Serro Scotty Vintage Trailers

These trailers were manufactured by Serro (Scotty) Travel Trailer Company in Irwin, Pa between 1957 and 1997.....

Scotty producers took an active interest in making the owners develop a close bond amongst themselves around the theme of Scotty.

These owners in a way, became a family when they gathered at a company promoted campground named “Scottyland” to camp together.

Large clubs sprang out of this and their camping together became known as “Scotty Time”.

The original campground is still open in Rockwood, Pennsylvania and it welcomes all campers.

Scotty made an entry into trailer business by producing teardrops. Then gradually they moved to the production of 13 foot and 15 foot trailers.

The popular models were Scotty Lite, Sportsman and Hilander.

Scotty Lite

The vital stats for Scotty Lite teardrops include total length of 11’9”, outside width of 78”, outside height of 81”, inside height of 58.5”, approximate dry weight of 960 lbs and hitch weight of 90 lbs. As it weighs less than 1000 lbs the trailer can be also towed by small family cars. The original version of Scotty Lite was introduced back in 1979, it’s interesting to mention that the production of its modern version was resumed in 2011 by Serro Scotty Worldwide.

Hard to believe :-) - This is interior of the 1961 Serro Scotty Sportsman "Gaucho" trailer. It's true that most of what you see inside is new, however it reflects and mimics the original design...
