Micro Camper Drop Floor Provides Standing Height...Fits in Garage!

Published 2024-06-13
This camper may be little, but the drop floor makes it live BIG! The Little Guy Micro Max was influenced by the popular Serro Scotty camper which also introduced the original drop floor. What this did was allow standing height within the trailer, while still being able to park it in a garage. In this small camper trailer walkthrough tour you will see how they took the basic premise of the vintage trailer and added hardwood cabinets, euro windows, azdel composite, aluminum framing and much more to update this special little camper. Did I mention it seats 6 for dining! And it is one of the only small campers where you can have a bed and table set up at all times without having to break one down to use the other?

  • So I actually own one of these. Bought it new (2022 model) in April 2023. I have traveled about 8845 miles and spent 65 nights in all kinds of weather over the 16 months. There is lots of good and some fairly bad stuff when you consider that this is a house on wheels. Pros: 1a) I love the space for 1. I converted the big queen bed (which is too big a waste of space for me) to a pretty big single so I can keep the big table up and usable as well as still have seating for 2 in the large dinette space. I still use the small front dinette for eating and storing groceries, etc. 1b) Reducing bed size allows that AC unit to work much much better. 2) Most of the components are great and haven't had issues. I unplugged the TV to reduce parasitic power draw. Next step is removal. 3) At 7' 3.5", I can fit it in my garage by dropping tire pressure and a little ingenuity. Not as hard as it sounds and keeps it clean. Easy to maneuver by hand. 4) My cabinets and drawers stay closed, during travel. That lowered tub is great to keep things from rolling around! 5) I really like standing to do dishes and cook 6) Love not messing with a black tank or cassettes ever. I carry a Cleanwaste fold-up for convenience. Cons: 1) My biggest hassle has been the water connections to the hot water heater. Braided vinyl hose with Pex fittings is not ideal (i.e., stupid). Had many leaks, tried lots of "fixes" and now have some permanent water damage to cabinetry. However, FINALLY found a RV guy with the right stuff and I installed PEX tubing and flare fittings. No More Leaks (for last 3K+ miles anyway) 2) Battery placement is atrocious under a dinette seat. Ridiculously hard to get at and battery is screwed in a box. I made a "door" in the plywood access so I didn't have to drag the full length out just to check on it. Same on other side with water heater and water pump for winterization. 3) Door fit with original lock was "off". I broke a key in it and decided to replace. The new lock fits perfectly and the door closes and locks without trauma. 4) Slam latch on storage pops open even when locked on a really bumpy road!. Overall, I am having lots of fun. This is light enough for my Honda Pilot to pull it anywhere I need to go without a horrendous mileage hit. Phyllis M.

    I dig it. The fact that it fits in a standard garage is actually a HUGE selling point for those of us who cant park a trailer outside our house due to HOA rules.
  • I love it, I have looked at the vintage drop floor Scotty and thought why donā€™t they still make this. And now Little Guy does Thanks!
  • Another proud and happy 2023 Micro Max owner. When looking for a small camper, I had several requirements: 1) The GVWR couldnā€™t exceed 3500 lbs. 2) it had to sleep 3 adults without a tent. 3) Better build quality. The Micro Max hits every item. Here are my pros: 1) This little camper lives big and has great storage. Our adult son always travels with us and is 6ā€™0. Itā€™s a little short for him but not terribly. I would describe this camper as perfect for one, great for two and snug for 3 adults. Itā€™s great for us for trips up to about a week long. 2) The build quality is excellent. I couldnā€™t be happier. 3) Tows well with our F150. Iā€™m in the process of getting the trailer brake controller installed on my Outback Wilderness, which will be the primary tow vehicle. Having had mine for a year, I do have some dislikes. 1) The battery placement. Ugh! Especially if youā€™re like us and keep the rear dinette in the bed position. 2) If the temps are above 90 and you have it in the queen bed configuration, it takes hours to cool off in a hitch up and go trip after work on Friday. Weā€™re going to see how plugging it in at home and running the ac for a couple of days works. 3) Weā€™ve had trouble with the latch closure on the roadside front drawer under the small dinette not latching and staying closed. Honorable Mention: An outside TV bracket. Really????? All in all, super pleased and highly recommend the Micro Max. Edited to add: I thought seriously about ditching the microwave but surprisingly, I do use it more than I thought I would.

    Proud owner of a 2023 Little Guy Micro Max. Never had any issues with it (knock on wood). Except for leaking propane gas that was caused by a loose connection that we just had to tighten with a wrench. Everything else worked as advertised. Great quality little trailer that is perfect for my needs. I would buy it again! I am installing a lift kit for more clearance. Love, love, LOVE my Micro Max!šŸ„°
  • @pesto12601
    3:50 - that's some rough-shod craftsmanship there.. raw ediges and that white "panel" has some obvious gaps.... no recessed screen/nail holes either... a 30 second improvement that would show dedication to their customers. and $28,000 no less... .lol... campers are outrageously priced!
  • @CampMymy
    I love the ability to stand up, and itā€™s a good combo of rugged with nice amenities.
  • I took a look at one of these. We have a family of four and I was impressed with how it felt inside with all of us. Currently we are a Pup camping family. But down the road this one is up on the list.
  • @mrdave22
    You had me at Scotty serro. Loved that design. God bless everyone.
  • We have an Alto 1713 by Safari Condo out of Quebec, Canada. Very similar design except for a clamshell-style roof that gives it over 7 ft of head room inside. 1800lbs dry weight and not a stick of wood in the build. Developed and designed by an aircraft engineer. Amazing quality that meets or beats anything we've seen. Only unfortunate thing is that the wait list is presently over 2 years. We have NEVER regretted our investment in this great little trailer.
  • @alfamaize
    So close to the shape we would want if we ever had to replace our current trailer. It's always interesting to walk around campgrounds to see trailers that are jacked up so very high- we have a vintage trailer that has around 10" of clearance after I added two inches to it. Never have had a clearance problem at all. And we travel a lot with this camper- just finished a 34 night trip, on which we crossed 200 nights in just under 3 years with our low camper. If I were to suggest a different trailer to copy next- it would be the Aristocrat- which ours is based on (it's a WheelCamper). 17' adds enough length to really increase space, but the low floor and low height makes it fit into a garage, too. I totally get people who think they want to go camping out in the middle of nowhere. But I finished working in an industry were people constantly bought things they never, ever used. Ever. There's plenty of space in the market for people who know that low and light isn't going to cause any problems- and actually solve some serious ones.
  • @jgrant4520
    Thanks Drew! Very retro with some nice modern touches!
  • @noah786
    Love it! Perhaps incorporate a skid plate on the drop floor.
  • @lorifarmer9692
    Someone tell this man to stop āœ‹ļø justifying his quality! ā¤
  • I saw what you did there, slipping a clip of PJ from Princess Craft in at the end. She's so short and tiny, it gave a more spacious vibe in this camper! šŸ˜‰
  • I saw that trailer when P.J. was doing that tour you reference here. I thought it had a lot of potential and I still like it. It would be just about perfect for people such as myself, my daughter, and my son-in-law who may be considered vertically challenged. My son and husband are both around 6 feet and I can see them giving it a hard pass. I'm with you and would leave out the television and microwave.
