What's the lead time on ordering a Scout Yoho?

Scout's lead times have varied over the years, but currently run around 8-16 weeks depending on options and time of year. They build to order in Prineville, Oregon. Used Yohos are rare on the market because owners tend to keep them, and when they do appear, they sell quickly and hold their value well.

3-Season

Scout's compact hard-side camper designed for short-bed trucks. Lightweight composite construction with kitchen and a clean, modern aesthetic. No bathroom to save weight.

TL;DR

The Scout Yoho is one of the lightest hard-side campers on the market, making it genuinely half-ton friendly. No bathroom keeps things simple and weight down, but the trade-off is real livability limitations for extended trips.

What You Need to Know

Great For

Half-ton truck owners who want hard-wall durability without the weight penalty, weekend warriors and hunters who don't need a bathroom, and anyone stepping up from a shell or rooftop tent who wants real insulation and weather protection.

People Love

The weight is the star here — at 1,650 lbs dry, it's one of the few hard-side campers that actually works on a half-ton without playing payload roulette. The all-aluminum construction feels overbuilt, and owners report zero issues with water intrusion even after years of use. The price point makes it an accessible entry into Scout's lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I really put the Scout Yoho on a half-ton truck?

Yes, the Yoho is specifically designed for half-ton trucks. At 1,650 lbs dry, it works on F-150s, Tundras, and Ram 1500s, but you still need to verify your specific truck's payload rating. Look for trucks with heavy-duty payload packages — you'll want at least 1,800-2,000 lbs of payload capacity to safely carry the Yoho with water, gear, and passengers.

How do Yoho owners handle the lack of a bathroom?

Most Yoho owners either use a portable toilet like a Thetford or Dometic unit stored in the truck bed or outside, or they camp at locations with facilities. Some owners mount a small privacy shelter outside. The lack of a bathroom is the biggest compromise for this camper, and it's the main reason some owners eventually upgrade to a larger model.

Ask anything — we'll research it and add it to this page.

Weight & PayloadPositive

At 1,650 lbs dry, the Yoho is genuinely half-ton compatible — a rarity in the hard-side world. Real-world wet weight with gear runs around 2,000-2,100 lbs, which still leaves breathing room on trucks like the F-150 with the heavy payload package or a well-optioned Tundra. Owners consistently praise how little it affects driving dynamics compared to heavier campers.

Dry weight of 1,650 lbs makes it one of the lightest hard-side campers available
Real-world loaded weight typically 2,000-2,100 lbs with water and gear
Works on F-150s, Tundras, and Ram 1500s with adequate payload packages
Noticeably less top-heavy feeling than campers in the 2,000+ lb dry weight class

Build QualityPositive

Scout's build quality reputation carries through to the Yoho. The all-aluminum, fully welded frame is a big selling point, and owners report excellent fit and finish. Seams are sealed well, cabinetry is solid, and the overall construction feels purpose-built rather than mass-produced. A few owners noted minor cosmetic issues on delivery, but nothing structural.

All-aluminum welded frame with no wood in the structure
Fit and finish rated highly by owners compared to competitors at this price
Seam sealing and weatherproofing hold up well over time
Minor cosmetic QC issues reported occasionally but nothing structural

LivabilityMixed

The Yoho is small and owners know it going in. The lack of a bathroom is the biggest livability trade-off — you're relying on public facilities or a portable toilet stored outside. The interior is functional but compact, with limited counter space and storage. It's best suited for short trips or as a basecamp camper where you spend most of your time outdoors.

No bathroom option available — portable toilet or public facilities only
Counter space is limited, cooking is better done outside
Sleeping area is comfortable for two adults but tight
Best suited for weekend trips or basecamp-style camping rather than full-time living

ValuePositive

At around $28,000, the Yoho is Scout's most affordable model and one of the cheaper hard-side campers on the market. Owners feel the value is excellent given the build quality — you're getting Scout's premium construction at an entry-level price. The main value debate is whether a hard-side without a bathroom is worth $10K more than a well-equipped pop-up.

MSRP around $28,000 makes it Scout's most accessible model
Build quality punches above its price point compared to competitors
Holds resale value well due to Scout brand reputation
Some question whether a no-bathroom hard-side justifies the premium over pop-ups
