To My Beloved Community,
A few months ago, I began thinking about everything that has happened over the course of the past 20 years of my life. In those years, nuCamp has grown tremendously. As we all know, with growth comes change. I have experienced many changes over the last few years, from growing my family and overcoming personal adversity to adapting as the business matured and the economic landscape shifted.
It’s astonishing to think in that time span, I got married, graduated from law school, and started a family. Now, two of my children have graduated high school and are finding their own paths in life.
It’s been nearly 17 years since I was presented an opportunity to do some part-time, contract-based marketing work for a small distributor named Little Guy. At the time, they sold a couple dozen trailers a month and operated out of the attic of a used car dealership.
As the scope of my work increased, I learned the product, used my analytical skills, and discovered opportunities for improvement. Eventually, I had the privilege to be introduced to an individual outside of the company by the name of Joe Mullet. While he seemed to be entirely different than me, we quickly realized that we shared the same vision for superb products and a heart for people.
Since that time, a lot has changed:
- We went from his garage to a 150k+ sq ft facility with 2 other buildings
- We went from Joe being the sole employee to a team that has topped 200.
- We went from building just 1 teardrop a week to over 80.
- We went from exclusively producing Little Guys’ and ‘Silver Shadows’ to TAGs, three different kinds of TABs, three different kinds of Cirrus truck campers, Barefoot campers — not to mention, myPods, Cirrus 720s, and AVIAs.
It’s amazing to look back on our progress with products and buildings, but even more so, the way that the community has grown. I have known some of you since 2007 and others I met at uCamp for the first time this year. No matter the length of time, the fact is, we all started a new season in our lives when we joined this amazing community.
Just like there are the beginnings of seasons, there are also endings, and sadly, after a great deal of reflection, prayer, and wise council, I have decided that it is my time to step away from nuCamp.
Coming to this decision was not easy, especially given everything I have poured into this company over the years. I have had the honor to work and grow alongside people that care genuinely and put others ahead of themselves.
With that, the obvious question to answer is, “Why?”
There isn’t a concise way to bring clarity to my “why” but when I felt a nudge to explore a new path, I began to reflect. I learned years ago not to ignore those nudges, but rather investigate them with discernment, free from bias. I have also learned to trust the peace that surpassed understanding – and I have peace about this decision, even though it is difficult.
As I look both at the present as well as the future, I can confidently state that nuCamp is poised for continued success:
- The company was founded with the strongest of core values.
- nuCamp has a good name in the marketplace and a tremendous presence online.
- There are new products hitting dealers’ lots and exciting projects in the pipeline.
- I believe that nuCamp has a team that is unmatched anywhere in terms of care: for the product, our processes, and above all, people.
- There is a clear plan, with paced production, that will yield steady financial results.
In short, the future remains bright for nuCamp.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Joe and every one of you. This community is unique, loving, remarkable, and, in a word — amazing. I will always treasure the friendships and comradery that came with being part of this wonderful organization.
It has been my honor and immense pleasure to get to know and serve with you. The experiences and relationships I have built will forever hold a special place in my heart.
I love nuCamp and each one of you.
Humbly Yours,
Scott Hubble

Thank you for helping me make my small dream possible.
Scott,
It’s been an incredible joy to know you and to “work” with you ever since we first met you and Joe Mullet on the same day in April 2009 when we purchased one of Joe’s one at a time Silver Shadows. Through the years we have always been incredibly impressed with your ethics and core values and your role in creating a nüCamp family. We wish you an incredible future and will always treasure our relationship with you. Godspeed.
Thank you for being a long-time member of the nuCamp family. We’re so glad you’ve had the opportunity to get to know Scott over the years. His kindness and compassion have helped shape nuCamp into the company it is today. We appreciate your well-wishes.
Scott, I wish you success with your new ventures. You have guided me through my T@B ownership with honest care and compassion that I have never experienced in any other company.

It’s a vastly different experience and skill set required to launch and develop an organization than to maintain one. Congrats on doing an excellent job of developing this company, and best wishes for your next chapter.
Scott has played such an integral role in making nuCamp the company is today as he worked alongside our founder Joe Mullet. We cannot express how grateful we are for his leadership and kindness throughout the years. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.
Scott,
May your journey take you to new and great horizons. I was a pleasure working with you back in 2014 and 2015 developing the now Cirrus 820. Your leadership will be much missed at Pleasant Valley.
He will be missed greatly. We wish him the best as he enters a new chapter.
Scott, it has been a great pleasure to get to know you over the years. Life is full of endings and beginnings, like chapters in a book, and I know whatever beginning is ahead of you, you will shine being a part of it. I wish you all the best as you venture forth and hope to always be able to call you a friend. All the best.
Thank you for your touching message. Scott has greatly valued getting to know you over the years as well. Your kind words and support mean a lot during this transition. We all wish him the best in his next chapter and are confident he will continue to shine. Your friendship is deeply appreciated.
Congratulations Scott! May I coin one of my favorite phrases” When opportunity knocks, it doesn’t expect you to sit down for dinner”. So important to listen to the “ping” in ones brain! Your accomplishments are remarkable and NuCamp has benefitted from your vision. Wishing you excitement on your new adventures as we (the community) will continue to enjoy our quality campers while seeing what the road has to offer! ,??
