Small mobile home or Beetle? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scamper

'beetle?' is the definition.
(beetle can mean to scamper around)

'small mobile home' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'mobile home' becomes 'camper' (synonyms).
's'+'camper'='SCAMPER'

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for scamper that I've seen before include "Run with quick light steps" , "Run along quickly" , "Beetle" , "Skip playfully with campers" , "Proceed hurriedly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
