Ron didn’t get it all! I finally,after 3 different rally’s, was able to snag the next to last piece of Jon Vermilye’s Blueberry Pie. It was good to! I’m the one in the green hat, sunglasses,green shirt, maroon lounge pants, and leather boots. Gawd! I look like a Bum! My wife says, what do you mean- looks like. what’s she mean by that ?

OK I have to ask whats different? I would say fiberglass trailer owners in general could be called 'different type' but curious what makes and Escape owner different?
Now I will say when we got our trailer a few months ago I was proud that I had found what I wanted at a price I wanted to pay for it and as far as I'm concerned have bought the last trailer we will ever own but not sure that makes me different just proud.
Like others we had a Casita and main difference I notice already is a Casita looked different so more people asked about it or wanted to look at it, for the most part people seem to see an Escape as just a trailer. Now granted that could change some with time, best part is we know what we have and couldn't be happier.
Happy and safe holidays to all.
Steve

The big guy
Hi Steve,
So far it’s only happened to us once. Being the big guy that is. Last fall at the Mississippi River Rendezvous there were around 30 campers in the loop. The loop
was full. There were 9 Escape 21s, that were the biggest campers in the loop including ours. Other times we’re the smallest rig in a loop. But one of my favorite situations, usually in the spring, in the west, at upper elevations with a little snow on the ground yet, is when we’re the only camper in the loop. In that situation, if you look, you can usually find bear tracks.

I missed out on it there, but Jon personally delivered some to the Escape folks at the boler 50th rally. Blueberries are my favourite fruit, and Jon's pie is delicious!
And you look more like a prospector ready to hit the local hills for some gold or gemstones.

Well, not quite at the front, I must be slipping. But I'm betting if it was a Scotch tasting bar you'd be the one at the front of the line.

I am totally with you Kevin!!! I think I can say without hesitation that any RV park with a MINIMUM length requirement is not the kind of place I'd be caught dead in anyway. One reason I bought my 19 is so it can be maneuvered into sites at campgrounds and dispersed sites that can't accommodate the big boys. I guess I'm still a tenter at heart, I camp at places to get away from that scene, as well as TV, internet, full hookups, etc. And agreed, camping in our new 19 is definitely like a 5-star hotel, only the view is better!

My favorite local state campground has a MAXIMUM length of 22' and no hook-ups.
