I have a question about your counter tops. We noticed that no matter the color of the edging material (tan, white, brown or black) the little rubber screw head covers were light brown. Yours appear to be black. Did you supply those or did Tammy supply those?
Thanks. Egbert is a beauty.

When I ordered my trailer in 2011, I supplied Reace with the black edging for my counters and tables. The black covers are just snap covers and I purchased them at Lowes. I changed all the cabinet handles too so they were easier for my husband's larger hands plus I wanted a nickel finish. If you want different colored edging, then Reace can probably get it now - he didn't have a supplier at the time. Snap covers and the other stuff you can change at your leisure.

I had noticed that with LBaranyai's pics, too, so asked her about it. When I popped the covers off to take to the store to size them, I thought I'd just try spray painting them first. (I have every color under the sun at home.) It worked so I'm done. Next up is to replace or "re-color" the brown edging.

Hi Karen,
My wife and I really like what you have done with your trailer. What is the counter top you went with? Is the flooring standard? Everything looks really great together. We are hoping to order one soon.
Enjoy your new home on wheels!

Thank you! The laminate is Formica Mineral Olivine Radiance Finish (3447-RD) and the vinyl is Congoleum Ultima Sandstone (Jalapeno). Keep in mind that there is quite an upcharge for custom vinyl as Escape is only paying about $6 per square meter for their product...you pick up the difference in price between their product and your pick and it can be hefty.

It looks like you have a two burner stainless steel stove. I didn't see that in the options. Was that a special order? I like the shelf behind the stove too!
Thanks,
John

Egbert looks totally beautiful! Like that bed set-up. You certainly put a lot of nice personal touches. Now for the fun. As for the rally, if it gets a little warm, the Maxx fan helps that quite a bit.

I don't think I've seen the two-burner SS stove listed as an option but I found it online (same manufacturer) so requested it. No problem there. The shelf is necessary for ventilation purposes on the 15A with the small refrigerator. Escape has changed the configuration now so the refer is on the passenger side. But they can build you anything you want (almost) including an additional shelf.

The first trip out...
...in Egbert went without a hitch. Everything worked perfectly as expected. Even the solar panel kept up with my needs despite rainy days and overcast skies. While I didn't beat the ten-minute record posted a couple of weeks ago, I gave three tours the first day and two the second; then everyone was settled in for the long weekend. Two options with which I am the most pleased: the front storage box (I really wavered on that one) and the drop-down shelf as a landing just inside the door.
On to the next adventure...

Love that pic ...... Is that little shelf not in the way of where one sits - by drop down you mean it folds out of the way .....seems a really good idea .

It sounds like fun! We are going back and forth about the storage box too. I think it will be handy and will also protect the front of the trailer. Is that black trim you have around the Formica shelf?

Nice looking rig KarenH. Is the TV antenna worth it?

The drop-down shelf is just like the counter extension in all the Escape models. It measures about 8" x 16" and barely projects beyond the door frame, so it does not interfere with one (or two) sitting on the couch/bed and it serves as a drink holder. If I were ever to change my bed back to a two-person dinette, with an 8-inch depth it does touch the back cushion when dropped. It was blocked in during production.
The laminate trim is black and is the same as used in the galley (see post #2). I believe Escape has three colors of trim now: black, dark brown, and the other color... ochre?
While I won't know the true worth of the antenna until winter camping, it surely does work. One night before my family showed up, it was raining way too hard for a fire. So I fired up the television instead to see what was what. I pulled in something like 30+ stations, including all the networks, and they were crystal clear. (This was at Keystone or Fort Casey as it's called now--by the ferry to Port Angeles, Washington.)

Yep, Reace recycles as much as possible, the little drop down tables in the Escapes were originally castaways, these are the sink cutouts from the kitchen counter!!

Karen, I just saw your post and wanted to congratulate you on your new Escape! We've been doing a lot of camping over the last several weeks and have been gone... I know you've waited a long time for this and want to say congratulations again! It is a great feeling isn't it?!!

Oops...
That ferry goes to Port Townsend, not Port Angeles. And I forgot to mention that thanks to others' suggestions on this forum, I had my propane guy assemble a fitting so that I could run my Coleman stove directly off my main propane tanks. He put a valve on there insisting that I bleed off the propane when finished cooking so as to prevent gumming up of the line and the stove fitting. Worked like a charm!

Karen,
Could you tell me your color choice names for the counter tops, floor, and black trim. I'm thinking of the same for the 21', I like your choices.

Thank you very much! The counter laminate is Formica Mineral Olivine (Radiance Finish) 3447-RD with the standard black trim that Escape has available now. The flooring is Congoleum Ultima Sandstone (Jalapeno). I ordered it not knowing how much Escape pays for their standard vinyl, thinking how bad could the upcharge be? I found out when I got the bill. Escape pays $6 per square meter (!!) for theirs and the Congoleum product was $41 per square meter so the upcharge was over $400. Surprise. But I love it and don't regret it a bit.

No, the upcharge for a custom laminate is only $40 regardless of what you choose...at least it was when mine was in production. The vinyl upcharge would be more for a 5.0, I believe, as there is more floor space. It would be whatever the difference is between the per-square-meter prices (mine was $35 per square meter) times the amount of vinyl required. I don't know if there is an additional $40 upcharge for stocking it or not.

The upcharge for the laminate on our 19 is $100 plus another $100 for the radiance finish.
