I also own a side bath Scamp, no sink. Thought that was perfect. Ten Forward has a sink. I find I use it a lot. Brushing teeth, washing face. AND when water is at a premium.... fill the sink with hot water and can take a 'reasonable' bath. Glad I have it, doesn't take up as much 'room' as I originally thought...

Lookin' good, and almost done ! Amazing how quickly things move...

Well had a good visit with the good folks at ETI last week while up there specking out our 21. Got all my questions answered plus a ton of great suggestions I hadn’t even thought of. We should had a final build sheet in a week. Just have to justify spending the $$ on the tongue storage box lol. Look forward to Sept 7 when we pick up or home away from home. Chilliwack is a very friendly town with plenty of friendly folks. After a few shake down trips we plan to go back up there for a couple weeks and really see all the sites

Each day around 4pm mountain time I find myself looking at the clock wondering if I have new pictures.

If you decide on the tongue storage box, you will be happy you spent the $$. It is so nice to store dirty / wet stuff without having to worry about cleanup later.

I look forward to seeing your pictures as the trailer is being built. I'm sure it will be great!

Well I got my second set of pictures today, excitement is building. Already booked a spot in Deception pass for the day after pick-up.

Changes I see today, windows, exterior shower, range hood vent, access doors, kitchen faucet and they gave me a close up shot of modified U-dinette base.

[Kent]

Though I know what the sheets of paper taped to sides are, but wondering what the orange tape was for. I was able to get good enough picture and zoomed in on one. Looks like they are notes to the workers regarding approved special request/modifications or spots that need special attention.

Maybe everyone knew that, but now I know.

I like that enlarged "U" dinette area, great idea.

Jim, this was something I thought for sure they would not do, but received a yes rather quickly. I think it helped I was able to show them what I wanted while at the factory. I felt the rear bench was not deep enough and main reason for the change request. At the time I was not sure how much to move the foot board, but decided to move it 4 inches forward or 22 inches from the rear wall. Stock is 18 inches.

This was template I sent ETI when I decided on final dimension, the cushions will be custom sized and will still be able to make in bed if need be.

Total cost for modified U-dinette and cushions was $300

Awning installed, did not catch yesterday, but exterior propane quick connect installed.

Stripper pole installed, Cabinets doors and drawers started. Button caps for counter top are wrong color as they agreed to install the black caps I left them. Sent them an email and will see what their response will be). Window valances started. I see at least two of three counter extensions installed.

Looking good, Kent.

It is interesting that I had requested that the rear bench be narrower as I found foot room to be an issue, but Reace denied me. It is fairly tight in there as it is though.

Our final pictures ! ( For all-outlet inverter no solar, is there no control panel ? )

Your inverter readout might be on the left on the bench face unless they have moved it. The electrical panel should be behind the dark door.

Looking pretty finished and pretty pretty!

Thanks. That could be. We requested an additional AC outlet on that side, and I think I see 2 ( two ) things there. Hard to tell with pictures.

I did not see a propane tank cover on our build or others. Do they still come with one? I email ETI a few days ago and strangely I have not got a reply.

Another way to look at it. Have you ever seen one delivered that never had a propane cover?

Lots of these add on things (as opposed to installed) are likely just left to the end so they don't get dirty or damaged.

Near the end of the new Escape "how-its-made" video, when the finished interior is shown, a propane tank cover is shown inside the trailer. I think suspect that they leave it in there until delivery.
