Just to add to my comment. (I was feeling a little happy at our local brew pub when replied). Thanks for trying to get things back on track. The frosted cabinet doors are cool. Although my wife raised an eyebrow when I showed it to her and said "I like this!".

There are 16 colors available with the kit I used ... white being one of them. It is nice to be able to see what's in the cabinet especially at twilight before it is dark enough to use the overhead lights.

What exactly are your issues? We have had our 50 for a couple years now and it has been almost trouble free. The 1 issue we had with a window was immediately addressed by by the owner of the company. We couldn't be happier with the product and the company.

Ahhh, good to know. Just bookmarked one. My list of cool things is getting long! Thanks for posting it.

Yeah, we couldn’t be happier with our Escape 21, which we have proudly driven and displayed at campgrounds. The most recent, at Tippecanoe State Park, Indiana. What a fantastic group of fiberglass campers. Mostly Casitas, but we were welcomed, and welcomed them back as well.

Our first set of photos! Completion date is 6/26. Orientation not until 7/31.

[JStelly]

Our second set of photos. They are progressing quickly now.

[JStelly]

Day 3 Photos. Doesn’t look like much progress unless you look very carefully.

[JStelly]

Day 4 photos. They are making good progress. The countertop is now visible and the appliances and cabinet doors are in place.

Nice, love the floors!

[JStelly]

Thanks! We are looking forward to seeing the complete package with the countertop and fabric on the cushions.

So I have a question. We have the standard windows in our new 5.0 shown above. The windows in the bed area appear to be awning style windows. Is this the standard or a recent change? We like them! It’s a pleasant surprise. Just didn’t know they would be awning style instead of sliders.

I just looked at mine and the forward window appears to open like yours and I have the standard windows also. Still haven't got the pictures with the cushions and I'm curious as to how they will look. Leave on Monday and just found out my truck spare tire has a hole in the sidewall. It's a spare that can only be used as a spare and takes special tools to mount tire to rim. I called around trying to find a tire and rim with no luck. My next door neighbor is in the car business and he and an associate located a 2004 rim and tire in a local salvage yard so tomorrow morning I'll be rummaging through a junk yard trying to pull a spare. I haven't done that since I was stationed in Germany many decades ago. I do have roadside assistance with USAA so I'm on the road Monday morning spare or not

Thanks. I’ve been following your other thread with interest. Good luck with the tire and your trip to Chilliwack. We will be doing much the same trip in July. I’m looking forward to crossing paths some day. I’m retired military (USMC) and retired airline (IT supporting all the Operations Groups) as well.

Tire worked out well. Pulled one, almost new, off a 2004 Ram 1500. It's on 17" rims and my main tires are 20" but it works. Plus it only cost me $24 tire and rim.
Started out basic 0300 USMCR, Parris Island PLT 126 '65 but later on went over to the dark side. At different times and different places in the Army I got to work with 3rd Force Recon and later on in much more civilized conditions 2d Force Recon.

Those temporary spare tires that Rams use have been an issue for some years. They are not rated for towing, and depending on the exact tire also have speed restrictions, and the wheel they are on is narrower than the standard rims so will not accept a matching tire. I bought a new wheel and full size matching tire for my spare - if I am out in a remote area with our trailer and get a flat I want to have a spare that is able to go a good ways if needed.

and they have been shorting the consumer for awhile, my 2014 has a temp spare and I carry a full sized wheel and tire also in the bed since discovering that issue a couple of years ago when I purchased new tires.
