Is that the 12 inch filler board and cushion or the 18 inch? I'm wondering which one to get as I want the U shaped dinette and turn it into a lounge.

It is the 12" filler board / cushion. We got it for the same reason, to turn the U-shaped dinette into a lounge.

At Last!

Day zero finally arrived last Friday. I think the countdown started back in June sometime. We only had 4 nights this trip to enjoy the trailer but it was heaven. Our stick built was sold in early May so we have been going through withdrawals.
We left ETI and went to nearby Harrison Hot Springs to test everything out. Pleased to report absolutely no issues. All systems good to go right from the start. Trailer tows beautifully with the E2 equalizer hitch with sway control. So much nicer than the brick I used to haul.
As mentioned in an earlier post I added some bling so attached is a pic. Old hot rodding habit I can't shake!
Looking forward to our next outing on the 21st.
Cheers
Ken

Pics appear upside down. May need administration to fix... Done... Donna

I ordered them from KX Wheels in Surrey BC. The wheels are made by HiSpec out of the USA. Nice product. Tires were bought from a local tire shop in Nanaimo.

Hi: Kendo... I can't believe that ETI would mount such purty wheels on the top and not the bottom!!! LoL Alf

Did Escape install them for you or did you have to take the standard wheel/tires and replace yourself? Very nice set of wheels.

ETI installed them for me. I had them delete 5 rims/tires from the build sheet. We took them to Chilliwack and Nigel installed. FYI. ..our trailer also came with the Dexter 3500# axles they are using on the 2017's.
The rims and tires are exactly the same size ETI uses on the stock wheels they provide.
Cheers
Ken

Thank you Donna for fixing the pics. Uploaded from my phone and they came in upside down.
Sometimes you need a little help from your friends!

Ken, nice choice and looking at Hi Spec web site they are built for trailers and RV's with what they call "Clamp Force Technology".

Curious, what brand tire did you go with?

The tires I purchased are Maxxis. Nice tires but ETI uses Carlisle which are a nice product also. The Aluminum rim upgrade they offer is a Hi Spec rim as well. Not sure about the white rims?
Cheers
Ken

Hi, We are new to the forum, and I have spent a lot of time looking for ideas for fabric ideas.
Could you tell me the name/brand # of your upholstery?

Thanks so much,

I love your choice of blue, would you be willing to tell me what you chose?

Classic 21 pick up day is a week away

Hello everyone,
We will do orientation Friday 4 November 11am and hopefully head for the border early afternoon. Ordered September 2015 so its been a while.

Glad we were able to get the classic shell before the mold is sent out to pasture. The exterior looks as we had planned all along, smooth and clean. The interior deviated from original plan to change more than just the flooring. Aside from a very thick cushy floor all else remained stock for the time being. We have future plans to change this but not after making sure this is our keeper. We think it is a keeper.
