It looks like Escape uses the bike ready fender to stabilize the trailer during the build process.

The bike-ready bumper? Yes, good catch, it looks like a steadying stand in the receiver. The stabilizer jacks are standard equipment - perhaps the stand is just faster to use as the trailer is moved between workstations.

Yes,
The shower nozzle was the Oxygenics mentioned in this site a while ago. The paper towel holder is the Simple Human one and they'll mount over the sink in kitchen. Shipping from US was expensive, but we'll be ready to go when we pick up the unit on May 2nd.

Thanks, I was thinking the towel rod was in the shower as opposed to a paper towel rack.

Is the battery shutoff switch an option as opposed to standard feature on all Escapes?

It is standard with the dual 6-volt batteries; I don't know about the other configurations.

That was one of those options that would have been missed if it wasn't for the forum.

It has to be ordered if you get a 12 volt single battery. One of those things you want to ask about.

Oxygenics Shower Head
Here's a photo of ours. We bought it here and mailed it to Escape; however, the postage cost almost as much as the unit.
