Hello from New Hampshire

I/we are in the beginning stages of shopping for a new camper. Currently have a "brand X" that we have enjoyed, but time to move along to a new family and replace with what we are hoping is an Escape 5.0 TA.

Hopefully we can gather lots of good information here before deciding and placing our potential future order.

Brian

Welcome Brian to our group. You will no doubt gather much information. We just picked up our new-to-us 5.0TA. We had a single axle 5.0 before.

Hi Brian, welcome to the forum. I know of a couple 5.0TA's up your way but don't know if they show them. If you want to look one over give ETI a call and ask for the closest. If you're lucky you may be able to look at a new body style.


You have just enough time to stop by the rally at the KOA in Chocurua NH, today through Sunday. Saturday is usually open house but folks are usually willing to show you their trailers pretty much anytime. Here's a link to the thread on the subject over on the fiberglassRV forum. http://www.fiberglassrv.com/forums/f...-nh-81593.html


You won't have a better opportunity to see all sorts of fiberglass trailers. Last I knew there will be at least one 5.0TA.

Thanks for the heads up Bob. I'll see about getting up there this weekend! The missus is out of town but I could take pics and share.

Here is a direct link to the post with the agenda. The “Shine and Show” is 9:30 Saturday morning. This is the best time to view trailers.

We are in S VT and Charlie and Lucy are in Sunapee. You can have a look at ours if you like and I bet Charlie and Lucy would oblige if you asked! Both are 2015 5.0 TAs.

Much obliged Ian, I may take you up on that offer. I'll send PM(s) if/when the time comes.

I'm currently at the Spring Fling in Chocurua, and while I haven't seen a 5.0, there are 2 21's - a classic & a new generation. Feel free to stop by to see the 21 in site 45 anytime.

Yes, attending a rally where there are Escapes is a great way to see most if not all of Escape's offerings. Check here Rallies, Get-togethers, Gatherings or Events - Escape Trailer Owners Community

Thank you all for all the info. I'm about an hour away from Chocorua and am hoping to get a couple hours to take a ride up on Saturday. I have a niece and future daughter in-law graduating from UNH in Durham in the morning and various festivities in the afternoon so we shall see how it goes. Either way I hope the weather cooperates for you all during the day. If I do make it I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible!

Hi Brian,
We are more than happy to show you our 2015 5.0 TA if we are close enough to you. We keep it at our house when not traveling.

Hi all-

Wanted to post a quick thank you to everyone I spoke to at the Spring Fling yesterday! I have to say you all are a mighty friendly group and I hope I will soon be joining the family with my own Escape.

The wife wants to see one or two before the final decision is made but I feel her input will be just as positive as mine.

Thank you all again!

Brian
