That is good news! Very exciting! Decided already on what type? Is it going to be the 21 pull trailer or the 5.0 TA fifth wheel?

Trailer: Still a ground weary tenter

An Escape owner wanna-be!

After many years of proving we were die hard tenters, we have been wanting to change our ways. Been researching a few small trailers (Chalet, ALiners, Rockfords, T@Gs, T@Bs, RPods). All would have achieved our ultimate goal which was to no longer sleep on the ground, but they all have disappointed us in different ways. The Chalets were hard to find in Canada. The ALiners had an awkward interior design. The Rockford seem to have quality issues. The T@Gs were claustrophobic. The T@B has priced itself to high. And the RPod is too much not like camping (we didn't want the entertainment systems and everything). This morning I got up and my wife showed me the Escape Industries website. We've spent the day watching videos of reviews and interviews with Tammy and Rease. Thinking we have found our bed off the ground! Between the solid reviews, the clear quality of the product, and the aparent sincere concern of Rease and Tammy for their customers (who knew that happened anymore?) I believe we shall be Escapers! Or is it Escapees?

Congratulations Michael. That's one fine trailer. I know the wait is going to be a long one, but it's worth it - and it goes by faster than you think.

Welcome to the Escape world. We have an Escape 19 on order, due next August but hoping for an earlier completion date once production ramps up after the addition is complete. So maybe you won't have to wait so long either (unless you want to). We looked around quite a bit and the 19's floor plan works best for us. Plenty of people on this forum that know alot about trailers and are more than happy to answer any questions you may have so ask away.
