New Old Timers (Looking for 17B)
Been around a little while, guess it is time to introduce ourselves.
We are a couple in our early 70's, live just outside Austin TX, but will always consider ourselves Oregonians. We had a 32' Alfa fifthwheel for about 8 years which we used to escape the heat/rain and see most of the US, about 50,000 miles worth. A few years ago we decided it was much larger than we wanted to handle, and have been without an RV for 3-4 years.
In looking at those aspects of our lives we realized that the things we remember with the greatest amount of pleasure are those we experienced while rving. The people we met, the campgrounds, scenery, meals cooked in the dutch oven over the fire, freedom to follow our whims, clean air and quiet. This led us to decide to downsize and an Escape 17B looks like just the ticket. Large enough for two to spend some time in, but easy to tow and maintain.
We have not yet had an opportunity to see an Escape, so are flying blind, but are looking at what is available used. Given the low supply and high prices we have pretty well decided to order new, but do not want to take possession until early summer 2020, so cannot order yet. Thus, still looking. If anyone owns one in the Austin/San Antonio area we could look at we would appreciate it. (Even if it is not a 17B it would give us ideas on build quality, size and features).
We are long term planners and are really looking forward to both the process and the opportunity to travel this great country again, back to some of our favorite places.
