And getting smaller! Sightings were rare for us in Spokane but we've seen two Escapes in the last two days - a 19' "Eggy Sue" at Camping World yesterday and an unknown model being pulled by a maroon truck ahead of us on I-90 east the day before. We used to be lucky to spot one once a year.

I immediately recognized their beautiful red graphics from the August, 2016 Escape Calendar. We had a nice chat and promised to give a once-over-security-check to each others rigs when we visit our own.
I must say, It is a small world to Escape!

Is yours the one that used to be in the lot next to Jack in the box near Irvington?

Yes it was, caddoster! We loved that storage facility. Easy in and Easy out, and only 5 minutes from our home. Roger's Camping Trailers has been at that location for more than 55 years; long before the Jack-In-The-Box. The City wants to redevelop and the second generation owners are nearing retirement age. The time was right for a sale of the land. In 12-18 months that location will be 4 story condos, just like across the street. I grew up in Irvington and prefer the way it was, before all the redevelopment. But, time goes on.......

Crap... I did not know about Roger's Camping Trailers until I noticed your trailer parked in the lot. I was just thinking that will be a good place for us to bring the future Escape in for service and random stuff.

Yeah, They were Sales and Service for many, many years, before the economy took a dive 10 years ago. Then, nobody was buying RV's. So, they made lemonade out of lemons, dropped the Sales, and added the Storage. It was great for them, as all those who stored there, also serviced there. It was great for those who stored, because service was On-Site. They are moving to Tracy, CA. and will not be storing. Only Service and Repairs. I will continue to use them, when needed, as both our daughters live in Tracy, and we are out there 1-2 times a week anyway. Plus, they are good mechanics, and I have known the owner since High School. He was a star football player and wrestler, and always a real nice, honest guy.

That was us on our way back home to Canada after a trip that included going to the outdoor quilt show in Sisters, Oregon and then into Missoula, Montana to visit family.

The 21' pulled by a Maroon truck was Us! Bill & Lisa from Okeana, Ohio. Picked her up on July 11th, camped at Lynden KOA one night then headed to Yellowstone. Safe Travels!

Spotted a 19 Escape near Southeast entrance to Yellowstone Park. Because we've got one on order, I made hubby stop to get a closer look at it. Met Patrick from BC, the owner of the 2013 model, and he even let us look inside! What fun! Seeing as I've only seen the inside of a 19 twice before, it was so exciting to take a peak with some questions already in mind. Also, since we're on the road with our 16 Scamp, it was cool to see/feel how much bigger our Escape will be. Can't wait!!!

Today I saw what looked like a brand-new Escape 21 parked at a rest stop near Sequim, Washington. I didn't see the owners; perhaps they were inside, taking a nap. They needed it after going down the convoluted road to reach that rest stop.

Escape 19 (red graphics) parked on Old Island Highway at a repair facility, hope its a quick fix for whatever you are getting done or maybe maintenance.
Don't see to many here so we drove in to take a look, hope you don't mind. Reconfirmed we liked the 19 and can't wait for ours. Most of the pics I see on this website make the 19 look bigger than it is in person.

Stopped last Saturday at the Britton Creek Rest Area just after noon on British Columbia Highway 5 Northbound and saw a couple of Escapes and we made 3 and lined up and had a quick reunion. The New 19 was from Surrey, BC, the 17B was us from North Vancouver, BC and the older style 19 was from Vancouver Island. Had fun chatting about everyone's experiences and how great our trailers were. In fact the old style 19, was a second Escape having passed his first (a 17) to his son or daughter.

About 40 minutes earlier (about 11.30 am) we also saw a 17 going southbound into Hope, BC.

Britton Creek looks a lot different than when we stopped there on May 10, certainly no other Escapes and huge piles of snow still all around the parking lots.

We had a boat between us (fiberglass of course) and the second that they pulled out, Chris quickly relocated and managed to get the spacing perfect on the first try
