I wonder why….

While looking at an older Escape 5.0, I noticed in 2010 that the upstairs bed entrance was finished off at the top and sides. Newer versions do not do this? I sort of like the entrance way look, do you?

I think the new 5.0TA looks more open, but the classic look provides an easier mounting area for a curtain.

I wonder why they stopped doing that look in 2010 because in later years it does show up.

Hi: All... The reason the 5.0TA is now opened up is that Reace is using a new material on the inside of the roof for extra support. The increase in the roof span called for a different method of support. My brother came over last night and looked at our 5.0TA. His reaction was... it looks more open than the 5.0 did. I agree!!!

I like the open style much more, although I do plan to put a curtain on mine for obvious reasons as I am a early riser.
