We have the 5.0ta in Richmond, IN and are happy to show it anytime. Just message us and we'll set something up.

Ray,
You mentioned "There are several areas I want to ck out on the escape on the structure itself I'm a retired maintaince supervisor so I do go a little overboard on how things are done"
Since you will can only see a finished product which has many areas hidden, have you looked through the build pictures posted which show each trailer while in production- found here http://www.escapeforum.org/forums/f1...sics-3244.html and for the newer style http://www.escapeforum.org/forums/f1...yond-8031.html

One thing to remember about contacting the factory for names is that they'll only give out the names of owners that have told them it's okay. In other words, yeah, give 'em my name, I'll show the trailer, fling a contact card their way and hope they use it when/if they do purchase as they'll get a referral fee from ETI once you purchase ($200 CND if they're the only name supplied or split with someone else).

Lots of owners don't mind showing their trailer, but they're not interested in the referral system, so they may not be registered with ETI.

I'd suggest you (and everyone else wanting to view an Escape trailer) post a separate thread on this list titled "Want to view xxx in xxxx" and fill in the trailer and your town for the x. That way someone skimming the list will think "hey, I live near there, I'll contact them". If you don't get a response right away, periodically add a post to your original thread. That way it shows up on the right of your screen when checking in to this list. Not everyone is on here every single day, so someone in your neck of the woods may not see it originally.

When I first joined this list I asked to view some trailers and got several responses and that was before contacting ETI. Later on I expressed a wish to see a u-shaped dinette and someone else that had that in their 21 offered a viewing, which we gladly accepted (and have been forever grateful since none of the display models at ETI have a u-shaped dinette).

Good luck to anyone wanting to view one.

We knew we wanted an Escape but weren't sure of which one so we just hopped in the truck and took a little drive to Chilliwack. A few days and a couple of thousand miles later, our order was placed. Plus on a Saturday morning we got a personal tour of the whole factory with Reace. Escape trailers are built very well. Loren

You will be able to see the build quality on the Escape units that way . Also if you come down to SW Florida We can show you ours JIm .
Jim, if he comes down to SW Florida there are three 5.0TAs he can see. No need to look at a 21!!! But having owned a Scamp 19, I can say (my honest opinion) there is zero comparison between the two. The 5.0TA is everything the Scamp 19 could never even hope to be. Should the OP purchase a Scamp and then see an Escape, he will wish he had bought the Escape sight unseen.
