I had black counters and and edges for my build several years back. At the time, Escape didn't offer them so I had to supply the materials but they willingly installed them. I ordered the black edging from a supplier in Texas because I was adamant about having black. I also sourced out black screw cover caps and black trim to replace the backsplash coping. I figured if I was going to spend big dollars on a new trailer, then I wanted it my way! And as the norm, Tammy and Reece were fine with it.

That's our feeling as well. Even though it'll be some time before we can actually afford to purchase the trailer and truck, we're already looking at countertop options. That's getting narrowed down to a blue (denim canvas) or two different blacks (basalt slate or midnight stone). Yesterday we looked at Sunbrella fabrics at a local store - have 4 samples on order. Flooring will be next.
If we go with black countertop, I really like how some folks have added in black handles and hinges - but that's another cost, so we'll have to see about that. Not sure if painting them will hold up over time.

Congratulations Ellen on your first build sheet! We changed ours many times until we signed off on it. Luckily ETI was very easygoing with all the questions and changes that we asked and made. Such great people to deal with!

Ellen, you have the right attitude when you say this is your first Build Sheet. I don't know how many revisions we went through before we were finished. That said, I think we would be happy to have our trailer in any of the configurations we went through...

Thanks, Leon! I hear ya - I'm pretty flexible - am sure I would love just the base 17B but . . . as long as those options are available and there's time to ponder . . .
