We would like to take a moment to clarify a couple of things regarding the Extra Insulation with Thermal Window Option.

If you order a trailer with the Standard Insulation Package it comes with the headliner material glued directly to the fiberglass shell. We will then cover any exposed or visible areas under the benches with the Reflectix Insulation.

If you add the Extra Insulation option, Reflectix Insulation then completely covers the interior of the trailer (except the floor). However, the 21' Escape and the NEW Escape 5.0 Tandem Axle Fifth Wheel, we do not line the ceiling with Reflectix, we use a honeycomb material in the fiberglass process which strengthens the roof and provides additional insulation.

During the last 5-6 months we have been changing the method of insulation throughout the trailer including:
- behind the bathroom
- wheel wells
- exterior door

This is why you are seeing the differences between your trailers. If you have ordered a trailer with the Extra Insulation but do not see it in your trailer, you may have to peel the headliner back slightly.

Thank you,

Reace
Thanks for clarifying.

It is an old adage that what keeps out the cold, also keeps out the heat.
We purchased our 19 about six years ago.
Because we lived in the Yukon, and we're doing our camping in the Yukon and Alaska, we had double insulation and double glazed windows.
Our first night in our trailer, had an outside temp of minus 10c. When we parked, I turned on the furnace.
We had a glass of wine, undressed and went to bed.
Had a good (warm) sleep got up in the morning and carried on.
No problem, just do not carry fresh water in the tank, or hot water tank.
You can purchase ant-freeze for the black water tank.
Beats sleeping in a tent.
We have since repeated this no problems.
