The frame paint is one thing the is definitely lacking on Escape trailers, and the majority of steel trailer frames out there. The frame and body of my 15 year old dump trailer is all an nice rust brown now, but still working fine.
And like Ron, I was never a fan of the storage box look, not following the body shape, and I always thought it looked to be falling forward too. I never had one on my 19 as they were not available then, but I do understand folks reasons for getting them, they sure are handy. I would be inclined to build one if I had a bumper tow.
