Ours was the 1st solar panel that Escape used the 3M vhb tape to mount it with back in Sept 2009. To date, we haven't experienced any issues with it adhering to the roof.

From the 2nd roof top pic, it looks like the fridge is now vented via the top of the trailer as opposed to the side. Is that correct? If so, does anyone know when Escape started doing that. Also,...

Re: Where in bed do you put your head?

We sleep with our heads on the passenger side & have our tv mount on the street side fridge wall. The tv mount is more out of the way on the fridge side. It also feels a little more open to me having...

Re: Newbie questions

We use the wdh sold by Escape and tow with a Toyota 4Runner. When hitched up to the wdh, we can open the 4Runner's rear hatch without any problems for loading & unloading things out of the vehicle.

Re: Escape 19' screen room instructions

I agree with the steps posted above. It only takes me approx 5 minutes to get it set up now but took a little bit longer the first couple of times.

Re: Question for families with kids!

It sounds like either size would work for you so it comes down to what your preferences ultimately are. We got our Escape when our kids were 2 & 4 yrs old. We were already considering the 17b but...

Re: Propane Tank Cover - White no more...

That gap looks about the perfect size for a cooler full of beer. Of course, you'd probably need a cooler full of beer on the back as well in order to keep your tongue weight balanced properly. ;D

Re: 4Runner w/o Tow Package

Since you are hoping your 4Runner will last for another 10 yrs, I'd recommend getting a transmission cooler installed if your vehicle isn't already equipped with one.

We have an older 4Runner...
