Smile So long, it's been good to know you.

After a great three summers (2009-2010-2011) we've had to concede that health issues have put a stop to our RVing days.

Can't say enough positive about Tammy and Reace. They -- all of you -- have...

We drove Victoria BC to Dawson via Fort Nelson and return in 2010, and quickly found it wise never to pass a gas station -- try to go "x" number of miles as you would further south before stopping,...

I've just returned to reading the forum after a few weeks off because of a health problem, and it looks to me as if there is now an online map somewhere of Escape locations. I've tried using the...

Re: Leveling an Escape 19'

Many sites we've been in would permit using a shovel to level without any apparent damage, because they're basically sand or gravel. I'm thinking of sites in northern BC and Yukon, especially Fort...

Re: Medical Travel Insurance

It just occurred to me that it might be worth checking out travel insurance offered through CARP, the Canadian Association of Retired Persons. We have no direct experience with them, but it occurs to...

Re: Extended towing mirrors

There's egg on my face re saying the 19 is "fourteen" inches wider than the 15s and 17s -- of course, the difference is only 4". I guess an unexpected "teen" made a nuisance of itself; any parent...

Re: Extended towing mirrors

We started out using the Tow-n-See mirrors in '09, but found after a few hundred km that we really didn't need them. Our van's original equipment mirrors, properly adjusted, let us see straight back...

Re: Winter of 2011

About taking the trailer further south --- we read a caution about giant cockroaches in the southern US. This was in a book on full-timing that we liberated from an RV park laundry room in Regina. It...

Re: 2012 Escape Trailer Rally

We made our reservations November 4, after dropping our Guppy at Escape for its year-end service and winter sleep.

We missed the 2010, so are really looking forward to this!

Re: RAV 4 V6 and brakes

The owner's manual for our TV, an 09 Dodge Caravan with towing package, specifies that we should shift to a lower range when going downhill.

For instance, we come down the Coquihalla southbound...

Re: Winter Storage On Jack Stands

About putting the jack stands under the axles -- seems to me I recall reading someplace that these Dexter axles can be damaged by putting the weight of the trailer on them, so we shouldn't jack the...

Re: Towing a 17b with a Toyota Sienna

Seems to me I remember someone in Sacramento who has a Sienna and a 17B; they bought their Escape in 2009. If the name comes to mind, I'll post it.

We tow a 17A with a 2009 Grand Caravan (4.0...

Re: Vancouver island escape owners,,,How many?

We're a 17A wtih accessibility modifications, in Victoria (though the trailer lives at White Rock on the mainland). We've been considering bringing it "over from Canada" next year; a get-together...

Re: Towing a 17b with grand caravan?

We've towed our '09 17A about 30,000 km, mostly on the Trans-Canada, the Klondike Highway, and the Alaska Highway with our '09 Grand Caravan, and had no problem; it sails through mountain passes,...

Details, please, Brian -- do you shoot raw? Speed? Shutter? Aperture?
A fantastic picture.

Mysterious set of numbers at the corner of a posting . . .

Anybody know why my last post, re Prodigy controllers, has this <24.108.143.160> at the lower right hand corner? It looks like an IP address -- but why doesn't everybody's IP address show?

Re: Our options and why (19 ft)

Screen rooms need external snaps on the trailer body, which have to be installed during the initial build, I believe. We have one, but in two years' of ownership haven't used it yet, not even in the...

25000 km in our 17A without even a soft tire

Just have to share this around.

We left Victoria July 26/10, and were on the road for 100 days (92 of which were spent in the trailer), during which time we were as far south as Chicago, as far...

Re: brake controller upgrade

Our thoughts too, re the Prodigy. Reace just cured some low-speed chatter for us by showing us how to adjust the boost differently from city and highway conditions. It's our first and only, but...

Re: A farewell to Shiba (our family dog)

Re: WDH Spring Bars

There's also the safety concern about staying hitched. If, Heaven forbid, the trailer should catch fire during the night, it would be almost a certainty that it would take the tow vehicle with it. If...
