Probably so John, I have a terrible memory - well about meeting people that is. Hopefully by the time Bluebonnet rolls around again this whole COVID thing will have run its course.

Greetings John, from a fellow former USAF Air Traffic Controller. Radar as well!

We debated between the 17 and the 19 back in 2014. We even put a deposit down on a 17. A wise fellow who owns a 19...

Yes, but production dates aside, the best thing about it is, you'll have a 19.

The best approach is always to see them in person. The 17 and 19 feel very different inside. Spend some time in each.

I also put the strap in the middle when I roll it up. It's easier to pull it down when you're working from the middle, and that's how it came so I never thought to change it. There's no way my strap...

The lever looks like it's in the open position in the photos. That would allow the awning to loosen and unfurl when buffeted by the wind. In the close position it won't budge, because the spring...

Arm latches locked, knobs tightened, and the lever in the retract position. 3 years and thousands of miles later, not a single issue with the awning, and we haven't used any additional straps. I...

I know full well what it says Jim, but you and I also know what it does. Provided there aren't heavy winds, you've sloped the awning, and it's tight, you can leave the Carefree deployed in the rain...

Sure, as long as it works properly and isn't a step backward in capability. Not being able to deploy it in rain isn't progress. It's kinda the main reason we use our awning in the first place.

I welcome any constructive criticism. That goes for the trailer or those who own it. I don't want anyone put in a corner, but also won't stand idly by when the forum is mischaracterized.

Nonsense. Criticize something on an Escape all you want. I've done my share. My comment had to do with the term "fan boy". A fan boy is an extremist, and the term also has the inference that the...

If you don't like Escapes, don't buy one. There's no need to insult satisfied owners.

I'm trying to wrap my head around that. The awning belongs over the entry door. And that space wouldn't be "eaten up" by the door in just the 17, but all models. Where else would you put it? Driver's...

True story Dave: at the Bluebonnet Rally one year, two Casita owners who toured my 19 bought an Escape 19. The next year, another one.

The bathroom ceiling height is lower on the 17B, but because the interior height of the trailer is 3" less than a 19. You wouldn't think 3" is alot, but every inch counts when you're talking a small...

It's true that the right answer depends on YOUR camping needs. I'm not sure what value my thoughts would be, but here goes nothing: We originally ordered a 17 before we spent time in each trailer. We...
