Whatever or whoever is the source of the problems /issues ,
Laura has exhibited far more patience and understanding than I possibly would or could . I hope her bad initial experiences do not effect her long term enjoyment of her trailer.
It seems that sometimes people's personnal options / deletion / modifications / changes solve one problem but lead to unintended consequences , unforseen by both ETI and the purchaser.

Yep, the more complicated the plumbing, the easier it is to become clogged...........

Our 21 is as original as the day it left Chilliwack. One modification planned is the Springfield pedestal and I will get around to that one of these years. Being it is always in the storage cave or in use, it is hard to get much done on it. Loren

I'm the same, about the only thing I've done is rearranged the cupboards at least a gazillion million times. I figure about 200 more trips and I'll have everything where I think it should be.

Actually, patience and understanding would have prevented many of the issues.

Now y'all have me rethinking my plan to tear out the full rear dinette in our soon-to-be new 21' and replace it with an 8-person Jacuzzi party tub. Now, on second thought, that might not be the best idea. Too much trouble to winterize. But I think I'll still mount a NASCAR race-watching lounge and mini bar on the roof, accessed by a spiral stairway in the bathroom, of course. Now that's still a doable mod come spring time and racing season. What could possibly go wrong?

Just have Escape leave an empty spot. You could roll this baby in or out depending on the weather and camp site. And electric/water hookups. Also, another fine Canadian Company so the exchange rates will be favorable.

Thank God for global warming; without it we wouldn't have Canadians. Or Alaskans.

One way stairway. Up.
Down: simply use the stripper pole

I love mine right out of the box, both of them! A few mods later, the love only gets better! Heading to AZ in a few weeks for winter camping bliss!

Loren, after we saw your rig at the house last spring, I couldn't see what else you would want to do to it. You had it optioned out very nicely and your tow rig was so well equipped I could see why you haven't modified it much. We'll come up to the farm this spring and see you if it's only to have supper in the big city. Keep us posted and Merry Christmas.

Some days I feel like I am the luckiest man on the face of the earth. Great Escape 19, many new rally friends over the past three years, wonderful sights and sounds from all over the country and best of all my wonderful wife Rita of 46 years who is the navigator, planner, chef and treasurer for our outings. All I gotta do is drive.

This one was at a large farm auction about a mile south of us. The Cub was parade ready complete with new rear tires. It sold for $2700 or so. The M was nice too but it was announced that it had a clutch or pressure plate problem and it sold for $28 or $29 hundred. It was nice too. Needed Tires but had the disc brake assy. power steering and an auxilllary hydraulic hookup. The bigger guys went pretty good too.
