Escape Rally in the Valley, 2023

[MyronL]

I thought that was you, Ron...

[brroberts]

Thanks Ron, looking forward to the video. I do lots of things, even fiberglass and gelcoat, but I’m terrible at it.

Myron, sometimes you remind me of that old joke. "You're a card and should be dealt with."

Hope you're getting in some serious trailer time.

We're set up in #19. Lots and lots of Escapes here already.

ETI doesn't have the list of attendees and their campsite numbers ready yet.

Mike, are you here yet?

Ron

[Mike Lewis]

I am here. I am in site #86. My arrival was delayed by a cattle drive.

[ghosthunter]

Well for the folks not at the Rally.

Great weather. We are by the water. Little wind yesterday afternoon but very nice today.
We happen to end up with the famous Johnny as our next door neighbor.

Lots of trailers here.


Couple picks.

One of the registration gifts was deck of cards. I checked to see if the Escape name was on each card but found something better! Some great pictures of memories of some Escape owners.

Ha ha- didn't have to wait five minutes to see a 5.0 TA heading through the intersection. Looks like great weather too.https://www.destinationosoyoos.com/o...BoCQr4QAvD_BwE

Very cool

Just looked at the 23.

Wow, they've knocked it out of the park.

I've seen condos with smaller kitchens and those bunk beds will really put an end to climb over or scoot decisions.

The 23 sounds nice. Did you mean “twin beds,” Ron, or did ETI accelerate their design of the bunk bed model?

Anybody get any photos? Sure would like to see them since we didn’t make it to the Rally.

[Mike Lewis]

Here ya go. I have only one shot as someone was sitting at the dinette table. The door is toward the rear of the trailer.

Thank you, Mike! Looks roomy. Very nice.

The Escape 23's frame appears to be 5-inch aluminum. It's a nonferrous metal anyway. Its tongue is bolted onto the frame.

Escape provided a pancake breakfast. M&M pancakes with strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream and, of course, real maple syrup. What's not to love.

Really starting to see the evolution of Escapes when looking at a variety of Escapes that were open for viewing. So many different directions with cooking, fridges etc.

One of the prizes at a draw last night was a solar panel. I got a mug. Win some, lose some.

[Ron in BC]

Well, as I said, win some, lose some. Today I scored a Samlex 1500 pure sine wave inverter.

Some good news for folks wanting ETI to do some work on their trailers. One thing that they're considering is doing upgrade retrofitting work. For example, installing the new style acrylic windows in older trailers. I love the new windows and I'll probably make that move.

Did Escape give any time line on when they might offer this service? I also would be interested on getting the acrylic windows installed.

Hey, congrats on that inverter, Ron. Can we have the mug? Just kidding!

Interesting news on ETI considering doing upgrade work. We like those new windows as well. With the frameless windows we have we were planning to do the mod that allows them to open much further, only to find out the vendor changed the “extender arms” and now that mod can’t be done. We can live with the windows as they are, but having them open even more would’ve been better.

Thanks for the Rally Report!

Is this what ETI is using:
