21' Escape - Coming Soon - Photo mock up and floorplan

I gave up waiting for the lottery winnings and just came to the realization that I must work and pay for it the old fashioned way

Will the 21' Escape have a wet bath ??

Thanks

If you are looking at loaded weight, you will be hard pressed to keep a 21' under 3000 lbs. My 17B's dry weight is listed at 2100 lbs, however loaded for a trip it weighed in at 3100 lbs.

Reace,
I like the proposed layout of the 21. The living is all together, rather than separated by the door. Very nice.

[Arathar]

I found the 21 proposed plan interesting.

I prefer a rear bed. I like having the bed away from the door so you aren't going past it every time you enter or exit. Might be my imagination, but I think it is cleaner that way.

My 23' Class C had a rear notched bed next to the bath. I liked that arrangement although my feet hung out over the corner. Still, that mattress was a Sealy and more comfortable than my bed at home.

I'm probably not a prospective customer for the 21. I'm happy with the 19 and if I ever trade it will likely be to go smaller.

Just my $0.02,

I would preferr a stand alone shower and separate bathroom.

The big problem with that Ken, is the amount of valuable space it would take up in the trailer., adding more wall too Most like or prefer the wet bath as it is a fairly small package, but yet just as effective. The only downside is you have to wipe down the toilet if you want it dry to used it. As we rarely use the shower, for us this is the best possible way to do the bath.

[dave macrae]

I would have to say that the wet bath wasthe only real compromise with the 19Ft for us, I was originally looking @ the 21RB bigfoot but I have to say that this was the only pro in the list versus the 19ft escape. In life you can't have your cake and eat it too. We have just found that we organise shower time a lot more now, we will just have back to back showers and then wipe the bathroom dry afterwards. Its really not that bad once you get the hang of it.

[gbaglo]

Get yourself a small squeegee to quickly take care of most of the wipe down.

[Jim Bennett]

We use a chamois. Quick and easy.

[gbaglo]

Squeegee, then chamois.

Or use a shower curtain that hangs from the back wall and up over the toilet. Then there's a smaller area to dry. Unless you have to sit on the toilet to shower...

[hippo]

My 21ft the shower and toilet are in their own areas. It is rear bed and bath. In place of the dinette up front we have a jackknife sofa which is also a bed. Reace and Tammy looked over our trailer with a tape measure when we were at Bandon. Some of their planning comes from a Bigfoot.

[Rosalyn]

We would also like a twin option. He always is hot while I am always freezing. Any chance a twin option will ever evolve?

[Jim Bennett]

I think you would need to contact Escape to answer that one. We are quite similar heat wise, but in the trailer, like at home, I just hang as much of my body out from under the sheets as I need to keep cool. My wife likes to borrow a bit of my heat now and then as well.

Very nice! I'm sure this model will sell very well. Personally I would like to see a 21' Fifth Wheel with a tandem axle.

I wonder how the front window will be utilized? Any window centered will have to impact the bath which now has the toilet against the front wall?

I think that is a very good question. When we were ordering our 19 I was wishing the plan view drawings on the Escape website would show the windows. The sketches of all the models are just a little too crude for my taste, but then I'm a former architect and wanted to understand the details. --Liz

I love the layout, although it may require an upgrade to a larger truck, which I was trying to avoid. Do you know if they are going to make the 21' in a fifth wheel?

Thanks,
Mike
