Escape Trailer Industries website update
I just noticed today that a new appearance has been applied to the Escape web site.
As far as I can tell, the content is the same (although I haven't compared spec values)... with one significant exception: there is now an online estimate request form on each model's page. It allows the prospective customer to check off desired options (from the standard list) and shows the total price, then sends it to ETI. It looks like this essentially generates the first draft build sheet.

Appears to be a work in progress.

Yes. It sure is pretty cool.
Would have loved to see more pictures though. The 19's bathroom doesn't show, for instance. But overall it's quite the upgrade from the old version.

I don't think that site is supposed to be up.
Looks like new design, but lots yet to do on content.

I think I have ESP. Last week I looked at the website and thought that it was definitely time for an upgrade.

Interesting to see the production schedule. The expanded capacity has brought the lead time in a few months. Sales must still be doing quite well.
Next Available Completion Dates:
Escape 17’ – June 11, 2018 OR June 28, 2018
Escape 19’ – June 8, 2018 OR June 26, 2018
Escape 21’ – June 21, 2018
Escape 5.0 TA – May 17, 2018 OR June 6, 2018

The notice in the screen capture in Post #2 is about making reservations for the 2016 rally...a bit dated.

The home page pic showing the 21' is actually a 19' trailer.

I suspect that ETI's web person accidentally let a work in progress vesion go live.

Either they forgot the door or the picture is a mirror image on the 5.0

Finally!
Looks way better than before (minus the mistakes). 
I like how many of the options now have photos. That sure would have been nice when we were trying to figure out what all we wanted.

And I was always hoping that the new site would change plural noun's into just nouns.

As the administrator of my high school class website, I well know that well-founded fear of my finger hovering over the "Publish" icon only to be followed shortly by maybe a curse word or two.

There is at least one famous example of super secret Apple product releases being exposed early by someone working on the website. Given Steve Job's temper, I imagine those folks were looking for work elsewhere....

The model in that photo (Post#2) appears to be made for the British market, where they drive on the opposite side of the road, so the entry door needs to be on the opposite side of the trailer!
