DON'T SAY THAT! That's been one of my fears for a long time. When I first met Reace a few years ago I asked him if ever planned on selling; "nope" was his answer thank goodness.

They have children. Maybe they will want them to carry on the business. It's a great business to be in.

10,000 American baby boomers turning 65 every day--- for the next 15 years. Somewhere in there is a great market for travel trailers.

Good point. In addition, there are some younger people who know about Escapes and are logical buyers for "used" units to keep the pipeline flowing. There's a number of people who don't believe bigger is better too. Plenty of market, good product. I've sold family business produced products and watched the decline in service, especially parts and tech support when they sell out to a big, faceless outfit.

10K boomers turning 65 every day, wow. A ready market. That is their biggest single age group of buyers, I believe, from the small sampling taken on the forum way back. Escape has a real family business going and it could just continue that way for a long time.

There is another big spread in Trailer Life this month. "Leading Lights" is the title and Escape is one featured.

Is this available online, or just in a magazine?

Looks like the article just hit the web. Looks like they wait towards the end of the month of print to post their feature articles. Leading Lights

I saw that article and notably, Casita was not in the line up. Escape has an ad every month in Trailer Life, but they only mention the 17 and 19. Is this an error on their part or aren't the new 21's ready yet? Loren
