Escape 19 on order
Hi folks. Not great using forums, but I guess this is how you start. Our build sheet has been set since early April. Completion date is July 31/Aug 1. I struggled to find information on getting the best exchange rate (sorry folks, I am not an international economist, just trying to make my retirement dollars stretch as far as possible). I learned a good bit, and had a successful experience using an intermediate company for the wire transfer(s) to purchase the trailer. I don't know if/where it is appropriate to name the company, but I will be happy to share what I have learned.
Other than that, I am retired, have owned a Snoozy since 2012 (recently sold to a wonderful lady in Pennsylvania), love hiking and playing with remote control toys, with and without my awesome grandchildren. My wife loves to camper travel with me, since I try to treat her like the queen she is. I look forward to meeting many of you out there. Kind regards - Jake

Thank you Marry. I will tent camp, travel to the northwest (US  with my son-in-law, then fly the wife out to Seattle. After getting the Escape we will look up some relatives, then make our way back to SC, probably by way of Glacier/Waterton. Hope to meet you one day.

Make sure to put up pictures of the build, once in production! That way I know what to look for on the road
