Hello from a Newbie!

We made our deposit yesterday on a 21' and now the waiting begins! So many choices and so many things to think about. We are graduating from tent camping into the world of a travel trailer and we are so happy we decided on an Escape!
The forums are great, we've already read great advice and look forward to more!

Hi Patricia and welcome aboard. I have been watching the production schedule and see they are over a year out now, but get busy and start figuring it out as that year will fly by. We ordered a year ago and are leaving in three weeks. I think our trailer will be finished by the end of next week. There are a lot of decisions to be made and changes are always in the works and you hope you don't make to many mistakes. Enjoy. Loren

Hmmm. That wasn't what you were saying a couple of months ago Ellen.

Kind of like having a baby, I guess!!! Soon forget about how painful it was!

BUT, cancellations do happen at ETI. We thought we had 4 months to submit a build sheet when we were offered a cancelled production slot if we could get a built sheet submitted in 2 weeks! 2 VERY crazy weeks followed..........

Hi Patricia! I notice you're from Graham Washington. I spent MANY Labor Day weekends at the fairgrounds for the Unfinished Nationals, camping out in the "field," in an all-molded-towable.

Six degrees of separation...
