Hello, I just placed a deposit for an Escape 19. My build date is March 2022 (phew!). So I guess the good news is we have plenty of time to figure out all of our options.
A little background, we spent the last dozen years traveling and camping in a three bunk hybrid with our four kids. Now with two grown and gone and another getting close, the Escape is looking like our empty nest camper for the two of us. We learned a lot about stick built campers in that dozen years and we don't want another.
We plan to camp in unimproved sites (no hookups) and I have a lot to figure out on the solar and battery side. Our tow vehicle will probably be a M-B GLE as long as I keep working for Daimler, and I'll have to buy something permanent once I retire.
When we're not traveling in an RV, we like to backcountry paddle camp, living from our canoe or kayaks on the great lakes or along rivers. Our trips tend to be a mix of travel (in an RV) and roughing it (living out of boats for 1-2 weeks).
This looks like a great community. I'll probably start making a working draft of our build options and then refine it from there. For sure I'll need help with the color palette, my wife and I both have no taste.
