New member, 5.0 TA en route

Hello friends -

We are looking forward to delivery of our 5.0 here in Asheville,NC on August 19th. We very much appreciate the practical advice, tips, and friendly pointers we have been picking up from the community. Clearly a lot of great people! This is our first travel trailer, so we have a healthy mix of excitement and anxiety as we get truck configured and get our heads around all of the ins and outs of pulling and enjoying a trailer. Look forward to joining the active community soon. Best, Jesse and Marga

New Florida Escape 5.0 Owner

Saw one at the an Egg Rally in January. I knew that was the camper that I wanted to use to travel the country when I retire. I received it about a month ago and will be leaving this Thursday for an 18 day vacation through Georgia, Tenn, NC and SC. I can't imagine a better camper to do this with!! My previous and first camper was a Casita Sprit Deluxe.
