Hello! My wife and I will be owners of a new Escape 19 about this time next year and we're really excited. We just sold a 27' Jayco that we purchased new in 2016. Our plan is to downsize to an Escape 19 so we can travel to Texas to see our kids that have since moved there. We wanted something more compact and easier to pull and our new Escape will be the perfect home away from home! Looking forward to hearing your experiences and ideas to make our trailer all the better!

Wow, Jim! 5th Escape!? How recent was your last one? Since the company sold and Covid or before? Just curious as to and quality concerns since then...

Thank you for the welcome!

Welcome to the fiberglass cult from another Escape owner in Hillsboro, Oregon. Getting to be quite a few Escapes here; starting to outnumber the Casitas at the Northern Oregon Gatherings (NOGs.) There's one at the end of Sept at South Beach State Park https://www.casitaforum.com/invboard...comment-285009

Thanks Charlie. We'd love to join you but won't actually have our trailer until fall of next year. We can hardly wait!

Welcome sir. I am new to the forum too. I'm in Texas. Where are the kiddos? Just curious when did you make your deposit? Trying to gauge the timing here. About to put a deposit on a 5.0 and they told me 09-2023.

Hello Txmoto, kiddos are in Dallas area and others in Austin area. We put our deposit on a 19 about the end of June. Our original date was May of ‘23. Since then we’ve been bumped up twice. Now we’re October of ‘22. Hoping for sooner but who knows! I hear the 5.0’s are on a completely different build schedule than the rest. All the best to you!
