Welcome Jude and Kathleen,
If you contact Escape Trailers they will put you in touch with someone near you to show you their Escape. Once seen, you will be hooked.....

There were two owners. One sold his 21ft to some one out of state . The other Escape owner lives in an area that was flooded. Not a good time to contact him ... We were interested in the Casita but were more attracted to the Escape ...

You have made a wise choice. We started out looking for a Casita or Scamp, but once we found out about the Escapes, we knew that we had found our camper.

Don't forget to check out Oliver fiberglass campers to, they are expenseive but top of the line.
Although Escape is the best bang for the buck, IMO. We pick ours up in 13 days. A beautiful 21 Escape Oliver Travel Trailers | Fiberglass Travel Trailers

Then there was this guy who posted on the Mustang Forum that he's gonna buy a Mustang Cobra. He was told to check out the Ferrari as well.

Don't get it.

Too bad for your Keystone Sprinter. But hopefully an Escape will take its place!
Hope for the rest you are doing okay with the flooding?

Thank you Mary. We were fortunate we only lost our camper . Many of our fellow Louisiana citizens are living in tents, fema trailers or their gutted homes ... We did learn to purchase RV insurance instead of attaching it to our automobile policy ...

Welcome! That may be it for Louisiana but Escape Trailer can tell you some others that should be within range. Sounds like awful flooding though so maybe you have to wait to see something.

Sorry for your loss and hope your home and family came out unscathed.

You will find the Escape is a good choice. We are so happy that we are lucky enough to own one and can't wait to go out again!

Welcome folks
Don't know if it'll help any, but we'll be doing a drive by the last week of December going from Hattiesburg to Lake Charles where we'll stay thru the New Years holiday. Have what is soon to be the Classic style 5.0TA fifth wheel.

At least that's the plan at the moment.

Hi Jude and Kathleen!

Welcome to the forum. I am sorry to hear you lost your rig, but hopefully you will be able to find an Escape model that will allow you to enjoy the camping world again. Hope to meet you one day!

Fred and Dora Morón

Sorry to hear of the loss of your trailer, Jude and Kathleen. All the best in selecting and purchasing a new Escape. You are definitely looking in the right direction.
