Switching from T@B to Escape 2019 17'B.

FélixW · 10-25-2018, 10:43 AM

Greetings from Montreal, Quebec, Canada & Happy to join the ETO forum as a new member. Ordered the 17'B last week and completed the build sheet with the help of Red Dog who I met in NFL in 2017. Thank you Fred & Dora.
Pick up some good ideas when reading the forum last week & love the dynamic exchange among forum members.

Welcome to the forum and I am sure you will get lots of ideas here.
When is your due/delivery date and are you driving west to pick it up?

Completion date is February 15, 2019 but pick up date to be determined in May/June area. Yes, I am driving to BC with my better half to pick up the trailer and enjoying camping and hiking on our way back to Quebec.

Excellent!
Please note on the Escape web page their customer appreciation camp out date at the end of May. This is not something to be missed. I would expect there will be close to 150 Escape trailers this year and could be one of your trip highlights.
It is important that if you want to attend that you book your orientation meeting/pick up date for your trailer ASAP as the week before the event is very popular.
Hope to see you there.

Hello Felix, I'm a former T@da owner and was a member of the T@B/T@da Yahoo forum, now I'm working on my 4th Escape, picking up an E21 next May on the way to Osoyoos for the rally, our 4th attendance.

Hello Jim, looks like I am following on your footsteps. Been travelling in a T@B for the past six years. Towing is so easy and you don't feel the trailer at all. I have been made aware of the Osoyoos event and shall have to consider my trailer pick up agenda and time needed to drive to BC from Quebec in the equation. still remain to figure out.
Thank you for sharing.
Félix.

If you want some guidance, we can "caravan" our way to Chilliwack or on the return trip. We hope to stop at Glacier on way out sans trailer.

Hello Jim,
Thank you for the caravaning proposal; I have yet to sort out my own trip agenda for next year since I am missing some important elements (e.g. family visits in Minnesota and Michigan) in my decision making right now. It will be premature for me to commit to Osoyoos gathering without those elements, not to mention the date available from ETI for orientation and delivery of the trailer and my intention to visit the major cities in Canada on my way to B.C.
If I can make it this year, great, otherwise I will catch up with the next one.
Cheers. Félix.
