Thanks Forum for Helping with Build 5.0TA

We have found the forum extremely helpful in deciding what we wanted and didn't want for our 5.0TA.
Reading through was fun and interesting and we thank everyone who posted add on and reasons why!!
Looking forward to picking up our trailer in March, 2016.
Happy Holidays!

Oh the wait, the wait. The last month or so go by much quicker as you prepare to take delivery. Be prepared to turn heads as you travel and camp. Our new Escape 21 had quite a few people looking at it, both outside and in. Welcome to the club. BTW, we just love your area, Sechelt. Family and friends living there enjoy the slower pace of life from the mainland.

I think a lot of us new trailer owners have to give the credit where it is due. We would have never gotten our trailer set up so good without all of the input from this forum. It is all of the options that they will do without them being listed on the option sheet that make it so confusing. Loren

Not only does this forum help with the build sheet, but also with all the "stuff" you need when buying your first trailer. I constantly kept adding things to my Amazon wish list so I would remember what I might need.

And you end up buying a lot more "stuff" than you planned on. Loren

All-molded-towable owners are the BEST! Several of us put down a deposit for the 5.0TA when it was just a twinkle in Reace's eye and an interior layout drawn on a cocktail napkin

I know I'm indebted to a number of the forum members for helping me make decisions that made Ten Forward the trailer I've wanted for a very long time. NIRVANA.

Best of luck, enjoy every trip and make a ton of terrific memories...

That's why I'm buying some stuff now, so it won't be quite so much and quite so much money spent at one time. I just set aside a shelving unit in the attic for trailer stuff.
