2017 Escape 19 -reduced to $30,000 USD. sale pending 7/16

Upsized (not sure it's entirely an upgrade) to a Bigfoot 25RQ and selling my Escape 19.


It's had significant electrical upgrades for extended boondocking with remote work and some battery-powered air conditioner:
(also good for winter/shoulder camping and driveway-docking)
360W solar (2x180W)
Victron MPPT solar controller
Victron Multiplus 3000W hybrid Inverter/charger
5x100Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries

Build sheet options:
6CF fridge w/ fridge fan
2-way water heater
foot flush toilet
winterizing valve
exterior shower on passenger side
2 extra 12V/USB outlets
Progressive EMS surge protector
Removable power cord
air conditioner
Backup camera
Extra insulation
Dual-pane frameless windows
Spray insulation underneath
Drawer under wardrobe closet
Exterior propane quick-connect
Storage box
Equalizer hitch w/ swaybar

Swapped fridge door facade for galvanized steel so fridge magnets work, but I believe I have the original in storage if preferred.

Located in the SF Bay Area (trailer is stored in Antioch, I'm in Redwood City)

Hello,

I'm interested in your trailer. Cash buyer from Placerville CA. What % is the tongue weight of the gross trailer weight and where did you locate all 5 battery's.

Thanks Kirk 530 626-1031

Not sure on tongue weight - I haven't measured. Overall probably slightly higher than stock battery location. More total weight, but closer to the axles. Batteries are located in the passenger-side dinette bench.

Solar and electrical install were done by Quality RV Solar (one of AMSolar's suggested installers). I picked most of the components, but ran out of free time and had the install done professionally instead of DIY.

In terms of short on power boondocking.. it depends. There's always ways to use more power. Air conditioner would empty them out in a few hours, and you'd get maybe 1-2 hours of AC time refilled per day from the solar. Or it'll keep up with running the fridge on DC power a lot of the day, but not 24/7. The blower fan and tank heater pads did drain it in the winter one time, but mostly because I'd gotten busy and didn't clear the ice and snow off the roof when it was hitting single digits overnight. Under "normal" camping use (double digit Fahrenheit temperatures, cleared panels, mostly running lights and pump) it'll easily keep up indefinitely.

I carried around a 2000W Honda generator that worked really well with the hybrid inverter (no problem running the AC, and 120A charge rate keeps runtime down), but I ended up only using it twice in a year. Both for air conditioner.

The Bigfoot is nice, but not as much nicer as I expected given the price. The Escape is definitely a better value. The Bigfoot's built heavier-duty overall and with a lot more space and features, but less attention to detail and more construction problems. The Escape's had minor problems, but nothing I'd consider a blatant construction or design error, except maybe the stair bolts vibrating loose the first trip. The Bigfoot had several (wire nut with a wire that wasn't in or making contact, screen door assembly wrong/misaligned, poor attachment job on one drawer rail, weird gap in cabinet floor). Not that overall construction quality is bad, but little details and QA can be hit-or-miss.

It's also better insulated than the Escape, but not by nearly as much in practice as it is on paper. Theoretically the 25RQ should take about half as much power to heat as an Escape 19 just based on R-value, but I've found it takes a comparable amount. That's still better, in that it has way more surface area but doesn't take more heat. The skylights and big windows leak a lot of heat, as does the underbody area (which is a bit under-insulated IMO). It's definitely more comfortable overall in very cold weather since the walls don't get as cold, and it has fewer places prone to condensation buildup.

The 25RQ specifically has much, much more room than the E19. The extra width makes a big difference. We were crammed into the 19 and had to basically move things around constantly to make room to do anything. The 25RQ has storage space to spare and there's always some counter or floor space that can be used. The front storage is also absolutely massive.

On the other hand, you do pay for that extra size in towing. It's way less easy to tow and gas mileage is more like 11-12MPG rather than 14-16MPG. It needs either a 3/4-ton truck or the right half-ton compared to the E19 just needing a 3-row SUV. It's also just a fair bit harder to squeeze around corners or through small gaps - you have to swing wider and do more to take into account where the tail will go.

Interested - please contact me

Hi, would you be able to get an updated tongue weight and trailer weight with the added batteries. I don't have the biggest of TVs. If you would do that I'd be on the road to pick it up - cash. Thanks. Matt (pointerfan@yahoo.com)

I have a pending sale as of last night, but if that falls through I can try to get it weighed.

Sale still pending - potential buyer is remote, so actually closing will take a while, but it's likely sold.

Trailer is sold (assuming payment clears, but that looks very likely)
