19' Escape (or maybe 21') Wanted

[SkunkWhisperer]

Hi! I'm looking for a 19' Escape, hopefully somewhat close to Denver. If you're thinking of selling yours -- or if you know someone who is -- please let me know.



Thank you!
Dan



P.S. I might consider a 21' Escape, too!

Dan,
Per your "P.S.", I think you definitely should view a 19, then a 21. Then evaluate whether the interior arrangement (placement of dinette, kitchen stuff, etc.), heights, aisle widths, amount of storage, etc. would meet your needs and wants.
There is something called Two-foot-itus that is mentioned on this Forum. When infected with this condition, Escape owners get an overwhelming desire to own the next larger size Escape, once they see one at a rally or campground. My wife and I are strong: we bought an Escape 17 five years ago, and are still happy with our size choice, but only because we did an evaluation of our use, and decided that it was (and is) perfect for us.


Edit: Something that might help: Here's our evaluation of our choices, and a 1 year later review, that we did way back when. It might stir up some questions or hint at things not thought of yet, so here it is:

Edit #2: Some of the options and other items in our review are quite different from the current Escape options, ( some things are now even std. features), so a look at the current ETI website is certainly warranted.

Thanks for your response and the link to your thorough and interesting evaluation of your 17A!

Here's my sitch: I'm going to be out of my home on December 18th. Seems like a good time to get a travel trailer that can handle cold weather and look around this beautiful country (and maybe Canada, too).

I'm looking for an Escape 19 for a few reasons: I'll be alone, so won't need a ton of room. My truck's payload and towing capacities would be pushed to their limits with a with a bigger/heavier travel trailer. And let's face it, Escape has designed and built a really nice 19-footer! I've researched the bejeezus out of travel trailers, and I feel pretty strongly that the E19 is the one for me...if I can find one!

If I get two-foot-itis, maybe I'll upgrade some day. Again, thank you for your reply!
