Escape 21 or 19 we would be interested
We would be interested in a Escape 5.0, 21, or 19 to buy in the DFW area, and would consider traveling to other cities within a reasonable distance of Dallas. We have a Casita at the present time, but don't need to sell it to buy another trailer, so we can deal. We decided we would just set back and see if anything comes on the market, would rather the trailer be on the newer side and not an older model.

John, are you going to Matagorda Madness? Excellent opportunity to view some Escapes. I haven't been keeping track of who all is going, but do know Jon Vermilye and Mary & Skip Foster will be there. Wish I was going

He needs to stay away from rallies, once he sees one in person, he will on the phone with ETI, ordering..... we will see if he can hold out.

Good luck in your search, this is how we found our 2014 21' a few months ago, placed and add just like yours but we were only interested in a 21'. I think main thing you need to be sure on is what generation you want if either great I think you will find one sooner than later but if you are only interested in 1st or 2nd generation you might want to add that.
Hope you find what you are looking for.
Safe and fun travels to all,
Steve

YES! Mary & Skip have a 1st gen 21 with manual awning and sliding dual-pane windows. Jon has a 2nd gen with frameless windows and electric awning. Would need to just walk a few feet to compare at Matagorda Madness.

We shopped used via all the typical sites. Forums, commercial RV sales sites, Craigslist. Found a few here and there, but nothing exciting.
Given the very favorable exchange rate, we decided on new with our options rather than used with what someone else liked.
Today you will pay about 76% of the CND price quoted by ETI.

Also the Oliver and Bigfoot are still a possibilities, were not ruling out any at this time. A lot depends on usage of the trailer to move up, so were in that time process now.
