Escape put out a new You Tube video today for a 19 "Inventory Trailer". Samuel was quick to point out it is a trailer someone ordered, but was unable to get. So, there may be some people changing their minds??

Or the buyer's financing / financial / or life-situation fell apart (unfortunately those things do happen ).

E-mails from Escape offering another round of Guaranteed Completion Date revisions to folks with a trailer on order for 2022 and 2023 have gone out. We placed our deposit in March of this year, and our original GCD was March of 2023(!). The first revision moved us up to September 2022. This round now has us slated for May 2022. That’s a good timeframe for us. It will be interesting to see what the next offer might be, but we might just stick with this one.

We also placed ours in March (end of the month though) and had a may 31st 2023 original GCD. That was moved into 11/15/2022 during first revision and new date from email we just received is now 7/4/2022.

Hoping to eventually be pulled in as early in 2022 as possible so we can start camping in March. But will take our new date for sure.

Our 5.0 completion was just moved up to June of 2023, so very happy about that. If they do more bumps, we'd hope for mid to late 2022, ideally, but I doubt it will move up that far. What's worse is if we keep accepting earlier dates and end up having to pick it up in the dead of winter...

[MichaelS78]

Just wanted to add that ETI is requiring people to respond by tomorrow (Thursday July 29th) which is fast imo. I wouldn't want to be camping outside range of internet and miss that email...

[Craiger]

Thank you escape!!! My guaranteed date was March 8, 2023 I just received an email and answered it in the affirmative that I would accept a date of September 14, 2022. All of my affirmations work for a December date including that I would accept December 25 if necessary. guess what they did even better than that. Now I am solidly into 2022 pricing I've already been cleared for purchase from the loan company in Georgia or wherever it is. I am a happy camper. And my grandkids are even happier

My original June 2, 2023 is now November 28, 2022.

Right smack dabb in the middle of the snowy mountain season. Need to do a little thinking on this one.

Do you think they might pull in it even more as time goes on? Maybe in a little warmer month?

I'm content with my May, 2022 date to attend Osoyoos after pickup if there is an Escape Rally next year.....I'm hoping there is!

While it isn’t a certainty - especially in these crazy times - in at least one video Karl and Samuel implied they expect there could be several revisions before they pin down the full production schedule. It’s purely a guess, but looks like there’s a pretty good chance the dates will move again.

Thanks for the encouraging words.

Maybe they'll pull it into the current 2022 pricing timeframe. Fingers Crossed!

Our "19" build date moved from May 23rd 2023 to Nov 17th 2022. Took it in a heartbeat despite the concerns that Willy B has and that it's extremely difficult for me to take vacation time in Nov/Dec. Hope to get moved up further but will take it even if it means having ETI store it for a few months.

They will certainly make more GCD rev's as more people drop off the waiting list for one reason or another.

However the 5.0's are moving forward at a much slower rate than the other trailers. A late 2022 should be in the cards for your GCD for sure. I placed my 5.0 deposit at the end of March and was initially given 5/23 GCD, the CDR1 moved us to 11/8/22 and this round CDR2 only moved us to 9/28/22. So only about 5 weeks movement this time. I expect to wind up somewhere in the summer of 2022 at the present pace. With Spring 2022 a remote possibility.

The big question is how much of an improvement to the production speed will ETI implement for the 5.0. If they pick up the pace by 10 - 20% a big difference will result out on your end of the list...

Check into the delivery location at KC, just a few hundred or so dollars difference as opposed to driving almost to Canada.

Highway 70 is a easy flat drive back from there, unless a big storm is hitting chances are it’ll be a 45 degree day.

I’ll be picking mine up this fall and myself I’d rather park it out in the backyard and do some preparations before I get out of here before the winter.

Our youngest lives in Cheyenne and we've talked about having it shipped there.

Just got an email moving my GCD to 10-20-22!!!!

[AuthorSP]

Ours just moved up from June to May 2023!
We're getting close to a window where our next jump would have to be into the fall of 2022 if were going to be able to pick it up earlier. Winter pickups are tough in Maine.

[Craiger]

Open my email this morning and discovered Karl it said another guaranteed update request. I have on order a E 19 I accepted the deal and we moved up 34 days to August 11, 2022. I figured we'd had a few more updates but I didn't expect it to be this soon. There must be a lot of adjustment occurring on the production schedule. The question I have is is it across the board or is it only for selected models. Your input would be greatly appreciated on that question.

If asking because you are considering a model change yourself (BTDT, after deposit I briefly flirted with changing from my initially ordered 5.0 choice to a 21C), I'd urge you to have a direct conversation with your ETI sales contact to get assured correct info pertinent to your case.

If just curious to read forum speculation which may or may not reflect meaningful reality for you, please pardon my interruption and carry on ....
