Congrats, Kate. Somehow I was pretty sure this move would be made.

What is the completion date on it right now?

Yes I have really enjoyed my 17 it's a great trailer. I had never camped much before with out horses I wasn't sure if I would like it but now I do and am ready to move to a bigger trailer as I move towards retirement and longer trips.

Hi Donna,

I hope to stop at the Fall NOG in my new 5.0 TA on my way home to Texas. As with every other Escape owner, I'd be delighted to show it to you.

Great! If you make it, that would be five 5.0TAs coming... not counting Kate's. And a total of 20 Escapes are signed up. Neato!

We're going to have so much fun at Fall NOG, all these great Escapes to look at, compare mods and the terrific people!

There will be a new 5.0TA at the Spring NOG. I'll be following it down from here to there, stopping for people and doggie piddle breaks along the way. (not my doggie) So, if anyone sees two Escape trailers together headed south on April 27th, you'll know why.

Oh 'el yeah. Reservations opened in January. I posted on January 5th. All electric and water sites at Silver Falls are now reserved. We do have all-molded-towable owners that can "dry" camp and are now making reservations for Tent sites. Make a reservation if that works for you!

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately we are not long-range planners. This year our plans only go as far as May. We are waiting (and hoping) that our Escape completion date gets moved up. I think we will end up only attending rallies which have unlimited attendees such as Bluebonnet in Texas and Quartzsite.
