Maybe it's just me, but that's about 23' further from bed to bath than I want to trek in the middle of the night. In our "classic" 21, that ritual is just two steps.

Hmmm. Reminds me of an old grade school library book:
23 feet to the outhouse!

Since Northern Lite and Escape are owned by the same parent company, I doubt that it will be competition for the Escape 23. Seems to me to be aimed more at the Airstream luxury crowd, who may consider Escapes to “rustic”.

The same comment could be made about most SUVs and pickup trucks. In fact, lower profile tires (within reason) improve stability for any of these vehicles.

Hmmm. Limited ground clearance? Are those fender skirts? Futuristic profile? A 1950's depiction of a "dream trailer"? The "Aeroliner"?

at the expense of ride quality, and increased possibility of pinch flats and bent rims if you hit a pothole or drive on a dirt road.
my older F250 rides on /75 ratio tires and is perfectly stable.

I guess I know what 'Ten Forward" is now. I almost asked several times.

Oh, it's much more than just the 10th 5.0TA build

A quick question: Does one piece molded body really mean one piece? It seems to have a belly band in the picture and I’m trying to imagine this being a solid build all around. What do you think?
By the way, our Silver Cloud would still retain its title as “largest molded FG” made at 28+ feet!

I thought that was the Stiletto 5th wheel, 38 feet by LaMarr Motor Coach. But it is a Unicorn. This is from a 2016 Trailerlife Mag.

the hull is made from two molded pieces, the top and the buttom, joined at the seam in the middle. they are fibreglassed together, the belly band on an Escape is just to hide the joint.

I have a 17B....probably would have gotten a 15 if they were still being made in2017...maybe even a 13. While I'd be happy for a 4 season trailer, I'm so impressed by all that has been included in my 17B, and certainly do to want even bigger.

John, I was referring to the Boreal ad, saying “one piece molded body, no seams.” I was asking whether it really was just one big piece.
Donna, I guess our claim to fame is the largest molded FG bumper-pull travel trailer!
