Owners map at the factory
Here's some snaps of the map in the factory office showing where all their trailers have gone.
Yes, 2 to China, 2 to England, 1 to Europe and 1 to Thailand! Dang!
13' and 15' trailers - white pin/flag
17' - green
19' - map says pink, but most of the markers were red
21' - yellow
5.0 and 5.0TA - blue
In blowing up my photos, it looks like there's been a trailer sold in every state of the US, except for North Dakota and Hawaii. I wasn't able to tell on the east coast since so many of those states are dinko (compared to out west) that it was hard to see what was what.
Most of the Canadian provinces - didn't see any in NW Territories and Nunavut and I'm not sure where else as it appears I didn't get the entire map of Canada in my shots. Sorry!
Note the huge cluster of them on the West Coast. That's not a surprise. They may need a larger scale map of that area as it's pretty tight in some areas to add more flags.
And I found one for Brainerd (MN), which is where my dad lives! (It's not his, unfortunately.)
I don't know how current the map is. Dirk noticed it had been updated since we were there in September or so.

Interesting. I am hoping to add a yellow flag at Toledo.

Seems like the midsection, Oklahoma, Nebraska, South and North Dakotas are void.....

Part of it is the angle of the photo and the flash being used, so some of those flags are harder to see. There weren't any in ND, but there were in the other states, from what I recall. I was surprised there weren't any owners in ND with oil boom and housing shortage they were having (heck if I know how it is now). However, if any Escapes made it to the oil fields, I'm sure the owners started off elsewhere so the flags would be in another state.

There appears to be a yellow flag in South Dakota. I know there is one in Omaha, not Council Bluffs - we stopped at CB in a snowstorm today for lunch, crazy towing trailer through Iowa in the snow, saw a few accidents. There is an Escape almost in North Dakota, we live only a couple of miles from there. Ours is not on the map since it's second hand.
Fun time yesterday, went through US customs twice, first time agent asked me to pull forward to read license plate, she couldn't see it, asked me to get out and read it to her, went around to the back of trailer and NO PLATE. Think someone broke of the plastic bracket to steal the plate which would have easily snapped in our recent cold weather. So, back into Canada, traced our route back home, checked driveway, no plate so had to go ten minutes north to get replacement plate, back to the border (now with a line up) and through customs again.

I had a plate split and fly away somewhere in Indiana. Got a new plate, caught it when one corner was cracked out. Took it off for the duration of the trip. Back home, I got a third plate and also new plates for the Accord at the same time. I put my old plates back to back and the new one showing so had a triple thickness. Bolts on all four corners. No more problems.

The yellow flags are kind of hard to spot. Saw ours though. One of the gals handed it to me and said to put it where it belongs. We also gave Reace a Kansas flag for their wall. Loren
