Not with my August delivery.

FYI if you have a Harbor Freight nearby, these work in many 'handy drivers' that use hex-shank bits. Yes, both #1 and #2 size are used in the Escape.

Have Fun!

Lots of good suggestions here, I'll chime in on the above:

I'm 900 miles Chilliwack to home and ignored checking trailer lug nuts.
I checked them after the journey, they were very loose. Not hand loose, but close enough that it seemed prudent to lift the tires off the ground before snugging them down.
Definitely something to pay attention to.

Read somewhere on this forum that they were included in the past, but I know times have changed and new management. We did not get one with our trailer. Guess we'll have to add it to our shopping list.
You might but do not count on it. We checked before pickup if it is included and were assured it was a complimentary gift. However, there was none in our camper - and we made trip to a hardware store to buy a multi-screwdriver and a good quality pressure reducer valve as the one we bought from Escape was garbage.

It was/is our first camper, so we bought a boatload of items for it. I have one or two threads in March/April/May 2021 timeframe which might be worth a look if you are trying to create a list.

Just returned from Lowes with a screwdriver with lots of bits, including the Robertson ones. I will check out your list. Amazon has been stopping by our house every day since we picked up on September 13th! We are first timers as well.
