A little advice....

I think the color of the blinds is set as the darker ones now. When we were getting our trailer built, the darker ones were being installed. I requested the lighter ones and they still had stock so Tammy changed them. While the darker ones probably block the light out better, I felt they made the interior feel visually smaller when closed whereas the lighter ones blend nicely with the wall color, visually enlarging the space. However that's a decorator's reasoning so lighter colored blinds were my personal choice.

I just put four of those in various cabinets in the trailer and they are great! No tell about their longevity, but they come on when the doors are opened and go out a minute after motion has ceased.

I haven't tried one in the fridge yet, but that's next on the list.

How do you know it went out when the door closed?

I just open the door REEEEAAAAL fast to see if it's gone out.

Actually, there's a lot of light leakage around the doors.

I have made some revisions to my initial build out and added the Coleman Polar Cub 9200 btu with heat strip, bike rack, reverse sink/stove and delete fan hood since the stove is near the door and fantastic o/h fan plus my kitchen window opens. I added another 12v in the bedroom with the prop up table for night time usage. I opted out of the front/read dinettes because I wanted the slide table in front and a thicker mattress in rear, so the front/rear are now standard stock. In addition I ordered the bunk cot option for my grandkids and I felt the stock setup was better for that. I'm glad to see Escape is using the Atwood 8012 furnace, it is a very efficient low draw unit.
Slate grey is the outside graphics since both tows are grey or silver. Ordered extra exterior light on front to be wired with the other 2 side lights. Two Escape coffee mugs will be inside.
I may have found a co/driver but he is only available after the 16th, so the plan is to leave early the 17th and drive non stop to billings, MT, stop for night 18th. Leave thurs early and arrive at Escape late Thurs night. Pick up trailer Friday and orientation in am and leave by noon and head back to Butte, Mt that night. Drive the Beartooth on Saturday and head home. Expect to arrive Wed. with 3x 10 hour days and camping at night.
Hopefully, now with a passport I'll be attending some of the Canadian rally's in the future.

The source for the long LED Strip is in this post: http://escapeforum.org/index.php?topic=1779.0. Further down the thread is where I purchased the switches. As to the magnetic switch for the refrigerator light - I bought a bunch of them on eBay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Set-Door-O...t_1455wt_1165. Be sure they are Normally Open switches, that is off when next to the magnet.

I would recommend at least an overnight stay near the Escape factory to try things out and see if there are any minor "fixits". If there are they can be dealt with readily and the Escape people do their utmost to see that you are satisfied.

With that big list you should have ordered the 19.6ft Escape. The extra tail lights on each side of the rear window was my idea. You will really your Escape.
