These are good instructions from gocamp. Be patient with your button pressing. Make sure you let each action cycle before pressing next button.

Hi: bigalaska... We have the manual thermostat and the on/off tab is very finicky. When you think it's turned on it really isn't. Same thing with off. The furnace ran a whole tank of propane out!!! I learn the expensive way.  Alf

It is hard to believe that ETI is still using the mechanical heating thermostat. Might I suggest something digital like this. Works great.

I agree. Many of us switched to that or a White Rogers because the mechanical one was pretty poor.

Escapees have a beginner forum (no membership required)
Beginning RVing - Escapees Discussion Forum
Honestly, youtube is a great resource (once you find an intelligent vid) if you know what search terms you are looking for (ie lighting rv oven or backing up trailer).

I started this thread back in 2014 called 'towing tips for beginners or how to avoid towing horror stories. People shared towing mistakes. It was a great learning experience for me back then when I was a newbie, now I never do anything stupid

Hi Linda, All these resources are great but not that same as hands on. We live an hour away from you in Bremerton and would be happy to supplement your video / forum education with in person walk through of our '19. There are also others in PT with Escapes as well. The ETI front office can connect you.

Check you tube for videos. Plus the ETI orientation video is good to watch for beginners and anyone wanting to refresh their memory!

Hello All, Can you tell me how you like the storage box that is now made to go between the propane tanks and the actual trailer? (I have a 2010 17'). Did you have to pick it up or is it able to be sent?
