Hi Colm - Just saw your message! Unfortunately, we just delivered our 19' to its new owner and returned from our trip last night (and they're in Colorado). Otherwise, we would have loved to have you stop by. I would suggest that you contact Bob McCampbell (SantaCruzer) as they have a 19' and are here in our area. I don't have his email, but he's on the forum. Bob has a 2014 Escape so you'll get an idea as to what the 'classic' looks like and it's only slightly different than the brand new 19'ers. And in case you're wondering, we sold our 19' as we have a new 21' on order. If you're thinking of 'full timing' in an Escape, I would strongly suggest that you look at the 21' as well. There were definitely things on our "classic 19' " that I loved (the awning, the screen room) and they are the things I'm really going to miss on the new one; however, the layout of the 19' became awkward for us (happens when you get older) and we decided that the 21' had a better layout and, surprisingly, the little extra room (2' longer, 4" wider) makes a big difference. If you have any questions on the 19', please don't hesitate to contact us but I really think Bob is going to steer you right (he showed us his 17' when we were looking and then, after we bought ours, he decided he really liked the 19' better .... ).

Hi CADreaming, my name is Colm Humphreys and my girlfriend and I are looking into escape 19s to full time out of starting late this year. I have been doing a lot of research on them but still have not had a chance to see one in person. Sam and I will be in the Bay Area for the next two weeks and were curious whether you would be amenable to us stopping to take a look at yours. Feel free to call me at 609-802-5756 if you would like to talk about this in person

CADreamin, I'm curious about the winegard Antenna you mentioned in your post. Which one did you get and how is it mounted. I've never heard of them but would be interested based on what I saw on their website.
