You are welcome. We'd love to spare others from buying the wrong width.

Get a load of the awful shape our original was in. We deserve a prize, I think.68353

I have the same thought...Escape is ordering custom size awnings. I also suspect that the other people in this thread may have received too-big replacement awnings made to the same 91" standard that...

It's also on the bright side that we have two ladders and a son who is 6'-6". During the installation, the three of us were all laughing about how we could have made our own How-To video, with the...

To update our decision regarding a replacement awning, we did end up ordering from Tough Top. It arrived quickly, and we installed it two days ago, only to find out that it was too long in the...

Thanks to all who responded to our question about replacement awnings. We checked out all your suggestions. Right now we are leaning toward Tough Top. We like the fact that it is single ply (as...

Some reviewers say other awnings, such as Tough Top, may be better quality for less money than OEM. Tough Top appears to be a single layer, not laminated, and delamination has been one of the...

Reviews of Replacement Awning Fabric

We will be replacing the awning fabric on our 2012 Escape 19. Having done quite a bit of on-line research, we think the Tough Top fabric looks like a good choice. Does anyone have an opinion about...

Use Wood for Changing a Tire

We use various combinations of 3/4" wood planks for leveling. Stacking four or five of these, and pulling the camper on top of them, lifts the other tire off of the ground for removal. We just had...

Just to add to the discussion, earlier this year the spring inside our original refrigerator latch broke while parked in our driveway, presumably due to age. We ordered an entirely new, identical...

Hi fellow Omahans,



We are certainly sorry about the ripple issues in your unit, and think that this is NOT a minor imperfection. Please continue to post the steps you take and report whether...

We speculate that a bungee might not really keep the refrigerator closed at all times. By "closed" we mean that the refrigerator door stays continuously tight against the seal. If the latch gives...

Keeping the refrigerator closed during travel

In our many miles of Escape travel, the refrigerator door has popped open on the road a few times. But we are trying a minimalist solution to prevent it from happening ever again. We want no strap or...

I agree. We originally shopped for a bungee but fortunately came away empty-handed, and that led to my elastic hair band solution. Probably most people wouldn't mind the bungee look, but we are...

Easy Paper Towel Holder

We are definite minimalists and still won't add screws or other permanent attachments to our 2012 Escape 19. Today I used two small Command hooks, two small plastic rings from my sewing box, and an...
