We have an E21 made in Feb 2021. The GAWR is 1588 kg on the sticker and the axel stickers show 3,500 lb. capacity. It's a good thing, too, since when we are fully loaded for travel with a full...

We have the taller TrailerAid, and fortunately have not used it for a flat yet. But it does work really well for tipping the trailer a bit when we dump the tanks. Really helps get the gray tank...

The Fastway E2 WD and anti-sway hitch that we purchased from Escape (before they raised the price) has worked well for us. The hitch head is heavy. Others who have the Andersen hitch which used to...

Just make sure you wash the trailer before putting on the cover. You don't want to trap abrasive dirt between the cover and the gel coat.

Not a good sign for the RV industry. If an honorable company had been the acquirer it would be another thing.

I'm guessing that you have the high-lift axel on your 21C. When we received ours we had Escape install the E2 hitch. The trailer was also nose down, and required raising the ball by two holes in...

21C - Relevance of 5,000 lb. GVWR

The 21C, 21NE and 19 are all rated as 5,000 GVWR. On the face of it, that seems odd, but when we were ordering our trailer, I didn’t give it much thought since the dry weight of the 21C was listed...

So far we are happy with the Houghton 9.5K. It seems to be about as quiet as can be expected from a non-ducted AC that is right over your head (I'm pretty noise sensitive). We haven't had it in...

No, not an option through Escape. There were supply issues with the Coleman when our trailer was being built and the Dometic is way too loud, so we opted to pass on the AC. Houghton ACs can be...
