We also owned a Casita for ten years and the logical progression was to an Escape. Bought an 2016 Escape 5.0 and have twin beds in it. Makes it easier to get out of bed in my opinion!

Yes it is. I use the 1 up, 2 bike rack on my 2016 5.0 and it goes all the way in the receiver. I also use the same rack for my 2013 civic with a 2" receiver !
Nice bike rack in all sense.

Thank you.
ETI states 58" is the max. Looking for forum input on new trucks that have 59" rail height. Has anyone put a 1" shim under the bed rails to gain that inch? Would it even work?

Hello. Count and time the beeps. Your manual will tell you the problem. My beeping refrigerator still was cold but the light inside was staying on.
