You didn't say what the prices were, but I'm guessing (looking at RVtrader) that a new Northern Lite 9.6 would be maybe $60k, and a new Chevy 3500 about the same, so that's $120k. However, you could...

There appear to be more used Escapes around now than last winter. ETI's Pre-Owned page has had six or so every week for a while now.

Nice. But my E21C layout is better. And I could buy four of them for the price of one Bruder 8.

But why not go all out and get self-propelled?

FWIW, I have a Casita brochure from 2016. Base price of their Spirit Deluxe model was $20,978. Current base SD base price is $32,694. That's a 56% increase. Yes, that's over six years, but in...

I don't know how much profit Escape makes on a given unit, but given the astounding escalation of material costs in the past year, I'd be surprised if it were any more than earlier, and given the...

'Inventory' trailers are a lottery crapshoot for customers with existing deposits.

But there are several 'Pre-owned' trailers there, including the 2012 E19 in Delaware, advertised on this forum.

What was Plan A? A truck camper? Not as much room as an Escape 5.0, and less storage I think.

You say you don't want a used 5.0, but the Escape Pre-Owned page has a 2022 model (practically new)...

Yep, think stagflation. But the slowdown will kill demand, and suddenly the RV manufacturers will find themselves without orders and a backlog of product. Then you'll get your 5.0!

Looks like ClickIt RV dropped the price of the 25RQ Bigfoots, now US$76k:

I thought they were new. Advertised on the Escape and Bigfoot Facebook pages. May be mistaking for others.

And once you sign the Build Sheet, Escape is committed to the price at that time.

AFAIK, all of the molded-fiberglass RV builders are privately owned. So even if we wanted to buy stock in them, we can't.

An Airstream Basecamp? Even an Escape 17 has more room. And not made by Thor, either.
