With a loaded weight on a 21' of 4200 lbs., a tongue weight is needed of between 420 and 630 lbs. The Sherline easily has enough precision for that. We use a little higher than 10% such as 11 or 12%...

The problem is knowing what he was calling "little." A little down probably does not matter much but something significant does. So what is significant? Well, we try for level! And we just make...

The idea is to be level but with tandem axles, apparently slightly up is better than slightly down. I had this conversation with Reace and that is what I think he said.

I never look at where the...

I mean that slightly nose down is considered better than nose up with a single axle. I wondered if that still holds true with tandem axles.

Yes, when you put more weight on the tongue on a dual axle so that the tongue is lower, the tongue weight is lower, not higher as you might expect. But does that translate to meaning that nose down...

In hot weather, the outside shower can be used to save space in the gray tank but guess you can't use soap!

Eric, I see that some numbers have been corrected. Expected average 21' weight is 4200-4300 lbs. The 3600 lbs. was a mistake as Paulw says. Our 21' with options only is over
3600 lbs. With a...

Yes, anyone needs to look at their storage situation if it happens to fall right at that range.

This is one of the advantages of some tows over others: we can fit in two parking spaces with the...

The 21' is one foot eight inches longer than the 19' and four inches wider. The problem could be tow vehicle capacity for several hundred more pounds. Their general size is practically the same but...

On the refrigerator for sure. You can get the new 6.7 in a 19' but need to pay for it. I really like the 6.7 but never had the 4.3 so cannot compare but have heard the complaints. The 19'...

I always thought that the fact that two people could pass in the aisle was one of the selling points of Escapes over other brands.

I have seen people say aisle size before. It should be noted that most people can pass each other in a 19'. At least, that is what I think. Without having measured, my impression is that the 21'...

I think Escape should skip the 23' and go right to the 25'. There are a whole lot of people out there with much bigger than 25' and that is downsizing to them.

Maybe someone should just make a...

Ruthe, do you sleep with your shades up so the sun will wake you? I love the sun waking me up many times, too, but other people may not and not necessarily some days. I try to give information for...

Yes, that's the deal. Everything is relative to what you used to have.

Bigfoots are wider trailers and that costs a lot in mpgs.

I have mentioned the bigger bath and so have others in other threads and, yes, that is definitely nice. I would not pick it as the main reason to switch but you do. The main difference to most is...

Yes, Loren, there is plenty of room around our bed and I can guess that there now is more room around the 19' beds also.

That is why I asked him about the bed in the back --- as to whether that is an issue with the bed near the door. There may be some very little advantage to the location of the 19' bed for that, but...

What is it you like about the layout of the 19'? You mean the bed at the back? Bath in the middle?

You can walk maybe three steps in a 19'. You can walk, starting in the bathroom, probably...
