I've read several discussions regarding a proper fitted cover for various Escape models and in doing so have gleaned some very useful information on the subject. There are (as always) a number of opinions regarding the best choices but I haven't seen too many photos of Escape trailers with covers actually fitted to them. I thought it might be of interest to some of you so I've attached a couple of photos of our 2024 E17 with the recently purchased "Classic Accessories-Over Drive-PermaPRO" cover for molded fiberglass trailers. This is the "Model II" cover that measures 156" and is advertised to fit trailers measuring 10'1"-13". Installation was quite easy and the resulting fit is apparent in the pictures. For clarification, our E17 has both the AC unit, 1- Max Fan and the optional solar panel mounted on the roof. Clearly, the cover can accommodate these extras and still fit comfortably. I did fabricate 4 protective pieces from foam pipe insulation for the sharp corners of the solar panel. It also became apparent after the cover was installed that one corner of my license plate was poking into the cover fabric so another piece of pipe insulation cut to length solved that issue. If you're considering a cover for your E17 I hope you find this useful.

That cover appears to fit surprisingly perfect, given what it's intended for. We have a fifth wheel trailer and it was difficult to find a cover small enough for it. We've had 4 covers and they were all huge so we finally went to a custom-made cover and it fits similar to yours.

You may want to consider tire covers, too.
 
No, the 8-10' is too short for the E17. I too had difficulty finding the larger one but it's out there and if you go directly to their web site "classicaccessories.com" and search for SKU #: 80-408-151001-RT, you should find it. That page offers the option of either a 120" or 156" model. The 156" is the one I purchased and is shown in the posted photos. Yes, the promo-shot of this cover shows it on an Escape! If you continue to have trouble finding the larger 156" here is the entire link. classicaccessories.com/over-drive-permapro-molded-fiberglass-travel-trailer-cover+size-156~L
