Escape Owner Wanna Be

[cantie]

Hi. My husband and I currently own a TrailManor hard-sided pop-up and love it, however, we are getting along in years and thinking about a change. Have seen the Escape from the outside and looked at the website and are interested. Does anyone know if any of these trailers can be re-configured for a 'walk around' bed? Thanks!

That might be asking a lot from a fibreglass rv... but if you have a look at the new 21 ft , you will see 2 sided access . Having been in the new one , I would say very comfortable access , really nice space , with none of the set up issue of a pop- up type . A beautiful space , really worth looking at .

Hi: cantie... Can't say for sure. Sounds like a ? for the master builder himself. Call Escape 604 703 1650 and ask Reace or Tammy. They can/will do a lot of custom work. Welcome to the forum. Alf

Welcome to our Escape world, Cantie,
As was posted, Escape's newest model, 21' has the closest to a walk around. If you contact the factory they can put you in touch with someone that may have an Escape in your area to inspect. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks Jim. Hard to tell what it will look like as the pictures I saw were all in the building process.

Thanks Alf. Will call once we have cell reception - live in CA and want to get up to BC to see the factory sometime soon!

Thanks GABack - you are correct, it's the set-up (especiall when it is raining!) that is getting to us. Also, having to climb over one another for our nightly commutes!

We moved up from a Lees-ure Lite tent trailer to the Escape 19 - chose the 19 because of the queen bed, but do admit that a walk around would be really nice.

Here's another alternative if you want to keep the size of your unit down.

That was a huge jump! We were actually looking at the Lee-sure-lite as a camper to pull behind our small Mazda sedan. We changed our mind and ordered an Escape 19 and of course we now need a new tow vehicle.

Ha ha ha!
We towed the Lees-ure Lite with the motorcycle and often nurtured a fantasy of buying a a long bed truck that we could carry the motorcycle in while we towed a waterproof queen sized bed that just might come with a real bathroom. Less than 18 months later, here we are. Isn't life grand!
Congratulations on your Escape 19 - you'll love it - it feels like a mansion in comparison to the Lees-ure Lite!

I once saw a guy show up at a campsite with no trailer but I guess he had a tent. Had a full-sized refrigerator in his pick-up.

I once saw a guy show up at a campsite with no trailer but I guess he had a tent. Had a full-sized refrigerator in his pick-up.

Went fishing and tent camping once in a truck with a portable 12 volt fridge in the back seat. Went for a wade down the river fly fishing and when we got back to our remote camp site a few hours later the battery was dead. I guess we should have turned off the fridge when the vehicle was not running!

Fortunately for us the only other fisherman there found a set of jumper cables in his truck to give us a boost. If he was not there it would have been a very, very long walk back to civilization! Lesson learned.
