That being said, I am with you Jim; I'm one of them.
I'm just wondering why a discussion of ETI quality. All RVs require maintenance, some brands more than others. Having divested myself of a Scamp 19 to purchase a 5.0TA, I can honestly state that the 5.0TA is everything the Scamp 19 could never hope to be. Does that mean my Escape has had no problems? No, I've had a door hinge self destruct and this past weekend, when attempting to unlock the door, the key suddenly stopped turning halfway between the locked and unlocked position. I had to replace the lock set which was essentially 4 month old. Is that Reace's fault? I don't think so, I put that squarely on Bauer, the manufacturer. But the Fantastic Fans in my Scamp started to leak before the trailer was 18 months old. After pulling the first out and finding NO butyl tape, I called them and asked why the fan would be leaking. Scamp told me that it shouldn't be leaking because they put butyl tape under every fan. Oh really? They must have missed both of mine. I hate being lied to. And after dealing with several other problems, I came to the conclusion that Scamp is an acronym for Shoddily Constructed And Maintenance Plagued (sorry Donna, please don't jump all over me, my opinion entirely. Or I could mention the two Aliners, the first of which leaked around the door and ruined the floor, or the second which leaked every time it rained resulting in soggy bed cushions. But anyone complaining about the quality of their Escape should sell it and buy another brand. They will then truly understand how good ETIs quality control and customer service really is.
