I am very pleased to say that we have a new 19 ordered for pickup in November. My son Kyle and I live in the NE part of Washington state. I have been camping for many years, up-sizing then downsizing through the years from a tent, to tent trailer, to class C, to Nash 17c trailer, to Retro 195, and now looking forward to our new Escape 19. My wife recent passed away, so now I camp with Kyle who has down syndrome - he lives to camp. I am downsizing from the Retro 195 to the Escape 19 because I prefer to have something smaller, lighter and more "nimble" to get into the smaller campsites - something we really enjoyed with the Nash 17c. I expect the Escape will also be a far better quality trailer that will last a very long time and rugged enough to do some serious road trips - I am registered for the Oregon NOG in spring 2019 and considering meeting folks at the event in Quartzsite as well in conjunction with a planned winter desert camping trip. I am the "journey" rather than the "destination" type of camper. Thanks to everyone in the forum for the great information helping to get through the build sheet process.
