Welcome to the EscapeForum. Lots of kind and helpful people here. Look around, if you have any questions I'm certainly you'll get all the help you need.
Well, you're in luck. Now, with lot's more Escapes out there, it'll be easier than ever to find a used one. And if you want to buy new there's more options than ever. In the "old days" it was a choice of one floor type, one upholstery pattern and one arborite pattern.
I recommend that you contact ETI and ask for a list of ambassadors in your area. There's no substitute for actually viewing one and sitting inside etc.
A month ago our Escape 5.0TA was at Fort Leavenworth, we'll be there again for latter half of Nov. not with trailer, but I'd be happy to get together to discuss Escape. We've been an owner for ten years.
