Thanks for adding me to this forum! My husband and I are getting set to order a 5.0TA and are very interested in hearing about your experiences, modifications, options, etc...We have had it all -tents, pop up, Trail Lite 5th wheel, and currently an Aliner. After almost a year of research, we have decided on the Escape 5.0TA -so impressed with quality. Looking for this to be our "forever" camper!
