Hi all
New guy here from western Mass wondering if any of you live in New England, NY, or Pa. that would mind if I were to stop by some time to look at your trailer. At this point I'm interested in the 17 or 19 but would appreciate seeing any of the models. Early Oct I'm headed down to the Outer Banks, if you live in that area I could take a day trip while were down that way.
Now that the kids are grown up and off doing there own things we're starting travel farther for longer periods as opposed to just going camping in one spot for a week, I'm trying to decide the best way to do such. We currently have a Starcraft 18' Hybrid and would like to go to something hard-sided. It's either a bigger more comfortable travel trailer like the Arctic Fox 25', along with the prerequisite 3/4 ton truck/SUV, or go with a more streamlined unit that'll tow easier then the AF like the Escape. While I'm traveling in the next few weeks I'm going to try and stop by Oliver to see the 22'er which looks good on paper but is pretty pricey for me. Irregardless, it'll give me a chance to see a good fiberglass unit. I also want to check out the small Airstreams, but same as the Oliver they are big $$$.
From my limited research the Escape looks like the best fiberglass unit for the $ without breaking the bank, as well as being very tow vehicle friendly, hence my interest. The only problem is seeing one. My only requirements for a trailer are it has to have a usable bathroom to save the midnight runs and for quick pit stops when on the road, and it has to fit myself at 6'2" which most do not. A 74" bed just doesn't cut it for long term use.
Regards
Bob
