We're excited...today we finalized adding a few options to the build sheet of a 2020 19 inventory unit we recently put a deposit on. We've struggled with being unable to physically tour any Escape trailer due to COVID19 isolation orders. However, the Escape Ambassador program has connected us with great people who love their units and they were gracious in answering lots of questions.
This forum and it's members has also been invaluable in helping us make the decision of whether to order a entirely personalized trailer or skip the wait and buy one currently in inventory, which options and even DM's and phones calls with forum members, truly a refreshing experience.
Additionally, we've found a few Escape owners YouTube channels and really appreciate your time sharing what you share about your trailers. We're really pleased with the final build items and would have likely ended up selecting the same options....and we didn't have to have sleepless nights wondering if we should order awning style or framed slider windows...the decision was already made.
Finally, the folks at Escape have been great giving us video tours and answering our naive questions about adding options to a trailer already in inventory and sending picture after picture. Even Karl, the President, took the close-up pictures of the upholstery in our trailer!!!
Some background, we love exploring Idaho and surrounding States and for the past 12 years we enjoyed the small confines of a 'Four Wheel Camper' which is an aluminum framed pop-up slide in camper weighing in ~750lbs https://fourwheelcampers.com/ which we ordered direct from the factory sight unseen (sounds similar to Escape's model doesn't it). But seasons change in our lives and our season is now grandparents of 3+ cute grandkids who we want to be able to take with us from time to time and actually have room for them. Additionally, my tow vehicle season changed and after loving a 2006 Tundra and 2015 Tundra we decided to make a drastic change and now drive a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon pickup. For years we planned on purchasing an 19-23' Airstream and have studied every feature but I've always had our eyes on Escape and Oliver fiberglass trailers. Once it came time to making a decision, the decision was easy, Escape, they build a custom trailer, the way I want with the features I want and we feel lucky to have found an inventory unit so we don't have to wait 4 months.
The plans are to pickup our trailer in Sumas around the 1st week of June and after that our plan is to continue our personal isolation, as we always have, by finding remote locations and sharing these experiences with our grandchildren (...and of course, our children too).
