Hello,
We are considering an Escape for our next trailer, so have joined the forum to kick tires, virtually.
We currently have a 1979 Trillium (13') with solar power, and we love it for going to small isolated campgrounds. We are introverts, and are not excited about camping with 500 of our closest friends in a crowded RV park. A small place in the middle of nowhere with no cell coverage and maybe 1-2 other campers? Heaven.
The Trillium works well for this, but it is a bit small.
I have just started to read / search forums, but am looking into the following questions:
- Best size for boondocking and use on rough roads? I note that the 17' model has the axle lift kit for better clearance, but not the 19' model. I assume this is deliverate.
- Would the 5th wheel be suitable for rough / high clearance roads, or who am I kidding? Seriously, never used a 5th wheel. I'm assuming that the truck-connection limits height modifications of the trailer.
We have enough power to tow (F-150 4x4), so that's not an issue.
Cheers,
Stephen
