Wanting to rent a Escape 17 in WA state

[tbirdescapes]

Hi all, I've been doing my research and am likely to buy a Escape 17. But I'd like to try one out before buying if possible. Does anyone know of place to rent one in Washington state OR someone who would be willing to rent theirs for 2 nights in mid-june? Thanks for any insight! Looking forward to making more connections in this community.

It's a great idea to try out a trailer before making a substantial investment in one. But typically Escape owners haven't been big on renting out their trailers. There may be someone that responds to your request but if not there may be an alternative that gets you half the experience you're looking for.

Before we bought our first RV we used to do deliveries for CruiseAmerica. It's one way to get some feeling for the whole experience, your little home with you, travelling and going to a campground. It's not a 17 but it's at least a good part of the experience of RVing.

I bought one w/t even seeing it. It was back in 2020 during COVID. No regrets.
And I would not rent it to anyone else, just based on the amount of screwups my family and myself have done to our own trailer
After owning a trailer, I now much better understand seemingly exorbitant trailer/RV rental prices. RVs are even worse since there is also an engine/drivetrain to mess with.

I live in Portland, Oregon. My 17 B is for sale and I will rent it to use. Please contact me at 503 467 6337.
