What would you like to see made for the Escape?

I'd like hooks to dry towels on outside. I've tried suction cup ones but they fall off. I have frameless windows. Maybe something that could hook into the window?

That's a great idea.

Generally speaking, 3d printed objects are not considered "food safe", which is what I'd want in a potable water funnel.


There are a number of reasons for this: lead or other heavy metal contamination introduced into the object from the printer during printing, lack of availability of filament with appropriate food grade "provenance" (i.e. nobody knows what's really in it), and the large number of small grooves / holes in the printed object that provide a nice place for things to "grow".

I hope the OP is running his printer out in the garage or an outside workshop. Lot's of people don't consider the toxic fumes produced by these things while in operation.

That would give new meaning to the saying, "Lately I've been running on fumes."

Sorry, I just saw this.

the hatch had deteriorated significantly.

If this hatch was made from 24guage metal,

I don't know about the 5.0 hatch but not having A/C I always had the standard 14x14 hatch in its place. Yes, the cover is biodegradable and I've replaced them with the polycarbonate ones that seem to stand up well. I think that I once saw a metal version available also.

Is there no polycarbonate version available for a 5.0?

I'd like to see the 21C come with gas struts to lift the bed board+mattress.

I'm ready to work on my next 3d-printed mod, and I'll make it available once I work it out. What would you all like to see most?

1. An organizer for the medicine cabinet
2. Custom silverware drawer organizers
3. Toggle latches to keep the cabinet doors closed
4. Mechanical ties to link milk crates more rigidly than the standard zip ties. Perhaps something that allows the use of bolts.
5. An improved shower drain insert for the wet bath.
6. Storage solution for the manual awing and stabilizer jack crank
7. Refrigerator organizer (wife requests something to store eggs without them breaking)
8. Something else/other?

Black tank flush

I've got the answer for that! These suction cup hooks will NOT come loose. Just clean the side of the trailer before you put them on. The vacuum is pulled by turning the knob, which massively increases the pressure they are stuck on with. We put them on over a year ago, and they are still stuck on the outside of the trailer by the exterior shower. https://www.amazon.com/HASKO-access...&sprefix=suction+cup+hook,aps,180&sr=8-5&th=1
