I really do like the fiberglass trailers over the conventional types with the water leaks and laminate separation that you see while driving down the roads. They also seem to keep shape due to less flexing than the wood box types or even the Aluminum (Airstreams). A bit more pricey but from what I have read so far the resale is much higher. Thank you for a great video tour - with the plus and minus to owning this trailer.

Good video. I know what you mean about the lack of space. We bought a R-Pod 178 (about the same size as your Escape) last year to get ready for "1/2Time RVing". The lack of storage and separate space for "personal time" was missed. We sold it after 6 months and ended up getting a Jay Feather 24T. Works out MUCH better for us. Good luck on your adventure.

very well done Casey. Love the trailer. Wish it didn't have a east/west crawlover, but you guys are young. Also, when are all trailer builders going to offer a compressor style refrigerator? so do I notice Airstream, Lance, and Jayco come with them. Gas is less reliable, less room, and down right dangerous. You wouldn't have to cut holes in the camper to vent it, and the compressor style lasts forever.

Thank you for the tour Casey. I had not seen an Escape before so much appreciated. To anyone perusing I believe I would recommend a Bigfoot RV over an Escape. They are similarly fibreglass built and ar Bigfoots e in fact quite famous for their winter use even in extremely cold temperatures (as in -20 or colder) as they have heavier insulation in them. They have 17,21 and 25 ft models. More of the features that are standard on a Bigfoot are options on the Escape. I really like the Bigfoot 25ft model which has a queen bed, dinette and a sofa - but they do have a 17ft with a real fridge, bath, dinette and sep bed if one wants a lighter weight TT. The thing about either of these Canadian manufacturers is that they are high quality RV builders and so they are not on the cheap side. But if you want full fibreglass, dual axles for real carrying capacity, and real craftmanship that holds up then they are great choices.

Nice tour. I own a smaller Casita. I like fiberglass rigs. A lot of commonalities Escape and Casita. Two people really need more space than what Casita offers though. Casita doesn't seem to be able to keep up a modern look .....still uses designs similar to its campers from 10-15 yrs ago. You'd like to see changes in design once in awhile.
@CaseyFriday
@CaseyFriday 8 жыл бұрын
I definitely agree - and that's one of the main reasons we picked the Escape - the nice design. They just redesigned their fiberglass molds, and I don't really like the way they look now (flat front door instead of curved) - doesn't really look like a boat anymore. Fortunately for us, we got a lovely looking one. :)

You mentioned a desire for more space to stretch out...maybe a n exterior Tent where you can set up outdoor furniture with a table suitable for eating or as a desk for work. If you are going to be stationary for several days there are some that are larger, but easy to set up which double as an extra room or mobile patio for outdoor cooking & activities.

The Voltage does tell you the capacity. A 12v battery will be about 14v at 100% and 10v at 0%. You have to find the voltage variance of your battery and then you will know what the battery voltage is at 50%. In most cases a 12v reading is 50% battery Capacity

It sounds like you need a 25 or 26 foot one. Plus you get Generator etc. At first i was trying to find like 10 to 14 Feet, would have been very small. Most of us don't think of the right size because we're all too busy until you move in and see what it's all about. The Gas Mileage is way better then getting a regular size or even diesel full size.

The funniest part of this entire video was the end. “The only downside is needing more space and a place for personal time”. I love camping and anyone wanting to do the whole tiny house thing is fine, but living in a 19’ camper for 6 months seems miserable mainly as he stated no space. If a camper was my only option due to money etc.. then fine but i really enjoy my huge fenced in back yard where my dogs love to play, my garage where I spend a lot of time and just my house. We travel whenever we want but always nice coming home and having space with our fire pit in the back yard with a beer

You said the air conditioner runs on AC power only. When you are off the grid and out camping, does your battery system convert from DC to AC somehow to run the air conditioner? Sorry if thats a stupid question, I'm just curious. My wife and I have been looking at these for about two years and are considering getting the 21 footer.
@CaseyFriday
@CaseyFriday 7 жыл бұрын
No, you can't run the Air Conditioner off the batteries. You have to find temperate places to do dry camping, otherwise it'll get really hot really fast. (The heater runs on a DC blower and propane heat though, so it'll work off-grid).

Unless you really rough it, you probably won't save tons of money; however, in the US, we solve the extreme temperature problem by traveling to more temperate climates when certain places get unbearable. Travel trailers aren't built to withstand the extreme temperatures for long periods of time, but they can definitely do it for short spurts. Good luck with whatever you choose!

Excellent presentation. I am in the shopping mode considering only fiberglass models - Scamp, Casita, Escape, ???. I like the Oliver but they are ridiculously priced. I thought the Escape was very nice but I am concerned about getting back to the U.S., registration, tax, and other custom issues. If you had to do it again, would you still go through the hassle or would you opt for a brand manufactured in the U.S.? And how would you rate the quality of the escape in comparison to the Casita and Scamp?

Would ABSOLUTELY get an Escape every time. Other people didn't have the trouble that we did with registration, so it might be a bit easier for you. We toured Scamps / Casitas, and the Escape was not only better laid out, it also looked / felt much better made than the Scamp / Casita.

Thank you so much for sharing this video Casey. I am currently tossing around RV or Tiny house. My kids are grown and I am now disabled after several attempts trying to fix my back. I'm just scared to make the leap. It's the whole,"where can I live semi permanently" in one and I know nothing about how to empty the black tank and just other things that seem nothing to some people but with me alone and disabled, it's stuff I need to consider. So do you basically set up in campgrounds? Thanks again for such a great and informative video!
@CaseyFriday
@CaseyFriday 8 жыл бұрын
Yep - you can find some people on KZbin that boondock almost exclusively, but with this small of a trailer, my wife and I would have to fill up with water / empty the tanks every 4-5 days, and that would be no fun; so we just stay in campgrounds for around $600-750/month. I'll be doing a budget video very soon, showing how much we spent in August, so you can get a better idea of what it costs to do this. Unfortunately, I'm no longer a fan of going the Tiny House route (check my previous videos :D ).

Battery VOLTAGE is the most important measure of your batteries condition. Never let a AGM or any other 12volt nominal battery get below 10.5 volts and preferably 11 volts. Any time you go below 10.5V calcification starts on the plates and battery live is diminished markedly. So get a digital read out voltage meter.

The Castia is built in Tx and the Oliver in TN ( but is expensive), so I am thinking since you took the trip to BC , there has to be a overwhelming reason. Did you consider the non-egg lite weights?

Yeah, my wife and I went to a fiberglass rally to check out each brand, and we looked at Casitas, Scamps, Olivers, and Escapes. At 6' 3", the only two I can stand up in are Escape and Oliver, and we also didn't like the layout / floor to ceiling carpeting of the Casitas, and the Scamps just seemed a bit more cheaply made than the Escape. We were impressed by how shiny the Oliver was, but after examining both (and having some construction experience), we noticed that the quality was just about the same on the Escapes and Olivers - and there was a 1-2 year wait list for an Oliver (not that we could afford it anyway) - so we got on the Escape wait list (9 months at the time), and we got a call the very next weekend stating someone had canceled, so we got to acquire a 19 and pick out all the options. We picked the Frontier (tow vehicle) based on our trailer needs, and it has actually turned out to be our favorite vehicle out of all that we've owned. Very reliable truck!

+Casey Friday Thanks for the info! It is a big help. We're the Escapes priced more or less or about the same as the Oliver? I guess I can check it for myself.

They are about half the cost of an Oliver.

wonder if the all aluminium campers are better than fiberglass. like camplite
@CaseyFriday
@CaseyFriday 8 жыл бұрын
Aluminum sided campers are much more prone to water leaks and interior rot. Fiberglass eggs are hermetically sealed, so there is way less chance of a leak, which is one of the main benefits. Trade-offs = no slide-outs, smaller overall floor plan.

sorry the one in the wall next to the floor heater is it your furnace ?
@CaseyFriday

The one in the wall is the propane furnace that came with the trailer. The one on the floor is the DeLonghi ceramic heater that I bought at Lowe's.

Thanks for doing the very informative video. We are thinking about a used 5.0 5th wheel or this 19ft tt. Do you mind me asking what you tow it with? And how well does it tow? Would you buy this again? (FYI, we had a Parkliner fiberglass, and I would not but one again). Thank you.

We tow with a 2006 Nissan Frontier manual V6. Max tow allowance is 6,000 lbs, so this is well below that rating for us. We love the Frontier, and it doesn't have any problems towing. We would buy this again - very nice, reliable trailer.

Did the lock box behind the propane tanks come with the trailer as an option or did you purchase aftermarket? If aftermarket, May I ask where they may be purchased? Great video!!! Great quality and you are very well versed... 😀😀😀

Casey - can you tell me about how your Escape does in freezing weather? I'm thinking I will be spending a fair amount of time in colder climates going full time. Trying to find something affordable (31K is not too bad). Are your tanks and pipes inside a heated area?
@CaseyFriday
@CaseyFriday 8 жыл бұрын
We lived in Santa Fe, NM last winter, and the temps got down to about -13 F, and the trailer did great. The only thing we had to maintain was the pair of tank valves (gray and black). They would get frozen shut, so we had to hit them with a heat gun (blow dryer would probably work too) for about 5-10 minutes to get them to open again. Aside from that, it was great in freezing temps, as long as we left a window cracked with the MAXX fan on low, to keep from getting condensation buildup.
