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.

@worldwisenow42876 жыл бұрын
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.

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. :)

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?

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).

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.

In your search for this travel trailer, what was the deciding factor that lead you to the Escape? Was it your tow vehicle, cost, size,etc? 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?
@CaseyFriday8 жыл бұрын
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!

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.

Thanks for the tour. Have never been in an Escape before and it looks well made. And is that a Buddy Rider on your bike? How do you like and more importantly how does you dog like it? How much does your dog weigh? Would love some feed back on the Buddy Rider.

Was this a special order? Was a lot of these things standard or extras?

Great walk through, thanks so much! Just wondering: Did you consider the 5th wheel Escape which would give you private space in the separate bed area?
