Escape 19 Travel Trailer Tour

This video is a COMPLETELY UNBIASED RV REVIEW of the @takeyourescape Escape 19 travel trailer. This is a fiberglass built RV that is compact and light weight.
We loved that the Escape 19 is easy to tow, has lots of exterior storage space, has a lovely wet bath including a sink and can be highly personalized. We wished the toilet were lower, that there was a cutting board and the compartment doors had used magnets.
We think the Escape 19 travel trailer is best suited for the weekender/vacationer just because of its size and space. It is ideal for a couple or solo traveller with the occasional guests or a small family out for short periods would enjoy it too.

*** Just want to let you that the front window of the Escape trailers with the cover over it is a single pane window. Just to be as accurate as possible ***

[@MusicLover-kf1cw]

I asked under general comments but is there a way to add a second bed or does the dinette turn into a bed? I’d imagine that would have been shown if so :)

[@DoesSizeMatter]

@@MusicLover-kf1cw Yes we did respond to the other comment but yes the dinette does make down to a bed. We do say 'it makes down' and no we don't show the beds being converted in every video, just some. We generally just mention it. The cool thing is that if you get in contact with Escape they will take you on a live video call and show it to you. Hope that helps. thanks for watching.

[@carlveilleux5744]

The E19 is essentially the same thing as my 1981 Trillium 5500 but 1ft longer so a bit more interior storage space. Escapes are built almost exactly like Trilliums were in the 70s/80s, some of the Trillium design flaws corrected (belly band among others). Very nice trailers!

[@dougsmith7195]

We had a 2007 Escape 17B and recently upgraded to a 2020 Escape 19. We looked at other manufacturers before upgrading and nothing compared to our old Escape 17B. Escape was great to deal with and because of Covid we had it delivered to Ontario. Quality is top notch and didn’t have one issue. The 19 tows behind my Tundra like it’s not even there. Size does matter, the size is perfect.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Yay! being a repeat customer says a lot. We are thrilled to hear that you love your Escape and that it tows so well. Thanks for sharing your experience as an owner and for watching.

Thank you Kory and Denise. Great video tour as usual. Looking forward to the next one.

You are very welcome, we are glad you liked it. Thanks for spending your time with us.

[@auroranite]

Denise keep in mind, clips to hold baggage doors vs magnet because its a fiberglass shell. Quality build, great tour.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

We hear your point and we certainly aren't the fibreglass specialists but it would be nice if they could figure out a way put magnets on the side. Maybe it's just me but I know Kory and I would end up pulling on those little clips and then kicking ourselves for it later. haha Thanks for watching.

Thanks for this awesome tour. I've been a bit in love with the Escapes since I saw Slim Potatohead's rig. It kind of reminded me of the 1970's 18' Scotty that I grew up camping in. I can't (currently) afford an Escape so I just bought a 1975 15'Scotty HiLander that I'll be giving a bit of tlc.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Glad you liked it. They are a very nice trailer and we are super glad to hear that you got one you like and can afford so you can get out there having adventures too. It's kinda fun to take something older and give it that TLC too. We have spent a lot of time on Penelope and are just getting started on more and it just makes us love her more. It adds character and fun. Enjoy yourself. Thanks for watching.

That Top Shelf over the Table would be a storage area for any pillows and blankets if you turn the dinette into a Bed.

Great trailer when our biggest complaint are the plastic clips holding up the baggage doors. Now we want one of these...along with the LTV B+, the class A, and of course the adventure van for everyday use. Great review as always, you guys are costing us a lot of money.

[@0HARE]

Thanks for a very thorough and informative tour. I’ve kind of fallen in love with molded fiberglass trailers. We’re thinking of checking out Casita, which is near our home here in Dallas, but these Escape trailers seem so much better. The longer size, and all the options will probably sell us on the Escape. Happy Camping

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Glad you liked it. We like Escape too. They are really nice. Let us know if you get one we want to hear about it. Thanks for watching

[@acricucci9760]

Check out Casita Spirit Deluxe before you decide. That configuration lets you leave your bed open and still has a separate dinette + a big closet with hanging rack. It’s a personal choice but I feel the Casita offers so much more.

I really like the Escape product & am intrigued with their 5.0 fifth wheel however for now, it is too compact for the 2 of us & 2 dogs. From my research, I am impressed with their product. Thanks K&D. 😀

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Yes the 5th wheel is very nice and will be coming out in the coming weeks. These are smaller trailers therefore not for everyone but if light weight and long lasting are a person's top priorities Escape is a good one. Thanks for watching

[@dianehall5345]

Thank you for this tour. I really like the custom ordering feature. Does Escape have a " winter camping" package? I like the composting toilet option. Reduces weight and no black water tank to deal with. I am leaning toward one of their 5th wheels. Thanks again! ~ Diane

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Check out the Escape construction video kzbin.info/www/bejne/raWYmIFjpdagj5o we do talk about some options for colder weather use like heating pads and undercarriage foam for more insulation. Without those options we would say it would not be good in freezing temps but with A/C it could manage fairly well in hotter temps. Their website tells you all of the options you can choose from and they are super helpful one on one. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

[@duckiegirl58]

Agreed! Beautiful do!!! I love this line of trailers! I'd love to know how the wheel wells hold up to a tire blowout.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Thanks so much.

[@takeyourescape]

Hi Candie, the wheel wells are beefed up with extra layers on fiberglass and have held up well to tire blowouts in the past.

[@marleehuber840]

We are thankful for good insurance. We had a blowout on our 2012 Escape 19 and the fiberglass around it was shredded. Insurance covered repairs and it came back good as new and beautiful.

[@MusicLover-kf1cw]

Is there a way to add a second bed to the trailer? We are a family of four and currently looking into getting a trailer by 2022

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Yes the dinette makes into the second bed, so it's already there. Like most small RVs the extra bed will generally double as the dining table. Hope that helps. thanks for watching.

[@chachacheng9380]

Fridge with freezer is little small for fishing camping.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Most RV fridges will be too small for freezing your catches while out fishing, unless you are in a very large RV anyways. We would suggest you bring a portable fridge/freezer unit for the fish and use what is in your RV for food. Unfortunately, RVs are always a give to get scenario, if you want the smaller RV you get smaller appliances and can fit into more remote or smaller places but if you want bigger appliances you will have to have a bigger RV that won't fit into those same kinds of places. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching

[@dawnhoff5322]

I think the escapes are super cute...sadly my husband thinks they are too small? But unless it’s cold or rainy who’s inside much while camping? 😉

I am a first time buyer, how should I go about purchasing a escape 19 camper, are they available, i live in Maryland.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Hey there glad you are here. We love helping buyers find the right RV for them. If you scroll down in the description of the video the link to the Escape Trailer website is there, click that and it will give you a whole bunch more info and you can also contact them by phone and they will go over the entire process of buying an Escape trailer with you. Buying from Escape is different then others because you are buying factory direct instead of from a dealership. They will help you understand the shipping choices to get the trailer to Maryland for you and they do have a cool program for you to get to see an Escape trailer in person too. Good Luck with your purchase. Let us know how it goes.

[@takeyourescape]

Hello, thanks for inquiring about the Escape 19. And thanks to Denise for jumping on here and answering this and every other question asked! We really value these reviews they've done of our trailers. Denise has it correct in her reply. Buying an Escape direct from us is a slightly different process than going to a lot and choosing what's available. It sounds like you've chosen the Escape 19 as the model that suits you well. That's great, it's our most popular model for many reasons. The next step is to get your deposit in as soon as possible. As of today (1.18.22) an order on an Escape 19 would put the completion date around October 2023. That may be sooner, and there's lots of info on the website explaining the ordering process and the possibilities of the timeline moving faster. The deposit to secure your production slot is $2,000 USD and $2,500 CAD. Once that is done, you'll have lots of time to learn about all the options and personalization choices available. We typically start working with you on finalizing your build sheet 4-5 months out from the actual delivery date. I'll add a few links below, the first one goes directly to our deposit page. The other links will direct you to some video we've created to help purchasers in the process of buying an Escape. If you have any questions, please contact our sales team directly at [e-mail] escapetrailer.com/payments/ kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6jXdqeGoZWLabs kzbin.info/door/dauP0Tq5LC0nKVxB6wYrWg We also have some videos on our website that discuss the purchasing process. escapetrailer.com/videos-purchase-process/

@@takeyourescape Thanks so much for helping our viewers understand the unique experience of getting an Escape Trailer. We know you work super hard to give your customers a great buying experience and are always working hard to get completion dates moved up. This buyer is going to have so much fun in their Escape.

[@jimnelson7740]

One big question I have is "what is the wheel track width?" That is the outside of tire to outside of tire on the opposite side.

[@takeyourescape]

Hi Jim, thanks for the question. The overall width of the shell is 7' or 84". Outside tire to outside tire is 6'9" or 81".

[@jimnelson7740]

@@takeyourescape That's really good news. Only 3/4" wider than my Dodge 3/4 ton, on each side. Will easily go down the two-tracks without being out in the rock and brush on each side. Now, give me a 17B with twin beds, and I'll buy it...LOL

Great question but we have not done the research on the Oliver yet. We are looking for some to review though. So stay tuned and we will let you know when we do. Thanks for watching.

Hi Bobby, thanks for the question. The starting price for the Escape 19 reviewed is $26,995 USD and $34,795 CAD.

@@takeyourescape Thank you for recognizing the question.

[@mjrnetworks]

What comes in the Base?

[@MichelleNovalee]

I'm surprised the 19 is more expensive than the 21. You'd think bigger would cost more.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

This is a good question and we don't really know. It is possible that the 19' had more options but we aren't really sure. We would suggest to go bigger if you can tow it. They aren't that much different than one another and the little extra space does not translate into harder to drive with or park. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

Really nice and American made but I don't know anyone who can afford it. 65k really!

It is super nice but is actually Canadian made and it fits right into the budget of anyone who can afford fiberglass shell construction as they are competitively priced. Go to the Numbers section of the video and we do give you the details between Canadian and US dollars. Hope that helps, thanks for watching

[@truth959]

I'd feel like I was 4 years old if I had to use that toilet.

[@karinhart489]

Why is there a black tank if there is a composting toilet?

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Great question. We did not actually see the black tank but the pulls were there. The storage space was enormous so it is possible that is because the black tank was missing. Personally we would like to keep the black tank(or option to change back to one) in case we changed our minds about the composting toilet and plumb it for more grey tank space. This is the thing about buying an Escape. All these things are all details you can work out with them directly as you are ordering your trailer. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

An Escape trailer is very customized to the preferences of the buyer and a back splash is an option we have seen on others (check out the 5th wheel video) so if it is something you are looking for go to their site (link in the video description) and go through the customization process with them. They have more decor choices then any other manufacturer we have seen. Back splashes are a super easy detail to manage. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching

[@aickoyvesschumann3400]

Why is it that campers always come with low end solar panels? At the overall price upgrading to a high efficiency panel for $150 more seems to be a no-brainer. What am I not getting?

[@DoesSizeMatter]

We can't answer why manufacturers choose the panels they do but we can tell you that with Escape you are able to have whatever you want. Because they build so custom you would be able to choose something different if you want. Click on the link in the video description to their website and you can contact them. I am very confident they would be able to give you the panels you want with very little trouble. They do it with things like flooring so why not solar panels. Hopefully that helps you out.

[@7CAJONEZ]

The most important spec is never mentioned on any of these reviews. Insulation. Give up a few inches interior to get a high R value. Essential forcall season living.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Insulation is always mentioned in the construction video for each brand of RV and we always link to those videos and mention them multiple times in each floor plan video, so it's important to make sure you have all of the facts before commenting. As for R value we agree with you that thicker walls are better insulated walls. The problem with R values in RVs is they are not calculated like a house is. There are different products that manufacturers assign R value numbers to that don't really have an R value. These products do help with heating and cooling but don't actually have an R value. This all leads to very inconsistent information and each manufacturer trying to make their product look the best but the truth is that R value numbers are only informative if they are calculated and compared in a consistent way. So the important details when determining if an RV will be an extended season RV are wall thickness, enclosed and heated underbelly and valves, type of windows, any wood in floors or ceiling and any of those extra products helping the insulation like the foil sheets. Hopefully this helps. Thanks for watching

[@7CAJONEZ]

@@DoesSizeMatter I said "most important spec" means top of the list, number one. More important than weight, capacity, dimensions, storage etc. When I said "these videos" I meant the all the other video makers as well. And it was not mentioned in this one which prompted my comment. It seems to be deliberately down played.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

@@7CAJONEZ We totally get why you think insulation is such an important spec and we agree but 'being the most important' is your opinion, for others it may not be. We can't speak for other video creators but our channel does explain insulation on each brand we do and we offer that info in every video so there is no down playing or hiding of any information. Remember we are completely unbiased reviewers with no affiliation with dealerships or manufacturers so we have no need to hide or down play any information. We do the research and then we share it with you. Hope that helps.

[@SNlPER27]

Still has an outdated interior. That's too bad.

[@DoesSizeMatter]

Remember you get to pick everything for the trailer you purchase and they do have much more modern choices so if you like the build and floor plan take a look at some of our other Escape videos which show examples of the more modern decor choices. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
