    I've watched this video 5 times. I'm wanting one of these bad. Best looking teardrop for the price that I've seen so far.

    I appreciate the video. Seriously considering a small teardrop like this one. I went to the website and noticed that it is very customizable. Your video was helpful in the fact that you pointed out the main features and WHY they are helpful to you. Thanks!

    Thanks for a great video! I've "built" countless Escapods, as well as pretty much any other brand that has online configuration, over the last 6 months. You're video has inspired me to pull the trigger on the Escapod but now, damn you, I have to add the upgraded suspension! Thanks :)

    great video , but you know even with the hitch taken off you can use the chains on it to hook it up to a ball mount and off you go . always use removeable chains .

  • @metaxaanabeer
    @metaxaanabeer 3 года назад +1

    Just a heads up...you may be able to remove the trailer tongue but if you don't lock your safety chains up tight a bad guy could back up to it, hook/wrap the chains to his bumper and yank you down the road. With increased popularity and increased value to these units so too follows increased attention from those bad guys.

      Its in our latest video, but essentially it didn't fit in the garage opening and we had to remove it each time we stored the trailer and well, that got old fast!

    I rented one in September and loved it! I"m happy you like the suspension and front box. What are the dimensions of the driver side of the box, including the size of the opening? I wonder if it will fit my Iceco vl45. Please keep your Escapod videos coming!

    Love the video, im considering a Bean trailer, how does this compare to Bean? I like the idea of the one piece shell of the Bean. I love both trailers and am having a hard time deciding. Any thoughts on how the Escapod is better than the Bean?? Thx :)

    • @offgridexploring

      ..I didn’t. I preferred the independent suspension that Escapod was offering. It is very similar to that of Australian based companies that have been very successful. So far I have really liked the way it handles off road and absorbs every bump.
