    I love the trailer. I want fiberglass because they’re built better less leeks. I love those windows. I love the interior. I think that’s gonna be my by now. I’ve been waiting to get something, but I just couldn’t decide on it and that seems to be the perfect size too thank you for sharing. I love it😊

    When the bed was lifted I spotted the wiring being routed through plastic looming. We spent several years in the Airstream world and lived (barely survived) with “rats nest” wiring. Good on Escape for taking the time and resources to install the wiring properly. We currently own a Leisure Travel Van, also a Canadian manufacturer, and all the wiring in the coach is also loomed and secured to walls and fixtures. Maybe it’s a Canadian thing to do the job right in the first place. Bigfoot also make a well built coach as well.

      Great eye. That was the single thing I was MOST impressed with on this unit. I haven't even showed the best of it yet! Having had two Airstreams ourselves, and then getting an even worse product with the Jayco we had, I am blown away at the wiring on this trailer. They just do them right. LTV and Bigfoot are also wonderful units. There really is something about these products made up north... 🤔

    We spent several hours looking at one of these and up front they are impressive. But, we've spent over 200 days of the year since 2019 traveling in our tear drop so we bring a lot of experience to the table when we look at new rigs. My wife noticed that many of the overhead cabinets are not deep and barely had space for two rolled towels. In the dining area we looked for power outlets and the only one we could find by the table was under it against the seat. Bad placing as anyone sitting on the beach seat could hit the plug with their calf. The only power outlets in the bedroom area are overhead ones, so any cable you plug in is going to dangle in your face. Contrary to appearances, the bathroom/shower is small. While the medicine cabinet can hold some basics, there is no where to store towels, extra toilet paper, etc. We REALLY wanted to like the Escape 23 for the living space (ours is 15') but for the money, we just were not getting anything more than what we have (minus a few feet of space). The one we looked at had an awesome solar package with the advertisement it would power the A/C. Salesman up front said duration was dependent on outside temperature and what the inside temperature was when the a/c turned on. On the day we visited it was 97 outside and inside about 81. We spent several hours with the a/c on battery with a full charge but after about 2 or so hours, it was at 1/4 power. The salesman was great, we were very impressed with the craftsmanship of the Escape, but for us, we just didn't gain that much from what we currently have.

      Thanks!! Good choices, and I suspect your fridge will be a little larger as well. It sounds like we have the same goals overall there, funny enough. We have a little portable electric stove that we'll be using in the summers, adding in our existing lithium batteries on to these, which are proving to be really solid so far, and we have some serious work to do on the solar configuration, but I'm hoping to have a great setup solar-wise! I'd love to know how you enjoy your new trailer once you have it as well!

  • @BrianAz
    @BrianAz 9 дней назад +1

    Fantastic! First off, Pam and I looked at these when we were shopping. The first excellent thing that they fixed which made it a deal breaker was the awning arm blocking the side window! It was great to see they figured that out! The windows are fantastic too! The acrylic that you can open 90 degrees, and the dual shades is the best. The choice to add the front window is a must as well! Great choice! Everything was great, great, great! And finally, the build quality! You can roll that sucker off a cliff and brush it off and move back in! Congratulations!

    • @CozyLivingMachine
      @CozyLivingMachine  8 дней назад +2

      Oh yeah. We thought about the electric awning but just didn't want to risk that should something go wonky with it. I'm glad that they moved the forward arm on this though! Yep, it's definitely a very nice unit!

    This is awesome I really like these trailers, between Airstream, Lance, and Escape they’re a decent amount of similarities. Obviously airstream owned by Thor isn’t awesome. And Lance isn’t its own either so I like that about Escape! That aluminum frame is really cool! Torsion suspension they all share too. Really cool guys congrats! I recently learned that the EZ Lube axles need to be done annually and don’t just squeeze lube in the fitting, inspect them. Can’t wait to see more on it and see it towed by the truck!

    • @CozyLivingMachine

    • @CozyLivingMachine
      @CozyLivingMachine  8 дней назад +1

      We did look at them and made two videos on them actually! We decided against them for a few reasons, such as the OVR Navigate being the only unit that we saw with a bed at the front but only offering what amounts to an airgap for insulation while being aluminum exterior sheeted, not great in the cold and heat and being in the PNW we wanted to avoid, along with using materials that weren't great for the price. A lot of MDF and particleboard in the construction, which was unfortunate. They're pretty nice units, but they didn't inspire the confidence that we were looking for at all.

      @@CozyLivingMachine makes sense. And the cabinet trim falls off the cabinets and has been doing it since 2018. I called them and they claimed they never heard of it. I was in a new unit during the summer and again at an indoor show and both had strips either on the ground or just missing on the cabinet door edges. Sad considering how well they are constructed otherwise!

    I like what you both say at 17:00. If anyone knows what they’re looking for based on experience, research and intelligence, it’s you both. I’m really looking forward to what this unlocks.
    Side question, it looked like your interior LED was slightly warm. Was it? The biggest take away for us during our last RV show walk through was the near 100% prevalence of stark cold white, undimmable LED. Every RV felt like a cafeteria. Shadowless, strobing. I was truly nauseated by the end of the day. I didn’t realize I was the last person on earth preferring incandescent or at least very convincing deep warm LEDs.

    • @CozyLivingMachine
      @CozyLivingMachine  9 дней назад

      Thank you!! Much appreciated there. And good eye! They are warm. I suspect the camera cooled them down a bit, but it is a nice, warm glow and they applied this consistently to all lights other than the bathroom light and the stove lamp, which I suspect would have much fewer options for color temperature. I know what you mean though!!

      I know it, it seems like a no brainer! This one offers a ton of room for outside things and we don't miss any outdoor storage bays at all. Granted, it transfers some weight to the tongue/truck, but not an issue for a 2500/3500.

      Because this unit has an enclosed underbelly, we added in the extra spray foam insulation underneath and it does have dual pane windows and the amount of insulation all around, I would say yes. However, being that there is no legal or common definition for four season RVs, it would be better to compare unit to unit. I have full confidence that it would meet or exceed most other units!

    Looks so good, competent, and reliable I'm afraid it's going to be boring and trouble free leaving you with nothing to report on. Tongue in cheek, I think you should have bought Winnebago and actually film the weak and failing areas and let us see W ordering you cease trashing the product you bought knowing ahead of time that it would fail and you were just buying it to discredit W's mfg techniques. But after a series of Big Box/Name Rv suppliers and the disappointing products, you deserve a pleasant home that's built to approach the acceptability customers deserve rather than the disappointment they have been subjected to and living with. Will be rewarding to watch you settle in and make it your cozy home. I suspect the big dinette will be 1/4 - 1/3 belonging to Sam and Colt as that would be similar to their bed area in Lenny.

    • @CozyLivingMachine

I do think that the Winnebago would have been much more interesting to people, but we both know how expensive they are for how little that you get quality wise. Maybe I can figure out how to buy one as an experiment and write it off. We're still figuring out the right bed placement for Sam and Colt, but I think we have something figured out after the first night...

    You know the bus build was cool but I can’t imagine that you could feel like a normal working person living in a bus. The build on a budget is just not what a build on a pro level can be. Especially dealing with all that window glass. Anyway number one for me is that no one is riding on the couch anymore. This Escape should be very comfortable with all the insulation, double pane non glass windows and 2 heating systems. I would think the heat pump heater would be a dryer heat than the propane? Gotta get that AC system built up for extra power. What about a generator mounted in the truck bed? Like a real quality one securely mounted. Glad the wait is over. A solid value for you money too.
