Fantastic, honest, detailed walk through of the beautiful Escape 21. We love our Escape, have owned it for nearly 9 years. As for the stairs, we've had zero problems with rust. Great review, thank you for showcasing this trailer.
Glad you liked it and we are so happy to hear you love your's. We really appreciate you sharing your real life experience. It's always great to hear from owners. Thanks for sharing and for watching.
We have a 2014 21' Escape and LOVE IT!!!!!!!! For two people its all you need and even works fine when the two grandkids join us. AWESOME company to work with as well. You can either buy a travel trailer or invest in one and with an Escape I think it's a good investment.
Awesome! this is great to hear. We love hearing from owner's and their experiences. We are sure you are having so much fun in your Escape and we agree everyone at the company was really accommodating and easy to work with. Enjoy your travels. Thanks for watching
15 years owning and repairing three Casita travel trailers which are pretty nice but my buddy picked up an Escape and i was sold if i ever buy another glass trailer....... The biggest draw for me besides being glass is the tandem axle..... As a prof. trucker the last 30 years i know the advantage of two axles vs one axle in tires heating up and failing... plus you can always chain up a spindle that may go bad where a single axle your done,,,,,, The rest of the trailer inside and out is first class in my opinion
Oh that's so great to hear. We agree we prefer 2 axles as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience and for watching. We will keep our fingers crossed that next time it will be an Escape for you.
Another great Escape review, and more details we haven’t seen before. We appreciate you guys doing such a great job presenting these trailers. We look forward to your next adventure. Be well and stay safe. Tricia and John
We are so happy you are liking this series of videos. We really enjoyed learning about and filming the Escapes. We are looking forward to a new adventure sometime soon too. (Go away covid!) We've been getting Penelope ready! Stay tuned. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the honest tour. No dry bath. No ducted AC (means bathroom will be a steamroom/sauna in heat areas. Options means more money ($10,000 worth in this case).
Glad you enjoyed the tour. You are able to get a nice sized window in the bathroom to help with ventilation and options only mean more money when they are additions to an RV that has been made generically. With Escape you are customizing the trailer. You start with a base shell then you build the rest the way you want. So instead of being forced to pay for things you don't want or need, like you do in the generic build, you get to choose what you spend your money on and may even be saving on a better built trailer. You get to choose. Hope that helps you understand the difference between options on. a custom RV vs options on a generic RV. Thanks for watching
Ya we don't always think of it that way but nothing comes for free. Hang on Escape is coming out with a 23 which can have a walk around bed. We are waiting patiently to get an opportunity to show it to you. Thanks for watching
If we were 30+ years younger, this would win, hands down! But over 60 I like a bigger bed and room to get around it and a bigger shower. Everything else is perfect! You would get into any national park in this one!!
We hear you. This is the perfect trailer for the right person and right RV Lifestyle. You absolutely can put this trailer in all of those cramped spaces no problem. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for watching.
The Escape was one of our top fiberglass camper picks but we ended up going with the Airstream Nest only because of logistics. Great review and love your new hairstyle!
Thanks and yes the options are huge with an Escape trailer. It's because you really are ordering the exact trailer you want. So many choices. Thanks for watching.
Thanks so much for the thorough review! We are getting ready to buy our first trailer and have gone back and forth between Lance and Casita. Like Goldilocks and the 3 bears, I think that Escape 21C is going to be our "Just Right." Appreciated seeing so many options in real life.
Love the light weight and features plus quality material of this trailer as seen in your very informative video. My hard stop was on the wet bath. I wonder if an option would be to have a separate shower?
My buddy has a Bigfoot, similar in size to this unit. If Bigfoot won't let you film then buddy up to someone in a campground as you travel or and review it. Also ask Bigfoot if they will release the name of someone near you who owns one and is willing to let you look at it. Film it with their permission.There might be one for sale near you. Nice reviews. You do an awesome job. Camera man(hubby) is also terrific.
Yes we would love to film a Big Foot. We were very impressed as we took a plant tour. We aren't sure why he will not let us come back to film the units when they are finished but we don't make friends by being annoying so yes we will look for one on a dealership lot as we do with all other models/brands. We have on occasion done an owner's perspective video and we would be happy to do it again. Don't worry we are keeping our eyes open all of the time for an opportunity. It is a tremendous amount of work for us to do all of the research on a unit only to put it away because we can't film so we will pull out the research the moment we can. We are glad you like our reviews. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for watching.
@@DoesSizeMatter My friend lives in High Point, N.C.. This is central N.C. off the I 40 interstate corridor. His is 21 feet. and about 3 years old.. If you like I can put him in touch with you.
@@williambranham6249 Thanks for the offer but since we are so far away and have no idea when we will be anywhere at this point we are planning to let folks know on IG or in the YT community tab when we are in a particular area and if we are ready to film an owner's perspective video. We just can't plan any more closely than that. Thanks for the offer and we hope it works out.
Damn, I'm seeing red flags with this. A lot of options that are standard on competitor camper trailers. I like it, but after hearing the price point, it seems like they are using standard equipment as options to drive up the mrsp. There are comparable trailers (size/length) with the so called options as standard equipment, plus a dry bath, and tv included, all for a lower mrsp. If this was at least competitively priced, I could deal with with wet bath to have the layout, but with lower priced, better equipped competitors, this is a no go for sure.
Over $10-K in options? It seem that everything on this coach is an "option". I see a fiberglass trailer with a few LED lights thrown in. Sprayfoam the bottom and tanks is an option? ridiculous. Everything else is "optional", as is my inclination to buy
Glad you like it. This one will last a long time and would be easy to tow. There is a larger one coming out soon that will have a dry bath. Stay tuned for it. Thanks for watching.
I like the abundant storage compartments, huge cubic foot fridge, and stove. However the bathroom seems way too small. Price is very reasonable considering its fiberglass shell. Do they offer different floor plans and more solar power upgrades?
Agreed, it is a small bathroom but it is a small trailer and you still get a bathroom. They for sure offer different floor plans which you can check out here on our channel because we have reviewed them all and their solar options can be found by clicking the link in the video description to their website and you are right they are competitively priced for a well built fiberglass trailer. Thanks for watching
Yes you are right about that, we usually do but missed it on this one. We will get the guys at Escape to clarify that point for you. Thanks for watching.
My question is where would you bring the trailer for any warranty work it may need? I would be more interested in the newer 23' model. Well within the towing range of my vehicle and it ahs the benefit of either twin beds or walk around bed.
Hi Gerard, we have a dedicated Parts & Service team to help with warranty work. First step would be to give us a call and we can help you to troubleshoot the issue. If this doesn't work, the next step would be to take the trailer to your local RV repair shop (although we require an estimate for repairs before you go get the work done). As much as Escape Trailers are unique, most of the components are ubiquitous across the industry so most shops will be able to do the work.
We prefer a walk around bed too but in these small trailers you can't have it all. You always have to give up something to get something else and there are so many other great things in this one. It's all about wants, needs and priorities. Thanks for watching
I’m exploring my options and fell in love with the Casita trailers, only to fall quickly out of love upon learning their factory is US based. I think my new love is the Escape!
We have not had the opportunity to research the Casita but yes we do believe they are US. Escape is wonderful and we believe very comparable. A great little trailer. Thanks for watching
Trish- thank you for this wonderful walk through! At the moment, we are looking for a small camper with a bathroom. Will Escape option a composting toilet in their smaller campers? I really like the winterizing options. Some day I may look for a model like this 21C, that can extend my outdoor experiences in New Hampshire. With a composting toilet, tank heat pads and under carriage spray foam, that sounds very doable. I also like that , for a shipping fee, Escape would ship to New England. ~ Diane
Glad you liked it. I do believe that a composting or maybe a cassette toilet is an option but I would encourage you to contact them for the most up to date details on that. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
Wow this is beautiful. Did I miss the option of it being 4 seasons? That would be the only way that I would buy one. I’m not sure how long into the winter we will be camping but I do love cold weather camping. ❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!
The options you can have to use the Escape into colder weather is a spray foam insulation covering over the underbelly and you can have heat mats applied to the tanks. They already come standard with thermo pane windows (except for the front one). Hope that helps you out. We don't love cold weather camping but up here you never know when the temps will drop on you and these features will help to extend your season for sure. Thanks for watching.
@@josea.acevedo308 As we mentioned you can get the underbelly enclosed to extend your season. We have done all of our research for Big Foot and even done a factory tour but we just can't seem to convince them to let us come film. They are located very close to our home base so the minute they say we can come film we will be on it. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching.
There are many options to choose from that's one of the great things about the Escape trailers is you have so many different choices to make your trailer whatever you want it to be. Remember what you like others won't and vice versa. Thanks for watching
An Idea. Since so many of your target market are seniors why dont you design one with them in mind. give up some space to make the bathroom bigger and make the bed a walkaround?
We don't have any control over the floor plan choices Escape trailers makes but we do know that they are coming out with a larger floor plan with a dry bath in the next couple of months. We can't wait to show it to folks. Also we have a very broad range of viewers to our channel. Different types of RVs appeal to different target markets and we certainly don't focus on one particular group as we love servicing all of our viewers regardless of their age. As we always say 'there is a Right RV out there for everyone' and we aim to help folks find it. Thanks for watching
We always share our reviews in an unbiased way as there is no perfect rv. It's all about finding the one that fits your personal wants, needs and priorities and our channel has sooo many for you to look at so check them out and remember what one person considers a flaw is just the perfect feature for someone else. Thanks for watching
We hear you but it all depends on where and when you are staying in your trailer. It's not so much about hook ups or not. Tanks and fixtures that are not kept warm can still freeze even when you have hook ups. For these trailers you do have the option of heating the tanks and insulating them with an all covering spray on insulation. So if you are planning to use the trailer in cooler climates with or without hook ups it would help. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
We know it is so fantastic to have so many choices to make your trailer exactly what you are looking for. You only pay for the things you want. Escape is one of the few that give you so much control over your purchase. Thanks for watching.
It is a very nice trailer and not so much that everything is an option but that having an Escape trailer is having a custom trailer. They don't force you into the packages of the big manufacturers, you get to choose what you want. It is factory direct you won't find these on dealership's lots. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
We appreciate you spending your time with us. Thank goodness there are so many RV choices out there so everyone can find the one that suits them. Thanks for watching.
I respect the factory direct, but, it is the requirement of multiple travel trips to negotiate the build. I am not looking `forward to towing over the mountains to pickup the purchase
There is no need for you to make multiple trips to the factory for your custom build, unless you want to. Escape is very proficient at working with their customers personally and directly through video and telephone conversations. They even have folks throughout N.A. that help new buyers by showing them other owners trailers in their area. You would not have to tow over the mountains to pick up your trailer either as Escape will work with you to arrange delivery to wherever you are or maybe just over the mountains for you. It is a very flexible and personalized service where you take part in as many of the decisions as you want. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
You are right there are tonnes of choices. It is so great and personalized. You can check out their website (the link is in the description) to see all of your choices and the standard stuff too. A lot of the standard stuff still has choices as well, like obviously you get plug ins but you can choose where they go, stuff like that. Glad you like it. thanks for watching
We have not yet researched the Oliver so we can't speak to its price or build quality to determine which one is the better value. Have you? If you have please send us your research and resources to doessizematter99@gmail.com Comparisons can never be made without all the facts but we shall see right? At this point we don't know that we would want the Oliver for the same price but once we take a look at your resources to make a detailed comparison we will know more. Looking forward to receiving it. Thanks for watching
Haha but you are wrong. You get the superior construction and engineering of the shell body and systems and floor plans, then you get the luxury of completely customizing the small details to make the trailer exactly what you are looking for so that you don't pay for things that you don't want or are not important to you. That's the beauty of a factory direct purchase you aren't forced into spending and you get exactly what you want.
That would be a great idea but we have not seen it as an option. Give them a call or send an email they would absolutely talk about it with you. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
In this particular situation we can't agree with you. These are trailers you can really customize but they are not one offs. The construction quality is always there and then they allow the buyer to personalize the choices. If the manufacturer went ahead and made all of the decisions for the buyer and then calculated the price of each of those options into the trailer, the price would still be the same in the end, the buyer just wouldn't get a choice on what they want to save or spend on. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
This is a great trailer and I get what you mean but what it actually is is a custom trailer. They make each one exactly the way the customer wants so you can make it your own. Other manufacturers that don't do this are mass producing with only a small percentage of what they make being done for specific customers so there is so much less choice. Also other manufacturers will combine their options into packages and then the customer can choose to add the package or not but still doesn't get to pick each thing as a detail. Some folks like the choice others want it made for them. All depends on what you are looking for. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
The workmanship on an Escape trailer is actually very good. Nothing is perfect but once you have done as much research as we have and compared as many RVs as we have we are confident you would change your opinion, because you must remember to say in your comments that what you are writing is just your opinion as facts need to be backed up by research and verified by us. Any facts you would like us to take a look at can be emailed to us.
You might be misunderstanding what is meant by an option, it is the ability to customize your trailer. So it gives you the choice to save money or spend money and get things exactly the way you want it. A choice we don't see buyer's getting very often. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
For a trailer of this size it is not unusual to have a wet bath although we agree a dry bath would be nice which Escape is coming out with soon. The price is not bad when you compare to other fiberglass shell trailers, otherwise you can't compare these to other types of trailers for many reasons but we always say there is a right RV out there for everyone. Thanks for watching.
We aren't sure why you think the options are so expensive? The Toyota does have 35 options they are just called 'included' and calculated into the price you pay and forced on you and then they offer you 'extras' which they mark up even more and they try to make you feel like your Toyota is more special then everyone else's if you are willing to pay the high extras price. With these trailers the buyer gets the choice to save or spend on items even as far as where they go but they get to choose. It's not just a buyer choosing to spend it can also be about a buyer choosing to save.
Big deal do you buy a BMW for a 89000.00 paid in full and waite year to pick it up not going to happen. You get 30 days for delivery . I'll buy used pay go
You certainly always have the option to buy used, if you can find one. Used Escape trailers are hard to come by and the company itself helps owners to resell their trailers so watch their site carefully to get one. Unfortunately, the used market doesn't have much for good stock in it right now as lots of folks don't want to wait the standard wait times of any manufacturer. Unfortunately, as consumers we are just caught up in the supply and demand problem. As we don't deal in the car market we can't really say but we do know that the truck market is suffering the same kinds of wait times due to difficulty getting parts and the huge increase in demand. Hope that helps you to understand. Thanks for watching
We have not yet reviewed the Oliver to do an actual comparison but from what we do know these are very comparably built trailers so if the price on the Escape is less we would call it a win and a money saver. These trailers are for sure not a money trap as they stand the test of time over and over. We do find that when we see comments like this it is usually from someone biased who knows very little about an Escape trailer and has a financial gain to make by pushing buyers to an Oliver. If you have real factual information to support your opinion we would be happy to review it.
Haha, we didn't think it was too bad. Penelope is the same, not our favourite bed arrangement but there are other choices and it all boils down to your wants, needs and priorities. Which things do you want more of and what are you willing to give up? Thanks for watching
We have heard no complaints or problems with the arm being a tripping hazard so we can't call something a problem if no one is having a problem with it. The Escape trailers meet all safety standards and are very well built and very popular trailers so no reason to create fear where none exists. Thanks for watching
It all depends on what you are comparing it to. Did check out the price on the Nest we reviewed? It was smaller and a 3 piece fiberglass unit. Check it out you may change your mind if you are comparing apples to apples.
Just like the bigfoots and northern lites, one big bathtub when you have a leak. These are ugly and old looking, I'd never consider one. I don't get the hype
Wow that’s a lot of money for not at of trailer? Not to mention not a very well built trailer. Those Canadians are surly proud of there lil trailer! But good job on the review , ill give her a thumbs up! Thumbs down on the trailer.
It is a higher priced trailer in comparison to most travel trailers but it is actually competitively priced to other similar fiberglass trailers. You must remember to compare apples to apples. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
We would have to disagree with you on that point. Have you watched the construction video and done the research on fiberglass trailers? It will probably help you to learn about the quality level more. Check it out here ruclips.net/video/wt5gN-pqmY8/видео.html Thanks for watching.
Always nice to see this rep doing her reviews. Very professional. I do have to ask... what is your height? 5'1? I'm 6'1 and wonder how well I would fit in some of these vehicles.
Haha, I am not a rep for Escape Trailers. Our channel is completely unbiased and we are not paid in any way by any manufacturer or dealership. We are sharing our honest opinion and the knowledge we have. We super happy you are liking our reviews. I am 5' tall. There are for sure RVs that have taller ceilings then others and we always include those details in the numbers section of our reviews. Hope that helps and you can find something in one of our reviews that suits you. Thanks for watching
Check the section titled 'The Numbers' you can find it by scrolling through the video to the heading or by clicking on the timestamp link in the video description. Hope that helps.
This is a good woman. You know she totally takes care of business.

Very nice trailer, too bad though, they did not design it with a walk around bed. That bed would be a hassle to climb in and out of.
We prefer a walk around bed too but in these small trailers you can't have it all. You always have to give up something to get something else and there are so many other great things in this one. It's all about wants, needs and priorities. Thanks for watching

We have not had the opportunity to research the Casita but yes we do believe they are US. Escape is wonderful and we believe very comparable. A great little trailer. Thanks for watching
Why have a cold space under the bed?
Not sure sure about exposed drain pipes , wires and water tank. Doesn't take much to freeze up exposed drain valves.
We hear you about that and they do offer the option to insulate the area. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
Trish- thank you for this wonderful walk through! At the moment, we are looking for a small camper with a bathroom. Will Escape option a composting toilet in their smaller campers?
I really like the winterizing options. Some day I may look for a model like this 21C, that can extend my outdoor experiences in New Hampshire. With a composting toilet, tank heat pads and under carriage spray foam, that sounds very doable. I also like that , for a shipping fee, Escape would ship to New England. ~ Diane
Glad you liked it. I do believe that a composting or maybe a cassette toilet is an option but I would encourage you to contact them for the most up to date details on that. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
Wow this is beautiful. Did I miss the option of it being 4 seasons? That would be the only way that I would buy one. I’m not sure how long into the winter we will be camping but I do love cold weather camping. ❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!
The options you can have to use the Escape into colder weather is a spray foam insulation covering over the underbelly and you can have heat mats applied to the tanks. They already come standard with thermo pane windows (except for the front one). Hope that helps you out. We don't love cold weather camping but up here you never know when the temps will drop on you and these features will help to extend your season for sure. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful video and trailer.. too bad it isn't fully enclosed. Are you going to also do a video on the Bigfoot travel trailer?
@@josea.acevedo308 As we mentioned you can get the underbelly enclosed to extend your season. We have done all of our research for Big Foot and even done a factory tour but we just can't seem to convince them to let us come film. They are located very close to our home base so the minute they say we can come film we will be on it. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for your response!!!
@Mark Miller I’ll look them up. Thanks.
By any chance do you have a tung weight
It comes in at 366lbs. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
That flooring! Who’s idea was that? Are there other options I hope?
There are many options to choose from that's one of the great things about the Escape trailers is you have so many different choices to make your trailer whatever you want it to be. Remember what you like others won't and vice versa. Thanks for watching
An Idea. Since so many of your target market are seniors why dont you design one with them in mind. give up some space to make the bathroom bigger and make the bed a walkaround?
We don't have any control over the floor plan choices Escape trailers makes but we do know that they are coming out with a larger floor plan with a dry bath in the next couple of months. We can't wait to show it to folks. Also we have a very broad range of viewers to our channel. Different types of RVs appeal to different target markets and we certainly don't focus on one particular group as we love servicing all of our viewers regardless of their age. As we always say 'there is a Right RV out there for everyone' and we aim to help folks find it. Thanks for watching
I think I'll shop for a different trailer. this one has too many "not my favorite"s. thanks for pointing out the many flaws.
We always share our reviews in an unbiased way as there is no perfect rv. It's all about finding the one that fits your personal wants, needs and priorities and our channel has sooo many for you to look at so check them out and remember what one person considers a flaw is just the perfect feature for someone else. Thanks for watching
Anyone have problems with off gassing?
IMHO, tanks should be in a heated area in case you are away from hookups.
We hear you but it all depends on where and when you are staying in your trailer. It's not so much about hook ups or not. Tanks and fixtures that are not kept warm can still freeze even when you have hook ups. For these trailers you do have the option of heating the tanks and insulating them with an all covering spray on insulation. So if you are planning to use the trailer in cooler climates with or without hook ups it would help. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
Options Options Options..
We know it is so fantastic to have so many choices to make your trailer exactly what you are looking for. You only pay for the things you want. Escape is one of the few that give you so much control over your purchase. Thanks for watching.
Seems like everything is an option. But nice rig
It is a very nice trailer and not so much that everything is an option but that having an Escape trailer is having a custom trailer. They don't force you into the packages of the big manufacturers, you get to choose what you want. It is factory direct you won't find these on dealership's lots. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
How tall are you?
5' tall hope that helps. Thanks for watching
Thank you for the video- great job at pointing out the details- As for the trailer, I think I'll pass. - sending much love to you both.
We appreciate you spending your time with us. Thank goodness there are so many RV choices out there so everyone can find the one that suits them. Thanks for watching.
I respect the factory direct, but, it is the requirement of multiple travel trips to negotiate the build. I am not looking `forward to towing over the mountains to pickup the purchase
There is no need for you to make multiple trips to the factory for your custom build, unless you want to. Escape is very proficient at working with their customers personally and directly through video and telephone conversations. They even have folks throughout N.A. that help new buyers by showing them other owners trailers in their area. You would not have to tow over the mountains to pick up your trailer either as Escape will work with you to arrange delivery to wherever you are or maybe just over the mountains for you. It is a very flexible and personalized service where you take part in as many of the decisions as you want. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
Lots of ‘options’…what is standard?
You are right there are tonnes of choices. It is so great and personalized. You can check out their website (the link is in the description) to see all of your choices and the standard stuff too. A lot of the standard stuff still has choices as well, like obviously you get plug ins but you can choose where they go, stuff like that. Glad you like it. thanks for watching
50 g's in Canadian dollars, u could get an Oliver for the same price.
We have not yet researched the Oliver so we can't speak to its price or build quality to determine which one is the better value. Have you? If you have please send us your research and resources to doessizematter99@gmail.com Comparisons can never be made without all the facts but we shall see right? At this point we don't know that we would want the Oliver for the same price but once we take a look at your resources to make a detailed comparison we will know more. Looking forward to receiving it. Thanks for watching
Oliver starts at 60k, check out the website.
Wait 2023 models start at 65,500..
Is there anything that isn’t an option?
I’m guessing without options you get a cot and pail.
Haha but you are wrong. You get the superior construction and engineering of the shell body and systems and floor plans, then you get the luxury of completely customizing the small details to make the trailer exactly what you are looking for so that you don't pay for things that you don't want or are not important to you. That's the beauty of a factory direct purchase you aren't forced into spending and you get exactly what you want.
I wonder if you can special request aluminum stairs? I like it!
That would be a great idea but we have not seen it as an option. Give them a call or send an email they would absolutely talk about it with you. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Sorry Pamela, the steel stairs are the only ones that we carry.
An easy install
Options is also another way of saying overpriced when things are included means less price
In this particular situation we can't agree with you. These are trailers you can really customize but they are not one offs. The construction quality is always there and then they allow the buyer to personalize the choices. If the manufacturer went ahead and made all of the decisions for the buyer and then calculated the price of each of those options into the trailer, the price would still be the same in the end, the buyer just wouldn't get a choice on what they want to save or spend on. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
I like this trailer, but it seems just about everything is an option.
This is a great trailer and I get what you mean but what it actually is is a custom trailer. They make each one exactly the way the customer wants so you can make it your own. Other manufacturers that don't do this are mass producing with only a small percentage of what they make being done for specific customers so there is so much less choice. Also other manufacturers will combine their options into packages and then the customer can choose to add the package or not but still doesn't get to pick each thing as a detail. Some folks like the choice others want it made for them. All depends on what you are looking for. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
Talk about shody workmanship! I see so many issues just waiting to happen when in real use.
The workmanship on an Escape trailer is actually very good. Nothing is perfect but once you have done as much research as we have and compared as many RVs as we have we are confident you would change your opinion, because you must remember to say in your comments that what you are writing is just your opinion as facts need to be backed up by research and verified by us. Any facts you would like us to take a look at can be emailed to us.
@@DoesSizeMatter Then you had better be a good handy person when the workmanshipp fails .
@@scottfoster2487 Haha ya, all RVs require the owner to be a little handy but at least with an Escape you will have to do less.
Window in bathroom is an option? Too many items are called options! Ridiculous!
You might be misunderstanding what is meant by an option, it is the ability to customize your trailer. So it gives you the choice to save money or spend money and get things exactly the way you want it. A choice we don't see buyer's getting very often. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
The bathroom is the problem with this unit. Not worth the money. Nice otherwise.
For a trailer of this size it is not unusual to have a wet bath although we agree a dry bath would be nice which Escape is coming out with soon. The price is not bad when you compare to other fiberglass shell trailers, otherwise you can't compare these to other types of trailers for many reasons but we always say there is a right RV out there for everyone. Thanks for watching.
can you imagine if you bought a car with 35 options a Toyota would be $75,000
We aren't sure why you think the options are so expensive? The Toyota does have 35 options they are just called 'included' and calculated into the price you pay and forced on you and then they offer you 'extras' which they mark up even more and they try to make you feel like your Toyota is more special then everyone else's if you are willing to pay the high extras price. With these trailers the buyer gets the choice to save or spend on items even as far as where they go but they get to choose. It's not just a buyer choosing to spend it can also be about a buyer choosing to save.
Very personalized and very expensive
It is indeed very personalized but expensive depends on what you are comparing it to? Thanks for watching
Big deal do you buy a BMW for a 89000.00 paid in full and waite year to pick it up not going to happen. You get 30 days for delivery .
I'll buy used pay go
You certainly always have the option to buy used, if you can find one. Used Escape trailers are hard to come by and the company itself helps owners to resell their trailers so watch their site carefully to get one. Unfortunately, the used market doesn't have much for good stock in it right now as lots of folks don't want to wait the standard wait times of any manufacturer. Unfortunately, as consumers we are just caught up in the supply and demand problem. As we don't deal in the car market we can't really say but we do know that the truck market is suffering the same kinds of wait times due to difficulty getting parts and the huge increase in demand. Hope that helps you to understand. Thanks for watching
Looks like a budget Oliver, but without the benefits of being an Oliver. Money trap.
We have not yet reviewed the Oliver to do an actual comparison but from what we do know these are very comparably built trailers so if the price on the Escape is less we would call it a win and a money saver. These trailers are for sure not a money trap as they stand the test of time over and over. We do find that when we see comments like this it is usually from someone biased who knows very little about an Escape trailer and has a financial gain to make by pushing buyers to an Oliver. If you have real factual information to support your opinion we would be happy to review it.
Getting out of that bed.. ugh
Haha, we didn't think it was too bad. Penelope is the same, not our favourite bed arrangement but there are other choices and it all boils down to your wants, needs and priorities. Which things do you want more of and what are you willing to give up? Thanks for watching
Nope...that pnematic arm in the doorway floor is nothing but a trip hazard. I wonder what other safety issues exist?
We have heard no complaints or problems with the arm being a tripping hazard so we can't call something a problem if no one is having a problem with it. The Escape trailers meet all safety standards and are very well built and very popular trailers so no reason to create fear where none exists. Thanks for watching
$$$$$$$$$😄😃😂😅
It all depends on what you are comparing it to. Did check out the price on the Nest we reviewed? It was smaller and a 3 piece fiberglass unit. Check it out you may change your mind if you are comparing apples to apples.
Just like the bigfoots and northern lites, one big bathtub when you have a leak. These are ugly and old looking, I'd never consider one. I don't get the hype
Fiberglass bathtub vs cardboard and foam
@@tx68 I'm sure you mean fiberglass bathtub with cardboard walls and foam insulation....
uh the interior is ugly -
Don't forget to add, 'In your opinion' to your comments when they are not facts. Thanks for watching.
Wow that’s a lot of money for not at of trailer? Not to mention not a very well built trailer. Those Canadians are surly proud of there lil trailer! But good job on the review , ill give her a thumbs up! Thumbs down on the trailer.
It is a higher priced trailer in comparison to most travel trailers but it is actually competitively priced to other similar fiberglass trailers. You must remember to compare apples to apples. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching
Looks like low quality
We would have to disagree with you on that point. Have you watched the construction video and done the research on fiberglass trailers? It will probably help you to learn about the quality level more. Check it out here ruclips.net/video/wt5gN-pqmY8/видео.html Thanks for watching.
Always nice to see this rep doing her reviews. Very professional. I do have to ask... what is your height? 5'1? I'm 6'1 and wonder how well I would fit in some of these vehicles.
Haha, I am not a rep for Escape Trailers. Our channel is completely unbiased and we are not paid in any way by any manufacturer or dealership. We are sharing our honest opinion and the knowledge we have. We super happy you are liking our reviews. I am 5' tall. There are for sure RVs that have taller ceilings then others and we always include those details in the numbers section of our reviews. Hope that helps and you can find something in one of our reviews that suits you. Thanks for watching
The numbers and I didn't hear a price
Check the section titled 'The Numbers' you can find it by scrolling through the video to the heading or by clicking on the timestamp link in the video description. Hope that helps.
