Really helpful video, thank you. Long on information, short on unnecessary hype--let the trailer build quality do the talking, just right, greatly appreciated. Safe and happy travels.

I have an Escape 17B, I plan to buy an Escape Firth wheel for retirement which is still a ways off. After owning previous stick frame trailers that continually leaked, my wife will only buy an Escape. These are awesome trailers, small, but awesome.

Hey Bruce..love your channel as I am really interested the Escape 5th wheel. Question : During the ordering process did you get the extra spray foam insulation option (underneath and body)? Could you live in this RV during the winter? Happy trails!

@Campology 4 жыл бұрын

Hey John, sorry for the late response (super late really)... and yes we got the foam under insulation and yes we would camping in the winter... however without heated pipes... we would do it "winterized" the trailing is warm enough, and in fact very comfortable. We also ordered extra insulation in the walls during the build. BONUS... it also remains cooling during the hot summer days too.

I'm really curious about your Countertop, Table and Cushion color/pattern. I have not seen that more modern pattern/color. Was that a factory option? It's a vast improvement over that yellow/brown you see in most Escapes.

We thought so too... the top is Formica (Additional $100) Graphite Twill 8829-58... we liked it and still like it....

Hi there, I just love the Escape 5.0TA 5th wheel travel trailer. I’m curious as to what hitch you installed in your truck bed? Also when trailer is hitched up, what clearance do you have between top of truck bed and bottom of Escape 5.0 clamshell over truck bed. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

@Campology 2 жыл бұрын

We used the Anderson hitch and highly recommend it... re clearance... heck if I know. We never load too much in the bed of the truck and definitely nothing past the height of the box

@kevinholland4156 5 жыл бұрын

Who helped you install the hitch in your truck? Did Escape give you the placement directions for the hitch height? I thought they had a delivery to the USA.

@Campology 5 жыл бұрын

We bought and had the Anderson Hitch installed in Chilliwack BC... just down the road from Escape Trailers. The place was TradeMaster Automotive. The price was fair and quality of service was good. We travelled 5,000 kms to get to Chilliwack... so it was nice to get it sorted out "locally"... so if there was any issue with the coupling of the 5th wheel it could be sorted out there. However there were no problems..... BTW we love the Anderson Hitch!

Wondering did escape include the 5 th wheel hitch ,if not did they recommend the correct unit to purchase?

@Campology 4 жыл бұрын

There is no "correct" unit...any 5th wheel hitch will do. However some are better than others. We did our research and eventually choose the Anderson Hitch.... and love it. The Escape folks recommended a Hitch installer near their factory. We bought it and had it installed by them.

Hi, my wife and I ordered the Escape 5.0TA which will be ready in October 2021. We also just bought a pre-owned 2019 Ram 1500 Hemi 5.7L with a 5 ft 7inch bed. Will towing the 5.0TA be a problem? I noticed you also have a Ram, what model is it and are you having any towing issues... loved your video.

@Campology 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Arnoldo, we have a Ram Eco Diesel… and it pulls so well we have to check our speed regularly because it’s so easy to forget you are pulling a trailer. 😁

@arnaldoscachetti3558 3 жыл бұрын

What hitch are you using to pull your 5.0TA?

We have the Anderson Hitch… costs a bit more but worth it in our opinion.

We see by your Dec 28, 2017 video that you have a 4-hook Umbra Hook between the bathroom door and the corner. Where did you find the 4-hook Umbra, or did you cut down a 5-hook? We have only been able to find 3's, 5's and 8's. Thanks a lot. We are getting our 5.0 late June and are looking forward to it!!!

Do you think my Honda Ridgeline with 5K max capacity is sufficient to pull this? What a great video, thank you for sharing... Enjoy the good life and happy New Year!!!

@Campology 6 жыл бұрын

Siman ... it should work however it would be pushing the limits of your truck. Likely a truck upgrade or a smaller escape trailer would couple best. Happy trails.

@Siman727 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the feedback!! I really love fifth wheel idea after seeing your video. What would be an ideal truck with a decent MPG for this trailer? I would prefer to go as small as possible :)

@Campology 6 жыл бұрын

Hey Siman,,, any ½ ton with work great. However we choose the EcoDiesel for the great gas mileage. I know that many successfully pull the 5.0TA with the Toyota Tacoma or the Nissan Frontier.... good like with the decision it's not easy with so many great choices.

@powercat100 6 жыл бұрын

The biggest tow capacities are Ford and Chevy. Dodge or Toyota don't compare. My rule of thumb after towing trailers for decades is I want twice the max weight of whatever i am towing for the tow capacity of the truck. So I'm looking for a 1/2 ton truck with a 10,000# tow capacity or more for our eventual purchase of a 5.0TA. That rule of thumb will get me over the Rockies on a two lane road without everyone behind me cursing!

@rbstorms 6 жыл бұрын

Siman - As much as I like the Ridgeline, there are problems with using it as a 5th wheel tow vehicle. The biggest is weight capacity. 5,000 lbs is really light for a 5th wheel, but then you need to also consider all of the stuff you'll be carrying in it AND your truck AND the weight of yourself and any passengers. You'll quickly exceed the trucks max Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (look for that on a sticker on your truck). You can check this article for someone who does it anyway. :) www.ridgelineownersclub.com/forums/33-racks-hitches-towing/667-fifth-wheel-towing.html Good Luck sir.
