thanks... we have grown into it...and rather like it now.

totally agree

Is that canadian$?

I remember 35 CDN plus the extras we loaded it up with... eventually totally near $50,000 CND ($37,000-ish USD)

Super thanks Geoffrey... and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR 🥳

Thanks so much Jeff

thanks

super easy to pull and great fuel economy

Glad you enjoyed it!

Andrea Reeder how do you know I,m an Aeropress fan?

Thanks so much... enjoy the trailer... We still love ours

It's twice the price too.

not really... the price listed for the Escape is CDN$

You made me laugh out loud (with a soothing kinda laugh of course) :)

hey Jeffrey.. yes we do have the Andersen Hitch and love it... works great. Highly recommended for all the reason you stated. Plus... full function of the bed after hitch removed, and no grease or mess. Pulls like there is no trailer at all... what else could you asked for! Good luck with the Canyon... it will likely work great, however I recommend you talk to the Escape folks first.

Thanks. Also, do you guys use a wash machine like Nomadic Fanatic uses, like this one? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ht6nmLl3tbq3oHU.html ...I have been looking at pictures and videos of the 5.0 TA trying to see where I might stow one. He keeps his in his shower, but it looks like it might be in the way if just left where you walk into the bathroom on the 5.0 TA. Maybe one day you could do a video on the hatch above the 5th wheel bed. I am assuming it allows you to get on the roof easily, to clean the solar panel or whatever? Does it have a shade and screen like this hatch: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNGbddqrkpvKoWw.html Any plans to use that 2" hitch receiver on the back of trailer for a storage box or (electric) bicycle rack? Thanks for the info, I am in Upstate NY, trying to make contact with an owner not too far away in Massachusetts who has a 5.0 TA to see if he might show me his, but so far no luck... Thanks, Jeff

Thanks for sharing! It looks like you are towing with a half ton short bed truck, am I correct? Do you have any issues with clearance on tight turns? What about payload? Thanks in advance!

Sorry@@jeffreywoodin8549 ... we have never used any washer... we have always found a laundry somewhere every 2 weeks... usually at a private campground. A hand wash in the sink also works if needed. We try to keep the "extras" to a minimum.

We have a ½ ton 6'4" bed... and@@eptrade2323 it's close to perfect. Turns easy and no issues with tight turns and payload is not an issue at all.

craigsclocks 35,000 plus extras .... 50,000 CND (ish)

thecampologist That's doable and I guess trying to find one in my area maybe a little difficult. I live on the eastern shore ( Ocean City Maryland ) We have a Jayco XJ213 camper 2015 a king size bed pops out the backend.

We love it too... however I want to know what you would replace the shower head with? The currently one is simple and functional with an integrated on/off button for water consumption/management.

@@melindabishop7232 what is that for the people who don't know

Still have it and still love it.

michael andrews ... we loved it. Lots of power... never an issue. The fuel consumption was awesome (12.7 L/100kms average over 15000kms pulling trailer... closer to 8.5 not towing)... bottom line... the fuel consumption pulling was about the same as most v8’s when they are not pulling! Highly recommended.

we made it... shoe organizer with suction cups.

Thanks... and we use a Ram 1500 ecodiesel...

@@Campology im thinking of buying the same setup. What is your mileage while towing?

@@freisiandraugr2427 we get 9-10 L/100 not pulling and pulling we get 12-14

hottest was in Arizona... we went for a hike during the day...when we returned the candles melted! Coldest.... hummmm.... we have never camped colder than -5c... we don't want to have frozen water lines

curious and kinda funny... I was lounging on the bed watching a movie with my wife. After the movie I put up the table for breakfast in the morning. And likely we will put it down again tonight to lounge and relax... possible with a movie.

some are and some aren't'... I can tell you the standard features list change each year and to check out the current list I recommend you check out their website >> escapetrailer.com/trailers/the-5-0-escape/

Good luck with that... Escape trailers are in high demand and they only sell new ones direct from the factory ( escapetrailer.com ) Finding a second hand one under 8K will be very difficult. :(

we tortured ourself with the same decision... eventually it came down to a bit more space and better handling on the road.... plus you don't need a Heavy Duty truck.

Hey Shirley... it's starting at 30,000 USD according to their website >> escapetrailer.com/the-5-0-escape/

Hey Bill, I’m just an enthusiastic owner, I would recommend you contact the manufacturer,,, however I highly suspect it would be no problem at all.

James Nichols ... thanks... glad the video was helpful. Re the hitch, to my knowledge it is set correct. Yes or no... it pulls great 😁

From what I've read the hitch can face either direction it just changes the pivot point. The way your hitch is mounted shifts the pivot point forward. I have an EcoDiesel Crew Cab with the 5'7" bed so as long as I have sufficient pin box clearance, with the short bed, I need the pivot point more towards the rear. I also installed Air Lift 1000HDs to compensate for the additional load. @@Campology

You’ll love the Anderson Hitch.... pulls awesome and super easy to remove, the bed of the truck is 100% usable,,,, and NO grease!

I’m not sure, it’s been 2 years. However with all the options we paid 45,000 CAN. Here is the link to the webpage >> escapetrailer.com/the-5-0-escape/

Aunt Belinda ... our trailer has the additional insulation that was provided by Escape Trailer Industries Ltd, it also has a foam under coat, so it is essentially winterized. It’s also super cool in the hot days of summer. The insulation works well on both hot and cold days.. It can’t be considered fully winterized, because the water pipes nor the tanks are heated.I don’t remember the type of insulation that was provided, but it does work well. I suggest you call Escape Trailer Industries Ltd directly, they were very responsive to us when we had any questions. Good luck.

Scamps are good too. Both retain resale value over other types of trailers.

Yepper! Thanks

we are using a Ram Ecodiesel... and get between 12-13 L/100km

Storytelling In Motion I would think so,,, we thought about it, but choose not too. All it would take is some imagination and a little handyman know how.

I like the Scamp 19 5th wheel floor plan. The loft area seems more private and separate. Were you able to compare when looking into fiberglass campers?

Storytelling In Motion we camped for a week with a couple who owned the scamp... by the years end they sold their scamp and bought the escape. They thought it was an upgrade all around.

With the current exchange rate, they cost about $35,000, depending on what options you want.

We paid 35,000 CDN plus taxes and options... checkout their website for the lasted prices >> escapetrailer.com/the-5-0-escape/

Very similar... I have met Scamp owners who think an Escape is a "step up" in quality". However, I would suggest you compare yourself and decide based on your needs.

I looked at a couple Scamps when I was on a road trip, units about 8 to 10 years old. My Escape was 12 years old. The Scamps didn’t seem to age as well, the fibreglass seemed thinner, more spider cracks and chips. We’re ordering a new Escape 19 soon!

we like it eh

😂

That decision was mostly Tracy's. We decided to change our meal planning to go "oven-less"... mostly to save the space, but secondly to simplify our life on the road. As is turned out... is was the right choice for us. If we really wanted fresh baked goods... we hoped on the bike and headed to the bakery... It's a personal thing.

Thanks for checking in, I recommend contacting the Manufacturer.

Nothing... we own. 😂

Phil O ... so far so good. I do hope your are wrong 😀💩😀

I'm 6'0 and no problem sitting up.. my 6"5" friends tested it and worked, although tight. The door lock is a standard small bolt plus a spring lock... the solar panel is used all the time... love it... hate the grunts of a generator.... finally... no coffee maker... I used the www.aeropress.ca... best coffee ever and small and light.

funny thing ,,, that’s what we first thought. However we have learned to like it. 😃

Thanks... we have learned to like the Oak...

Funny thing Grampa and Gramas cupboards are still in one piece because oak

Nope, too much Oak. When I bought my house 20 yrs ago I went Oak crazy. There is a lot of Oak in my house. I have it toned down a bit now with some neutral colors and it is nice I think. This Trailer is very well made, modernist construction. It should have a more up to date interior I think. That being said, I really like your trailer and your personal touches help a lot.

Shandele Broyles darn... sorry to hear that. I try to make the videos shappy to save folks from watching super long boring stuff. Your comment is noted and appreciated.

You have the right idea but I agree, too fast. Your camera work is very good and your narration is excellent. You have a great voice but a constructive criticism is to provide more detail. You are obviously intelligent people and we would like to benefit from your insight and planning.

all about choices... we thought the same thing originally. After a couple of years with her... we love it and it all still works for us.
