Love this, and thank you so much for taking the time to do this Q&A! We enjoyed seeing you at the Overland West last weekend - and decided to buy the Topo2! Excellent, patient, and very informative (and friendly) team!

As I watch this the personality and culture of the Escapod comes through so clearly. It is a real testament to the vision, passion and commitment of the founders you have clearly surrounded yourselves with great people. I am so thankful you have let us all into your world. You guys are doing so much more than building a great product, you are bringing a great community of people together. We all need more of that in our lives.

So excited for all of you! This has been awesome watching from outside as you have brought this trailer to life. I've often said I think Topo 1 is the best possible version of the "classic" style teardrop you can get today. After seeing Topo 2 in person, all I can say is it's in a whole new class, in the best possible way. It's still a teardrop, but it is so much more than I think anyone could get out of a standard (wood) construction teardrop. We will continue to love our Topo 1 until we can get our Topo 2!

On your next video can you talk about the repair process for the Topo 2? In other words with the body mostly being one piece what happens if there is a minor fender bender? Can holes & cracks be repaired and if so to what quality?

For sure! We can add this to our next Q&A.

Two questions: 1. Where does the spare tire go? 2. Where do you ‘plug in’ the shower and mount the shower head?

@EscapodTrailers 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Kurt, the spare tire lives underneath the trailer itself! It can be lowered by using a crank just like you would a spare on a truck. For the shower hookup, there is an attachment point next to the cutting board (left hand side).

Can't wait to see you all and the Topo2 in few days at Expo! what are your ideas for a shower privacy tent? The storage cubbies above the counter in the kitchen how deep are they from front to back? The stock wheels, what is the offset and backspacing?

@EscapodTrailers 2 жыл бұрын

For a privacy tent, we've recommended the Green Elephant tent (available on Amazon), but there are many great options for privacy tents, including using the annex room & detaching the floor while you shower!

@EscapodTrailers 2 жыл бұрын

The storage cubbies in the galley are each 12.75" deep!

The offset for our standard wheels in 0!
