    E19 Door Latch

    The door latch on our E19 has a small problem. The deadbolt will not actuate. Removed the Torques screws today to have a look. That did not really help me so I was going to remove the whole latch assembly. Hmm. apparently I have to remove the 4 black posts that have small internal springs to...

    Power issues

    I recently went camping in a site with full services. When I plugged in the 30 amp cord, I still had no 120 volts in the trailer. The green light was on the plug and the connection to the trailer, so I'm assuming there was power at the station. I have since checked the inverter and it does...

    Dual tank propane wing nut keeps loosening

    Finishing our first 3 week trip in our trailer. The last few days our propane tank holder wing nut has been loosening such that we need to tighten it at every gas stop. Would appreciate recommendations to prevent this issue. (Have people added a lock washer?)

    Lift kit needed for WA and BC ferries?

    We're finishing up our final details on our build sheet and wondering about the lift kit. Does the Escape 21 have any problems loading and unloading from the various ferries around Seattle, the San Juan Islands and the Canadian BC ferries? Is there enough clearance for anything on the...

    Escape 19 Queen Bed Replacement

    Has anyone replaced their stock queen bed in a 19 with a memory foam mattress (something like a Nectar)? Ours has a rear u-shape dinette that we're going to be putting down into a permanent bed and are looking at different mattresses. Just wondering if others have had good luck with certain brands.

    Install Furnace Access Panel

    The furnace in my Escape 19 has been problematic since I purchased the trailer in 2017. I have had the sail switch replaced once and that fix lasted a year or so. Now the furnace exhibited sail switch symptoms and now blows the fuse every time the thermostat calls for heat. Pulling the furnace...

    Bumper Receiver Hitch Reinforcement

    Saturday, my welder had some time in his schedule to fabricate a design I came up with to improve the strength of the rear receiver hitch. I have a hitch mounted Stowaway brand swing-away cargo box that when loaded will weigh in just under 150lbs. I don't intend to exceed the 150lb limit of...

    State license & registration, Canada delivery

    I’m hoping some of you who have purchased a trailer from Escape and then imported it into the USA can describe how you handled state license and registration. Florida tells me a non-USA manufactured vehicle (trailer included) must first go to a regional Florida inspection station and pass...

    Harbor Freight Inflator

    I've been using this inflator through the summer now. Mostly for increasing the psi in the rear tires of the F150 when towing, topping off motorcycle tires and carrying it along in the 5.0 in case we needed to take care of any tire repairs. This weekend, Linda picked up a roofing screw on her...

    Warranty Problems?

    I follow a few sailing channels that are more like camping channels except on the water. The ones I follow are full timers. We are upset, me included, when we have warranty problems. Just imagine what happens when your brand new million dollar "home" has them. For a millions bucks I would...

    Breakaway Brake Musings

    Breakaway brakes are intended to activate when a trailer becomes completely disconnected from the tow vehicle. That’s obviously a terrible event, likely with multiple consequences, none of them good for the trailer, the tow vehicle, or other folks, vehicles, or property in the vicinity when it...

    Added an accumulator and some lighting

    We were tired of the loud pump and decided to add an accumulator. Also, we wanted some better lighting under there.The lighting under the bed can be turned on either inside the camper or via a second switch next to the outdoor hatch. We added 4 strip lights bought off Amazon.

    I have been looking around at new tow vehicles online, something sporty, I came across this Silverado and can’t seem to find any payload info. Seems interesting with the 3.42 gearing and 420 HP, with an 8 speed. Much better than my old 5.3 with 310 HP and 3.08 gears with a 6 speed. I’m looking...

    Disconnecting 12 volt charging from vehicle

    Hi all- I’ve got lithium batteries and wanted to disconnect the 12 volt charging from the alternator. This is a 2014 21C and I found this just junction box up front under the bed. Is this where I would disconnect the charging wire, or would that be in the rear with the batteries? I did not...

    best locations for red, orange leaf peeping?

    I'm thinking of taking a little trip somewhere to the north of home (Tulsa) in October for fall color. My question is mainly for you folks in MN, IA, northwest MO and eastern KS: would you care to point out any particular areas or drives where I'm likely to see a good concentration of sugar...
