Wow, 7 campers in 4 years. Almost like high school girl friends. Really hope you found the one this time and get some free time to enjoy 'her'. Hoping the frog your kissing is a "princess and not a prince".

7 trailers in 4 years, wow ! i will have to let every one in our family ( I get alot of comments about how many trailers we have had) know that our 6 trailers in 10 years is actualy pretty good. although we were on a run of a new trailer every year for a while. I am very confident that our 19 ft escape will be a keeper. What sort of custom changes did you make Jim? aside from regular options?

Congratulations Jim! What a great camper!
I will be very interested to hear how that extra installation works out come Winter. A good report may force me to consider an Escape 19.
And ... if you feel an itch to move onto an 8th trailer, drop me a line.
Hope you love everything about it and use it in the best of health!
JMP

Nice Jim. Congratulations. I especially like the microwave above the fridge. The micro has got to be one of the top 3 "must have" appliances in an rv IMHO. Let us know if the trade off was the right thing to do with the space.
PS..from this X5 owner about the only time a BMW doesn't give you grief is when it's boxed up in a container. :-) They ain't what they used to be! :-)
You'll have infinitely more fun for le$$ with an Escape.
Happy trails.

And I lovin' the idea of the little window in the shower area. That is gonna be great to evacuate humidity from the shower. I'm assuming you have a powered vent in the bathroom ceiling ?
