Congratulations Jim. More pictures please. Interesting delivery. One hauled and one towed. How was the hauled trailer removed? Raz

Both Escapes were either on a trailer or a truck bed from Chilliwack to Goshen, Indiana, then the trailer was left there for some repairs and the Escape that was on the trailer was unloaded and then towed from Goshen to York,Pa. behind the other Escape. Both Escapes were covered with road grime, too bad they were not shipped liked BMW's, inside containers. More pictures will be forthcoming as I unpack and repack.

Oh you could have arranged for that but the price of cartage would have been much higher..... besides your not a fair weather camper are you? that trailer is going to see a lot more dirty roads isn't it? or are you going to treat it like so many of my BMW friends who refuse to take their car out on the roads when the weather is bad?

I got the extra insulation and 12v heated pads and thermapane windows for winter use. I also got the extra window in the kitchen but asked for an opening one, it is a tiny awning window, perfect for rainy days.

some persons complained that the window in the dinette was too high and they had trouble seeing out while sitting there. I asked Reace and he made my cushions 2" thicker, thus raising my view a little, seen here. Also I got the first Escape 19' with a opening bath window, like the kitchen, but frosted.

I also found out that Dometic and Escape was discontinuing the 5 cu/ft 2 way refer so I went for the 3 way Dometic used in the 17'. THus allowing a pantry to be added and the microwave is now chest high vs ceiling high.
