I wouldn't know Filbert. My Scamp was NEVER in that kinda shape and I've taken care of it since I owned it. I wouldn't be buying now except I want a different layout and more space for spending a whole lot more time traveling. Gotta check off that Bucket List.

I sign off on my build list in four days. OMG!

Donna D have to agree with Filbert V. ;
You'll also have to give it a catchy name like Donna's Dream Coach. Keep us posted and keep a postin'. So very Happy for You!

Donna D - I must agree - lookin' good! After you sign off on the build list, it's time to get serious about picking your new tow vehicle. Have you made a decision on that yet? After saying I wouldn't get one, I checked out a new 2014 Ford F150 EcoBoost the other day. Mighty nice. And the Chevy and Ram get even better ratings than it! Word is that the 2015 Nissan Titan will have an optional 5.0L Cummins turbo diesel V8 engine. The same engine might be an option on the 2016 Toyota Tundra. So many choices, and they all will look great pulling that new Escape 5.0 with you behind the wheel!! Let us know what TV you decide on.... Dale

Hi: Lynn Musgrave...We've been hiding in Florida and lots happened while we played there. New 5.0TA is 5" higher, 8" longer, and 8"wider. New layout inside makes it look cavernous. We deliver our present 5.0 to the new owners on our way west to pick up "Escape Hatch II" June 3rd.
My first few months of retirement have been really busy!!!

Donna, I am so very jealous of you.
Now is not the time for me to go with this trailer, but boy oh boy, into the future I could sure see it happening.

The interior is going into the first 5er now! At this stage, mine will look nearly the same. I'm not getting the u-shape rear dinette however.

LOL Me thinks Donna already has a Catchy Donna'ish name picked out - don't know why I think that!

Alf, good pics of your blank slate!!! They are sooooo busy making it ready for you I'm having a hard time slipping in for a half hour of their time to get a small addition added to mine!

Happy for both you and Donna, just a tab jealous as well I may add!

Donna,

I'm so happy for you. I know you've longed for one for quite some time. I wish Lily and I could be at Bandon this year to see your new baby but we won't.

We'll see you and your new "babies" sometime in the future. Congrats again.

Joy and Lily

C'mon Donna don't keep the fans awaiting your decision since some of us from the "other" forum know why you got!

Had a nice chat with Alf today, he is busy improving our "new" trailer before delivering it, what a guy

Hope you've got some sun at the rally.

soon a 2007 Escape 5.0

Hi: emers382... From one "Buff-n-shine" guy to another...thanks for the kind words. By the time we get her out there she'll need another shampoo and wax.
