We've finished the
renovation of our 1991 Scamp and
sold "Ziggy" to look for something bigger. Actually, we've been wanting something bigger for a little while but intended to give Ziggy every opportunity to fulfill our needs.
After years, literally, of searching and reading, we've decided that an
Escape 5.0 TA may suit our needs. The overall length is substantially longer and includes a dedicated sleeping space in the nose of the fifth wheel design. Although the main cabin of the
Escape is virtually the same as Ziggy, we're experienced in towing a gooseneck horse trailer and were attracted to the stability of the fifth wheel configuration as well as the tandem axles.
We've been absent from the FGRV forum for more than a little bit but we may be on our way back into the swing of things by this time next year. We have tentatively scheduled a meeting with another
Escape fifth wheel owner to visit and experience the 5.0 TA before we plunk down our hard earned cash for a special order. It'll take them almost six months to build a new trailer once we've made our final decision.
We'll be waiting, somewhat impatiently, for our new baby to be borne, once we get the real hands-on opportunity. Stay tuned...
