I just installed a Houghton 9.5 AC in my Escape 19. I had a friend help me get it onto the roof but I did everything else myself. Not that hard and I'm 78. The unit was a little over $1000, labor $0.

You're going to love the E19. We'll most likely stay at Bemidji State Park in September on our way out west. Stayed there in 2019 on a similar trip in an Aliner.

I don't believe there is an automobile manufacturer in existence that hasn't had a recall for something. I have not had a recall on my 20019 or 2021 Subaru Ascent.

I have a 2021 Ascent that I use to tow my Escape 19. I’ve probably only towed it about 6000 miles in 2022 but will travel about 16-18,000 miles this year.
