thank you for sharing. you're very handy and did some awesome upgrades. I love how the bed sits up in the back with the carpeted steps up to it. I'm 99% sold on this unit...you really helped me make up my.mind..your voice is so clear and you're very articulate. thank you again!
Thanks for sharing. We're looking at fiberglass trailers for retirement travel, and the 5th wheel Escape looks very attractive, and, I hope, more stable when towing than the bumper pull trailers.
I can't say they are or not since I've never pulled a bumper trailer, but from what I keep hearing, there's a significant difference between the two. I've pulled other 5th wheels, and I can say pulling an Escape 5.0 was by far the easiest on gas and maneuverability. You'll love it!
Nice tour, thanks. Please, I am interested in the "rain guard" on the back side window. We have been looking for a solution to this issue for our 2011 19' Escape.
Beautiful RV! Thank you for the window rubber tip. I have the same problem with window not opening all the way. I have some questions: 1. Looks like a ‘boat lift’ is a hydraulic strut pedestal? This is smarter than table leg disassembly. 2. Not clear as to what was done to the windows with insulation? 3. Which brand of Inverter did you get? 4. Which brand of digital thermostat did you get, and is it performing accurately so far? 5. Did you use Reflectix as insulation in exterior storage cabinets? 6. What type of spray foam did you use in underbelly? Any prep work? 7. How did you install heat pads on water tanks? Would love to know more. 8. What did you do to the fridge guts? You spoke fast and I could not follow. 9. I am unclear how to hook up an inverter to battery and solar. I will be installing solar soon. Where does the inverter fit in, and how do I add sockets to use my appliances off this inverter? Can inverter be hidden, and the sockets go on the wall? I’ll share some tips with you from my RV ongoing remodel: 1. LED 12 V bulbs from LED Wholesaler, in Hayward, CA are inexpensive. 2. IKEA Kvartal curtain tracks work very well for RVs. They have ceiling or wall mounts. 3. If you make your own curtains, Fabric.com is an online store. Blackout lining is Roclon rubber cloth. 4. IKEA has come out with a very strong suction cup bath system which does not fall off.
Happy to help, +Lass-in Angeles! 1, I'm pretty sure that's the case. 2, I removed the clam-shell ring that secures the window and stuffed insulation in there. That helped a little bit with the draft. 3, Xantrex PROWatt 2000 Inverter, Model# 806-1220, but that was back in 2012. There's probably a better model out there now. 4, couldn't tell you.. I think I got it at Home Depot for $20. 5, I did. 6, I didn't do that part.. I had it ordered from Escape. 7, that was also done by Escape Industries. 8, I covered the vent cover with bug screen. Worked REALLY well. Sorry about that.. I didn't film enough on that part. :) 9, the inverter was connected directly to the battery, and the plugs from the outlets on the inverter powered the outlets to the trailer. So long as the inverter has enough ventilation, you can put it anywhere. Thanks for those tips! I know they will come in handy!
+btrippy Thanks a lot!!!! This was so helpful, esp the inverter. Much easier than I thought. I am going to do the solar install myself so this is very useful. I saw an Airstream renovation by Hofmann Architecture where they used spray foam on a lot of areas. Wondering if that would work for your windows in future. I have to try it out. Thanks again!
Looking at the Scamp 5th wheel, which is for the most part the same basic design, this one looks much better thought out inside. There isn't carpeting everywhere for one thing. It just looks like there was some thought & research into how things would be used, as opposed to just trying to fit things wherever they might go.
Thanks for posting--a question for anyone. Do you think there are OTHER brands of light weight, 5th wheel trailers that give this one a run for their money? I ask because all I here is praise--probably well deserved, but NONE for sale that are used--except those already sold or "pending", just wondering IF THEY ARE TRULY THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN?
Very nice video full of great ideas! Excellent narration voice too! Can you tell me why the propane needs insulation? I didn't understand the item where you can keep the windows open in all weather conditions. can you please explain it to me?
Thanks, Louis! It's not for the propane, but to help better insulate the cabin. Not sure which one you mean.. the little pin on the emergency window? That's just so that if you bump it, it doesn't come slamming into your back. If you meant the rain guard covering the opposite window, search for MAXXAIR Louvered Window Vent. It allows you to be able to open up the window when it's raining and prevent it from coming in. Otherwise, you can't get much ventilation when it's raining.
We have a 32ft C-Class that we love but your set up would make me seriously consider a downsize. :-) Great Job. You are correct about getting what you pay for.
Sorry, I really don't remember the make/model. I do remember putting plates on the bottom and side of the cabinet as well as L brackets to give it more stability, otherwise it likely would have ripped out.
something that size looks like can get away putting a 5th wheel hitch on a little truck like a ranger or S10 and still pull that without a problem. kinda makes me wanna find one of those, and pick me up a V6 Ford Ranger.
Troy Foxxin Yep, that was the design's inspiration; something lightweight and tow-able with a small v6. Our F150 was really an overkill, but we're still happy with our choices.
Thanks, Mark! Hard to say.. as far as I can tell, they made it wider, longer, can carry more, and added an axle. Wider/longer is good if you like more room inside, certainly always a plus to have more cargo capacity, and a second axle is nice in the event of a blowout. On the flip side, wider means harder to see around it along with more wind resistance, more cargo means worse gas mileage (assuming you use it), and a second axle means higher tolls, 4 tires instead of 2 when they need to be replaced, and less maneuverability. For my personal preference, I'd rather be slim and maneuverable over the rest, but we aren't your normal couple, so I can see why they did it. That being said, I know you're getting your money's worth with either one.
We spend a good couple of nights in it below freezing, but nothing with snow. I'm more than sure the spray foam prevented the tanks from freezing, and kept the floor... well.. not freezing. :) We bought camping roll mats and cut them up for the floor. That made a major difference to our feet.
Confusedsole86 Appears the shortcut I saved to the store I bought it from doesn't carry it anymore, so I can't tell you the model. It's a gas low profile table lift. I think it was for a boat. I'll warn you though, the base was too big and would prevent the door where we have the safe from opening all the way. Had I known that, I would have bought something else. I had planned on making the door removable, but never did get around to it.
btrippy OK thanks I don't own a escape at the moment (I just came across them a few days ago) though I do have interest in them so thank you for the video. I was interested in doing something similar in my current rv with a similar table. How are you liking the escape? I have never seemed one though I had a lot of interest in scamp which is similar.
We loved our Escape! Unfortunately, due to a job change, we can't travel nearly as much as we were, so it didn't make sense to keep it. I can say with confidence, it really was an awesome 5th wheel.
The only thing I'd still do if you haven't already. Is coat the under belly foam with either undercoating Or a ply able coating. Because tuff stuff or spay foam has the tendency to split And take on water causing rotting and damage to mating surfaces. Otherwise great job.
+William Oneal I want to do this too. What kind of foam would you spray underneath? Could you just spray Rustoleum rubber undercoating on top of the dried foam insulation? I am concerned that I don't know how these two chemicals will react. Have you done it?
Lass-in Angeles Sorry I've not done this before. But I know how tuff stuff works it's faults. I'd use something like Lizard Skin automotive products. RE, Truck bed liner, or sound deadening products. And if the vehicle you're looking to do this to doesn't already have Tuff stuff. Then don't apply it.just use the Lizard Skin or something like this. Hope I could help.
Incorrect William. The type of closed cell foam used doesn't rot, absorb moisture nor split. It is used (uncoated) as roofing material in the USA. As tested for DECADES by the US Army it's only weak point is direct UV exposure.
I'm looking into purchasing this model of trailer. It appears the mods you have made serve to create even a better unit. Have you been happy with your purchase overall?
We definitely were. Our only critique was the lack of good insulation, at least in ours. Since the newer models are wider, maybe they are fitting them with more.. I don't know. If all you're going to do is little vacations in it, then it really doesn't matter but we spent many months at a time in it which meant the furnace/ceramic heater would almost always be running. Really can't say there were any problems with it, and very much enjoyed it!
Could you please provide your TV mount, make and model number? We have a 2017 Escape 5.0 and want to mount our 27 inch Jenson TV just like yours is mounted.. Thanks!
Sorry Bruce, I really don't remember the make/model. I do remember putting plates on the bottom and side of the cabinet as well as L brackets to give it more stability, otherwise it likely would have ripped out.
The concept for these is great; a light 5W for a small TV. But the product lacks many qualities/refinements for the $30k price. Good for a weekender fishing trip in summer.
+Rob Grune It's so much easier to tow.. having towed a bigger rig as well, I can tell you it was a night and day comparison. You're exactly right about the weekender trips, though!
of course. smaller, lighter is always easier to tow. it's a fine RV for short excursions and seems to be very well constructed. but it is pricey for its size and features, as many other brands sell for not much more for a larger unit with more features.
The burner farthest from the paper towels would be no factor, but you do have a good point. That being said, I think we've used the stove once. I find infrared cookers are WAY better than gas.
You sure did some very well thought out modifications. We are super interested in one of these Escapes. We currently have only pulled 17-19 foot travel trailers about 3,000lbs...how does this compare if you have ever pulled a travel trailer? We are thinking of getting a bigger truck, Dodge Ram 1500...than an Escape. Would love to know how yours tows? Thank you.
Thanks for the complement! The biggest trailer I've towed was 10 ft and not a camper, so I really can't say. I have towed bigger 5th wheels (Jayco Eagle HT) and can say I went from 14mpg (in our Ford F150) at full speed (usually 5 over) to 9mpg and often times not able to maintain the speed limit. The weight and height difference is so prominent that they just can't be compared. If you want to stay agile and lite while maintaining all the same comforts (with the exception of winter insulation) as a standard mass-produced model, Escape is the way to go.
There are gooseneck adapters availabe for fifth wheel trailers so you can install a gooseneck ball, instead of a fifth wheel in the pickup taking up all your cargo space when you're not towing.
+Angie Borden For 13 grand, you get a polished turd from the assembly lines of the general manufacturers. No customization, cheap junky materials, and crap support. They put no thought into what makes sense for the consumer rather than what makes sense for pushing units out. Escape Industries put a lot of time and attention into details to make it a great trailer, and it's definitely worth 30k. You get what you pay for. I can attest to this, as I have experience in both.
btrippy well if you go with a good name brand, like I did you gay the same size, but with a dry bath and walk around queen bed. For LESS than half the price! So even IF. There are problems? I will still be able to trade in for another and still pay less! Plus and this is a big plus in my area is what is called excise taxes on vehicles and campers, that on a 30 k camper comes to about $2,200 the first year, to the town its registered in! Plus I hate the smell of fiberglass.
Angie Borden then you have not done your research...... Escapes are cheaper than Airstreams and just as towable... They are Fiberglass...No Seams.. They are Molded....thus no leaks....unlike the flimsy aluminum bigger campers that are junk.....
for thirty thousand dollars,it should have all the bells, and whistles. total rip off..i have a toyota tacoma extra cab with the v6,need something on the lighter side,the r pod 179 has got this beat for half the price,and solar ready.
+Chris Rice We HAD an R Pod, NO comparison to the Escape. The R Pod was no where near the quality this fiberglass unit. R pods are cheaper in price and quality. I would not buy one again.
These seem like nice trailers. It's too bad Escape uses such ugly and dated looking materials for their cabinets. I find this cut of oak to be hideous, and I could not live with it. They should consider using bamboo, or some other type of aesthetically pleasing materials.
You did a super job with your mods. You also did a great job on the narration and pace of the video. Happy Camping!
+Mark Seifried Thanks!
Well done! I am downsize-dreaming.and you did a beautiful job on both your Escape and your video. Thank you. God Bless
Thanks, and stop dreaming.. just do it! You won't regret it!
thank you for sharing. you're very handy and did some awesome upgrades. I love how the bed sits up in the back with the carpeted steps up to it. I'm 99% sold on this unit...you really helped me make up my.mind..your voice is so clear and you're very articulate. thank you again!
Thanks for the feedback, and I'm confident you won't regret it!
I play this video at night for ambient soothing sounds to rock me gently to Slumbertown, where I’m the mayor.
Thanks First time have seen the Escape underbelly foam insulation. These are really nice trailers.
I do think Escape going to a dual axle fifth wheel makes for a safer and more steady pull experience.
Good information!
His voice is making my head tingle....so relaxing. LOL
Ha! Well, thanks!
btrippy lol....you're welcome
Sprat-Lane I actually felt myself relaxing listening to him.
He has a perfect asmr voice.....lol
Thanks, Teri 2011!
Terrific job on your modifications! You gave me some great ideas on future mods. Thanks!
Happy to help, Phil!
excellent Escape thanks for sharing the mods
Excellent video and great mods. Picked up a few ideas. Thanks
Great video. Thank you!
This rig is totally awesome! 👍👍
Good stuff here... getting ready to take home an older scamp 5th wheel, this will help. Was wondering how to add some insulation to bottom.
This is an amazing looking trailer! Would love to have one!!!
Love the size of this! Great video.
Thanks!
Thank you tour of Escape my first-time. .
My pleasure, Janice!
Very nice ,good job, great for boondocking in small spaces, I've placed my order
You won't regret it!
Just found this video, very informative, also excellent product. Thankyou.

Thanks for the reply. I'm so looking forward to getting on the road with a 5.0
I like this. It reminds me of a truck camper. I like campers that aren't so big but they can pack a lot into the space.
100% agree, Dawn.
Wow, a lot of van in a tiny package.
Nice tour, thanks. Please, I am interested in the "rain guard" on the back side window. We have been looking for a solution to this issue for our 2011 19' Escape.

Very good thank you. I forgot to ask was it done at the factory or did you do it yourself?
We had it done at the factory. If I had to do it again, I certainly would.
Thanks again. Hope to see more of the Escape soon.
What are the dimensions of the bed?
3:57 "Max Fan does a Fan-Tastic job"...well which is it? MaxFan or Fantastic Fan?
have you done any winter camping? curious about the spray foam insulation on the under belly and its effect. nice video btw.
We spend a good couple of nights in it below freezing, but nothing with snow. I'm more than sure the spray foam prevented the tanks from freezing, and kept the floor... well.. not freezing. :) We bought camping roll mats and cut them up for the floor. That made a major difference to our feet.
btrippy what are camping roll mats?
may I ask which parts you used to modify your table leg?
Confusedsole86 Appears the shortcut I saved to the store I bought it from doesn't carry it anymore, so I can't tell you the model. It's a gas low profile table lift. I think it was for a boat. I'll warn you though, the base was too big and would prevent the door where we have the safe from opening all the way. Had I known that, I would have bought something else. I had planned on making the door removable, but never did get around to it.
btrippy OK thanks I don't own a escape at the moment (I just came across them a few days ago) though I do have interest in them so thank you for the video.

btrippy What state do you live in? Selling?
btrippy Nice job. You may have just convinced me to go 5th wheel over a class C.
how much is it? can it be delivered to laos PDR?
Great job
Thanks!
Disregard the haters. Nice job 👍🏻
Great music!!
Thanks, Megan!
Awesome.
well done!
Thanks, Tony!
The only thing I'd still do if you haven't already.
Is coat the under belly foam with either undercoating
Or a ply able coating.
Because tuff stuff or spay foam has the tendency to split
And take on water causing rotting and damage to mating surfaces. Otherwise great job.
William Oneal Good to know, thanks!
+William Oneal I want to do this too. What kind of foam would you spray underneath? Could you just spray Rustoleum rubber undercoating on top of the dried foam insulation? I am concerned that I don't know how these two chemicals will react. Have you done it?
Lass-in Angeles Sorry I've not done this before.
But I know how tuff stuff works it's faults.
I'd use something like Lizard Skin automotive products.
RE, Truck bed liner, or sound deadening products. And if the vehicle you're looking to do this to doesn't already have Tuff stuff. Then don't apply it.just use the Lizard Skin or something like this. Hope I could help.
Incorrect William. The type of closed cell foam used doesn't rot, absorb moisture nor split. It is used (uncoated) as roofing material in the USA. As tested for DECADES by the US Army it's only weak point is direct UV exposure.

+Rob Grune totally agree
Rob Grune h
cool nice voice thanks
Nice music, nice rig. How much. Will pay in gold dust! Haha
This is nice... but putting a big roll of fire starting material (paper towels) over the stove seems like a bad idea....
The burner farthest from the paper towels would be no factor, but you do have a good point. That being said, I think we've used the stove once. I find infrared cookers are WAY better than gas.
These are super nice but pricey for what they are. But won't ever rot. I want a bumper pull, dual axle one day.
They have those too at Escape Industries. Dry weight is about 3000 lbs for the bigger one. Like you said, expensive, but you get what you pay for.
You sure did some very well thought out modifications. We are super interested in one of these Escapes. We currently have only pulled 17-19 foot travel trailers about 3,000lbs...how does this compare if you have ever pulled a travel trailer?

Killer camper guy!!!
nice.
Why a safe?
Money, pistol, etc.
You have an ASMR Voice. You should try it out and make a video.
I tried to make it a warm voice-over.. :) Thanks!
Asmr is for idiot's like menlinals
Nice
holy moly I became dizzy watching this
As you can see this was recorded 3 years ago.. before the proliferation of gimbals. I have one now though :)
Rose Marie Van Dee You old hag.. can’t u be positive ?
Not a fan of the 5th wheele I need the back of the truck for other stuff
There are gooseneck adapters availabe for fifth wheel trailers so you can install a gooseneck ball, instead of a fifth wheel in the pickup taking up all your cargo space when you're not towing.
Thumbs up.
The GoPro camera wasn’t the best choice because of the fisheye effect.
Well, almost 5 years ago, this was the best camera I had. Have to make do with what you have.
A Propane Cabin that can trap explosive gases inside the shell of the camper doesn't sound smart or legal.
The door has vents.. hard to see, but they're there. ua-cam.com/video/qnHnR9KGFfc/v-deo.htmlm21s
Reverse osmosis system will only work with soft water . Hard water destroys the membrane in the R O system.
WRONG ED. We have some of the hardest water in the USA (as rated by the EPA) and our RO does fine.
Nice camper just enough room
All lights are LEDs. Too bad
Looks worth about 13 grand or so. NOT 30 grand.
+Angie Borden For 13 grand, you get a polished turd from the assembly lines of the general manufacturers. No customization, cheap junky materials, and crap support. They put no thought into what makes sense for the consumer rather than what makes sense for pushing units out. Escape Industries put a lot of time and attention into details to make it a great trailer, and it's definitely worth 30k.
You get what you pay for. I can attest to this, as I have experience in both.
btrippy well if you go with a good name brand, like I did you gay the same size, but with a dry bath and walk around queen bed. For LESS than half the price! So even IF. There are problems? I will still be able to trade in for another and still pay less! Plus and this is a big plus in my area is what is called excise taxes on vehicles and campers, that on a 30 k camper comes to about $2,200 the first year, to the town its registered in! Plus I hate the smell of fiberglass.
Dummy, you are fucking dreamin'.
Angie Borden then you have not done your research...... Escapes are cheaper than Airstreams and just as towable... They are Fiberglass...No Seams.. They are Molded....thus no leaks....unlike the flimsy aluminum bigger campers that are junk.....
Aluminlite puts this to shame !
Sweat Job & rolling crib ......
Thanks!!

for thirty thousand dollars,it should have all the bells, and whistles. total rip off..i have a toyota tacoma extra cab with the v6,need something on the lighter side,the r pod 179 has got this beat for half the price,and solar ready.
+Chris Rice We HAD an R Pod, NO comparison to the Escape. The R Pod was no where near the quality this fiberglass unit. R pods are cheaper in price and quality. I would not buy one again.
Chriss, you are CLUELESS about the advantages of monocoque, molded fiberglass construction over all the other crap used for building travel trailers.
$30k seems cheap to me. Total rip-off? Try building one. I bet you can't buy the materials for $25k, never mind the design, assembly/labour costs.
Nice video But way over priced for what get !
As compared with what alternative product David? Please educate us

These seem like nice trailers. It's too bad Escape uses such ugly and dated looking materials for their cabinets. I find this cut of oak to be hideous, and I could not live with it. They should consider using bamboo, or some other type of aesthetically pleasing materials.
Nice
