I like the new interior look. They are listening to their customers.

RE: Pros/Cons of an RV GPS System
Rand McNally- it has cg, gas, rest areas, vets, pet friendly places all listed and you get to specify your length for directions.

RE: Need advice for WD/Sway options
I just came back from 1400 miles with my new Andersen hitch pulling my Escape 19' with a t/w of 350# and total weight 3500#. Pulled with my FJ Cruiser, got 13-15 mph thru mountains and cross winds. The andersen performed flawlessly, no sway and lifted my rear 1" for leveling.
It comes off and reattaches in 5 minutes. Really easy to work with and no more grease on the ball!!

RE: Need Sunglasses /New Australian Caravans
Why not import them? I'm sure these can fit inside a container. Someone told me it only costs $1500 to ship a full container port to port.

RE: Advantages of a manual transmission
Just remember, some brake controllers apply the brakes when backing up with manual transmission while towing.

RE: Small Travel Trailers
Escape also makes a 15' unit and Scamps have a 13' unit. Not sure of the weights.

RE: Rear suspension support for 2010 Dodge Ram 1500
I installed Firestone airbags in my ram 1500, really keeps everything neat inside the trailer with only 10 psi, do not go much higher.

RE: electric tankless water heater?
Tankless water heaters mean unlimited hot water as there is no 6 gal tank. You have unlimited hot water. However there is a trade off, you only use the hot water side and you control the temperature with the flow rate, low flow is warmer and higher flow is cooler.

RE: Forest River V-Cross Vibe Trailers
Hi cpaharley –
That Lance looks good! However, as I view the floorplan, it appears to me that the toilet is inaccessible unless the slide is out. Is that true?
If it's the 1575...not true....when the slide is in there's still about a foot of space that you can squeeze by and the door to the bathroom is a slide so it doesn't open into the room. You can still access it.
There is no way you can use the bath in a 1575 while closed, the dinette touches the bathroom door. If you took the dinette table out and then climbed over the cushion you maybe able but it's unlikely.

RE: Vista Bule Teardrop Trailers
The fiberglass units do not require Eternabond or other yearly maintenance around roof and panel seams. There is no wood in the walls and no delamination issues. Other than the a/c and maxxair vents, nothing to seal every year. The a/c and Maxxaire will not leak if properly installed.
The bellyband is now 100% fiberglassed and leakproof. The unit comes with a 2 year warranty, compare that to others. They have built in pontoons along the bottom that have holes to allow any condensation that may have accumulated around the walls to escape, the wood floor is raised and encapsulated in fiberglass. Scamps and Casita's problems are due to their quality, Escape's have eliminated those issues and are considered the top of the line fiberglass trailers along with BigFoot are 4 season units with thermopane windows and sealed tank and floors. Look at their website.

RE: Spacious 20-23 ft. trailer sugg. Bringing 2 med. sized dogs
Top of the line would be Escape Trailers or BigFoot- both out of Canada- never leak and no lamination issues and 4 season use

RE: Best quality light weight travel trailer
Yes metal airstreams are neither good in the hot sun nor in the dark cold as the metal will transfer both heat and cold. True they reflect the heat somewhat, so will a white trailer. I feel if Airstreams installed a composite floor then their leaks issues would be moot.

RE: Best quality light weight travel trailer
Hot water heater and tank is standard in all Escapes with the bath, the o/s shower is an option.

RE: Best quality light weight travel trailer
Escape Trailer Ind, a canadian builder of custom made fiberglass trailers are the best made lightweight trailer made today. A 19' trailer made from 100% fiberglass with a 2 year warranty, no lamination or roof leak issues as there are no seams or places for leaks. an average Airstream has 3000 rivets, each one is a potential leak and they are cold. The Escape is custom made with thermo-windows,double wall with insulation, tank heaters and foam insulation, all for around $30k or about $15k less than Airstream.
I speak from experience because I have owned 2 Lance trailers and currently own an Escape and I belong to Airstream forums where leaks are the common discussion.
