Alright you would think that they would have it like an Airstream camper add toilet sink on one side and the other side of the shower that would be better in this camper! ❤️🖤♥️🖤❤️🌹
Actually, their first prototype had a dry bath of sorts. A toilet in one room and a shower in another across the center aisle . IIR, feedback from existing and potential customers changed their mind and they went with a larger, better layout for the galley.
Yes…I was looking forward to travelling in an RV…I tried for a few years on and off but I ended up not bothering because I spent so much money on fuel because RV’ are about as aerodynamic as a brick. You really have to be diligent when camping because most camping folks don’t care about cleanliness or being super loud all night long. Bring your ear plugs and some garbage bags.
Hi Carla and Todd! Loved the tour of the E23!!! Looks like we missed a wonderful rally. Sherry knows how to coordinate an amazing rally. So much to love about the E23. Probably a bit too big for Laura and I, but they are gems!!!
Having a tongue storage box is nice. I wish my Casita had awning style windows but I do wonder how scratch resistant plastic windows are. Dual 200 watt solar panels are nice to have. Seelevel tank monitors, Victron controls are top notch. Normally i’m not a fan of bathrooms across from the kitchen because the kitchen space is claustrophobic but that Escape is wide enough to solve that problem. Seems like there is plenty of counter space. Having 200Ah of Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries is awesome. I couldn’t see the entire spec sheet at the end of your video but saw enough to be pretty impressed by the Escape 23, thanks guys for posting this.
Thanks for the tour! My wife and I went on owner-led tours of the E19 and E21C when we first started looking at fiberglass trailers. We decided on the Oliver LE2 because of its quality and it's built by a family owned, American company one state away from us. That said, it looks like Escape has stepped up their game with the E23. I especially like the width and tank sizes in this camper.
I really like it overall. If there was anything id change or improve it would be adding a curtain to wall off the bedroom and the eating area that way north would have privacy when needed, and I'd raise that rear light above the spare tire.
@@kirkbierl2552 It’s a bit pricey for the size unit . But, it will last decades! It’s built in Canada. Most fiberglass RV units are pick up at factory.
Great review! My only complaint about that unit is the exposed fresh water tank. I was hoping they would find a way to enclose it. I've already dealt with frozen tanks this winter. No fun. Thanks!
Having the complete underside covered in a spray-foam insulation is one of the options from Escape Trailers. This owner chose not to get that option. The u detside insulation would cover all the piping and tanks.
@@harveytherv1 , yeah I was aware of their spray foam solution. I was just hoping they might do a little better on the new model. The foam is effective but rather ugly.
Thanks for a nice video on the new model. We've had two A-frame pop-ups and we're currently 1/4 owners of a park model RV. Getting closer to retirement and starting to seriously talk about what's next. We will probably rent a few different types of RVs and narrow down our choices before we make a decision. Always appreciate your videos.
Thanks for posting this video. Congratulations to Escape for finally releasing the long awaited Escape 23. Fortunately I’m glad we didn’t wait for one and went with a Bigfoot 25 instead. I can’t believe they still went with a wet bath in a 23’.
At 12:42 it seems like there's a decent size gap going into the bathroom. Maybe it's just a camera angle thing, but that doesn't seem great for a wet bath. Otherwise I love it and wish I had one in my driveway! Thanks for the video.
@@patriotone755 I hear ya !! I would love to own an Oliver . I do own a Casita fiberglass unit which is great for me . Bought it new five years ago! Have fun Camp on !!! 👍
They build a nice trailer and I love the torsion axles, but I would like to see them incorporate more Europeon features like Acrylic windows [ those windows are usless for airflow] . Aldi heat and hot water would be nice too.
Wow thats a nice camper! Whats the price range please? I always thought that they were kind of cheap-looking, but WOW its looks high end! Beautiful thank you for sharing this with us 🖤🥰🌹♥️❤️🖤🥰♥️❤️
It's pretty nice inside. I think it's nice for couples and maybe a small child. The bath is nice enough. You can sit down and shave your legs. I don't think it's for full time. So thanks for sharing and have a nice day.
Thanks to the Roses for the video and to the owners for the tour. It’s got a nice floor plan. Curious if the escapes have the inner and outer fiberglass walls like the Oliver’s?
If the owners take care of this camper, keeping it covered when not in use, it will last 50 years. I could live in that at the right campground. I can imagine an aluminum-cargo-rack on the back with my electric-bicycles. The advantage to such a camper is being able to tow with something like the new 3.0 liter LZO Duramax with no worries whatsoever, and have plenty of space in the back of the truck for extra gear and toys. That all being said, I bet the company could have found a better way to mount lots of stuff on the roof of the camper. I imagine a large aluminum grated plate where all the stuff mounts to the plate instead of the camper.
The roof of all the molded fiberglass campers, all brands, is not very strong. They are not designed to carry substantial loads on the roof. Of course, they do build reinforcement for the rooftop A/C, but that’s it. So, to add a roof rack storage of some kind is not wise, not just Escape, but all of the brands
THanks for sharing. I did not realize the wet bath was so short. I am 6’2” and will have issues. THanks for that info. I would have liked to see more storage areas open to see how deep they are. The drawers under the bed; do they have pull out storage or is it just a door? The twin bed version has more over head storage in bedroom but less in the gallery. Thanks again.
Looks like a single wall (single hull) fiberglass shell with pretty traditional RV construction inside. Compare to an Oliver to get an idea of what double hull and molded in storage looks like.
Make it one foot longer and add in a hanging locker for clothes - also didn't see a TV mounted anywhere. They could also improve the look of that bathroom sink with minimal cost I would imagine. - overall though it looks like it has everything a couple or single person would want.
Night shades should be from the bottom up. Allows privacy and airflow if not entirely closed. Top down leaves privacy issues with the screen a the bottom.
"Must be towed in a level attitude!" You travel Alaska roads, how is anyone going to get into an Alaskan campsite at a level attitude or not stress the frame or fiberglass with those torsion axles? Beautiful unit inside and out but not for most "country" campsites.
You say you have carpet on the ceiling io yours? Just wondering how you get the vacuum cleaner to stay up there while you vacuum? Maybe a really powerful vacuum?
10:18 I don't know why most companies waste space by making bed space permanent. Why not make beds convertible into additional living space when you are not sleeping?
If you are referring to “slide outs”, that is, space that slide out of the sides to make extra room inside? If so, that defeats some of the very large benefits of the molded fiberglass campers. That is, overall integrity and water proofness.and light weight. The shell of these campers will last a very long time, preserving the interior construction as well. If they cut a full wall hole in the side to make a slide-out, they will have ruined that integrity. Water leakage, rotting interiors, complex slide mechanisms failing and lots of extra weight all follow.
I really like this, it reminds me a little pf the nucamp altria that they made only 1 year. For me the Bathroom was an issue, that step up ( which likely was for the tanks ir the water heater) is bad design. You cant design for a 5' 6" person, it should be designed for a 6' person. The Altria had a unique barhroom design they could have adopted for example.
Hello Deepnature, we own an Escape 21C and the entire trailer under carriage is completely insulated. Obviously the owners who purchased this Escape 23 reside in Florida and opted "not" to have this option on their trailer. Guaranteed that you can have any new upcoming built Escape 23 insulated. These trailers built in Western Canada are second to none in my opinion. Proud Escape owner.
@@rolandnolette2279 That’s good to know. Thanks for the info. Do these condensate in the winter like the Casitas or are the walls and roof insulated? I love the concept of fiberglass trailers but the condensation issues I see videos about is a concern.
I absolutely love it EXCEPT FOR the wet bath.
Wait for second generation. It is going to be a big issue with buyers and manufacture will get wise.
what is wrong with wet bath?
Alright you would think that they would have it like an Airstream camper add toilet sink on one side and the other side of the shower that would be better in this camper! ❤️🖤♥️🖤❤️🌹
Agree.
That’s a big issue for me too. Shower and wipe it down every time. 🙁
I lived in a 24 foot long Airstream travel trailer, and for 5 years, with a husband and child. I could live in that one.
Escape worked with the public, canvassing prospective buyers in floorplan selection and options...I was one. Great job!!!
Wow. What a nice travel trailer! Very well laid out.
Thanks for the tour. Lost me with the bathroom. I would think a trailer of this size would have a dry bath. Looks nice....
Actually, their first prototype had a dry bath of sorts. A toilet in one room and a shower in another across the center aisle . IIR, feedback from existing and potential customers changed their mind and they went with a larger, better layout for the galley.
same here I dont like the step going into the bathroom
I don’t think 65 grand is a fair price
@kimdagnillshould be moreo8246
Very poor presentation. Kept hearing "I don't know".
Wow, what a major upgrade from the previous Escape! Absolutely love it and it is on my list to see in person. Great video, thanks so much for sharing!
Judging by many of the comments campers are not nice people. Nice job by the reviewers. Thank you for the tour.

You could have a party inside! Didn't have a chance to see it in person at Live Oak, so thanks for giving us a tour.
$65k is simply ridiculous.
Oliver cost more than escape! But , built better.
I’ve seen a lot of campers out there. I really thought this was gonna be like 125,000.

Fiberglass isn’t cheap. Have you priced a new boat lately? 50 k would be better! But …… 🤷🏼♂️
Imho it aint worth the $$ in fact most rv,s aint these days.The lexan windows and fiberglass nicest features everything else same rv junk.
They make an excellent camper
You will never worry about roof leaks with this baby. Go Canada Go
Great video, never heard of an Escape and now I'm Interested.

Very kewl and it comes in twin beds if desired. Thanks Roses - nice to see you go through it.
We have an Escape 21 for a year now. It’s way better than any comparable camper on the market. It’s made of fiberglass so it’ll last.
It is also 2/3 the price, NEW
Nice trailer, and nice video! Thanks guys! M&K
Beautiful review!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing 😊
if they could put a full bath it would be perfect. Love the lay out
I'd enjoy seeing that 5.0 fifth wheel, Todd.
This was great!!!
This was a great video and tour, thank you both very much.😊
At 12:42 it seems like there's a decent size gap going into the bathroom. Maybe it's just a camera angle thing, but that doesn't seem great for a wet bath. Otherwise I love it and wish I had one in my driveway! Thanks for the video.
That gap is for ventilation. There’s a shower curtain inside the bathroom that goes across the door opening to keep the water in the bathroom.
It looks great! Thx
I love AND want one!
You left me wanting more. Please open the cabinets and drawers so we can see inside.
Thanks for the escape tour guys ! For that kind of money, I would spend a bit more and get a Oliver. Just me ! 😁👍
$30K more (50%)

It was news to me to hear that Northern Lite is also making a fiberglas trailer.
Very nice trailer. However the deal breaker for me is the wet bath.
Nice of the owners to let you do this.
I totally love it. Except for one thing. Cost !!!. More expensive than my HOUSE
I don't know where you live, but the average house price in the US is like 280k.
That’s fun.
Wow thats a nice camper! Whats the price range please? I always thought that they were kind of cheap-looking, but WOW its looks high end! Beautiful thank you for sharing this with us 🖤🥰🌹♥️❤️🖤🥰♥️❤️

Thanks to the Roses for the video and to the owners for the tour. It’s got a nice floor plan. Curious if the escapes have the inner and outer fiberglass walls like the Oliver’s?
Escapes are wonderful campers, but do not have double-hull 4-season construction like the Olivers.
I believe Cortes Campers are double hulled = four seasons
Y'all are consistent; you don't know what you're looking at.
Is she taking zannex? 6'3 Numb and fun. Wanna go camping with me?

i"ll take a miller lite in the fridge
would you guys recommend this over the larger Oliver? asking since you have seen both in person...
Big enough to live in
What are the poles on the kitchen counter for (dance poles)?
For that price, i would expect a dry bath and better cargo capacity. Hard to full-time or do long trips with a limited carrying capacity
Night shades should be from the bottom up. Allows privacy and airflow if not entirely closed. Top down leaves privacy issues with the screen a the bottom.
That size you would think they have a dry bath. Seen smaller with it.
Closest alternative is the Bigfoot 23. Dry bath, local dealer has a new one for $67k.
I love it!
Is there storage on the sides of the bed?
"Must be towed in a level attitude!" You travel Alaska roads, how is anyone going to get into an Alaskan campsite at a level attitude or not stress the frame or fiberglass with those torsion axles? Beautiful unit inside and out but not for most "country" campsites.

push the fridge over a foot to get the dry bath
Small table for a large dinette. I'm 6' 2" 225 lbs that bathroom looks really small also. I like the trailer but would definately change a few things.
Not sure why you did a review on something that you know very little about but, at least we get to see the trailer. Thanks.
It wasn't a review. We don't own the camper and we've never used it to review it. It was just a walk around so people can see it. Thanks for watching!
@@RunawayRosesthat's what a walk thru is .... Ur giving a review/ opinion
Ok so the overhead storage cupboards, do they stay open when they're opened? If not, that is a deal breaker for me.
A real nice 1 person camper.
What ?
hmm .....where will the TV be ... something fancy like a drop down ?
Any access to the bottom from the bottom or is it sealed like your NL?
Thanks for the video, but I hate when people point at a door and say, “oh, and there’s a door,” and points at a light and says, “and this is a light.”
Would be nice to have a larger door opening to get stuff in and out.
