Hi Escape! Did you guys change the build process or frames of these trailers? This video says the GVWR of the E17B is 4000 lbs, but your website says 3500 lbs. That's really unfortunate if true. I configured a E17 with a decent amount of options on your website and the dry weight ended up being close to 3000 lbs. That leaves very little room once you consider a full water tank and and two full propane tanks. There will be only a few hundred pounds of cargo capacity.
Hello Make a camper that is all electric...solar..have you heard about solar...apparently not. Forget the gas...it can be harmful. Also, women want bathrooms...toilets!! You put the video out to the public for our comments so read our suggestions.
Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your interest in our trailers. Just to clarify, our trailers do offer solar panel options for sustainable energy use across all of our models. Additionally, while one of our models the E17A does not include a bathroom, all of our other models do feature fully functional wet bathrooms for added convenience. Your feedback is important to us as we continue to improve and expand our offerings. If you have any further questions feel free to let us know or visit our website for more information. escapetrailer.com/ We're here to help!
Very nice updated showcase. The most in depth yet. Fills in a lot of gaps in previous content by going "under the hood" and showing a little bit deeper beyond the skin. First video I've seen that shows the undercarriage, whole roof as well as inside all of the interior cabinets and storage areas. One small thing, though, it seems you put the axle weight for the dry weight which is a little misleading. I think the listed dry weight is 2640 for 17b?
If I get the double solar and the lithium batteries, can the batteries be installed inside? I worry they'll get too cold in winter. Do you do the foam undercoat? If the black tank is removed for a composting toilet, why does it sit so high on that hump? Jon in rural BC, Canada
Does your 17 trailer have a black tank flush? I see your batteries are at the back of the trailer on the bumper. Why do you not have a batter drawer that pulls out? It seems like with a trailer of this build you would have the under belly fully enclosed, a 4 season trailer???
Does your trailer have a black tank flush? I also see that the batteries are at the back of the trailer attached to the rear bumper. Why don’t you have a pull out drawer for the batteries near the front of the trailer? I also noticed that your underbelly is not fully enclosed. Has escaped thought about enclosing the underbelly and making a Four-season trailer?
Well done video, very complete. We bought a new 17B with full time rear bed configuration from you in 2019. We are very pleased with it, very high build quality, tows like a dream. I believe the trailer axle is 3700 Lb, so that would be gross max trailer weight ?
Trailer axle weight was what they put in the video by mistake as the dry weight, 2300 or so, when actual dry is 2640. But I believe the whole thing is rated for 4000 lb gross
@@Sean-ft7ys thanks, yes Escape indicate a total gross weight of 4000 lbs for the 17B. The axle is rated for 3700 lbs so I assume Escape feels that 300 lbs will be carried on the trailer hitch. I haven’t weighed my trailer when loaded for camping but I have measured the tongue weight, usually around 400 lbs. I try to load anything heavy in the front part of the trailer. I have the front storage box and it’s fully loaded. We have the dual battery option, AC, solar so that adds a bit of weight too.
One detail I'd like to know is, how high above the seat cushion is that thermostat? It would be great to sit with my back against that wall and legs stretched out on the cushion, looking out all the windows. Or would I hit my head on the thermostat?
We have a Great Pyrenees that goes everywhere with us. This clarification of no carpeted walls is a huge plus I hadn't thought to ask. Carpeted walls would be a nightmare with our dogs hair, it's almost impossible to remove from auto carpet with a Dyson.

CORRECTION: The dry weight for the E17B is incorrectly stated at 2:07. The E17B dry weight is 2640lbs.

I wish I could put down my deposit today. Just a few more years and I'll be driving to 🇨🇦 to get mine.
The walk throughs keep getting better and better. A live walk through with Harrison was a big influence on us purchasing our 21C which we love.
Thank you Van! Happy to hear you are enjoying your Escape. - Harrison@Escape

Hi Sean,
Thank you for the kind words and noticing that mistake. You are correct that the dry weight for the E17B is 2640lbs. - Harrison@Escape
Thank you for this honest review, especially regarding the height limitations, since I am 6'-2". I still want one!
So happy to hear! If you ever need any information please feel free to ask!
NICE TRAILER DESIGN. As an option I probably would convert the front storage box as bicycle carriage.
Thank you so much!
Wow first trailer I’ve seen with great cable management 😮 I’d trade my stick and tin in a heartbeat it you guys had a bunkhouse model.
Thanks! We pride ourselves on making the best trailer out there!

How much is that base model in CAD it be nice to see a option for a 12v fridge too
Clear, concise, excellent walk-through!
Thank you for the kind words!!
Are the walls carpeted just like a Casita? Sorry, I can’t really see the walls clearly.
Hi Liam,
We use a high-quality vinyl headliner throughout the walls and ceiling of the trailer. No carpet walls!- Harrison@Escape
@@takeyourescape Great thank you for the clarification.

Carpeted walls would be a nightmare with our dogs hair, it's almost impossible to remove from auto carpet with a Dyson.
Something Else: I would replace the toilet with a compost toilet and rid the black water tank system.
Hi Jot,
A Composting Toilet is an option (17:42), which will delete the Black Tank as well.

A good Scotsman selling an escape.
Harrison you do a great and efficient job of outlining and comparing standard and options--well done!!
Thank you Rita! Glad you enjoyed! - Harrison@Escape
@@takeyourescape Do you have the same thing available for the 19? Clearly showing what is standard, vs what is optional all on one succinct video?
