This morning, we woke up in Chilliwack, BC, Canada at the
Hampton Inn just down the road from our Escape Trailer. Only challenge was that
we woke at 5 AM and wouldn’t be able to start our orientation until 8 AM. It
really did feel like Christmas when we were little. We were awake, why wasn’t
the rest of the world (Escape Trailer Industries) awake? You may wonder why
they have an orientation. Well in our previous life camping with a tent, the
only mechanical device we carried was our Peak 1 stove. Now, we have more
systems in the trailer than you have in your house. Just to name a few:
1.
Safety – CO detector, fire detector, propane
detector, fire extinguisher
2.
Convenience – shower, RV commode
3.
Comfort – heat & AC, hot water heater, stove
and faucets, refrigerator, microwave
4.
Electrical Systems – surge protector, solar
collector, battery condition, thermostat
5.
Windows, doors and awning
6.
Campground hookups (electric & water)
7.
Plumbing and tanks (fresh, gray & BLACK) and
emptying
8.
Towing hookups and safety in towing
So, we made it to the factory and were given instruction by
Rhonda & Dennis and met Tammy & Reace (owners and founders of Escape
Trailer Industries & cult). By 11 AM all paperwork was signed & Dennis
took off to take our trailer thru customs while we drove our car thru and met
him in Sumas, WA. We transferred the trailer to our Acadia and we were off to
Deception Pass State Park on Whidbey Island. We had no major issues backing
into our site, leveling, disconnecting and starting the organization of all our
gear into the many cabinets. To put it bluntly, the trailer did not just meet
our expectations but exceeded them. We are extremely comfortable and happy!!!
