Jay, if you are interested in seeing an Escape 5.0TA, there are a number of them scattered around Oregon, just give the factory a call and they'll give you contact info, there are no sales outlets. Better yet take a trip over the border and tour the factory and all models in Chilliwack BC.

They are fairly custom built, more so then the "option" show. If interested visit the Escape forum and ask or do a search.

Bob, I have a Casita and have been to Bandon rally and have meet Reace and Tami and a group of us was talking with Reace about his first fifth wheel. I will be checking on the updates at Escape. Thanks for the info. Jay

Casita makes small 5th. wheels.

I have a 17' Casita and they don't make a fifth wheel trailer, it's Scamp that makes a fifth wheel.

Your right! and the Scamp 5th wheel is well constructed and light.

I have been in both the Scamp & Escape trailers and the Scamp is OK but the Escape is a real nice trailer, their is over a year wait for the Escape trailers as the 2016 are all booked up.
I will be checking out the used marked during the winter.
Thanks for the info. Jay

Anything is possible, but there is no used market as yet for the bigger twin axle Escape fifth wheels. You can however find the single axle units for sale occasionally as owners move up to the bigger ones. The twin axle being about a foot wider and 3' longer, I think.

Escape is moving to bigger quarters shortly, may add a few 2016 build dates for folks waiting. Normal has been roughly an 8 month wait since they came out with the twin axle in early 2014.

Wildcat, by Forest river. Makes a Very nice 24 ft

Here is a beautiful 5th wheel..around 27ft. (Click Here)

Thanks for the link but we want to keep our trailer on the small size so we can park it in our yard, I would need to get a bigger truck for the bigger fifth wheels. I want something between our 17'& 21 ft. fifth wheel or a bumper pull. Thanks. Jay
