Spree Escape or Roo? opinions?

We have a weight issue (Acadia with tow package has 5200lbs towing capacity) and a hybrid seems to be our best bet. It will be 2 adults and 3 small kids and we need the space without the weight. We are thinking about the Roo or the Spree Escape Hybrid E20RBT. We are not too familiar with either models besides looking at the Roo's and I am curious which one is better rated? Less leaks, wear and tear, better quality etc. This is our first trailer, so we are very new to all this. I have not met anyone who has had an Escape, so I don't have any second hand knowledge.

Has anyone seen these two and can give me some feedback about which one is good for now?

first, your Acadia has a 5200lbs. towing capacity IF it has the factory tow package AND only a 150lb. driver in it.
the extra adult and kids weights, along with any cargo in the car, will lower that 5200 number by their total weight.
this will also impact the Acadia's payload capacity, along with the 100lbs. WDH you'll need to pull a hybrid with.

i suggest you look at the Roo/Shamrock 183, instead of the Escape due to the its lighter hitch weight. overall the weights are close.
the Roo/Shamrock hybrids are much more popular and get much better pricing than the KZ.
check RVW and RVDirect's prices on the Roo or Shamrock.
