Seeking a quality built highly functional TT - suggestions?

I've been shopping for a smaller high quality TT. I'd like to find an interior closer to a cruise ship cabin rather than a house. I've looked at Airstreams, Casitas and Scamps. These TT's appear to be rock solid, but the Airstreams are too pricey, the Scamps and Casitas too small. I'm about to put a deposit on a Escape 19, which is built by Escape Trailer Industries, in Canada. I'm concerned about not having a dealer network to support service or warranty problems.

Can anybody out there suggest something different that I should look at? Fortunately I have a couple of years (which I need for the Escape)

Take a look at Starcraft and Jayco. They both offer a 2 year warranty.

2 years for Escape.

Minimum in Australia is 3 yrs, why so short?


Probably because the prices for RV's in Australia are much higher than they are here and they are much different products.

After much research and having owned both a cheap Travel Trailer and a higher quality Arctic Fox truck camper, we just put our deposit down for an Escape 19 to be built in 2017. Escape will most likely sell out of available 2017 build dates in the next few days. The first day they opened up production slots used up Jan-May. There is a lot of demand for these because they check most of the boxes for a lot of people.

If you like those but want larger = look at Bigfoot.

(I'm posting several short messages as I am having problems with the serve)

I've heard about the Northwoods before - there are no dealers or used ones around here. I'll look though. I've heard they are good. I went by a Lance dealer and liked what I saw. Thanks for the input.

The Oliver is spectacular. It's expensive - almost in the Airstream pricepoint. It's also a sideline for a company that does other stuff, so I'm not sure about the brand sustainability - or the resale-ability. I don't want to get stuck with an over priced orphan. But DANG the Oliver looks cool!
The Sunline was on my short list last time I was shopping for an RV.

Thank you for the input. You are normally a reserved and diminutive non-partisan group that holds back opinions and embraces multiple truths. Sorry for the sarcasm. I received exactly what I wanted. Airstream: Overpriced even used, and it doesn't take much to mess the cool finish.
