Customizing our Escape

In February 2020 we purchased a 2014 Escape Trailer from the original owner. It was in great shape and we began customizing it to our personal taste. 

Here's a list of the modifications we've done:

* Installed a Lagun table mount. The previous owner had not installed the table, so there were no holes in the floor to deal with. Tim crafted a smaller table top and covered it with white Formica. 

* Recovered the cushions in an effort to banish the brown. We removed the old upholstery and used them as patterns for the new, also removed the zippers and re-used them. 

* Recovered the valances. 

* Long storage drawer under bed to make access to storage space.

* Installed an Arctic Tern Window in the front, above the bed. We wanted more light and ventilation at the head of the bed, while still being able to sit up in bed to watch television or read. The sliding window on the side doesn't stop rain from coming in (as we learned during one of our first trips).

From the inside. We love the light it gives to this end of the trailer, and the fresh air at night.

* 2 -100AH Lithium Batteries

* Ceramic water filter

* Changed the shelving unit between the main door and bathroom. We removed the panel and installed more shelves to provide additional storage space. 

* Replaced all the Formica. 

* Install outside water faucet. 

* Added a factory storage box

* Install automatic transfer switch for inverter.
