Why buyers love Escape Trailer Industries
Escape Trailer Industries has built molded-fiberglass travel trailers in Chilliwack, British Columbia since 1996, and it occupies a very different corner of the RV world than the high-volume Indiana builders. Every Escape is made to order from a two-piece molded fiberglass shell — no wood-framed walls to rot, no seams along the roofline to leak — and sold factory-direct, so you configure the trailer with a personalization specialist and pick it up at the factory or arrange delivery rather than walking a dealer lot. The lineup is small and focused: the compact Escape 19, the popular Escape 21 (offered in the classic 21C and the newer 21NE), the larger Escape 23, and the Escape 5.0 TA, a 21-foot fifth wheel light enough for a half-ton truck. These are genuinely light trailers — most sit between 3,100 and 4,600 pounds dry — with an aerodynamic shape and low center of gravity that make them easy and stable to tow behind a mid-size SUV or half-ton. The honest tradeoffs are real and worth naming: build slots can carry long wait times, the factory-direct model means service and warranty work often require coordinating with a distant factory or a mobile tech rather than a local dealer, and owners do report first-year quality-control items like wiring, plumbing, and appliance glitches that need sorting. But the fiberglass-RV community rates Escape near the top of its niche, resale value is exceptional, and the customer service reputation is strong. Below is the current Escape range with real specs, real floor plans, and a candid read on what owners love and what to watch — so you can shop an Escape knowing exactly what you are getting.
Here's the part the lot won't tell you: the best Escape deals are usually two to four years old. Let the first owner eat the steep early depreciation, then buy a trailer that's already been shaken down, with the bugs sorted and the records to prove it. That's exactly the kind of unit our RV buyer's agents hunt for, and we run an independent inspection on every one before you wire a dollar. Already own one and ready to move on? We'll list and sell it through our RV broker service for the retail number it's worth — not the wholesale gutting a dealer offers on trade.
What owners love
- Molded-fiberglass construction that lasts. The two-piece shell has no wood framing to rot and no roof seams to leak, which is the single biggest reason these trailers age so well and resist water intrusion.
- Exceptional resale value. Escape's small-batch, build-to-order production and loyal community mean used examples routinely sell within a few thousand dollars of their original price, often years later.
- Light, stable towing and factory-direct value. Low dry weights and an aerodynamic profile make Escapes easy to tow with a half-ton or mid-size SUV, and buying direct from the factory cuts out dealer markup.
What to watch
- No dealer network. Factory-direct means service, warranty work, and pickup revolve around Chilliwack, BC or a mobile technician — a real consideration if you live far from the factory.
- Long wait times and limited supply. Build-to-order slots can stretch many months, and there is no lot full of inventory to buy from today, so patience is part of the deal.
- First-year quality-control items happen. Owners report wiring, plumbing, water-heater, and appliance glitches in the first year that need sorting — inspect a used Escape's systems, seals, and frame carefully despite the durable shell.
What Escape Trailer Industries owners are saying
Escape enjoys one of the strongest reputations in the molded-fiberglass RV niche. On the company's own aggregated reviews it shows about 4.7 out of 5 across roughly 97 reviews, and across the dedicated fiberglass-RV communities — the Escape Trailer Owners Community (escapeforum.org) and Fiberglass RV (fiberglassrv.com) — owners consistently rank Escape at or near the top of the small-trailer field for build quality, customer service, and resale value. The recurring praise is for the durable molded-fiberglass shell, the customization available through the factory-direct ordering process, and how well the trailers hold their value. The recurring cautions are equally consistent: long build wait times, the logistics of factory-direct service when you do not live near Chilliwack, and first-year quality-control items such as wiring, plumbing, water-heater, and appliance glitches that some owners had to sort out. Independent reviewers who have toured the factory and the models describe them as very well made by a company that operates differently from the mainstream, with unusually strong communication and service. As with any RV, condition varies unit to unit, so a careful pre-purchase inspection of systems, seals, and the frame is still essential on a used Escape.
“Build quality is certainly good but the company itself is very impressive.”
“A good buy for the money if you want a fiberglass trailer without paying for the most expensive brands.”
“Factory-direct purchase affords opportunity to order to your specific liking.”
“Had some quality-control issues the first year: a broken brake wire and a water-heater control failure.”
“Escapes are made in Canada and can customize trailers in numerous ways others will not.”
“An RV company that actually offers a composting toilet as an option is quite surprising.”
