2026 Escape Escape 5.0 TA for Sale

The Escape 5.0 TA is the brand's molded-fiberglass fifth wheel, and one of the very few fifth wheels on the market light enough to tow with a half-ton truck. The "TA" stands for tandem axle, and at about 21'2" and just 3,910 pounds dry — placing only around 630 pounds on the pin — it is a genuine outlier in a fifth-wheel world where most rigs demand a three-quarter- or one-ton truck. The one-piece fiberglass shell over the bed gives it the same rot-free, leak-resistant durability as the rest of the line, while the fifth-wheel layout buys a separate, elevated sleeping area and a more open main living space with an unusually high ceiling for a trailer this small. Inside you get a full wet bath, a real galley, comfortable living and dining, and Escape's full menu of factory personalization. It has earned recognition in the fiberglass-RV community and the RV press as a uniquely capable small fifth wheel. The usual Escape realities apply — factory-direct ordering from Chilliwack, build wait times, no local dealer, and a careful inspection of the hitch, systems, and seals on a used unit — but if you want true fifth-wheel hitching and layout without stepping up to a heavy-duty truck, the 5.0 TA is almost in a class of its own.
