Regret is expensive—how do you avoid it?
👉 The truth is simple—but it’s something most RV companies won’t admit:
In most RV manufacturing, you can have Fast, Cheap, or Quality—but you only get
two.
Let’s break down what that really means in today’s RV market.
What Most RV Brands Do (and Why It Shows)
You may have seen that video from Jayco proudly showing a trailer built in under 7 hours — one of 32 completed that same day.
To some, that might sound efficient. But to RV owners, it sounds like trouble waiting to happen.
Mass manufacturers like Jayco tend to go for “Fast and Cheap.”
The result?
❗️Trailers that leak within months
❗️Mold issues due to rushed seals
❗️Frames and wiring that don’t last long on the road
What That Jayco 7-Hour Build Really Shows
Let’s look at a few of the 100+ comments of that viral Jayco video, where a full trailer is “assembled” in under a day. The comments say it all:
A WSJ investigation found that Forest River—owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway—had many recalls per year, with serious issues like:
-Faulty wiring and fire hazards
-Water damage from poor sealing
-Panels warping or peeling off
Even “luxury” RV brands aren’t immune.
They chase
“Fast and Quality,”
but often include a 40% dealer markup — meaning you’re paying extra for aesthetic upgrades, not core build quality.
The Escape Trailer Difference
We build differently—on purpose.
Here’s what makes us different:
✓ Direct-to-consumer only – no middlemen, no dealer markups.
✓ No shareholder pressure – we’re not publicly traded, so no need to cut corners for stock prices.
✓ Focus on quality craftsmanship – not just speed or scale.
We take about one month per trailer—and that’s intentional. Every model is custom-built and hand-inspected. We believe RV quality shouldn’t be rushed.
Built for Real Travelers, Not Assembly Lines
Our trailers are designed for people who actually use their RVs—not just park them for show.
What that means for you:
❌ No leaks from seams or panels
❌ No flimsy frame– just solid, long-lasting construction with a one-piece fiberglass shell
❌ No shortcuts just to meet production quotas
Think of Escape as a premium, practical choice for travelers who value craftsmanship and durability over flashy luxury.

Why It’s Worth Waiting for an Escape Trailer
When you invest in an Escape, you’re getting:
✓ Handcrafted quality
✓ Higher resale value
✓ Peace of mind that your trailer won’t fall apart after one trip
We know taking a month to build sounds slow—but ask our customers if it’s worth it.
Spoiler: They’ll tell you yes.
We don’t follow the industry shortcuts. We follow craftsmanship.
