5.0

We have a "new to us" 2018 Escape 5.0 that is being lifted at our local RV shop. We are interested in switching from the stock single entry step to a double entry step. I did a search and read many forum posts related to Escape steps, but I was not able to locate the make and model of the...

We've been towing our 5.0 with a "beast" (2500 Dodge w diesel) for years. We're considering a newer truck with 6'+ bed. We like the Rams. Are there any issues,( brakes or suspension )related to setting up the fifth wheel in a half ton truck? Will a half ton. Handle it well?

We have read a lot about how happy virtually all the Ford 150 owners are towing their Fifth Wheel 5.0 TA trailers. And there are a lot of details buried in those threads. If a couple of you don't mind some repetition, here's my scenario and what do you think: Ordered a 2024 Escape 5.0 TA last...

We purchased a 2018 Escape 5.0 that we will tow with a 2024 Ford F150 4x4 (on order). Per Escape, any truck with the truck bed rails 56-58" requires the trailer to have a lift kit. Our truck will be at 56.5" so I am working on getting it lifted. Our local RV shop thinks the trailer is already...

I had this posted back in October, but decided not to sale at the time. Now our plans have changed and looking to sell now to purchase a Work and Play toy hauler for our golf cart. Great condition 5.0. New 31x10.50x15 cooper AT3s with 15x8 aluminum bullet holes. Located in western NC.

Just finished a new table that will allow us easier access to the U-bench seats at the dining table. Made of African Padauk and Canarywood.

This is the original 5.0 before they were supersized. More narrow than the current 5.0 however still 21' (around 2100lbs). Fits perfect behind my Tacoma, no need for extra mirrors. We bought this unit new and went to the factory each weekend to see the progress of the build. I pull it with...

Hello, just signed off on our build sheet for our 5.0 and I asked for them to supply but not install the Springfield pedestal and table. We plan on bringing along a smaller table or our own and installing the pedestal where it works better for us. So I've asked our sales person some questions...

We placed our deposit in April of 2021 and just heard that our 5.0 has entered production. If the stars align we are hoping to pick it up in Sumas in mid August. Our original completion date was June 16 of 2023. After accepting every early completion date Escape would offer we were able to...

My husband finds it very awkward and difficult to remove the brace that holds the propane tanks in place on the 5.0. Any tips?

Hi all, I deposited on the Escape website. I received an automated email that said I'd receive an email from an Escape team member within 5 business days. I didn't. So, my question is, what has been your experience? I wrote the accounting department just to make sure my deposit was...

Me and my wife are looking to purchase a newer model 5.0 or 21 with a preference for the 5.0. We live in Texas but are willing to travel anywhere in the USA. Text me at 979-587-7114 or email me at cashley1124@gmail.com

Greetings Escapers! Build sheet should arrive soon (so I've been told) meaning it wont be long before the build starts on our 5.0! I've owned a large rig before and there is always one or two things I would have loved to have had if only I was able to build it from the ground up. Wouldn't you...

Can I extend one of the landing gears further than the other to level the 5.0 side to side?

From what I could find with google the preferred jacking method for a 5.0 is for it to be hitched up with landing gears up and place jack under axle or frame near wheels. Any other advice? Do you see a problem with jacking up both sides to remove all four wheels at the same time?

Anyone have an Escape 5.0 we could view September 5th or 6th???? We will be in the Kingston NY area on September 5th heading back to Cape Cod on September 6th.

So we were all set to get a 19 and were looking into options and mods for that style camper, when we realized we could pull off a 5.0. So we're happy about that, but that throws off all of our modding ideas. First and foremost, the dinette. We want the Lagun table, but having the U-shaped...

I've seen a few posts asking what truck people are towing the 5.0 with. How many of you have 4x4? Do you think it is necessary? Anyone worry about getting stuck in sand, wet grass, etc. with 2w drive? Thanks.

Hi, We think the Escape 5.0 with the dual axle is the cat's meow but cant afford or need a brand new one. Our current vehicle, a 2018 Honda Ridgeline, wont pull it so we are looking for someone wanting to sell both their well loved trailer along with a comfortable diesel truck. If it worked out...

Has any one ever considered, or investigated installing an Escape Storage Box, on the rear of a 5.0? I searched the threads for 5.0 and storage, but found nothing. Sorry if it’s been discussed, and I missed it. I guess you could eliminate the Bike receiver, and, perhaps with a lifted...

Hello! It has been a real privilege to learn from so many great members of this community. If I may ask, I need a favor. My husband and I have our heart set on finding and buying a discontinued Escape 5.0 single axel. We are looking for this specific configuration for how we want to...

Someday I will have a new 5.0 and already thinking about using it. Escape suggests the Andersen Ultimate. The Andersen video shows mounting on a gooseneck ball and I see Andersen also lists what looks the same but mounts on rails. I have neither rails nor a ball in my truck now. The ball can...

Hi all, I have been reading the forum for weeks, you all helped my decision to purchase an Escape! Just put down deposit for an Escape 5.0TA last month, now in the market for a new RAM 1500 truck with Crew cab. I'd appreciate your feedback on truck configuration, what are the must have and good...

We are in a pickle. We have committed to buying a 2009 escape 5.0. Very excited about it. However getting the rails for a 5th wheel hitch into my 2010 ford ranger has proven to be difficult. We had a local installer who said they had done it in the past. We waited 2 weeks for the install...

Awesome adventurers camper, Great shape. If interested, send reply with email and I will forward spec's and pictures. Located near Houston, Tx
