    CW has a travel trailer I have some interest in, but I've read some mixed reviews about purchasing from them? Anyone with any experiences with them?

    Does anyone do Seasonal Camping with an Escape?

    As I get closer to retirement, I've thought about getting a seasonal spot. There are some nice ones in a few Provincial Parks, on the water, not an open field with trailer next to trailer and not water/sewer hookup. Does anyone have any experience with seasonally camping in your Escape? No...
