RV REVIEW
“IT ISN’T THE BIGGEST, SHOWIEST VAN OUT
THERE, BUT WHAT IT DOES, IT DOES WELL.”
Up front, two 9kg gas cylinders are secured
to the drawbar, though I reckon a guard for the
regulator (or perhaps a full mesh stoneguard
for the cylinders and regulator) wouldn’t go
astray.
Along the nearside, the Escape has a Dometic
roll-out awning, a couple of marine-grade
speakers, a 12V point, a fold-out entry step and
entry grab handle. And sometimes, it’s the little
things that stand out. Here, it’s the picnic table
for one simple reason: it requires no keys.
At the rear, the Escape has a shower and
camera, as well as a bumper-mounted spare
wheel. The smooth black aluminium contrasts
nicely against the white ribbed aluminium.
SUMMING UP
I said earlier that we once described the 18ft
6in version of this van as one Australia’s best-
value caravans. But at $51,490 tow-away,
this slightly larger model gives it a run for its
money. It isn’t the biggest, showiest van out
there, but what it does, it does well. And looks
great doing it.
