    Got our new Escape Hatch 17
    Today. I have a 2008 Taco. I got the Equalizer 4 weight distribution hitch, and a scan guage to monitor trans temp. Just driving home on a cooler day over small inclines trans got up to 205, so I think an aftermarket cooler is likely needed (live in the Rockies). Pulled smooth, but slow.... pretty nervous about mountain passes and how slow I will be - not sure I will be even able to get to 45 mph over steep inclines but will see... mostly stayed in 4th going up or 3rd down (automatic)... it's scary being a newbie but also exciting. The
    clip on tow mirrors sucked - need to find something better...... adventure begins!

    Looks good. I’d upgrade the trans cooler to a bigger one. It makes a good difference.

    Looks awesome! I’m looking into this trailer as well. Do you have more pictures or thoughts on how you’re liking it so far??

    I had some questions that I haven’t been able to find elsewhere. Are the windows screened? Is there a ventilation fan anywhere in the trailer besides that port in the bathroom? Thanks in advance!
