Escape 5.0

Pickup owners who want a molded fiberglass shell and a fifth-wheel hitch get both in the Escape 5.0, and Escape keeps a towing-compatibility sheet for matching trucks. A bench seat is standard with a U-shaped dinette optional, and it sleeps four. Escape sells factory-direct from British Columbia at around $45,000 so ask for a current quote before planning around it.
