Keep reading to learn about Escape Trailers and the masterminds behind the brand. We also look at their lineup and floorplans.
Let’s take a closer look at these unique trailers.
About Escape Trailers
Escape Trailers first came about in 1993. At the time, Reace and Tammy Harmatuik purchased old fiberglass campers to repair them. People kept asking if the refurbished units were for rent, so they began renting them out.
The business began to grow into making their own fiberglass trailers from scratch. By 2012, they were selling direct to consumers with an emphasis on quality control, customer service, and fair pricing.
In 2018, Escape Trailers partnered with KV Private Equity to take the company to the next level. Today, they continue to innovate and add new features that owners are looking for.
Who Makes Escape Trailers?
The Harmatuiks own Escape Trailers. A growing team of designers and technicians build the fiberglass campers. With seven trailers in their lineup, they have a lot to manage and build.
The team is trusted and highly regarded by Escape owners. They have a loyal following you’ll see at rallies, such as their 10th-anniversary rally.
Where Are Escape Trailers Made?
The Escape Trailers headquarters is in Chilliwack, British Columbia. While customers come from throughout North America to pick up their Escape, Canadians are particularly loyal to the lightweight fiberglass rigs.
You can visit their showroom. It’s open in the mornings and by appointment only.
What Makes an Escape Trailer Unique?
Being lightweight, fiberglass, and affordable are among the top things that make Escape Trailers unique.
Construction is one of the most important factors to consider in an RV. A lightweight fiberglass trailer is strong, durable, and well-insulated. And it can be molded into an aerodynamic design, which increases fuel efficiency.
Other benefits of fiberglass include reduced dust and critters sneaking inside due to the limited seams. The fiberglass is mold-resistant.
On a whole, fiberglass trailers require minimal maintenance, making them a good investment. Escape Trailers come in at a fair price point with the promise of longevity.
