When I was camping and traveling in the South/East last year I noticed that what I'd call a "trailer" was frequently referred to by the locals as a "camper".
Arrived today: my new "camper" (when I'm not in my FWC).
It's an Escape Trailer Industries "19". Molded fiberglass, built to order in Chilliwack, BC, Canada.

Congratulations Mark! Julie says it is beautiful. I add that it's pretty darn luxurious. Really nice! Where's the maiden voyage?

Have two friends who got an Escape instead of a Casita or Scamp. they are both very happy with the quality of build and lack of warranty issues so many trailers seem to have. Looks great.

Thanks, guys.
So, how do they get the trailer from Chilliwack, BC to pavement in Bend, Oregon?
It came from Chilliwack on a flat-bed semi which brought it to a towing company in Bend -- to make use of the tow-company's tilt-bed "tow truck".
Here the semi is still carrying my trailer (with the tilt-bed truck backed up to it):
Here the trailer has been moved from the semi onto the tilt-bed (view from the other side from previous pic):
Here the trailer has been winched down the tilted bed to the pavement:
And finally connected to my truck. The towing company guys were very helpful getting it hitched up -- I'm a total novice when it comes to towing.

That looks darn nice.
Where I live people might just call that 'home'.
