Let’s be real for a second: a lot of what you see about RV living on the internet is highly staged, perfectly aesthetic, and entirely fake. Today, we’re addressing some feedback we received about our videos not being "glamorous" enough, why we refuse to sell you a fantasy, and why Escape Trailers actually values our raw, honest approach.
Speaking of Escape, we are down at the factory taking a first look at their brand-new "Hybrid Bath" design inside an Escape 23! We do some real-world testing, checking out the dimensions, the step-up, and whether this new layout actually fixes the classic wet-bath problem. We want to hear your thoughts on this design, so watch the walkthrough and drop your feedback in the comments below!
Also in this episode: Joel reviews what might be the most depressing, lackluster rental car on the planet, and we head back to Costco after a massive food-spoilage disaster that apparently every RVer in Canada knows about.
Welcome to Cozy Living Machine, our daily vlog where we enjoy and explore full-time RV living, boondocking, off-grid adventures, solar power, and e-bike travel. Join Joel, Emma, and Colt as we embrace freedom, independence, and adventure on the open road in our Escape 24 travel trailer.
