Thank you, RV Travel! 🙂 Seems a bit ironic, huh? that an Escape RV might catch fire due to a manufacturing defect and cause the owners to … escape. 🤔 😯😉 Seriously, too bad that still another manufacturer had to issue a recall. Glad that they discovered the error, sad that it happened at all. Thanks again, have a great weekend, safe travel, and safe stays! 🙂
