Used 2018 K-Z RV Escape 180RBT — Churchville, NY

The 2018 Escape 180RBT is K-Z RV's compact camper on the Hybrid floor plan. This one is used and listed at $11,092. At 21 ft 4 in it is right around the median length for a compact camper (21 ft 10 in). Dry weight is 3,220 lb, below the 3,774 lb median for the category.

Plan around 3,800 lb loaded rather than the dry figure. A full-size SUV or mid-size pickup handles it comfortably; a weight-distribution hitch is worth fitting at this weight.

GVWR is 4,500 lb, leaving about 1,280 lb for water, propane, gear and passengers before you reach the limit. With no slide-outs there is less to maintain and one fewer thing to fail on the road. Sleeping capacity is 8 — more than the 6 typical of the category.

That is a 23% reduction on the $14,399 MSRP — $3,307 off. It comes in under the $12,239 category median.

Among its listed features are skylight above tub, patio awning, microwave and battery. It ships from Churchville, NY door-to-door to any of the 50 states, inspected before it leaves, at one transparent price with no dealer fees.
