I don’t know if any of you folks follow the Escape Travel Trailer forum. I’ve been a member there for 15 or so years and I check in a couple times a week to see what they are saying about Oliver. They’re generally a touchy bunch especially about Oliver’s. Recently Escape has put out an advertisement to drum up business (I suppose that is the reason for all advertising). Anyway, the members over there are not particularly impressed with their own trailer’s marketing attempt and have been lamenting the quality of their video.


Here is the Escape video

On the other hand, they seem to have be quite impressed with Oliver’s latest video. One saying, “Now that’s how a trailer video should look.”

That Escape add is a bit corny, doesn’t really highlight the trailers just the silly bear.  Mike

It's funny, and corny, but may just be effective. After all, Escape has more views in 3 days on the bear video than Oliver's video (undoubtedly higher quality) has had in 3 months. (1.2k vs 1.1 k, at this time)

And, it found a spot in its major competitor's forum, as well.

The high viewership of the Escape video could be all the Escape owners clicking to see how bad it is (Oliver owners too). 

The bear delivered the best lines in the spot.

Legend has it that Elon wants an Oliver.  He is just waiting for the devs to install the Fart Mode system so he can feel at home.
