SacsTC & I are down here in QZ in Las Posas South - so we decided to find an Excel or two here...
..BUT there MUST be an easier way to tell them apart from other 5ers when you are some distance away??? 
Can you experts give me some tips please!!??

Just look for the empty beer cans and bottles rolling out in the street in front of the rig!!!  
The only thing that really stands out is the hightop fiberglass roof (unless you got a RT or Classic model) and of course, the big Excel decal on the front cap. From the rear most have 3 round lights (except the antiques )Most running lights are LEDs. Am I missing anything else guys? . Excel trailers don't really have any real big thing that sticks out and says "look at me". Many owners prefer that. HTH Mama Have fun!

One thing that stands out is the roofline that drops over the main living area. Excel and some older HH's are the only ones I've noticed.

I see I was a little slow.

Bet this is the first thing Barack fixes! Only in America!
So how far did you go MM? Keep the leash on Sacs! I heard he had animal tendencies!

As a fellow SKP, I see the rig with the Escapees decal. Now which side of the sign is the rig?
I may have to be careful the next time I knock on the door of a fellow SKP!!!
