Thanks for the video tour. We are interested in finding an Independence Deluxe to use in CA. The twin beds are an important feature, and you mentioned they are 36”. Can you confirm? We thought they were only 30”, and that might be a deal maker or breaker. Thank you!

Microwaves work just fine with a solar panel, battery, and inverter, or your trucks alternator. Every time I hear “it has to be plugged in” I want to scream
@rigwhisperer8 ай бұрын
You're right. I don't use a microwave at home so I didn't even think to use an inverter. Problem is there's only one battery in the Casita and it's not even lithium.

I rather have the liberty. More room between benches. I would be by myself and a car. I would twin size sleep across the back then have more room for lounging. The cat might have its bed underneath mine that it could get easily or sleep where ever it wants to.

I miss our Casita , we lived full time 9 months while our house was being rebuilt after tropical storm Alison ! The AC put me right to sleep with the sound , no alarm clock needed just wait for the sun to glow through the carpet on the walls 🤣😂🤣😂!

The Curt anti sway bar works fine and is much easier to deal with than the Anderson system. It is also available as an add on. Do prefer the Spirit over the Independence, because the bed and eating areas are separate, and remain set up all the time. We are not primitive campers, so mine is equipped completely different than yours. We absolutely enjoy our Casita and will never change it out. Your decals seem to be missing.

the fuel bottle ? there has to be a better way ?it's simi permanent lock the stove down and plumb a hose and mount the fuel bottle ? why are the spices always so hard to use why do the cups have to be moved , a utensil drawer ? do you have to have the whole box on another flat surface for the table to be used ?

Can you please tell me what you can use your solar to generate?
@rigwhisperer Жыл бұрын
All of your 12v systems. Interior and exterior lights, the refrigerator panel (I ran it on propane) and most importantly the water pump so you can wash dishes, shower, and flush the toilet

I JUST picked up my Casita Spirit and have many questions but I purchased the add on of the 230w solar panel. I was disappointed at my pick up that it sounded like the solar was only good for the indoor lights when off grid. What do you find the solar energy good for panels good for?

I owned an '88 Casita. Pretty much what you have there. I got it for about $7700 out the door. Very under made, and VERY under suspended. I hope you didn't pay more than $20K in todays dollars. It was one of those campers that was made on a Monday and Friday. At the time, you could only get service from Rice Tx. I moved to Wa.State. I toted a POS all that way there and back to NC. Axle sheered off with nothing in it. But, if you're happy with it....😳

We also have the indep dlx and agree! We do the single beds most of the time because it gives so much walking space. We went from new newmar 45 ft diesel to this and 100 percent made the right decision. Now to outfit with solar!

Are the beds really 36” deep? I thought they were 26 inches deep. It would be great if you could confirm for us because we are making covers soon.

Either store the solar panels in the back of the pickup or inside the Casita on the floor... Its nearly the last thing to store or the first to set up at a campsite...

Nice Review on the Independence Deluxe! Thank you for sharing your height. I too am 6' and I see you had headroom except under the A/C unit. I thought I needed the Independece Deluxe becuase of the longer beds... Since you fit east-west, do you think the Freedom Deluxe would match better becuase it has the 2 Captains Chairs and small table? Thanks Again! Cheers, Eric
@rigwhisperer8 ай бұрын
Yes. I would have preferred the Spirt over the Independence. Spirit has more storage than the Freedom.
