You obviously won’t really know what all you need until you get it and use it, but it’s a great start to learn a lot of stuff about them. These videos on KZbin were very helpful to me, as well as the Facebook groups on Casita’s.

I really like this bed set-up and have been experimenting with it since viewing your video. I like the space it frees up to walk around a little more. I was about ready to give up on my 2020 Casita SD but really can't afford the Escape 21 to avoid the crawl over situation. This gives me hope!!! What I cannot figure out is how the cushions fit together in the back portion to form the 2nd twin bed plus the small dining/sitting area. I have tried every cushion piece in every position and I am unable to figure this out. You had stated that is was approx 30 inches wide and that you used the current full bed cushions. Please help me figure this out. I desperately want to make this work! Thanks! I do not have facebook so I am unable to glean any ideas there.

@Sunny-jq2bi
@Sunny-jq2bi 2 жыл бұрын
Hello David, the Lagun leg mount is somewhat square. What we did was slid the mounting leg that came with the Lagun table right down inside the existing table pole that comes with the Casita for mounting their table. We then drilled a hole through the Casita pole and ran a bolt through the Casita pole and through the existing holes that the Lagun table leg comes with for height adjustments, so that just the top of the Lagun table leg was sticking out. Then we attached our table that we made and had already attached the Lagun table mounting plate that comes with the Lagun table.

Yes, when I purchased my Casita, I dis choose the upgrade as I did for alot of things. I wasn’t sure what all I would actually want/ need since I had never camped before, but I figured I might as well get it all! I do not regret any of the extras and have never felt as tho I lacked any kind of storage. I still have lots of availability for storage and I consider myself a,”what if” , kind of person.

been flip flopping on which Casita to order. Liked Independence to avoid the 'crawl over' but felt the plan is too confining in other ways. We were ready to order the Freedom with those rocking captain chairs, but the option y'all set up I think is the ways to go.

They did a great job with this set up and it feels much roomier than our Independence, as long as you aren't tall people. The bed in the Independence is 83" long. We also considered the Freedom before we bought our Independence, but decided against the "climb over."

I love the option that I came up with from all the help of fellow Casita owners on the facebook pages and forums. I had actually listed mine to sell since the sleeping was horrible with how my husband sleeps. It was a last ditch effort and an amazing improvement! Super easy to do actually also. Now we can all sit around the table dinette style and I can sleep comfortably also😊

Let me know if this helps or if you have more questions at all.

@@OPSteel97 It will slide right in, but since the Lagun table post is so slim, it needs to be attached to the post so that it doesn't flop around. Here is how Louise did it: the Lagun leg mount is somewhat square. What we did was slid the mounting leg that came with the Lagun table right down inside the existing table pole that comes with the Casita for mounting their table. We then drilled a hole through the Casita pole and ran a bolt through the Casita pole and through the existing holes that the Lagun table leg comes with for height adjustments, so that just the top of the Lagun table leg was sticking out. Then we attached our table that we made and had already attached the Lagun table mounting plate that comes with the Lagun table.

The bed is 76" long, but that's on the straight portion. The curved portion is smaller. If you want a Casita with a longer bed, the Independence has twin beds that are 83" long. You'll still have to duck when you are inside the Casita as there is only 6' 1/2" in the interior and the bathroom is even shorter because of the curve.
