Good update. We have a 2005 Liberty that we have over 50,000 miles on in the last 10 years. Everything that Casita does different is bettery than traditional trailers. All the RV industry standard components are the same. The simplicity of the Casita is one of their best features. If there is a problem, you can find it and fix it. My experience is that folks who trade from Casitas are driven by the need for size or luxury.

We've had our Casita for nine months now and have put 10K on her. Completed Route 66 and are looking forward to our New England trip this summer. However, the WFCO converter failed, and after two months of looking we haven't found anyone locate to repair it and no help from WFCO. Casita has recommended people but they've all flaked out on us. We love our trailer, but this converter issue has been a real thorn in our side. Would I buy one again...hell yes!
@ralphp305710 ай бұрын
Have had my Casita for three years! So far no troubles ! I hope I don’t get any converter issues. They are pretty easy to change out if needed. But , many people don’t like messing with electric issues. Any mobile RV service near you? Good luck !

The power supply can be purchased on Amazon and is easy to install. If you are not comfortable working with electricity any electrician can install it. RV dealers can install it but they are usually expensive and take all time to complete the work. I would agree with ralphp3057 and try a mobile RV service.

The exterior front storage addition looks quite useful, but seems like it would considerably alter the aerodynamics of the trailor, which is one of the positives of the Casita.

Awesome video! Seem like you guys are pretty cool people! Very informational, we have been going back n forth on various travel trailers, everything from fiberglass ones to Airstream Bambi (whew expensive). I love the Casita, but my wife thinks they look, “cheap.” I actually think they look nice and affordable. I see that your Jeep pulls yours, how much does your casita weigh dry? With all the stuff in it, how much does it weigh? I wonder if my Bronco can pull it? (it has a 3500 lb limit). Thanks again! I enjoyed your video, and I am going to subscribe now. God Bless!
@CasitaRvLife2 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching. We love the Casita and our roofs will not leak like most trailers. The dry weight is about 2500 lbs and about 3100 lbs loaded. The tow weight of our jeep is 3500 lbs.

Thanks. I have not had any problem back feeding to the Jeep battery. According to the local Jeep dealer the jeep has diodes in the system to prevent current coming from the trailer to the Jeep. I don't know for sure but can only go on the information they provided.

If you want to really be terrified, look at some of the KZbin videos on camper horror stories. One person that I read about in the very first year they owned their new camper, it was in the shop for 8 months. Casita is one of the highest quality campers that you can buy. I know this because we bought one. Other campers even brand new have major things wrong with them. Some friends of mine bought a brand new camper and had things happen like the floor caving in, the roof leaking, and an electrical wire in an outlet that caused a fire. Trust me, you will be happy with your Casita. Also the Casita does not depreciate and holds its resale value. Oftentimes you can sell a Casita these days for more than you paid for it because the wait times are so long at the factory.
