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.

Hello Robert, my table is 22” x 28”. No real reason behind the measurements. Had I been thinking I would have made it at least 31 inches long so it would drop into the position of helping with turning it to a full size bed if needed!

Does the Lagun mounting leg slide over the existing casita floor mount. I can’t tell from the Lagun site if the leg is round or square.

[@Sunny-jq2bi]

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.

[@TravelsandTravails]

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 love the way the lagun system is in the casita pole instead of attached to wall. Has anyone else tried this, and if so what system is needed. I have a used, new to me, independence with the tall southern mattresses so I need the height. I have, I believe, longer poles already and we have tried the original tables and made a round table but it still isn’t cutting it. I don’t want to install a lagun on a cabinet wall so this idea is the best for me. Is there a way to actually contact the actual owner of this modification? Thanks much.

[@debbieburwell2594]

Found a response on the casita Mods site: Here is the Mod description we dropped the Lagun pole that goes down to the mounting base right into the existing table leg that came with the Casita. Then my husband drilled a hole through the Casita table pole approximately where we wanted it as far as height and was level with the top of the Lagun so that it would still swivel. To measure where to drill the hole i. The Casit leg, he laid the Lagun on the outside of the Casita leg, side my side, so he could see where the mounting hols were that were i. The Lagun as to line up an existing hole already on the Lagun leg. Then dropped the Lagun down i. The Casita pole and ran the bolt through for stabilization.

How did you install the table?

[@RobertJones-sj9tk]

You have been so kind in answering my questions. I noticed on the Lagun website that there were 2 table leg lengths-one was standard and one was longer. Which leg size did you get-the standard leg or the longer leg? Thanks again.

[@Sunny-jq2bi]

I went with the standard length one and it has worked well. They are so versatile with adjustments and rotation!

[@TravelsandTravails]

Thanks Louise! We also have the standard table length!

[@Sunny-jq2bi]

I hope you get yours and enjoy it as much as we do ours😊

@@TravelsandTravails they are perfect for these little trailers!

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. Thank you!

Does the rig have a hot water heater and water pump?

[@TravelsandTravails]

Yes. Both.

I think the only thing I don't like about the casitas, is the carpet walls and ceiling

[@TravelsandTravails]

A lot of people say that. I think it gives it a warm homey feeling.

[@Sunny-jq2bi]

Oh yea? I thought it would be weird, but I realize after getting mine, I dont mind it at all and is quite cozy🥰

[@eh3477]

I wonder about that carpet attracting moisture, mildew, or mold...?

[@Sunny-jq2bi]

@@eh3477 I have not had any problems. I live in Arizona and it does get quite humid, but I have not ever had to deal with a rainy season where I live. I know if you look on some the forums or facebook Casita groups, people have some great information regarding humidity, condensation, and dehumidifiers.

[@eh3477]

@@Sunny-jq2bi Many thanks! Will follow up on groups/ forums.

I'm 6'3". I'm worried I will have issues with the bed size being to small and short.

[@TravelsandTravails]

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.

[@Sunny-jq2bi]

With the measurements being 76 inches. You will just have to see. If you were slightly angled Im sure you would fit. There are people at will show you their Casita depending on the area you live. You can call Casita and they have a list of those that will.

[@margarethammock799]

Why do Casita's not come with an oven??? I need an oven, Love to bake!!!

[@TravelsandTravails]

I don’t know…. Probably to save space.

[@margarethammock799]

It can go in that space where most people put a microwave

[@TravelsandTravails]

@@margarethammock799 Good Point!

[@Sunny-jq2bi]

Not real sure. Some purchase the Omnia oven and I have seen some with the camp chef ovens they use outdoors

Gracias!

[@edadpops1709]

My only negative is the casita is poorly insulated it isn’t a 4 season trailer . The escape is more money but is a true 4 season trailer

[@TravelsandTravails]

The Escape is really not that much more since you’re paying Canadian dollars. If you really want something 4-season, I would get the Escape.

What's the point of bringing hubby if he sleeps in "his own area"? I LOVE being single and have a GSD who sleeps in "her own area"! 😂😂😂

[@Sunny-jq2bi]

So I can sleep peacefully lol. With that being said I travel with a pitty and a minpin that cuddle with me😊

[@TravelsandTravails]

I’ve gotten a lot of flack (mostly from men) about sleeping separately from my husband in our Casita Independence. I was single before we got married and got the Casita, so I know how you feel. But when I don’t have to climb over him in the middle of the night, it’s great. If you’re young, you wouldn’t understand. But you will. I hope you find the man of your dreams. I did.

[@Sunny-jq2bi]

@@TravelsandTravails this is a great reply. For me, sleeping together does not gauge the value in your relationship, but I view it as the value you place on the relationship as a whole and the other person.
