    The best Casita video out there. You’re trailer is exactly what I’m considering. Thank you for taking time to explain everything. Very helpful. Simplicity and living small is what my wife and I are working towards as we near retirement. Purge, purge, purge things. Cheers!

    So I put a toaster oven in mine. So far no troubles. I was concerned about the carpet fibers overheating and melting, especially on the bottom where the metal makes contact with the carpet. So I went to Lowes and purchased a sheet of concrete backer board. Cut it down to the right size and put the oven on top. I always check to make sure no metal parts of the oven are touching any carpet before use. My oven is about the same size as your microwave. So the air gaps are just big enough. I've used it a few times already, as I have not much use for a microwave. But I must have my pizza and air fries!

    Hey Matt & Dave! Love this video! My wife and I are picking up our used '23 Casita Independence Deluxe next weekend, so we're "doing our research" on CZcams! (What did we ever do before CZcams?!) We LOVE what you guys have done with your Casita and we're taking notes! Two questions, if you don't mind. Have you guys named your Casita and Matt where did you get your shirt!? It looks super comfy!

      Hey! Glad you liked it! And congrats on the new trailer, I’m sure you will love it. We named our Casita “Game Changer” because it completely changed how we travel. With regards to my shirt, it is indeed very comfortable, I’ve had it for a while and I think I got it at Costco.

    I love to see how people organize the interior of their Casita. You have done a great job at keeping things to a minimum. We did install a Katy's Closet which I love, because being two women we do bring a little more than you do. We still have so much unused space. It's very deceiving the amount of the storage this little trailer has. We do travel with one of the tables and only put it up on rainy days, otherwise we eat and hang out outside.

    We have a 2018 Liberty Deluxe, which is very similar to yours. We had the large bed but went with the twin bed configuration like you have, and we like it much better. Our trailer had the wood look cabinets but the gray looks so much better. Anyway, enjoyed your video, thanks for posting it.

    That's the first time I haven't seen someone just default to the Katie's Closet, interesting and kind of refreshing haha. I like that you de-badged the trailer as well, that's next on my list for ours. I know y'all are in an Escape now so is there anything about the Casita that y'all miss?

    • @md.adventures
      @md.adventures  Pƙed 4 měsĂ­ci

      The only thing we miss about the Casita is the bed configuration, having the two oversized twin beds compared to one queen size bed was nice. Made it much easier to get in/out of bed for both of us.

    I just happened upon your channel.
    I really enjoyed this very thorough and interesting tour of your Casita.
    I’m curious to know the year model of your Casita.
    I really like how you’ve fitted out your trailer, with the sink drain cover, the Command Hooks, etc.
    We started with a ‘79 Scamp 13’ in 2011, then moved up to a stick-built Keystone 23’ in 2014.
    Sold the Keystone recently, and are picking up our new Casta Independence Deluxe later this month, June 2023.
    Happy Camping!

      You are gonna love your Casita. Before this we had a 1976 13’ Trillium so this was a big upgrade. We picked up our Casita brand new, it’s considered to be a 2022. Send a note once you get yours.

    Great video! Where do you work in the Casita when it's raining outside? Are there enough outlets to plug in laptop, monitor, phone charger, etc? Is there room for both of you to work inside the Casita?

    • @md.adventures
      @md.adventures  Pƙed rokem +2

      When it’s raining outside I have lots of room to work in the Casita. I typically setup on the bed/kitchen table area. There are lots of plugs in that area, and it also provides a really nice view all around me. I don’t work with a dual monitor setup when I’m working on the road so I only have my laptop. If Dave also needed to work inside there would be room for him too.

    Hey there, enjoyed your video. We are in Ontario also, did you purchase your Casita in the States or an Ontario dealer. Either way, can you advise which dealer. Thanks so much.

    • @md.adventures
      @md.adventures  Pƙed 4 měsĂ­ci +1

      We drove all the way from Ontario to Rice, Texas to pick up our trailer, but that’s because we bought it new and they only sell direct from the factory. It’s hard to find used Casita’s anywhere in Ontario but they do come up from time to time on Kijiji. It’s much easier to find them in the States. They are pretty common there. We are in Fort Pickens campground in Florida right now and there are three Casitas in this park alone.
