- čas přidán 8. 12. 2018
- Hi Everyone! Thank you for checking out our first video. For the last 7 months we have been living in our little 17 Foot Casita travel trailer. We have been all over the West Coast of US, Canada and are now traveling Florida. Soon we will be on our way to Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, New Mexico and hopefully going to check out Baja California.
We have been dreaming about living on the road for a long time, it took us a couple years to save and make this adventure happen. Our goal is to spend at least a year on the road with a budget of $30,000 all in. So far we are right about where we should be for the 7 months we have been on the road.
We are planning on more videos talking about our hybrid solar system( fixed and portable), as well as modification we have made to the camper to make it an ultimate go anywhere off-grid adventure rig.
We have a lot to share about our choice of molded fiberglass camper and how it compares to stick built campers as well as Airstreams.

WOW! All of that for under 5K!?!
You all are living the dream! All those thumbs downs are surly from jealous people. 🙏 Bless your journeys!
i gave a thumb up but very jealous
That's a good way of living for young couples. Keep the cost of living to a minimum. Feel uncluttered and carefree.
Enjoy !
Thanks for sharing. I have been customizing exterior racks. I learned that an aluminum diamond plate truck box fits inside a standard hitch cargo carrier...looks good and it a lot easier than tying down boxes. can also tie into lights and add a light bar on rear for brakes, signals, running lights. It is simple and easy to find truck boxes used.
Love the trailer, I plan on relocating next year as I'll be an empty nester, gonna relocate to Idaho with my job & buy an acreage to build a insulated heated pole barn so I have a base of operations as I'll still be employed but with no mortgage I'll have the freedom to travel with my camper to hunt/fish/camp with my 2 dog's.
How wonderful ❤😊a happy couple with their fur babies traveling through life together in fine style.
Lol,I didn't expect to see such a pretty girl inside when you opened the door.Or such a flat dog on the cushion
Nice old trailer i owned a 13 ft 1968 fram i lived in n i wish i still had it loots of memories 😎✌✌
Thanks - Keep on Truckin' ...remember it's the journey !
Thank you! The journey has been incredibly. This life style is something everyone should try.
I saw your video at the perfect time. Just got back from my first 2 month trip to New Mexico, Arizona and Utah in my new Casita. Love the trailer but storage is a challenge. I liked your ideas for the trailer tray, gas storage and the storage trays from Little House Customs. Folks have been real friendly and helpful on the road. Everyone wants to talk about my Casita. Thanks and I'll see ya on the road!!
Awesome! Sounds like a fun trip. You are totally right everyone asks about the Casita when we are on the road also. People love how compact it is and are blow away by how much room it has on the inside.
i had just smoked and heard you say you have a small solar system was preety funny lol ..
me and my girlfriend like your trailer and truck set up . !!!
You folks have definitely outgrown you Casitas. It's time to move to a larger camper. Thanks for sharing.
The one thing we we're glad about is that we did not have a larger camper. The places we were able to go and camp at would have been totally inaccessible if we had a larger setup. This was an absolutely perfect size for our needs.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the tour. You have a cute little home. Wishing loads of happy travelling.
Thank you for watching!
Thumbs up and subscribed! I think this is so awesome! Glad that someone's living the dream!
You two are an awesome couple!!! And I love your Casita! As well as the upgrades.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
It's cool seeing you guys living in a smaller camper like that, and how you use every inch of space. So many people on CZcams that live in their campers have $100,000+ houses on wheels. Sure, anybody can live in one of those.
The advantages of a smaller camper are amazing. Being able to get into places that a big camper would never came it to. And lack of space just becomes normal. Also prevented ha from having a ton of useless crap.
Fill a hypodermic with 3m adhesive and stick the needle through the covering in multiple places and then put something against it to force it against the roof and let the glue set for an hour.
Exactly what I ended up doing! Got a syringe and a needle from tractor supply. Used contact cement. To hold it up I used a piece of 2x4 and a shower extendable rod. Worked great.
I watched your presentation again. Very nicely done. Both the video and the interior. I have a 16 ft Scamp and the floor-plan is almost identical to yours. I like some the things you've done and they will work nicely in mine if I ever get around to doing them. I'm so sloowwww and would usually rather go for a walk.
The 16 foot scamps are really similar! They are actually even more similar to the 16 foot Casita. I like the reflectix insulation and the Marine style headliner they use on the interior.
GOOD review!! NICE camper... THANKS 😁👣😷
You can easily sort the sagging carpet roof lining out.
All you need is the correct adhesive and a sharp knife and rule.
Place the rule up against the carpet roof lining and cut a straight line of approx 2 feet
Then spray or paint on the adhesive on top of the carpet and on the roof do the same for the other side. Once the adhesive is tacky push the carpet roof lining up squeeze together to eliminate the repair cut line to complete the repair.
Leave for a few days and continue until the whole roof section is complete.
Safe journey both
Thank you for the tip! We actually already sorted it out while we spent a month in Mexico Beach. I was able to use a syringe with contact cement and squirted it beneath the carpet. I used an extendable shower rod with a plank of wood to put pressure on the area I was working on. Worked great!
We bought our Casita 17’ SD new 3 years ago and have only used it three nights. I’ll be training for a new job for about 6 months so I’ll live in it by myself and will be copying some of the setup. Thanks for the great video!
That is awesome. So many nice improvements on the new casitas. Just the auto ignite water heater is worth the money.
Any issues sleeping with it rocking with high winds or ac noise? Any other recommendations or wish list items?
@@royhernandez4783 wind is really not an issue. We experienced some very night winds and it was just fine. You can for sure feel the camper move around tho.
Our AC is in the closet area and pretty far away from the bed. We use it pretty rarely as we mostly boondock and don't like using our generator that much.
Very nice! 😁 I enjoyed your video tour and I really love your perfect little camper.💗 Everything you need in one small home. I totally agree with you for taking time out to go on a nice long road trip. We all need to do that, to get away, enjoy life & living. What a great way to do that in your own little home away💗 from home. Including taking your little fur babies with you 🐾🐕❤️🐕🐾 adorable. 🌳👫🏡🚙🌷🌼🌞 ❤️ Thank you for sharing and *Happy Camping* 😁
Thank you so much for watching and for the comment!
@@TTarlov Your welcome, thank you for the video & sharing inside of your home with us all. I'am very envious for you and would love to be doing the same thing. ❤️My hubby is determined to wait until retirement which is about 2 yrs away. Wow, I just can't wait, I have been waiting for this for a very long time. 😁 Much luck on your adventures ❤️
I just ran into your video cuz I am thinking about getting me a small trailer just an idea, because I like to see more of this country that we live in before my time is due. I like your upgrades didn't think you could put that much stuff to camper trailer for me I would do a little less but I like what you have done I will keep it in mind thanks for the info.
Luv the Velcro tray. Ingenious. That type of bath is meant to be used while sitting on the toilet, so headroom not an issue, unless you're about 8ft tall!
Plus, it can save on T.P. Bidet!
Love this video! Really great storage modifications! Been looking at older Casitas to buy for a downsizing/retirement option. Your videos gave me better insight of what to expect and how to modify. Thank you again for great info! Travel safely and enjoy!!🤩
You are so welcome. Thanks for checking out the video and commiting. Good luck on your camper search. I'd suggest looking at Escape Campers and also the new NuCamp Bearfoot (not out yet but super cool). Also check out the new Happier Camper HTC. All great options.
I can't believe it took me so long to run into these videos! It's great to see you two again! I really like the modifications you have made to the Casita and look forward to following your travels!! - Mr. W
omg, Mr. Walker! So funny you ran into our video. You looking at getting a camper?;-)
@@TTarlov Yes some day when finances allow us too. We are in the process of getting a new vehicle that can tow a small RV. We are probably only going to be weekenders though :-)
Awesome! We started as weekenders too. Nothing wrong with that:-). Let me know if you need help figuring out a good tow vehicle or a camper down the road. Happy to help.
You guys convinced me to go with a Casita. So, got one. 2011 dlx liberty.
Unfortunately, a good bit more than $5k..
I've been living in it fulltime now for 5 months. Yea, a bit of an adjustment, but, comfy. Cut a full mattress to fit....
I'm going to set up the exterior with the same racks you have.
Still learning...
Thanks guys.
That's so awesome! Newer models have a nicer interior and better exterior door so it's worth to pay a little more.
Nice set up.I'd make a small hole in the roof lining and spray glue,use a flat door to presure it up and a a couple of poles to keep it up there for a bit.
Hey ! Thanks for watching and also for the suggestion. That's actually exactly what I did. I ended up using a hypodermic needle made for animal vacinations, filled it with contact cement and injected it under the lining about every 3-4 inches. To hold it up I used an extendable shower rod with a piece of 2x4. Worked great!
very informative. I am still looking for a fiberglass travel trailer....one day.
Thanks! Which ones are you looking at?
Thanks. We have a 17 ft. The gentleman and his wife we bought it from were the original owners. He was an engineer, so naturallly he did a lot of small things to improve some of the original design. There is a Casita owner who has a YT channel called "The Willful Wanderer". He has a video on a clever way of gluing the carpet back in place .I really enjoyed your presentation.
OK , I love you both, you are now officially my new best friends!
Your sense of humor, the way you to get along ...adorable!
Which I guess you have to be when you’re living in smaller quarters. But I guess it doesn’t feel small when you are a petite little girl, and he is a lean man.
Thank you for the kind words
Very cool you two. My wife and I have a 2017 17' Casita Spirit Deluxe. We love it. As you mentioned in your video, the Casita is small, but it is a cozy warm little home for two people.
Absolutely. The cozy factor is huge with Casitas.
Nice little home. Glad you're able to do this...I'm hoping to do the same in a few years...hoping to move to Nebraska. You've done well.
Hey! Thanks for the comment. Have fun on your future travels.
Awesome video 👍 👍 you guys look like happy campers.
Thank you for checking out our video!
@@TTarlov/ thanks for sharing guys!
For the carpet roof liner go to 3M's site and look for perm double sided tape. It is so strong it is used to hold metal solar panel brackets to the roof of trailers like yours.
Patrick EH ...thanks for the info
Nice video u seem like laid back nice people
Lovely video, thank you for sharing. I have been looking at fiberglass campers, so it was nice to see the modifications you have made to live in it full time. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Go Colorado!!
Thank you very much for watching the video and a nice comment. What campers are you looking at?
You both are inspiring, plus 2dogs, wow!
Hey! Thank you so much for watching the video and the nice comment.
NASA sticker on front, and a small solar system on top. I LIKE IT!!!
Haha thanks! We have gone through 3 different solar setups. I think the next video is going to be on what we have learned through this process.
I do have to say that there something so cool about being self sustainable from energy point of view. We only have 100W roof panel and a 100w ground deployed unit and just a 100ah deep cycle AGM battery. And this is mostly enough for everything we do.
The goal would be to have a liPo 100-200ah battery and about 500-600w of solar. This way we could run an induction cooktop and more demanding 120v gadgets. One day.
Enjoyed your video. You two are a cute couple. Dig your camper/tiny home.
❤️💜💚
Thank you so much for watching and for commenting.
Have a 21 Casita with elevated suspension for off road and 15 inch tires. Love my "little house"
Great hacks that’ll be copied! Our 2010 Campfire trailer is 10’ long inside and we’ve really loved the ease of traveling with it! When parked, the grandkids call it their camper fort :). Someday we may choose to spread out some with something 3 or 4 feet longer for the small sitting area/extra single bed and a wet bath, but no rush.
You two have restored my hope in younger adults. I was really starting to think that [all] people in their 20s felt as though they deserved everything without making any sacrifices. I lived the same way you have chosen to live for quite a while. I knew it was only a stepping stone to get the next step and it wasn't permanent . I like your Casita. Kudos to you guys and your adventures.
Thank you for watching the video and for you comment. Happy travels!
Great video, we also have a 17 foot 2001 Casita. It is great. We have a welded on rear carrier the the previous owner added. We have a small gen also but the relay kicks off when we start the A/C. We don't use it much though.
Maybe we'll run into each other, going down to Florida and east texas then back to up state NY.
I have struggled with a cargo rack for my Casita for the past year! THANK YOU so much for making this video and providing a link to the one you got...I just ordered one for myself :)
Awesome! Glad it helped. Let me know how it goes.
Nice video and a nice trailer. I run a Scamp, which you probably know is similar. I'm going to be the downer guy or at the least the be safe guy who responds.
Every time I see someone adding weight to an existing rig, that was hopefully carefully designed and spec.ed before manufacture I get a little concerned. Especially when you add weight to the rear and height. Because of the changes in center of gravity and balance. Adding weight to the rear, assuming it's even safe to do structurally, dramatically changes the balance of the rig.
If you want to induce trailer sway add weight to the rear externally. Then throw a couple of household items to the rear in the inside. Viola. Trailer sway. In terms of structural stability a friend has a large RV and attached a hitch on the rear. He pulled a trailer with 2 ATVs on it. He almost got back from a 2000 mile trip to the Rocky's and for some reason inspected the hitch and it was barely hanging on. Very close to disaster potentially including loss of human life. So, just be careful.
I think it's best to have stuff like that done by professionals. I personally would never do it (add a hitch or additional weight bearing capabilities). Most rigs are already designed to be as light as possible and to do that metal and other components of the least possible expensive and mass yet capable of providing roadworthyness are used.
That's a nice lift. I've considered doing that and still may but frankly only very tentatively and thinking about it a lot as well as consulting with professionals (not just a shop that will make a buck doing it). That's a very substantial raising of the center of gravity and will make you rig much more "tippy". If you understand that and incorporate it into your behavior maybe fine.
The manufacturer of Casitas would probably say "Uh uh. Don't do that.". I was considering putting bigger tires on my Scamp and the factory, well someone at the factory, said pretty much that. Maybe protecting their butts but think about that a little. You get in an accident and someone gets hurt and you've done something to change the handling characteristics or structural integrity of your rig and your insurance company goes, "You did what?".
Careful out there. Seriously.
Again, a nicely done video and a great looking rig. Thank you.
Hey thanks for the comment. I can go into a long detail about how " professionals" most of the time know less than I do about a lot of this. I had dealerships forget to tighten my wheels a and put wrong fluid into transmission. I don't trust what you would call professionals.
But instead of staying anything more I would say this. If you are afraid of doing anything you will sit at home and be worried about slipping and falling when you walk out of your house.
I don't do anything stupid. But I won't be asking a structural engineer to tell me if adding 150lbs to my camper will cause it to sway more.
We have put 20k miles on this setup and have not had any issues at all. Does the camper sway anymore? Nope it feels just fine doing 80mpg in cross winds. Does it feel "tippy"? Nope, we take it on off road 4x4 trails all the time.
@Autumn Rowan I see what you mean. It's like with anything. I have modified everything from cars to motorcycles to bicycles. The thing is that most vehicles be it trailers or cars are built to handle more than what they claim.
Like for example if you two 1000 lbs more with your truck it won't explode or break in half. Will it wear faster, sure it will. Will your dealership deny you warranty? Maybe but that's a debate.
That said if you are one of the people that is worries about things that you might not fully understand you should not modify it.
I have truck tires on my camper, is that legal? I have no idea, probably not. Do I care? Nope. I check the load rating on the tires and roughly know how much it weighs. Numbers line up just fine so I don't worry.
Nice video. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely! Thank you for watching and commenting.
What a cute house on wheels. You have some great storage ideas.
Thank you!
Nice to be young, enjoy the travel while you can. Don't forget to seek the face of God on your traveling. God bless
Great info. Please slow the motion of cam for us ole folks got dizzy.
Very nice especially with so many homeless. They can look into something like this when first becoming homeless rather than spend money for motels.
There is a bit of a difference between choosing to be "homeless"( I actually call it home free;-) vs actually being homeless.
Campers are not the solution for the terrible growing homeless problem we have in USA.
@@TTarlov Still does not take this away from being an option for those who are on the brink if being homeless. It's an opportunity that can be prepared before homelessness happens. If you take the time to listen to the testimonials of those who are homeless, many who still work and/or live out of a car you may be able to see and understand.
Good ideas and great job !! thank you !
Thank you for checking out the video and for the comment!
well… encouraging, if yours is 20 years old then maybe my Casita has a few more years left, but is less than 10 years old and already showing lots of wear, mainly popped rivets, broken cabinet door hinges, dents and dings. I picked up on a couple additions I’m interested in, the stick on shelves (for sat receiver). The shelf under table is clever. Thanks for sharing 😉
All that you are describing is very common for Ang rv. But it's all very minor stuff. The big thing is the construction and it will last for many decades.
Great video. Your Casita seems to have the A/C on the lower front right of the trailer, which was standard on the 16 ft. but optional on the 17' back then. I used to live near the factory in Rice, TX, and hung out at Larry's house, of Little House Customs. Many moons ago, I had an 87 16 ft. Casita, which had ,such less storage than yours. Great little egg trailers. Nice setup.
Hey! Thanks for the comment! The AC in the cabinet is certainly a nice thing to have but it's not super useful when it's really hot out.
Yeahyer, living the dream..Enjoy..You lucky couple..
Great mods😃😃. Thanks for sharing your home
That is nice, and small makes the travel adventures easier. We have a restored 1972 Hunter Compact Jr. ...alot of fun. Plus the Retro / Small Trailer gatherings are worthwhile.
Would love to restore a vintage trailer!
Those torsion axles are better than the old-school cheap leaf springs, but they are still low to the ground. The best is still axle less as found in most, if not all, off-road overland trailers.
Good job
Those trailers are low to the ground there can have issues with their frames but some don't but you what you can you live & learn if it works great if it don't you figure it out what works thanks for sharing!
That's why we got a lift axle and drop brackets to get about 16" of clearance at the lowest point.
Storing your water directly in the sunlight, will allow the plastic to "break-down" and from what every source says, those are not compounds you'd want to give your pet, let along any humans. Happy Camping !
That's a good point. I know our water jugs are PET free and made specifically for fresh drinking water. I need to for sure look into this. We typically only use the water in the jugs for shower and washing dishes we never drink out of our RV fresh water tank.
Did you find any other faults you'd like to point out, mom?
Very nice, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Wow nice.. I enjoyed very much that video.. so now I’m looking forward to your new videos.. good luck and safe travel to you guys..!!
Thanks for the tour and tips. Sort of reminds me of the years we spent living aboard out sailboat. No wasted space.
Very glad to see the Casita being highlighted. I have a 2013 Spirit Deluxe 17' for just me and two pups. The camper living area part is actually about 13 feet. The 17 foot measurement includes the hitch. Love your generator carrier. Also, love your kitchen without the big, bulky fan like I have. I've considered removing it from my Casita.
Hey! Thank you so much for the comment. We absolutely love our Casita. And yes you are right about the living area only being about 13 feet. It's tiny space that is laid out so well.
As far as removing the range hood goes it absolutely opens up the area so much. However it does cause a bit of an issue when cooking if you do a lot of it inside. The steam and sometime oil from cooking gets on the above cabinets and will eventually cause issues. I will try to eventually make some sort of a fan that sucks out the steam through the existing hole.
An inline fan with a filter on the camper side might be a good solution. I remember seeing some that ventilated boat engine compartments.
@@chrisking6370 there are for sure a few options put there that we need to explore. I thought about a small 12v computer fan on a switch.
My used 17 ft Casita was owned by an engineer. He removed the exhaust fan and housing from the stove area. He thought it too noisy. It did seems redundant since the main exhaust fan works great. We don't fry anything inside. Boiling water is odorless.
Great video
Hey thanks for watching and commenting.
I'm looking at the same one.
Good video.
Hey! Thank you!
Casitas are the best value for the dollar. BTW, put some reflectors on those black boxes in the rear. SAFETY FIRST
Totally agree! The layout is wonderful. I keep thinking about putting reflectors on the boxes! Now that you said it I will definitely order some.
Yeah, lots of drowsy drivers out there.

Great video and set up
DUDE UR LUCKY. SHE'S BEAUTIFUL. CAMPER TOO
Very productive. I plan on traveling thru america in the next few yeats. Great video
Thank you for watching our video. If you have any questions on trailers or places to go feel free to reach out.
Thanks so much! Some great mods!
You are welcome. Thank you for watching the video!
Wow. I pull a 16 ft Scamp and no way would I put that much weight in the rear. Not as much because of insufficient structural stability but rather because of weight distribution. Putting weight on the rear of a rig like that is a good way to make it sway. Be careful.
I have already addressed this with previous comments. The weight in the back is roughly 125lbs at most. We keep mostly clothing and a few bulcky objects in the bins. To make sure the weight is balanced we have a generator on a heavy mount on the tongue. The weight is roughly 100-130 lbs. We also keep a heavy 6 gallon water jug on the floor of the bathroom which is all thet way up front while driving.
No sway at all here.
Nice job and great setup and teamwork.
Great video guys
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Mexico is so cool
I'd like to know a little about truck's soft top and what bike you haul.
Thanks for the question. The soft top is made by softtopper. It's very cool. It's mostly water tight and worked great untill a couple weeks ago when I did not secured it properly and it ripped off and broke:-/.
As far as bikes go we currently have a tw200 yamaha and two emountain bikes. But we started with a Drz400 also. Had to sell it a while back.
New subscriber, nice setup. Looking forward to the next video
Awesome! Thank you. Any topic you would want to see in particular?
@@TTarlov I like the thought of that camper but at 6'4" its not for me. I retire and hit the road in 288 days so i'm looking for ideas and places to see. I look forward to your next adventure
Very nice
A little tip if you don't mind. Perhaps some WD 40 on those door hinges would help to not disturb each other at night. Cool
Are you taking about the cupboard doors?
I’ve always been curious of these channels I see of people living in campers and traveling the country. What do you do for money except CZcams videos? Fuel, food, trailer and vehicle repair, clothing and other items are expensive! Not to mention healthcare. A healthcare plan for two is probably over 2k per month with no company plan. How do you do it and still plan on retirement?
Thanks for watching the video and commenting. To tell you the truth we are now back in our house that we were renting out while traveling. We spent just over a year on the road covering about 30k miles.
We spent time in Canada and traveled a little in mexico. As far as money goes we actually had money we saved up over about 5 years to spend on a kitchen remodel but instead decided to spend it on this trip. It was absolutely 100% worth it. All in all we spent about $30k on the trip. But my wife ended up working for a month in a hospital in Yuma arizona, she made over 17k in that month. So that covered half of our expenses.
Health insurance was a huge issue. We found a solution that was pretty much awful and cost us about $300 a month for two but was just incase we had something really terrible happened to us. My wife ended up having to go to an ER and this crap insurance covered $250 of a $6000 bill we got that we are still fighting. We spent an hour in the ER and my wife got an anti nausea pill, that was it!
So for now we are back in our house but working on a plan to be able to work on the road. With remote work now a much more likely possibility it's a lot more likely.
❤ nice!! I was wondering if you are tall sitting on the toilet would be easier to shower ? Lol but I'm serious ❤ also wet baths are much better in the smaller rvs & as well as many much larger rvs because they are meant to be wet so keeps the floors even the walls for rotting out. Soon after doing so much research on every rv including new class A's and used ( horror stories of couples spending new 150k ++ in the USA & and were only able to travel once after over 14 months of trying to get the rv company to fix the list of problems ) all of the fiberglass rvs like y'all have no problems & when they sell to upgrade etc get almost everything that they paid for the new rv. ❤ thanks for sharing love it!! ✌ p.s. hopefully you can read this I'm having trouble seeing
Thank you for the comment! Yes you can for sure sit on the toilet while taking a shower. You can call it S&S ;-). I am kidding. But yes no problem doing that at all.
Absolutely agree with you on wet bath.
If you are looking still check out a new RV that's coming out sometime soon.

Such beautiful design and crazy amazing utilization of space.
@@TTarlov ❤ ✌ S & S made me laugh!! Thanks!!
Like the Casita but just cant get past that carpet. Great video,Thanks!
There are for sure pros and cons of the carpet. It keeps the walls warm to the touch when it's cold out and cool when it's hot out. I'd say I still like the carpet more than nasty luan with contact paper that collects moisture and rots. Carpet is water resistant and non organic so no mold or rot if water gets on it.
The hinges on the cabinets would drive me nuts!
Yeah they drive me nuts too lol.
@@TTarlov - a bit of silicone spray would solve it (good grade silicone spray has no bad odor).
nice to see the little lady.
Nice looking rig we have a 2006 Scamp 16'. We'll have to look into that front rack.
It works awesome. Highly recommend. Should fit your scamp just fine.
Good looking rig guys/happy trials
So beautiful
Thank you!'
WOW. Tiny House living on wheels. I wish you could've covered where you carry motorcycles. I saw them on your truck....?
We have them in the back of the truck. Nothing out of the ordinary.
@@TTarlov what size truck? We're looking at small camper with a tow that can carry 2 motorcycles. Looks like a Ford?
@@kdsrbaldwin4621 Its a 2015 F150 with 2.7 Ecoboost. I have to tell you its a huge overkill for the Casita. The truck pretty much does not even notice the camper behind it. We did eventually install airbags in the back to keep the truck leveled. But i think if we did not have the 2" spacers in the front it would have been just fine.
Very much enjoyed your video. We have a 17 ft Spirit Deluxe. Have done all the lower 48 states. I was curious where you got that square light fixture surrounding your fan or was that handmade? Thanks.

Nice Job ! Thanks .
Well done, y'all.
Buy a small electric ice maker from Walmart 99$! Then have more room for meat to freeze!
How did you get that much lift? Did you change out the axle? Love what you did with the interior mods...
Yep we got a custom axle made locally. It was about $1300 i think. Its a Dexter Torsion axle with a pretty aggressive starting angle and also 2" lift brackets. It towed really well and did not affect the driving dynamics at all.
That little dog needs to calm down. lol
How did you find one for $5k? I've been looking around for a while and they run twice that even for older ones.
It was several years ago. And we got extremely lucky with a craigslist find. Ours is a 98 so it's a bit older.
WOuld you mind identifying the year and model of your Casita? I noticed you don't have a roof a/c, I actually find that much more attractive.
It's a 98 17' liberty deluxe. The roof AC was not an option on these till I think 2000. So it has the same style ac (window unit) like the 16 foot Casita. The AC is below the coat closet right by the entrance door!
Thanks for watching the video.
Great video and trailer!
Thank you!
