Casita Travel Trailers - Hybrid reviews

My casita spirit delux is little over 10 years old, but the problem started over 2 yrs ago. The Casita campers are lined with carpet inside, ceiling and walls. The carpet in my camper is separating from the fiberglass all over and I dont think there is a way to repair it unless you remove everything inside, peel the carper off and glue on new carpet all over. I'm surprised that I'm not seeing many other people complaining about this. This is a quality issue. Something people need to consider before they purchase one. Show less

We wanted to upgrade from tent camping and after looking at all of the available options, we decided that a fiberglass shell camper would give us lightweight towing options and hold long term value. This is where Casita stands out, it's a design that's stood the test of time and we could get everything we wanted for a reasonable price. The Spirit Deluxe 17' has turned out to be the perfect size for the two of us on our cross-country travels for weeks at a time. It has a wet bath, sleeping for 2 in the large dining area at the rear, a dinette that seats two on the side, a workable kitchen with a sink, 2 burner stove, microwave & fridge. A Maxx fan, an A/C with heat strip & a gas furnace. Show less

We bought ours in 2019. It was completed in two months. Now it is 18 month build time. I ordered everything but the microwave. The price was $24,000. We spent the summer of 2020 on the road, from Virginia to California and back. Our bathroom door latch broke, one cabinet door would not secure, and the dog chewed the blinds and fire extinguisher holder. The Deadbolt broke in half at the Casita going factory. They fixed everything for free. Several times because of the camper's size, we could get into an RV park with only a small spot left. We are retired it this perfect for us. I can't imagine a family in one of these campers. One has to stay seated when the other moves. We would have gotten the twin bed if we had known about having to crawl over each other. The upkeep is very easy. Everything works great. I had the windows tinted to keep the heat out. I had a Soft Start put on the AC so I can use a small generator and a regular outlet to run the AC.

I put money down to have this trailer built in January of 2016 and picked my trailer up in Rice Texas June 2017. The wait is long but the quality of the build makes it worth the wait. I have had no problems with the trailer and it tows like a dream due to it's light weight, and minimal wind drag due to the egg shaped body, which is Fantastic for good gas mileage. It is Definitely a trailer for a couple and possibly a small pet for a fun weekend trip or even a month long adventure.. Show less

Bought used in 2017 to put toe in the water, figured molded fiberglass made good trailers. It did, we ended up taking it 23,000 miles in four years with very little trouble. As others have said, a perfect couple’s trailer with a dog. Tows easily with our 4Runner, great in crosswinds. Has everything you would want in a small 100% fiberglass package. Will sell for more than we paid for it- and miss it. How many trailers can you say that about? Show less

Our first RV. Lightweight and sassy....just right for two but then we got a big dog(puppy) and it became a little two small.. Great brand, well built and easy to maintain. Everything worked but had to replace the hot water tank because we did not drain it properly during the freezing weather. We made several short trips to state parks and largely depended on the shower facilities rather that try to shower in the Casita. Heating and AC worked great and used both on different occasions. This unit travelled well behind a Chevy Silverado pick up truck. Show less

Downsizing and down pricing from a series of Airstreams, my wife and I bought a CASITA Spirit Deluxe last year... first impression is WOW, what a good deal. It clearly is a huge bang for the buck in terms of functionality...it is very well constructed, and has some features not found on more expensive coaches. The experience of purchasing the Casita was overall very excellent, and we were especially pleased with Carla in sales at Casita plant. Though small, the floorplan layout is flexible, and the payoff in towing and economy is a huge reward. Ideal for two! Very happy!! Show less

This is the best trailer for 2 people & a dog. The build quality is good. They have been building these since 1983. Being fiberglass you don't have to worry about roof leaks. The setup & take down is very easy. After you do it a few times, it is very fast. Look at the standard equipment and the options. If budget allows get all the options except the Microwave. ( You can buy one yourself ) It is better to have it & not need it, than need it & not have it. There is a company near Fort Worth TX where you can get addition upgrades installed. https://littlehomeontheroad.com/ It is very easy to tow. Maintenance is very easy. There is a book Casita Trailer A - Z which covers everything. The quality of regular trailers are very poor. So you could spend time in the repair shop or your time camping. When we were looking for RV we finally had to decide do we need to take our house with us or just a motel room. This saved us a lot of money. People will come up & want to see the Casita. We have been approached each time we have been out. We are very pleased with this Camper. One upgrade I would suggest is installing a Soft Start on the AC. https://www.microair.net/collections/easystart-soft-starters What this does is softly start your AC so you all you here is the fan coming on. No thump noise. This allows you to use a smaller generator. Instead of 50 AMPs to start a AC it takes 15 AMPs. We tow with our Chevy Colorado V-6. Show less

The Casita is well built, rugged and very efficiently laid out. Given the very small size and light weight it provides all one would need in a camping trailer. There is room to comfortably sleep two, space and facilities to prepare and eat a meal, hang out to read or watch TV, take a shower and use the toilet. The A/C unit keeps it very cold even in 100-plus degree heat and it's warm and cozy even with outside temps at or below freezing. No seams means there are no leaks and no need to caulk or seal anything. It has lots of big windows for a great view and an efficient marine bathroom with a hot water shower and toilet. It's aerodynamic and tows VERY easily; and is easy to back into the tightest spaces. This is a real winner. Show less

Casita trailers are very well made and durable. They are excellent designs that maximize living space and storage in a small and lite weight trailer. They are very easy to tow and setup. The Liberty Deluxe model offers the most flexibility in layout. It can be configured with twin beds, double bed, or king bed. Show less
