Well the Epoch 300Ah Lithium battery fit in the Casita battery compartment like a glove. I trimmed the packing foam it came in and she sits in there snug as a bug in rug. I'll be sure to place some additional foam on the top to help keep it in place when I head back this evening to check on it's...
Following along here and over on the Tremor forum. This will be an amazing build, no doubt, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that I wasn't just a little sad that this isn't a diesel haha. I understand the reasoning behind going with a gasser and I agree with that move for your use. Looking...
I clicked over 20K miles on the truck this week. I have been running my trip odometer 1 since Day 1 and the combined city and highway fuel economy over those 12 months/20K miles is 17.101 mpg. I have seen as low as 13.2 mpg when towing, usually 15-17 mpg in town and as high as 24 mpg when...
He said safely 350lbs but beyond that he starts to worry about rating it more so for the frame integrity of the camper than the hitch itself. I'd think you'd find your limiting factor to be how much weight can hang out back and the induced trailer sway more so than the capabilities of the hitch...
I also added a ball valve hose bibb to the fresh water tank drain. From the factory they come with a crappy PVC thread on hose cap. This will allow me to use the fresh water from the outside without having to access the outdoor shower hookup should I need to wash my hands/feet or dishes quickly...
I had the Casita Works HD hitch receiver for the Casita installed today. I am very pleased with the quality of this item and I look forward to putting it to use here in the coming weeks.
The pre-2018 Casita's were notorious for failures on a handful of rivets, 3-6 in particular. These were remedied with new design and locations in the newer models. The few rivets that were prone to failing over rough terrain were easily accessible for replacement and one was replaced with actual...
I am not so concerned with the tongue weight, not to mention I use a 3/4-ton diesel to tow it with. Adding the Stromberg-Carlson rack and gennie box wouldn't add all that much to the front of the trailer (100lbs) and I'd only use it to house items like the jack pads, wheel chocks, electrical and...
Yea I am pumped about the size for the power output. I owe @Kingsize24 for turning me onto Epoch batteries. I hope it turns out to be the battery I expect it to be.
Epoch 300Ah 12V Lithium Battery has been ordered. I am looking forward to going from a usable 50Ah on my current 100Ah AGM to a usable 270Ah with this 300Ah Lithium. I am happy to report that it will fit in the current battery box compartment as well so I won’t have to extend the wiring and eat...
I have always been curious about my ground clearance but I never remember to measure when I am over at the storage facility. The axle is the lowest part of the undercarriage to the ground and it measured 13.25". I can live with that.
RedArc 1500w inverter has arrived. Still shopping the right lithium battery for our needs, really hoping to find a 300Ah of a similar footprint to the stock AGM but I have some other ideas up my sleeve should I not. Picked up a QD flexible spout on amazon for the outdoor shower/faucet hookup...
This Casita was the inspiration for my Casita build. So many great mods on this trailer and they really are more spacious inside than one would expect given the overall size. For the money nothing else is built as well as a Casita and that's why they hold their value so well. I can't believe...
We never intend to take our Casita on true off-road trails, fire roads, forest roads, general dirt and gravel, sure. We chose a FGRV for a multitude of reasons but one of those was due to their durability in construction and structure. No wood, screws or staples to rattle apart over corrugations...
I'd say that our Casita meets those requirements less the added space for the dogs unless you ditch the side dinette table and use that for their bed or at least the footwell space. You could find a 3-7 year old Casita in the $20-25K range. Like @eatSleepWoof said, you'll be hard pressed to find...
