    I'm BACK!!! 2023 F-250 Tremor build

    Yea I just referenced the BDR-X route, it's a bit of a disappointment if I am being honest but we've been riding enduros out there for years and they basically just covered some of the same tracks with some of the main road sections thrown in. I think they covered some of the good aspects of the...

    Got the proper bumper on, not sure why it wasn't on there to begin with.

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    Well post trip discussions have led us to the decision to keep it for the time being. The wife really enjoyed the camper, she said she was comfortable and felt it had everything she wanted/needed. Her only real complaint was the width and possibly the desire for some more room for clothing...

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    Thanks! I much prefer it without the decals but I'd be ok with a small gray-scale Casita decal on the nose. No flowers or wine, that's not her bag but she's enjoying it. We plan to discuss the weeks trip on the way home along with her thoughts on the camper and we will go from there.

    Hence why the cost of a FGRV for it's relative size is considered pricey.

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    I ran the furnace for a night back in the spring and it's definitely much appreciated when the overnight lows dip into the 40's and below. Temps for this week in Terlingua are still quite warm, the furnace won't be needed this trip but glad to have it as an option.

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    I used the electric heat strip in the Coleman Mach 8 Plus this weekend. Temps dropped into the upper 50's at night and that put the interior of the Casita around 68F so it was relatively easy work for the electric heat strip to get the interior warmed back up to 72F. For conditions like those I...

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    Yea Cortes I believe has moved over to a frameless design so that might explain why theirs sit so low. I've never seen one in person up close, just passing by them on the interstate. From the videos I've seen they look like they make a nice trailer though, maybe a touch above Casita, up there...

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    I think it’s hilarious that guys think a fiberglass hull of which millions of boats are built can’t handle the rigors of driving down gravel roads at 5-10mph. If you think an aluminum skinned bolted and/or welded together frame will hold up better to any kind of stress then I have some ocean...

    I'd love 40's but I am not ready to go bigger on the lift in order to clear them. The 38's will clear now without issue. Maybe in a few more years when the truck sees less day-to-day use I can justify the move to 40's.

    I'm BACK!!! 2023 F-250 Tremor build

    I've almost ordered the 38's five different times in the last week, I will eventually break down and do it here soon lol.

    I'm BACK!!! 2023 F-250 Tremor build

    Yessir, outstanding tires, absolutely zero complaints. I am seriously considering moving to 38's next which will force me into a Toyo M/T but that's only because it's the only 38" tire offered on an 18" wheel.
