THE TOUGHEST CASITA TRAVEL TRAILER on Earth 

That feller that did this is sharp as a tack! I love people that know what the heck they're doing.

I have a 2017 Casita spirit deluxe. Let me just say Bob's Casita is a beast! What an awesome build! I love it! Great job y'all! Love, love, love it! ❤❤❤❤❤

I thought I would see the inside ☹️ also, did anyone notice that the trailer didn’t move when he stood on the back platform...amazing

Wow...awesome rig...I 'm having trailer envy. :D

Pretty awesome set up.

Awesome build! Gives me Casita fever

Excellent build

Very nicely done. Although I might have done it a little differently to match my own needs, I can see this was a quality job, done right for Bill’s needs requirements. I would like to see how he has laid out the interior. Great video.

Greg Vivek Bill, looks like an outfit I might could work for me, high on truck and trailer, love video

Must of been very expensive!

Very cool, and nice custom work. Hope to see more of this in the future. Id say it falls into that category of ~The difference between men and boys...

I'm impressed.

I like the frame improvements My casita uses a 5200 lb axle with 4400 lb leaf springs and shocks, I only do minor offroad but the road ride is so good 12" brakes 16" 6 lug wheels Love it

Very well thought out upgrades, enjoy your time in the field.

Great Job, Chris, if I pull the trigger on a Casita you will be getting a call

I'm concerned about the smaller radius of the camper wheel wells than the upgrade tires, doesn't look like there's enough suspension travel before the tire hits the fiberglass on front and rear.

LHOTR...looks like you guys have some options in your possibilities. 'til I get a new truck, I will not be able to partake, but looks tempting...

May you live long with good health... Well wishes from Pakistan.

Nice setup! Would love to see the interior.

Would be nice to see the inside of it also. Did you make a lot of mods there as well ?

Beauty.

Agree with JJ, would love to see how you’re interior is set up

What happened to the first casita you owned?

Can you tell me what the weight of the trailer is now and the tongue weight? I am looking at having a Casita 17 Deluxe built and would be interested in taking it off road with my Prado.

thanks for the video, love the upgrades, but did not hear the name of the base model mentioned, that the modfications were made from like length, model etc, i would love to also get a tour of the inside if possible, thank you and God Bless !

Bill or Chris - Two questions: (1) Is there any noticeable lag in the Boyo camera to the display? (I've heard this is a concern with wireless setups.) (2) Can you confirm that this is the Boyo model you have ? Model:VTC700R (Looks like it but it's hard to tell on RU-vid.) . Many, many thanks in advance for your time! (I just purchased my first Casita, BTW. Happy traveling!)

So what is the rim and tires size? I'd like to know as if I had one of these I would like to see if I could use 18" rims and put 32 inch tall tires on it.

Very nice! Care to share what the price was for the upgrades?

What would be the estimate cost of all the upgrades?

What kind of solar panels did you put on the roof -- standard or flexible? Just wondering if you added any roof support for the weight.

Do not know what Billy Bob is rambling about but casitas main value is their toughness if your going to pull it around for thousands of miles ...that and the roof ..period and there are higher quality shells like the Oliver.... They are not good if your stable and will do better with a more residential trailer ...the casita literally has 0 counter soace for example, barely a kitchen barely a bathroom ......

Use found you this looks so interesting!

Casitas have a lower clearance black and grey dump tube. How did you adjust that for bumpy off road?

I see that tall grass and i can feel my skin crawl from the chigger bites

Nice rig...

With that Raptor I would wrap the casita to match the truck at this point!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nice!

Bill, It has been very lucky for me to stumble across your Casita upgrade video because I'm in the midst of upgrading my 2013 Freedom. Some details would be helpful. How much additional ground clearance does your new suspension system afford? What size truck tire are you using? What material are you using for your rock guard? Tnx, Stephen

What truck? Is that a short bed? Thanks in advance.

I would have opted for more ground clearance (speaking from experience)

I am surprised you didn't go with Lithium Batteries.

Fantastic upgrades. What size generator do you have?

How about a lip on trailer so stuff could be tied down more securely. Maybe the customer didn't need that.

Brilliant, I’m a big fan of Australian off road caravans, as they call them, all it would take is a an entrepreneurial spirited guy to design and build an off road specific trailer to sell I’m positive their would be a market.

Sweet

Hi what did the cost of the custom work?

Very interesting vid, Bill. Thank you. My primary concern with taking a Casita over rough roads and outback terrain concerns all the aluminum rivet connections through the fiberglass. I would keep an eye out for micro-fissures and cracking - spider lines radiating around the rivet holes - this may lead to minor leaks into your trailer's interior, in back of the rug walls. I can't say for sure, this will happen... but it has been my experience that the glass is not really all that strong and is often under some form of a load from the rivets, a large jolt or two is all that is needed sometimes to produce a defect. Well, Just some thoughts. Have fun with your rig, and kindest regards. P.S. The Casita looks so much nicer without the tacky graphics! (I took mine off too...)

😍😍

Hi, I just found out that the deceptive ad practices by the Casita Enterprises, Inc. of Rice, Texas are against the law in Texas. So for anyone who went to Casita with an ad from RVTraders or someplace else; and Casita didn’t honor their ad discounts of extras like awnings, large water tanks or high rise packages. You may file a complaint with Texas Attorney General Office and collect your refund. Here is what to ask for Texas guides consumer protection from deceptive ads. Make sure you have a copy of that ad. I have copies of the March to May 2020 and the August to the September 2020 ad. You can reach me at Ronny Noll - FB

Cool build. I have a Casita that needs similar suspension modifications. However I hate those obnoxious blue white lights. Give me a 2700K colored light. There’s something about those 5000K+ lights that just drive me crazy and I hear more more how it bothers other people. These kids and their stupid, bright ass lights… Don’t want to be blinded in traffic I want to be able to look and see that a vehicle is marked by its lights, not blinding me by its lights. It needs to be seen from an appropriate distance, not from outer space. I have both color lights in my Casita. The more “yellow“ lights in the sleeping area, and the more daylight looking lights in the cooking area. It is good to have a choice.

Non

I think this Scamp may have your Casita beat as far as being rugged. www.doityourselfrv.com/scamp-5th-wheel-trailer-might-just-ultimate-off-road-camper/

How do I know I can trust you to care about what's best for me?

The Russians use a tent.

Need a wrap around bumper on that rear platform. Attach the license plate to that. Put the batteries up on the front. Behind the LP tanks. Bad place for those spare tires. Out in the open. Looks stupid. The rear platform should be a box affair. With a lid that hinges up. Drop the tires in there plus emergency road equipment. Tow straps. Jacks. Whatever. Where those tires are, put in a water tank. Or a box for 5-gallon jugs. That compensates for the weight of the bike on the platform. Prevents "tail-wagging". The trailer should have a complete belly pan. Heavy gauge steel. With skids. The congenital defect of Casitas is that the fiberglass shell stress cracks like crazy. They do not like to be bounced around. I would have purchased a small Airstream. Maybe a 22'. Put in an airbag suspension that raises the chassis for off-road. And I would have a Toyota Landcruiser.

Naaaa salesman

This is best product ever, but then I changed and rebuilt the whole thing now it is the best thing ever That is a pure logical fail ... no offense I think the rebuilt is awesome .... but the logic not so much

Cant imagine pulling any rv trailer i would rather just pay extra have a mini rv motor home dont have no un hooking a motor home & no trouble backing it up like rv trailers, even just as important if person has back troubles leg knee issues who wants to be worrying bout hooking & un hooking these eye sore boxes... makes no sense a total waste of money & headaches...

great american design... quit braging its a joke Aussies do it all the time...and leaf spring .... welcome to the 21st century

Music ruins this.
