In the Beginning
After using a tent and then owning a 2004 A-liner for a year or so we decided that we wanted a camper that had a toilet so in 2017 we upgraded to the 2006 Casita Spirit Deluxe. Naturally it seemed like the best fit for what we wanted at the time. And we were right, we absolutely loved the convenience of such a small camper. Like the A-liner it didn’t take much to tow it, we were able to tow it well with our Toyota Tundra with no problems at all. Even though it was older model, it was only gently used so we didn’t have to do much to it before camping in it.
Polishing it up
The one thing that really bothered us was that the outside of it was very chalky. Fiberglass has a tendency to get this way over time without the proper maintenance on it. First we took it to a car guy, he worked on it for hours but it just didn’t look shiny like we wanted it to.
Todd did a little research and we found a guy that did boat work at Lake Lanier, not too far from us. He sounded like he really knew his stuff so we had him over and he agreed that he could get our Casita Shiny as new. That’s what we wanted. If you’re anywhere near the Atlanta area, reach out to him. He does a great job and is pretty reasonable.
You can see a more recent video below of Lanier Mobile Detailing when they polished up our 2005 Northern Lite 10-2.
I have been looking for a used Casita for a long time. Very few advertised in New England
Patricia, they are a little more common in the US these days. We know a lot of people who have them.
