Vehicle description
Casita 1999 Freedom I purchased this Casita last year and began a total remodel/renovation on her. My goal was to use her up in the mountains, on the beach, and off the beaten path. Since I knew I would be towing her with my family in the car I wanted to make the Casita super safe on highways (not tip over, sway side to side in heavy winds, not blow a tire, not bounce around). This is one reason I got the Timbren Axles and Maxxis Tires. I also had the AC installed in the rear window instead of a bulky and expensive top mounted unit. This keeps down on drag (and fuel costs) when driving and it also reduces clearance so I can pull into tight spots anywhere. It is also great if you ever need to replace the AC (you won’t for a long time). You can pick one up anywhere and replace it yourself. I purchased all the very best products for this remodel and had them professionally installed (by Motivated RV). I also wanted everything to be simple and easy to work on or replace if anything went wrong down the road. So I installed a cassette toilet instead of installing a permanent black water tank. I was concerned about freezing conditions if I was camping in the snow in the mountains and didn’t want any external water tanks that could freeze and crack. I also read some horror stories about gas in your RV so decided to make everything electric and use a generator to provide power when boondocking (living off the grid), I do have a solar panel and wiring harness that will go with the RV. I wanted my kids to be ultra-safe inside this thing. Inside you have a king-size bed and the sofa in front turns into bunk beds. Since I knew almost all of the cooking would happen outside of the RV (except for the morning coffee and boiling water for dehydrated food) I did not see the need for a large cooking area (it is just a waste of space to me). You can see I have installed a large luxurious toilet/shower combo where the original cooktop was and put a sink in where the original closet was. I love camping and wanted this Casita to give a few creature comforts like a toilet and AC/Heat, not wasted space. I don’t understand the Casitas that have cooking but no toilet. I also could not stand the original door handle and lock so I had a custom fiberglass inlet installed that would take a new model RV handle and latch/lock (it is much better now). So why am I selling her? I, unfortunately, have to sell the Casita as I will not able to use her for many years now. We are expecting our second child and my wife has no plans on camping over the next 9 months. I also suspect we won’t do any camping for a few years after our next child is born. And to top it off I could use the funds for our house remodel. I have approximant $12k invested in this Casita (original purchase, parts, and labor). So I hate to see her sit in a driveway for 3+ years. She will make a fine toy for someone else and I will expect whoever purchases her to send me some pictures of her roaming out in the great wilderness. Also. This Casita smells great. Never smoked in and no mildew. With the new components, it smells new/fresh and woody inside. What’s New New Timbren Axle-Less Independent suspension with brakes.
