Full Version: Some Casita Mods
FiberglassRV > All About Our Unique Little Molded Fiberglass Trailers > Modifications, Alterations and Neat Updates
Mike Sanders
My brother sold his house and decided to full time it for several months. He and his wife have a teenage son, and a cat.

My brother is 6’ 2” tall. His Casita is the 17’ Liberty Deluxe. He tows with a 2006 GMC Yukon.

Some of the mods included a lengthening the tongue, replacing one propane tank with a Honda 2000 generator, adding a bicycle rack, and making a diamond plate box.

Other mods you we had done are satellite TV, and a screen room.

Here are some photos of the Mods.

I think this is the Florida Room in the Photo.

These are great, I have the older model which is grey in colour. They are designed to work with the Horizon (Fiamma) awning on the Casitas

It is Fiamma Florida Room - Florida Room - Screen Enclosure for the F45i. Very easy to set up. I was amazed, about 15 minutes.

We bought it from a VW dealer in Los Osos, CA. He will NOT help with any warranty if needed.

PS: The fit around the wall is not good. It is designed for a flat wall. My brother is going to fiddle with it.

They lived full time in it for about 6 months. They found a nice 20 acres in eastern Oregon with a little 2 bedroom, 1 bath ranch house on it.

PS: He will do fine as a rancher. winky.gif
