Casita Club

[SharonNDean]

Anyone know what happened to the Casita Club Classified? Everything went to 0.

[Donna D.]

ahhhh maybe Eric doesn't have time any more to really monitor that portion of the site. Perhaps you should ask him...

[SharonNDean]

ok, Eric what's up with Casita Classified? (I don't know who Eric is or how to contact him)

[Byron Kinnaman]

My SWAG (Scientific Wild A.. Guess). The database that stores the classified data is ill.

[Donna D.]

Oops sorry, I thought you knew Eric Mayer is the owner of CasitaClub. Here's his profile there:

On Edit: looks like someone is asking about it on the CasitaClub forums:
Casita Classifieds, ??

I was just looking there yesterday and it was ok, My guess is something broke. wait a few days and try again.

[SharonNDean]

It was ok today too. There was a new trailer listed for sale, and then nothing.

[Booker B.]

Ouch!

As someone who works on web databases all day I have to hope he has backups for the classified ads.

Not to hi-jack this thread, but I am curious why the classifieds ads on fibreglassrv.com don't go back farther in time - it's a great resource to see what people have been pricing their eggs at.

Booker, the default is set to view for 90 days. We figure as fast as these trailers sell, three months is probably enough. But you can set the view to see all the trailers for sale back to November 12, 2005 (hacker time!) if you wish. You'll find the setting at the bottom of that particular forum page:

Casita Club Classified appears to be up and running again, but I think you will have to put your trailer back on. Anyone have a 1995-2005 17' Casita Freedom Deluxe with the captain's chairs in TX, AR, OK, NM, or LA that they want to sell?

Hello - I, too, am looking for a used 17'Casita, Freedom Deluxe but a newer model would be ok too! Sharon, I've posted a "want ad" on ebay, too. will let you know if I get any "hits" for 2004 models or older. xoxo

[SharonNDean]

Well, I was wrong. Casita Classified has no real trailers for sale yet. What will we all do now? Eric doesn't seem to be able to fix it.

I've always felt that the forum listings were easier to use and you could put more information in them than the program used over at Casita Club. More pictures, more words, interested party feedback shared with all, etc....

Just IMHO.

If anyone is relying on the four fiberglass forums to purchase a trailer, you're really short changing your search.

Official Search Tips

I found my trailer in a local throw-away newspaper. It never was advertised on any of the forums.

[SharonNDean]

Donna - thank you so much. Maybe that will help. I wasn't even aware there were 4 FG sites to sell trailers. Unless you are including ebay and Craigslist?

There must be more than four. Check out our travel trailer club links. Some forums you will have to join to enter their posts so I don't know if they all have for sale sections.

Fiberglass RV's travel trailer links

I was thinking of the four main fiberglass forums (oops, guess there's five):

FiberglassRV
CasitaForum
CasitaClub
Bolerama
YahooScampers

a new one Oliver Forums (doubt you'd find anything used there)
and also BigFoot forum

Donna isn't just whistlin' dixie. 2 years ago when we decided to increase our size from Casita to Bigfoot, we had little luck on the forums. The best one appeared to be in Denver -- it was October, and we're in Oregon. I was considering driving there!

Then Donna found an ad in the Oregonian newspaper and told me about it. The trailer was pristine, the price was right, and it's ours!

Thanks again Donna -- we owe you!
