Our new to us Casita is here!

Thank you everyone who provided advice about towing, parking, etc! Our new to us Casita arrived Thursday afternoon and we spent Friday going through everything one more time and taking care of paperwork. Lew, the previous owner, is a wonderful person and towed it to us from about 300 miles away. We are so excited! We will have to wait until the rain passes to do much of anything, but perhaps we can go and sit inside and share a celebratory glass of wine! I think we're going to call her "Tranquila" - Spanish for peace/calm/tranquil.

Jane

Not yet. We decided to rent a spot for a month to buy some time to figure things out and do it right (safely!) with the driveway.

It's okay - it felt really rushed to try to get it all figured out while the previous owner was here. Now we can take our time and do it right.

Thanks! It's so very exciting! It's a 2005 17' Casita Spirit Deluxe. I'll take some better pictures when the weather clears up. I can't wait to make it our own.

Will do! We're cleaning it thoroughly - not that it wasn't clean when we got it, but that's part of making it your own, for me.

Yeah Jane. Your dirt is cleaner than their dirt.

But I know what you mean...

Egg-xactly! I've pulled the cushions out and am debating how best to clean them - sprinkle borax on them and vacuum, pull the covers off and wash, try to find some sort of upholstery fabric cleaner... Simple Green should be good for everything else.
