Hi Sunshine33, It's 17' and it does have a bathroom but it might be up to 6 months away before I sell. I'll post it when it actually goes up for sell in the spring. Guess I shoulda been more specific in post 217. Sorry 33.
Take care

New Casita owner in NH
Hello - we just purchased a 2014 Casita ID (17') today. It's winterized already, and we won't be taking it out until spring (which can be quite a while in NH!) but are very excited to move from a tent to a fiberglass travel trailer. Looking forward to lots of good tips from folks here. Thanks in advance!

We are no longer looking. We purchased a 13‘ Scamp today that we are very excited about.
Looking forward to meeting many new people camping.

New Scamp in June
Hi,
My husband and I are picking up our new 13' Scamp in June. We have never owned an RV and haven't camped much since childhood. Now in our 60s, we are looking forward to some new adventures.
We have added equipment to our minivan to make it Scamp-worthy and are reading up on RVing. Hope to get some good tips from this board.
Sheila

Fun!
Hi Sheila
We are excited about our Scamp too. This is a great site and we can learn together since we have only tent camped in the past. Hope to meet you at one of the rallies. I think we might be going to the one in Niagara in September. Everyone we've met seems really nice.

We have only tent camped once in 47 years of marriage! So this should be interesting! Niagara is beautiful. You should have a good time.

With the message you want to reply to on your screen, tap the three dots at the top right. It gives you several options, one of which is "Reply."
That's how it works on the iPhone app. I think it is similar for Android devices.
You can go to settings in the main menu and enable the "Quick Reply" bar. It will appear at the bottom of posts and messages. You can also turn off the signature if you want.

Just purchased a 1973 Trillium 1300 from a couple from Spokane. Have been looking for a fiberglass camper for last year or two. They had taken outstanding care of their baby for the last 17 years. plan on enjoying this gem for years to come. Ron

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your find. You can now change your trailer brand from shopping/looking to Trillium.
Happy Trails

Looking for kitchen support bar
Hi! I am looking for a Boler interior accessory: I would like to find an original wrought iron support bar for the kitchen cabinets. Does anyone have one they removed and would like to pass on? Or know where one can find such parts?
Thanks!

OK, I'm in!
Hi, I bought a 13' Casita last year and used it a some so we could get acquainted. I've always loved camping, but have grown tired of hauling everything out of my basement, packing my car, crawling in & out of a ⛺ in the rain, and reversing the process when I arrive back home. It seemed like it always rained when I camped, and (not being as young or agile as I used to be); I decided to look into getting a little camper just to keep my 'stuff' contained, and have a dry place to sleep. I discovered that I was seriously attracted to the little fiberglass units because they are light enough for me to handle on my own. After lots of searching, I was so fortunate to find my adorable unit! With more bells and whistles than I'd even hoped for, and in really good shape! I'm eager to begin camping season and have already planned a few little adventures for the season.
I do have a few little issues to work out, and will likely be making use of this site for help tips.
That's all for now.

Hi, I'm a newbie here and really excited to have the ability to gain knowledge from so many of you who have been doing this for awhile. I currently live in St. Louis and am working towards retirement in about a year. Hubby and I will be purchasing a small fiberglass RV to do some traveling here in the US. We are both seniors, I am 66 and he is almost 68. Is there someplace in the forum where I can ask about cars that can tow fiberglass RVs? Thanks, so happy to be here!

Welcome to FGRV Nan. There is a thread here, real world trailer weights, that shows what our eggs really weigh packed for travel. They were weighed at different rallies as they were coming in. The numbers you may see from the builders are an empty rolling shell before anything else is installed...like a stove, don't believe it . You probably will get better answers by posting any of your questions on the general chat thread. Let us know what your intended tow vehicle is, # of people, bathroom/shower, how you plan to camp, hook ups or boondocking for starters. there are many different FG eggs out there to pick from, might want to look at our rally list and stop by to see and ask owners some questions. Hey, we're all full of info for you .

Welcome to the forum, Nan!
Dave has given good advice, especially about attending a rally, because...
It's best to figure out what kind of trailer you want/need first, then match the tow vehicle to the real world weight of the trailer*. Since most molded fiberglass trailers are sold factory direct, you can't just walk into an RV dealer to look over different makes and models. A rally is one of the most efficient ways to view a lot of different units in one place and talk to their owners, not salesmen. Many have times set aside for "open house" tours, and if not, most owners are happy to show off their trailers to a visitor. See the 2017 Rally Map to find one near you, and contact the event coordinator for advice about scheduling a visit.
*Here's a link to the Trailer Weights in the Real World database. Post #297 links to a spreadsheet of the data that can be sorted, filtered, and averaged.
Best wishes!
