Hey, I'm Mike from Texas (2002 Casita SD)

[MKBreadfan]

Hello everyone!



Just stopping in to introduce myself. My name is Mike and I have recently purchased a 2002 Casita Spirit Deluxe. This is my very first camper, though I have enjoyed camping all my life. The camper itself is in good shape, despite having spent most of its life parked at a deer lease. I am working to restore the exterior and make some updates and it seems like this forum is the place to find all of the answers I am needing.


Looking forward to all of the experiences this camper will bring!

Hi Mike, What is a deer lease?

Another abundance of info for Casita is the Casita Forum. You do have to join and that can take a couple of days but free and no ads. Goes back in archives 20 plus yrs and easy search by topic. Our first was an 02 16 and we loved it but I needed ice cream so we moved up to a 17. 😋

Yes you've come to the right place. Wonderful people on here that are extremely helpful.

So in Texas an overwhelming amount of the land is privately owned. There are very few public places in the state to hunt. Your average hunter may not be able to afford to purchase their own land to hunt on. So rural property owners will sell "leases" to hunters to allow them to hunt on their land, this usually includes letting them put up feeders, blinds, campers, etc. "Deer lease" is just the term that is used to describe these properties.


Sorry, it didn't occur to me that this may just be a Texas thing. A huge drawback to TX is our almost total lack of public/BLM land.



Otherwise, thank you all for the welcome!

Hi Mike! It seems we are Casita Birthday Twins — I just picked up my 2002 Spirit Delixe last week. A deer lease sounds like a nice way to have a home base, but I don’t think we have them in the NE.

Welcome!
