One Year Living in a Casita Spirit Deluxe | The Good, The Bad & The Reality

After spending a full year camping in our 2025 Casita Spirit Deluxe, I'm sharing my honest ownership experience—the good, the bad, and the reality of living in a 17-foot fiberglass travel trailer. This isn't a dealership walkthrough or a first-impression review. It's based on real-world camping throughout the Rocky Mountains, including off-grid camping, remote work with Starlink, and extended trips lasting up to two weeks. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 One Year Later: Honest Casita Review 00:52 Build Quality & First Impressions 01:48 Value & Cost of Ownership 02:40 Off-Grid Power & Solar Setup 04:35 Daily Living & Interior Comfort 05:55 Cooking, Heating & Cooling 07:05 Bathroom & Water System 08:10 The Biggest Limitation: Space 09:25 Our Favorite Upgrades & Modifications 10:05 Final Thoughts: Is a Casita Right for You?
