Airstream Vs Casita...Poll, sort of

[JamuJoe]

We had a 2010 17' Casita and enjoyed it for 10,000 miles. It's a great little trailer. It actually had a better fridge and water heater than our 2011 FC23FB. Although it was a 'single hull', the foam lined carpeting on the walls kept it snug and more 'touchable' than the Airstream. The sliding windows were much easier to operate than the primitive Airstream design. Fiberglass is easier to maintain and less susceptible to damage than aluminum. The truth is, had there been a larger model, we might never have bought the new Airstream.

I think that's a key point. Before we bought our 23' Airstream to upgrade from our Argosy, we thought long and hard about alternatives. The low maintenance/fewer leak potential of fiberglass was tempting.

But the only "bigger" options are a 19' Escape or a Bigfoot. Both have next to no dealer network in the States, especially in the East. And the last used Oliver I saw listed had an asking price of $45,000...
