2013 Casita Spirit Deluxe 17’
Hard to find in New England. Legendary classic molded fiberglass camper with rear four-person dinette/bed (we leave as full-size bed) and side two-person dinette/single bed. Full galley (2-burner stove, 3-way fridge, sink), full wet bath (sink, shower, toilet), lots of storage. Well-made, easy to tow with light truck or medium SUV, new tires and battery, in very good condition. We have decided to move to a slightly larger fiberglass trailer. You will love the Casita! A new one will require a long wait, and about $30,000. Buy now, and travel this spring!

Maintenance: Repacked wheel bearings and electric-brake service 2016. Have checked wheel grease levels occasionally, maintained tire pressures. Previous years have covered trailer and set on jackstands. All appliances worked when used. Have only used hot-water heater on one trip; anode like new. Winterized with RV antifreeze until this year; blew water out of lines with compressed air this year, so no antifreeze in lines, pump, or fresh-water tank.
Low mileage: c. 9,800 miles 2016-2021. No trailer travel 2018.
(Previous owner: Mileage unknown. Bought new in Rice, TX 2013, and towed to NH. Made perhaps two trips to FL)
Price: $23,000. Trailer needs a good bath and wax; too cold to do it now; deduct $500. Total: $22,500 cash only.
Trailer is under canopy in Framingham, MA 01701. Have clear title.
