Hi Mary! I did get your email and tried to reply, but I could not get it to send out. We are traveling back from Big Bend Country and internet/cell is almost non-existent. My mail is all messed up. I’m glad you posted here, too!
Your Glamped Casita sounds awesome! It is such a great trailer. Always good to have quality tires, but one of the things I never had a problem with was sway. It pulls so well. I pulled it with a Diesel Jeep, however, so that might have something to do with it. But I use the Jeep to pull my Shasta, which blows all over the highway in Big winds. The Casita is just designed so well.
There is a group on Facebook called Casita Owners. I suggest you join it if you have not already. It is a great group of passionate owners. And there are glamped Casitas there, too.
Hate to say this, as I’m already thinking about when I will buy the next Casita, but I sold my little brown egg this past summer. A member in the Casita Owners FB Page now owns it. I sold it because I bought a Shasta, but I miss it very much. I’m sure I’ll own another in the future.
Hope you have subscribed to my page. When I get my email fixed I’ll send a reply to your note. Happy Trails!
]]>Thank you, Coleen. I must admit, the screen door project was my favorite, too! As for the tile backspace, so far so good. We took her on a long road trip from Texas to the Colorado mountains, and it hasn’t shown any signs of cracking. The back of the tile has a very sticky adhesive (If I tried to move after placing it would start to mess it up), and I used a sanded grout. I guess over time the grout could start cracking…if so, I will do a follow-up on the backsplash post. If you see “Free Range” on the highways please honk to say hello, and if you are camping anywhere in southeast Texas, let me know so I can see if Mr. Padilly and I can stop by to say hello. Happy Trails to you!
]]>Chalk painted your tire cover…very cool! I would have loved seeing that up close!
I understand the “invade your privacy” feeling, lol. At times I’m like that too, especially during camp set up and take downs. Never sure if people are under a deadline. Darn, would have loved to talk with you! (FYI, Mr. Padilly is also a Mike).
I will look for you on Lou’s, and welcome to SOTF. When you get your SOTF information, make sure you register for the sub-group “Texas Sisters.” They hold meet-ups across Texas. I’ve not been able to join any of their meet-ups yet, because there have not been any in my area (those north and west Texas girls have all the fun!), but they look like lots of fun and a great way to meet Sisters locally.
Enjoy your new Casita! Look forward to seeing what you do with your egg shell. 🙂
