| When we bought our Casita in 2002 the ‘Standard’
designation meant that the trailer had no bathroom
facilities: no toilet, shower, sink, black or grey water
tanks. We travel with several German Shepherd dogs and
need all the space we can possibly find for dog food and
dog equipment. In addition, we try to keep things as light
as possible because one of our towing vehicles is a ’99
Pontiac Montana extended wheelbase van with a limited
towing capacity. Holding tanks for black and grey water
would weigh us down more than we could handle. As well, we prefer out of the place camping which means we occasionally navigate some rough and challenging back country roads. Not having a functioning bathroom eliminates the grey and black water tanks and plumbing and gives us more ground clearance than what is afforded with the Deluxe models. We compensated for the lack of interior shower facilities by opting for an exterior shower head, and we put a Thetford Port-A-Potty in the bathroom space. That space is also used for storage of various things. We use the facilities at State Parks or commercial campgrounds when available, or we wash up using the outside shower. The bed in our Spirit is oriented width-wise. This requires the dreaded crawl-over when the wall sleeper has to get up. Moreover, Rich is 6’4” tall and the bed is a mite short. So we reconfigured the bed orientation using a little carpentry. We also built some shelves in the closet and renovated the kitchen to make it more user friendly–meaning I no longer smack my head into the corner of the exhaust fan.
