Summary

Overall we think the Casita Travel Trailers offer a great value and are perfect for couples. For us we don’t necessarily like the Standard version of each model since it does not have a bathroom. We prefer the Deluxe since it has a spacious shower and toilet. 

The Casita across multiple forums online gets good reviews from owners for quality of construction and company support.
