Arizona Eileen,
I ordered my copy of your A-Z Owners Guide and it was better than I anticipated. I read some reviews before ordering and folks said it is a must-have. I would certainly agree. It is very user friendly, extremely easy to navigate and is very comprehensive. Thanks for putting this together. You did an excellent job!

Hi Eileen,
Great CD! Very informative and easy to understand. I have been camping for many years and have had a half-dozen RVs. I have never had an egg and they are a little different. Thanks so much for your information. It is so accurate.
Like so many others, I wish I had bought it before I went to the factory to pick up the Casita so I would have known a few more questions to ask.

Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy the Guide. I have had my Casita since 2005 and I really didn't know how much I would get out of the CD. Well, it's been a great read. I have refreshed my memory on some things and learned some new stuff too. You did a fantastic job!

I simply couldn't be more impressed with your Guide. You did an amazing job and it should be included with every new Casita. I only regret that I didn't get it sooner, but it has already come in handy. I'm not sure when you started writing the Guide but it's obviously kept up-to-date.

Thank you for giving us new Casita owners an invaluable resource of your A-Z Casita CD. I am very grateful for the help and it gave me the confidence to travel on my own.

Boy, am I glad I found and ordered this CD. I’m a newbie, widowed and 67. This answers a whole bunch of questions
I have. I’ll be traveling the US and Canada for the next
10 years, living full-time in it.
Thanks for writing this and providing it to me!

Eileen,
I received your A-Z Casita Owner's Guide. Thank you so much. What a great way to educate myself on my new trailier. Anyone looking to get a Casita should buy your comprehensive Guide before anything else!

I picked up the new Spirit on April 25th and spent three weeks on the road for the initial "shakedown cruise."
Now I am up in southern Wyoming for four weeks living in the Casita so the learning process continues.
I wanted to say thanks for your "so thorough" CD and the great help it has been. I am amazed at the efforts you have put into it and the wealth of information provided.

We recently received the A-Z Owner's Guide in the mail. It is highly informative and easy to understand. I just wish I had known about the Guide when I purchased my 13 foot Scamp a couple of years ago as so much of the information is pertinent to all fiberglass units.
In a couple of weeks we will be going to Rice, Texas, to pick up a 2013 17 foot Liberty Deluxe Casita. I understand the orientation at the facility is not leisurely so having previewed the Guide prior to the trip will make the presentations easier to understand.
I would suggest to any future owners of molded fiberglass units that they purchase the CD prior to buying a unit.
Thanks for putting this together and see you on the road!

I downloaded your Guide onto my iPad last year and it was an invaluable aid on our recent 28-day tour of the Baja. Although we picked up our Casita in Feb of 2012, we had never fully appreciated how independent we could be, having always stayed where there were bathroom facilities. Thanks to your description of the dumping process, we're now fully self-contained and feel quite liberated.
Thanks again for an incredibly helpful guide. I learn something new just about every time I open it.

After looking at the CD for just a short while, when
I think back to when I was waiting to pick up my trailer, this Guide would have been my very first purchase. It would have been very exciting to read while dreaming of the day I would take delivery.
WOW! It is the greatest. My Casita will never leave home without it. Very well done!

My Guide arrived yesterday and I spent most of the evening poring over it. Very well done!
Since I'd just last week installed a deck plate on my water tank, I was captivated by the Sanitizing Your Water Tank section and learned I'd not done it completely correct. My first thought was 'Damn! I have to do that again.' However, that notion passed quickly with the rationalization that I'd get it right next time.
Thank you very much for my copy and rest assured it will be to "go to" source for my Casita queries.

I just received my copy of Eileen's Casita Guide and I love it! I thought I would just spend a few minutes looking at it, but I got so engrossed, I had to make myself go to bed!
I've owned a Casita for eight years and I read the forums every day. I write down many, many things on little yellow stickies, but now I don't have to!
I can find everything I need in the Guide with one click. Amazing!
Even after all of these years, I am still learning. Some information I only need once a year, like winterizing. Then, I forget it. Now I can find it easily without leafing though the hundreds of pages of info
I have printed out. This is wonderful!
Oh, I also love I can click on a link and go right to another website without leaving the Guide.
GREAT JOB, Eileen! Thank you.

Eileen,
Love the book! No more going into a male-dominated world and trying to describe what I want, and hoping it is the right one. Just print out a page and say "One of those, please."
I have already used it for a new battery, and am considering the digital brake controler after a trip to the high country and bump, bump with the brakes.

This old nitpicker decided to take the challenge, knowing darn well it would not take him long to find the errors or at least be able to offer a better idea or presentation.
U N C L E. I give up.
I find this to be one well done manual. I would say every new Casita delivered should be equipped with a printed copy, but this Guide should also be in the hands of not only every owner, but every potential Casita owner.
Let's admit it, the Casita is not a difficult RV to own and use, but for the "maybe" purchaser just about every possible question one could have is answered. Even an "old timer" will find some reminders of information long forgotten.
Another something for the "already know-it-alls" to consider is the benefit of having a manual such as this to pass on subsequent owners, whether they be beneficiaries or buyers. You know, you can't take the trailer with you, but your stored knowledge of it will stay or go with you.
B R A V O, Eileen, you done good!

We just want to add a HUGE thanks to Eileen and 'da crew' for this fantastic Guide. We are ALMOST to the stage of buying, and having all of this valuable information available to us as we make our final decisions is wonderful and exciting. We printed the ENTIRE thing and put it into a 3-ring notebook, and are pouring through it, highlighting things we wanted to remember. The Casita 'family' is awesome.
Thank you to all of you!

Well, we received the Guide today. What wealth of information! It is awesome and we'll be reading it for quite some time.
Thanks again!

Elieen's manual beats the "original trailer manual" for the Casita. If the other brands' manuals are as poor, not having them isn't missing anything. Not having Eileen's manual IS a shame. Well worth the cost.

Oh my gosh! This Guide is incredible! Very impressive, especially with the color graphics. This represents 1000s of hours of work. You've taken a formidable job and made it appear simple and straightforward.
My husband and I, both retired teachers, have camped, backpacked, kayaked, and bicycle toured for most of every summer, but we are new to trailering.
I am very impressed with the sections of your guide. You really bring all of it together, and you make it easy to understand. I've been reading the Casita forums fairly regularly for several months. However, while the Forum is very helpful, it is easy to become distracted and skip around, thus making it difficult to know whether you've really read the whole thread or not for a particular topic. Sometimes an article is not classified properly, making the information difficult to find, and even more difficult to refer back at a future time.
Your book brings all of this info together in a manageable format so that I know I have read everything. It makes me feel calmer and more self-confident. I know that I will feel overwhelmed when we pick up the trailer, so the better prepared I can be ahead of time, the smoother the experience will be for us.
I sat down with my husband today to make a shopping list of items in preparation for pick-up. We used your Guide, especially Section D: Camping Essentials, and he was very impressed. His exact words were, "This is outstanding!" Now, the loose ends are coming together and we are beginning to feel more competent.
Kudos again!

I purchased your CD and have found much of the information invaluable. It is well organized and documented.

I'm a Scamp owner and purchased the CD. I've only given it a cursory look, but noticed immediately it's well organized. I've found even old hands sometimes don't know a whole lot about these trailers and the CD covers a ton of stuff.
Since all molded trailers are more alike than different, it would cover 99% of all brands. I think $30 is cheap compared to the time someone would have to spend on forums looking for specific answers...especially since most of the forums search functions are PITAs. I'm glad I bought it, knowledge is power! If and when I decide to sell my trailer, I think it would be of value to the new owners too. Sorta like giving them all the original manuals (that few have) for their particular trailer.

Judie ordered the Casita Travel Trailer A-Z Owners Guide a couple days ago. First I want to thank you for the lightning fast service. The CD arrived today.
Obviously, I haven't had time to read every page, but reading the Table of Contents and some of the chapters,
I feel that it's well worth the $30 we spent. I had to stop reading and drop you a note because I have personally written a little bit, so I can appreciate how much time and effort went into this creation. This is obviously a work of love by many people. I just wanted to say, "Beautifully Done" and thank you.
We ordered a new SD 17 earlier this week and are excited to become first time Casita owners. I'm absolutely convinced this Guide is going to answer many of the questions we have as first time owners and many questions we haven't even thought to ask. I'd recommend to others that if they are considering purchasing a Casita new or used, that they buy this owner's guide very early in the process. I think it's money well spent.
Thank you for creating such a great user guide. I'm going to dive back into reading the book now.

Eileen's A-Z Casita Owner's Guide is a must have!
I gave it to my husband for Christmas and we spent this morning going through it. We are only halfway through and already we have learned so much. My husband was very impressed how truly proffessional and informative it is. He was impressed that Eileen seems to understand how GUYS THINK, such as including information on where to wash the TV before going to the Casita factory.
The CD, along with information on the forum, will get us ready for the day we can make our dream of owning a Casita a reality. It will prepare us for going to Rice and getting the Casita home safetly.
Thank you Eileen for sending the CD so promptly. Eloy said it was the best Christmas gift I gave him this year.
We look forward to continuing the learning experiance this evening.

What a gift Eileen and her experts have created for rookie travel trailer owners. When it was first suggested that we purchase this Guide, we didn't think we needed it. We'd
read all the manuals and didn't feel a sense of urgency
to have more help.
Upon opening and browsing the Guide, we were very grateful we decided to purchase. It could be called "EVERYTHING you wanted to know about your Casita and MORE but didn't even know you needed to ask!"
It is an incredible resource that we will carry with us whenever you take our Casita out. If there is something you need to know, it is in the Guide and easy to find.
Thank you Eileen and your team of advisers. You hit a home run with the Owners Guide!

The A-Z Owner's Guide will travel with me. It has been invaluable while working on my, new to me, 1999 17" SD. If you own a Casita you won't find a better information source.

Thanks Eileen for a great guide. This is probably the best $30 I've ever spent. We just bought our 2008 Casita 17' SD and this guide seems to cover just about everything we need to know. In fact we also own a big Cedarcrest 5th wheel and wish we had this Guide earlier, even if it is Casita specific. There is such a wealth of great general camping info to make this guide a great buy for any travel trailer owner.
