Picked up my new travel trailer.

It is a 17’ Spirit Deluxe. it will sleep 3. The back dinette converts to a full size bed. The side dinette converts to a narrow twin that can be made wider.Hey Bill...The Casita looks great behind your Moab! Can you tell us more about it? Thinking about a teardrop type camper for ours. It would work great for my wife and I and be light and easy to tow, but occasionally our daughter would like to go. Thinking that would be too crowded, but don't want a big trailer. One you size might be an option.
Can you tell us you model name, maybe some inside pics and if you think it would work for 3?
Thanks!
A few folks where I work bought them when they retired...had thought maybe there were big for a Jeep. Is the Spirit an easy pull for you? Thanks for responding and the info!It is a 17’ Spirit Deluxe. it will sleep 3. The back dinette converts to a full size bed. The side dinette converts to a narrow twin that can be made wider.

They have a huge following, similar to Jeeps.
As I’m sure you know the Wrangler Unlimited is rated for towing 3500 lbs. The 17’ Casita weighs about 2800 dry. The Jeep pulls it fine, plenty of power, but you definitely know it’s back there. The longer wheelbase Gladiator may be in my future. Too early to decide for sure.A few folks where I work bought them when they retired...had thought maybe there were big for a Jeep.

Post a review after you take that on some trails. Looks like the front wheels would rub the inside finder on a light climb over medium rocks. But hopefully I’m wrong. Let us know how it works once you get it out there.2019 JLU Moab

I KNOW I will encounter some rubbing. But I will be cognizant of that when I wheel it. Plan is to go to 3rd party fenders late next year.Post a review after you take that on some trails.

Ohhh that looks a lot better. Now I have something else to buy! ThanksTime to get this thread re-going. I found that one thing that bugged me was all black everything except lug nuts so I changed that. Nothing schmacy just what needed to be done. Look forward to seeing your MOABs this summer!
It does make that little change and they are not that much for a full set of 23.Ohhh that looks a lot better. Now I have something else to buy! Thanks
