Our first TT was a 1999 17 ft. Casita that we kept for 5 years. While it was OK I don't think it was any better than our 2007 KZ Spree that we just traded in for a new KZ Spree. The Casita was small and the insulation was marginal and we had some issues with rivets in the bathroom popping loose. We also had a problem with the front finish which Casita finally admitted that they had a top shell mold problem at the time ours was built. I am sure they have made improvements since then but after two tire blowouts on back to back days I decided no more single axle trailers for us plus wanted a real bathroom and a bed that was open on both sides.
