If you're just starting out with travel trailers, maybe you should look at used units, or, choose the cheaper of the two you are looking at.
Some folks jump in with both feet, then find out camping is not for them. Others, enjoy the camping, but, find their brand new camper is lacking in space or ammenities, and within the first couple years, end up trading it in. In both cases, they loose a good bit of money and the longevity of the trailer really doesn't matter.
There really isn't a normal life expectancy. It all depends on how the unit is used, stored, and maintained.
If you plan to stick the trailer out in the woods and ignore it, the Casita would probably last longer, solely due to the smaller number of access points for water intrusion.
