1997 Casita off road project. $6500

As the title said it is a project, the build is maybe 75% done, there is a laundry list of stuff that needs to be done which i will be adding tomorrow, i will also be adding all the work that has been done. I am hoping to sell it to someone that REALLY loves these things, but i am moving away from a towable and shopping for a FWC.

here is the OG thread when i was totally FIRED up on the project.

Nice job on the wood work and redesign. Put a queen sized mattress, and you could have an inexpensive comfortable start. Casitas seem to have their following and are impressive Offroad even stock.
