My soon to be future wife brought a Casita to our relationship. At first, I was not a huge fan. After two years, I love it. I've grown up with trailers and camping on family trips. I bought my F 350 specifically to haul a 9.5' camper. I did not like the camper. It beat the hell out of the truck off road. I wouldn't get one again. I really love the little Casita. I pull it over all the passes doing 80mph. I just did a frame lift and gave it 15" tires. Ive looked at the rpods. They are good for a Toyota sized pulling rig. Casitas aren't very good for winter use. All plumbing is exposed. I don't hang out inside a camper even when weather is bad. I guess it really depends more on your need for family sleeping space.
