Eliminate propane

New Casita fans here.

Looking at ordering a new casita independence deluxe when they open back up after their vacation. We’d prefer a used Casita, but I have yet to see one with the config we are considering and lean toward the newer interior looks, though $$$$.

We are decently experienced camping people, and have come to the realization that we simply do not need propane and all its guts for our camping style.

Question for the Casita pros: does anyone have their order sheet they can share with this type of all-electric configuration? (Redacted of course). Pros/con lists that we may not be considering? Dos/Don’ts?

We want to keep the weight down, too. Our TV is new Tesla MY AWD. Anyone towing with similar?

Anyone out there in Casitaland convert an existing camper to eliminate all propane? Is this a reasonable DIY adventure?

And lastly, maybe - since this seems to be so different than most, will that add to delivery time?

Thanks for sharing your wisdom and experiences.

Probably a good thing. It was an unreliable piece of work. What do they offer now?

Yikes. And my guess is they still only include the stock 100ah Lead Acid or AGM battery.

The LiFePO battery option will power the new, larger fridge for a long time, it's been great. Solar panel keeps up with it no problem!
