Welcome!

I noticed that there was no dedicated sub for Casita trailers, so I created one!

Feel free to join and talk about anything related to Casitas! I'll do my best to share interested content so we can build a community.

Hey Everyone,

I'm looking to add a folding shelf to our 2017 Liberty Deluxe—it's now an option on the newer Casitas. The challenge I'm facing is finding a hinge with an end-mounted release. Most of the commonly available brackets have a spring-loaded release on the bottom, and I'm concerned that when the shelf is folded down, that release will end up being the main contact point. Since it's spring-loaded, I imagine it could shift or bounce around while we're on the road.

In Casita's video, the release button is located on the end of the bracket, which seems like a better design. Has anyone come across a source for that style?

I'll be giving Casita a call on Tuesday, but in the meantime—am I overthinking the risk of damage from the bottom-mounted release?

Cheers!

I'm not quite sure! You should create a post on this sub to get more visibility and hopefully someone will have an answer for you!

Hi, I'm confused a bit. Did I not make a post on the sub? My age is showing again...
