While camping, Todd and Carla, the Runaway Roses, ran into something fiberglass fans have talked about for years: a larger Casita. Parked nearby was a brand-new 2026 24′ Casita Discovery LC, a tandem axle model that had people wandering over for a closer look. The trailer belonged to Roy and Beth, who were kind enough to let everyone take a quick tour of their new setup.
See it in the video at the end of this post.
Interior
The first thing that stands out inside is how much usable counterspace Casita managed to fit in. It feels more like a small apartment kitchen than a compact camper galley. Storage is everywhere—drawers, overhead cabinets, and a large lower storage area.
Key kitchen features shown on this unit include:
- A deep, square sink
- A three-burner cooktop
- A microwave
- A furnace located under the cooktop area
- A large refrigerator and freezer (12-volt only, labeled as Coleman on this trailer)
Because this is a privately owned camper, cabinets were left closed, but the owner explained that storage runs deep in several spots.
This Discovery LC had a twin bed setup that can convert into a king-size bed using an extra cushion piece. The twin-to-king option gives flexibility: twin beds for day-to-day comfort, or one large sleeping space when wanted.
Up front, there’s also a TV area where the TV folds up, plus accent lighting around that space. Window coverings were installed, and the owner mentioned different shade options, with these planned to be swapped out. The owners added frosting on the windows and door glass for privacy.
For seating, this model has a jackknife sofa, and Casita also offers a dinette layout. A bunk bed version was mentioned, too, which could be a big deal for families shopping for molded fiberglass.
A wardrobe and upper cabinets round out the main storage spots. The owners noted the trailer comes with two tables that can be set up between the beds. (They left theirs at home to save space.)
The big change: Casita’s first dry bath
The headline feature is the bathroom. This was described as Casita’s first dry bath model, with the sink along the front wall, the toilet nearby, and a separate shower to the side.
The shower looked tall enough for an adult to stand comfortably. Carlo, at 6 feet tall, fit with extra headroom toward the front. The shower had a molded fiberglass look, a shower head set in the corner, plus a roof vent fan with a light.
Controls and indicators were also shown in this area, including tank level monitors, the pump controls, the water heater area, and the thermostat. There was also a fold-down centerpiece with cup holders.
Tank sizes mentioned for the Discovery LC were:
- Fresh: 45 gallons
- Gray: 40 gallons
- Black: 35 gallons
Specs and exterior walkaround highlights
Casita’s posted starting price was listed as $44,999, and the trailer shown was described as first off production. Here are the specs read from Casita’s site:
| Spec | Detail |
| Starting price | $44,999 |
| Length | 24 ft. 3 in. (tongue to bumper) |
| Overall height | 9 ft. 6 in. |
| Overall width | 8 ft. |
| Dry weight | 4,250 lbs. (before options) |
| GVWR | 6,000 lbs. |
| Interior length | 19 ft. 6 in. |
| Interior height | 6 ft. 7 in. |
| Interior width | 7 ft. 6 in. |
Outside, the Discovery LC rides on a larger steel frame than smaller Casitas, and the molded fiberglass finish and gel coat looked clean, with a two-tone gray and white option and updated graphics. It also had frameless, awning-style glass windows, which can stay cracked open in the rain.
The tandem torsion axles were a major part of the excitement, both for size and towing stability. Casita also lists the underbelly as enclosed, with heated tanks, and calls it four-season compatible. Dump valves were placed on the driver’s side toward the rear, with another gray valve forward of the driver-side front tire.
Other exterior details shown included a 30-amp plug, water hookup, a larger rear bumper with a cap (good for a sewer hose), LED taillights and marker lights, a hitch receiver on the back, a wide entry door, double steps, a grab bar, a long side awning that appeared manual, two 30 lb. LP tanks, and a roof solar panel.
Why the Casita Discovery LC had people stopping to look
A taller, wider Casita with tandem axles and a true dry bath is the kind of change molded fiberglass shoppers have waited on for a long time. Roy and Beth’s new trailer became a campground attraction fast, with plenty of people circling it for a peek. For anyone curious about where Casita goes next, the Discovery LC makes a strong first impression.

Isn’t 19’12” actually 20′? I’m getting pretty old and a lot of things have changed, but last I remember, 12″=1′.
Actually, I really like this trailer, especially the tandem torsion axles, twin beds, and dry bath. But 2 dump valves? And just for gray water? No thanks! Takes too much time at a busy dump.
All you need to dump the front gray tank is a 12v macerator pump and a 1″ line to the rear dump valves, which should be an easy factory install in that enclosed underbelly. I have exactly that factory install on my Class C to pump gray water over the rear axle and it works great!
Sorry, typo, thanks for catching it.
Love the fiberglass shell technology, but that interior; YEEESH! Casita needs to visit a few sailboat shows and see how it’s done.
Shouldn’t this unit instead be called the “Casa”?
Good point, Keith.👍 Have a great day! 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
