A strong move by Casita. I would still chose my E2 again over the larger Casita (for many reasons).

if their specs are accurate, I predict many suspension issues. 

After adding options like A/C, cooktop, electric jack, larger capacity batteries, awning, furnace plus full propane and water tanks there will not be much buffer left for furnishings, food and personal items before going over capacity, especially if camping as a Family as it is marketed.  

• Dry Weight: 4,250lbs (Before Options)
• GVWR 6,000lbs

I hope to see one at the fiberglas rally in Quartzsite this Winter.

Lots of wood inside.  Would not work for us, as the wife has a severe mold allergy.  Trailers leak, and once any wood gets wet and does not quickly dry out, mold happens.  We are glad we could afford an Oliver Elite II.

In similar fashion, I can't do the wood or carpeted interior because of all the glues (formaldehyde) and my severe allergies. My allergies began with exposure to formaldehyde! 

And while that large refrigerator looks nice, I sure would miss my pantry in my E2.

And - 

what's "wrong" with "rat fur"?

Back in the day when I was first looking at molded fiberglass, I took a look at a Casita.  I was fairly impressed with the "oak" cabinet doors until I looked a bit more closely and saw that they were actually "press board" with a decal oak cover.  Then I looked at the rat fur, then I looked at the frame, then I looked at the "holes" in the shell that were used to secure the "furniture inside, then I took a look at .....

I will give Casita a little credit. They are certainly taking “little bites” out of the fiber glass travel trailer market for folks who just cannot justify 90-100k for an Oliver. Smart forward thinking with their R&D folks with a larger/longer camper and dry bath to boot. And oh gee, how interesting? Casita must be listening to their customers! 🤔

Might be just me, But I bet they sell quite a few baskets of those eggs! 😄

Casita did a pretty good job with this new trailer.  Tank sizes, especially black tank, dry bath and large fridge are all good selling points.  At about half the price of an Oliver this is going to provide some competition.  I hope Oliver is working on their next trailer!  Mike

We loved our Casita but I could never go back to the rat fur on the walls. 

Looking at the layout of the Casita 24 made me wonder if I would trade the closet in the Oliver for the dry bath layout in the new Casita.  For me it's an easy no.  But I often hear the wet bath in the Oliver is a non starter for some folks.
