There is storage overhead along the around the wall on all sides right above the windows. I actually took these photos for the Casita site and didn't include any shots of the storage. I'll add them if someone is interested.

Here are the particulars:
I am the original owner. I have made frequent long weekend trips all over south Texas, up to Oklahoma, over thru New Mexico, to Arizona several times. I have been full-timing since August. I tow with a 2007 Toyota, 4Runner, SR5 with the tow package. Price is $14,950, if there are included items that you aren’t interested in we can leave them out. E-mail me at kc5cbzATyahoo.com.

This Casita has all the standard items included on a 17’ Spirit Deluxe in 2008. In addition, the following factory options were ordered for this Egg:
Interior Convenience Package (Range Cover, Sink Cover, TV Antenna with Amplifier, TV Shelf, Cable Ready), Accessory Package (Water Hose, Bubble Levels, Blowout Plug, Water Pressure Regulator), Furnace, Awning, Water Heater Upgrade – gas or electric with Electric Ignition, Fresh Water Tank upgrade to 25 gallons, Outside Shower, High Lift Axle, Sway Bar, Fantastic Roof Vent with Reverse upgrade (thermostat control), Vinyl flooring.

I have made the following enhancements:
Maxx Air Vent cover over Fantastic Fan, relocated fire extinguisher (just outside closet door), changed door above microwave to open down (previously opened up), microwave door modification (removed chain links on door and replaced with wooden support under door for more flat space), microwave and toaster/convection oven, changed out interior light covers to clear and lights to LEDs, modified stove cover to prop up and place sink cover in to create additional flat space, installed reflective heat/sun shade on windows, installed light colored Pergo over the vinyl flooring – it can be removed to use vinyl if desired.

I will include these items:
Tire covers, tongue lock, tongue chock, sewer hose to sewer adapter, kit for the grey water tank vapor lock fix, black water water hose, small battery operated air pump can be used to add air to tires or blow out water from the water lines (winterize), extendable mirrors for tow vehicle, 30 amp to 110 converter, 50 amp to 30 amp converter.

The Egg is in Schertz, TX, just north of San Antonio. I would be willing to discuss either deliverying or meeting the buyer part way. However, that depends if I sell my Toyota, my tow vehicle, before or after the Egg. I can't tow the 4Runner behind "Bunkie" so I need to sell it and get a toad. Since it was cold down here last night, I am motivated to sell both items so I can get to the warm part of TX, i.e. the Rio Grand Valley area. What's cold? 21 degrees :o

Birdie, not to discourage you but it was 31 in the Valley last night lol. I am in La Feria and had to dig out my gloves and extra heaters last night!! What was the story about Texas being warm??!

BTW, your egg looks very nice...Sure hope you find an early buyer :)

Well Jan, that would be 10 degrees warmer than here!! :mrgreen: I think I might go down to SPI and see if I can park at Casa Blanca County Park and then go dig a hole in the sand on the beach. Water would be warmer than 31 so maybe the sand would treat me nice like a turtle. I did get my flannel lined pants out and layered like crazy. Hope you warm up quickly.

How long are you staying in the valley? I plan to be down there sometime after the 6th of January. Maybe we can do a GTG. Will be birding with a group of 6 the later part of January.

I, too hope for an early sale. I need a toad. Also, need to sell my 4Runner.

I am here at Stone Creek until January 6th, then head for the valley. Maybe we can find a cup of coffee here before I leave and after you get here. We could probably get Karen to come in and maybe we could convince Diana to drive down from Austin.

I'd love to come down BUT can't leave Kerrville early as I'm waiting for Carole to get back from the coast so we can leave for Florida. Will be leaving Kerrville on the 4th of Jan and be in Palestine the night of the 4th to meet up with Diana (Mtngirl). I can hardly wait to hit the road in Jan. Never been to Florida before. FUN, FUN, FUN.

Maybe you should put a price for the truck and casita together? Some would like that package deal! Just a thought.

Good luck.

Well, Beth, tis a good idea, but you know while you were typing that, I was over in Kerrville, visiting with Karen. You know what happens when I go visit with Karen? It costs me. And you know I figure that Mtngal is partly to blame because we were going to F-Burg and meet her for lunch, but she got sick and cancelled. That left me totally at Karen's mercy! This time I traded my Toyota for a 2009 Ford Edge SEL AWD as a toad.

Just kidding around. It was a good deal and though I cried because I had to sell the Toyota, I really loved that car, it had to be done. I needed a TOAD - now I have one. Just need to get it hooked up.

God is good, all is well. But more good new, I have a sale pending on the Egg. A gentleman in Seattle has said he will send me a Cashier's check. I fully expect that he will and I will be ready for the rest of my life :D Woo hoo.

Wooohooo Nancy, that is excellent news. (Not going to comment on the Karen and spending money part - she'd kick my butt - and, btw, where has she been, haven't seen a post from her? - hmmm, might have to kick HER butt).

Again, Congrats. How kewl is that - a new toad for you - AND the casita sold so quickly. Wishing you that the check arrives quickly.

Birdie forgot to also tell that I got her onto Ebay and she bought a tow bar and is looking at Brake Buddies. My new career - spending OTHER people's money.
Fredericksburg today to meet Mtngirl (Diana) for lunch. Sprinter came over the other evening and we sat around yakking and drinking wine. Good times.
