When one travels in a 17 foot camper, they need to be very savvy about the difference between a want and a need. We rarely use a microwave at home. We don’t watch TV and we are primarily vegetarian so no TV, micro, roasters or big grills are needed– or wanted by us. This makes […]
A week goes by so quickly. I may have to move to monthly camping trip updates if I ever want to post enough of the other fun ideas that are rattling around in my camping starved brain. Last week, we explored the trip west along I-70 starting in Montgomery City Mo and finishing in Arrow […]
The thing about traveling in such a small camper is one needs to be judicious about what they allow into their space. First it should fill at least one need (preferably at least two) and second it best work harmoniously with the colors, so that everything flows together and not create visual clutter. My decorating […]
Today’s post is a continuation of a series from my Facebook page (Casita Divas), where I explore the many wonderful places to camp and enjoy in my home State, each Monday. Missouri’s beauty lies in all its little river towns and winding quiet places. Today’s park is in just such a little hamlet–a place that […]
I have a little FB page called Casita Divas and other Fiberglass Eggs where I post fun things for little campers that I find along the way. It just makes me happy to share the things that work. I want to encourage everyone to find their way outdoors and just slow down in a place […]
My February was lost to a most nasty flu bug that hung on and on. As I recuperated, I mused about camping in the Egg and what was working and what I could do to make it even more functional. Everything in a Casita needs to be multi functional, durable and solve at least one […]
Well gosh, it’s been a while since my last post. Seems like everything and the kitchen sink have been thrown at me since my last post. In mid January I was T-boned by a man who appeared to be heck-bent on doing himself in — using me and my van to do it. Wow! I’m still […]
I can’t speak for all, but I will say these Eggs do seem to be an aphrodisiac all on their own. Maybe it’s the close quarters, maybe the 8″ of soft foam mattress, maybe the long days of walks in the woods while holding hands, maybe it’s the team effort to cook a savory meal […]
Traveling small does not mean plain. It might mean flat. So, if you have an old shirt box or lightweight cardboard and some holiday tissue paper, you have a decoration. In my case, I didn’t have the box so I just used some handy poster board. Materials: Scissors/Craft Knife Pencil/Eraser Poster Board Clear Contact […]
People often ask how we fit two adults a 50lb Bassador and a 22 pound Corgi in our little 17′ camper. The answer is: with a little patience, a good deal of organization and a lot of love. Though we have a three burner propane stove inside, we do most of our cooking and living […]
