I've had a tour of another RV factory so I've seen their construction process, but I've never heard of any other manufacturer - of any type of RV - providing photos of each customer's own unit throughout the build.

The first photo in post #1729, low in the centre with a white frame?

It looks a lot like the cat doors we have - did you get Escape to put in a door to a kitty bathroom under the seat? Litterboxes are a pain, especially in a small space, and we have converted storage compartments into rooms to contain the litter in two RVs, both with plastic flap doors that look about like that.

I noticed that in the earlier photos. That's something that we want to add when we order ours, so I'm really looking forward to seeing the completed photos. Also, looks like you're getting a u-shaped dinette? We want one of those as well.

Probably because no one else builds to order. Construction photos of Casitas would be pretty generic.

Yeah, like, you get blue or brown fabric. Wow, what a choice.

Yeah, and stock blue decals or no decals. Vinyl flooring costs extra too!

TA 5.0 Latest photos

Yet more photos, one of which cpaharley2008 may explain the large hole (it's a cat flap).

more 5.0 TA photos

I just love that they send so many pictures! Not that I'm anxious or anything; it's just that picturing it in my mind is different than in 3D (or something close to it).

That cat may get fried around all that electrical and solar paraphernalia!! You sure you want the litter box located there?

It's actually just a hidey hole for the scaredy cat (and 17 pounder). He hides under the blanket when company comes over, because of course you can't see that big lump under the blanket. I'm thinking the litter box may go in the bathroom. We'll see.

Love that tall cabinet by the door, CherryAmes! Definitely have to get one in ours! How much extra did it cost you? Thanks

Grant and Kathy, looks as if you are half way there! I am still wondering what that dinette opening has as I cannot enlarge it.
Not long now!

It's so exciting to see all these build pictures. Since we've been looking at them for so many months a lot more is understandable (to me) as to the structure. Especially the 5.0TA photos, as I know that layout (ours)! Thank you all for sharing.... so excited for you all!

The exchange rate kept going up so we kept adding things to the build sheet.

Still managed to keep it under the budget we set for ourselves back in December.. ☺

That's kind of the way it worked here. One thing were getting is storage cubby bins at the head of the bed. We'll have to see what they look like. Loren
