How to Hang Frames on Carpeted Walls of Casita Travel Trailer

How to Hang Frames on Carpeted Walls of Casita Travel Trailer

How do you hang frames or other stuff on your Casita Travel Trailer’s carpeted walls?

Metal curtain hooks!

How To:

Insert the long, straight side of the pin down into the carpeted wall. Use the hook side to hang your frame from.

They work great! The previous owner of our Casita shared this tip with us.

Where to get the hooks:

You can get them at any fabric store like Jo-Ann Fabrics. You can also find them at Walmart. Or, you can ship them straight to your house from Amazon here.

Before You Start Driving:

Make sure you take down your frames before you start driving with the Casita. You don’t want the frames to pop off and glass to shatter everywhere.

Before we start driving, we take the frames down and put them face down on our bed. When we arrive at our destination, we put them back up. It takes a couple minutes.

More Ideas:

Have fun decorating! If you’re looking for some inspiration and ideas, here’s some photos of how we renovated/decorated our Casita. Safe and happy travels! -Lindsey

Travel Trivia:

16. What is the dangly piece of flesh called hanging over a turkey’s beak? Dangles, snoods, or gobblers?

Answer: Snoods. All turkeys have snoods, however, males have longer snoods (around five inches long) and it’s used to attract mates. When a male turkey wants to attract a female, the snood turns bright red and gets even longer. It’s believed longer snoods show females which male has more superior genes.

17. How long in days was the first Thanksgiving celebration?

Answer: The first Thanksgiving celebration lasted three days. It was to celebrate the Pilgrims’ first successful corn harvest.

18. True or False: Only female turkeys go “gobble, gobble.”

Answer: False. Only male turkeys gobble and females cackle. The male turkey is called a tom or gobbler. The female is called a hen and…

19. What are baby turkeys called?

Answer: A poult or chick. A young male is called a jake and a young female is called a jenny. Now we have the whole family: tom, hen, jake, and jenny:)

20. Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November?

Answer: On December 26, 1941 Congress passed a law making the fourth Thursday of November the official Thanksgiving holiday. How the holiday’s date got to Congress is a long story: The tradition started in 1789 when President George Washington planned Thursday, November 26 as the "Day of Publick Thanksgivin." Every year after that, the holiday was decided by the president and it was on different days and months. Then, after Lincoln gave his national address in 1863 the last week of November became the practiced holiday. Then, in the 1930’s there was a big debate of when to celebrate Thanksgiving. In 1933, there was a November with five weeks and retailers asked President Roosevelt if the holiday could be moved up a week so there was more time to shop for Christmas. There was a public outrage and the President said no. Then, there was another five week November in 1939. Retailers asked the President again to move the holiday and this time he did. Many states followed the President’s change of holiday to the fourth Thursday, but other states kept the holiday to the last Thursday. This happened two years in a row. To unite the country, on December 26, 1941 Congress passed a law making Thanksgiving the last Thursday of November. Crazy! You can read the story here.
