Bigfoot reviews

RV Bigfoot is a Canadian company that builds fiberglass-shelled travel trailers and pickup campers. They are particularly well insulated and are four-season campers It is 110” wide which gives it some advantages in terms of interior space. It has a 6’ 4” interior ceiling height but only a 8’ 4” exterior height, excluding the air conditioner. That additional width means that they still feel spacious even without a slide room, which also means no issues with slide mechanisms. Along the ceilings is a marine-grade woven fabric that sort of looks like carpeting but is washable and helps with both sound and thermal insulation. The walls, too, are a washable material being a soft vinyl. Cabinets and other wooden structures are solid wood with a choice of two wood finishes, a traditional birch finish or a slightly darker “Driftwood” finish. Insulation continues to the thermal-pane windows that have day/night shades on them. Outside you can get a large storage compartment on the front tongue for the various hoses and other goodies we need as campers. The compartments have an access hatch on either side with a light inside. Further front there is another compartment that houses the two 30 pound propane bottles. Bigfoot trailers are composed of two large fiberglass “tubs” which are joined down the middle and fused together. Each of these tubs is made of 1/8” thick fiberglass and then an inch and a half of insulation resides between the inner and outer shell. This is both relatively light weight and also strong with the added benefit of providing good thermal and sound insulation. The additional width of this trailer does offer a more spacious feel but that is just the start with there being a windshield and then windows on either side of the dinette, which occupies the front of this model. Of course that dinette table folds down to become a bed but there’s also an additional seat toward the rear of the trailer that’s part of the dinette so there’s almost a day bed even before you get to folding the table. Across from the entrance is the refrigerator which is the traditional propane-electric gas absorption model. On the camp side is the rest of the galley which features a three-burner stove and 22” oven with a round stainless steel sink down the line toward the rear of the galley. Cabinets occupy the space above the dinette and also above the sink and stove. Overhead is a standard high-performance fan but you can also get one of these over the bed. Down the camp side there’s a closet which sits opposite the bathroom. One of the nicer things about the walk-in shower is that there’s a step/seat in the shower. The 60” x 74” RV queen bed sits “east west” but, owing to the width of this trailer, it is a walk-around queen. On either side of the bed are hanging closets and there are tables below those with more cabinets across the top. Once again windows are the word of the day with there being a large rear window and one on either side of the camper. Factor in that high-performance fan and it becomes apparent why the air conditioner is an option on Bigfoot trailers. In the bedroom Bigfoot has a carpet that sits around the bed which can be lifted out and removed. That’s pretty slick as you get to walk on carpeting but you can remove it for cleaning. Or just because. Maybe National Carpet Removal day or something. See this content Owners I’ve talked to people rave about the buying experience. While the trailers are sold through dealers owner, Grant, has been mentioned in numerous places where you can really customize the trailers to your liking. I saw models that have three high-performance fans, solar and other changes. You can also get this model is also prepped for a generator which is unusual in a trailer of this size. If you do choose a generator it will be an Onan 2.5 propane-fueled model. There’s also a luggage rack on the roof, which you don’t see much. Bigfoot is not unlike the rest of the RV industry where there is a long waiting list of RVs but the company also states that some dealers have a standing order for a specific number of models so that might be the way to get one. The good thing is that the company will still work with you if you’re able to get in this way. It’s unusual to find a company in the RV space where there are this many really positive comments in the various social places I troll so that speaks well of Bigfoot RV. With these kind of credentials no wonder the waiting list is so long. Show less

We owned this camper for 11 years and used it all over the western USA and Canada. Purchased it in Alaska when our new Airstream trailer self destructed on the AlCan Hwy and drove it home to AZ. We would still have it but, the only draw back, is that it high off the ground and we are in our late 70's and worried about falling, coming close a few times. I would highly recommend this camper to anyone. We had virtually no trouble with this camper in the 11 years we owned it. The new owners were amazed at the fact that it looked brand new in and out. The factory was always helpful with any questions we had or if we needed a part from them. Not a thing bad to say about this camper. Don't think that many people can say that about an RV! Buy one and have some great adventures with it, we certainly did! You won't regret it. Show less

Bought this RV used 5 years ago. We were looking for a trailer to accommodate 2-3 adults, be towable with a small truck (Tacoma, V6 engine), and be small enough to fit on most campground spots, not just pull-throughs. We have taken the BigFoot around the East of North America. Excellent construction and insulation compared to more mainstream manufacturers, with solid floors, oak cabinets, real mattresses, full-size fridge and freezer. The floor plan is conservative, but efficient. The full restroom with separate shower and hot water is great. The fiberglass shell is reassuring, solid, and easy to work with. The windows' glass is thermal, and combined with full polyurethane insulation, extends the camping season through late November, in Canada. The only drawback; the BigFoot is about as aerodynamic as a mountain; it's a cube. The front with its window cover is almost vertical. The sidewalls are vertical. Would buy again in a heartbeat, and would buy nothing else. Our previous "Jayco & Co" didn't hold up against this 20-year-old BigFoot. Even our Winnebago doesn't compare in terms of build quality.

Bigfoot is a huge name in the motorhome world. These things are workhorses!! I couldn't find one under $30k, I would buy this if I didn't already have two. If you are looking for a great motorhome,then Bigfoot I add the one for you@@@ Show less

I love the Bigfoot, my camping trip in Colorado in June I woke up to 6" of snow. The Bigfoot was so well insulated I didn't get cold or even wake up. Once you need up the suspension on your truck the Camper drives fine. I did a new set of Bilstein shocks and a pair of Timbren rubber bump stops and I traveled the speed limit even in high winds. I had to get use to people wanting to look inside, the auto response was it's so big inside. I can't think of a shortcoming except it's limited to 4 people. Great quality after 15 years it still looks new. Show less

The floor plan of the Bigfoot 10.6 feels like a suite / condo / coach then a camper on a truck . I really appreciate the marine feel from the fiberglass build. Some campers feel more like a bedroom in the kitchen . This has a privacy about it ?? Show less

Bigfoot trailers - best trailers to own. Solid construction and interiors. Lightweight 2 piece fiberglass construction make for tight, light, towable perfection. You simply can't beat the quality. We just keep buying Bigfoot trailers because anything else is inferior. Towing with an F150 = easy. Show less

Owned many RV's. This trailer is by far the best ever, Superb quality and workmanship. Couldn't be happier. Very rare and hard to find. Have a 27' Airstream in the family, wouldn't want to trade. Towing with a 2016 Chevy Colorado Diesel, fantastic combination. Enjoying every trip!! Show less

Excellent to use in a park with hook ups or free wheeling in the back country for three days or more with out hook ups. Very comfortable. Hardly know is on the truck traveling about - freeways or back roads. Show less
