►►►►►►LIST OF OUR CAMPERS (PRESENT AND PAST)◄◄◄◄◄◄
►2020 Bigfoot 10.4 Truck Camper - We got our 2020 Bigfoot 10.4 Truck Camper in October 2021. We were contacted by a couple of subscribers (now good friends) who had theirs up for sale in Upstate New York so we headed out on an adventure. We sold our 2014 Bigfoot 10.4 within one day of listing it online.
►2014 Bigfoot 10.4 Truck Camper - We got our 2014 Bigfoot 10.4 in August 2021 from RVOne near Charlotte, NC. Todd was headed to buy a brand new Bigfoot 10.4 just before we got the Lance 975 but when he got to Southland RV, it was sold. That's when we decided to go to the Lance 975. We knew at some point in the future we'd have a Bigfoot again and here it is.
►2021 Lance 975 - We got our new 2021 Lance 975 from Chattanooga Fish n Fun in Hixson, TN in August 2020. After looking at several models, we decided on the Lance 975 (Check out Brad's channel from Chattanooga Fish n Fun, he gives great, thorough overviews of some really nice boats and campers.) We sold the Lance 975 in August 2021.
►2019 Northern Lite 10-2 Truck Camper - Bought and delivered from Mountain Motors in Troy, MO on 12/2019 and sold it in 01/2020.
►2005 Northern Lite 10-2 Truck Camper - Picked up on 8/10/2019 we did major repairs, maintenance and renovations to this one and sold it in 12/2019.
2008 Bigfoot 21RB - Sold 12/2019, we went across country to purchase from a dealer in Pueblo Colorado.
►2006 Casita Spirit Deluxe - Sold 07/2018 when we bought our Bigfoot.
►2002 A-liner - Sold 05/2017 when bought our 2006 Casita Spirit Deluxe.

Congrats on your new Bigfoot ! very nice ! 8 )
Wow! The Lance you reviewed in March didn’t last long, back to the molded fiberglass Bigfoot. That speaks loudly for fiberglass truck campers
Love'n it!
Wow, you've had a lot of campers. This was a year ago? In that year you've own two lances and now my Northern lite. Money, money, money ohhhhhh plus the trucks. You guys are hooked. We're looking at a BF, so would scissors steps work for me there? Thanks for sharing.
Love that camper, we're looking at the Northern Lite 10.2 and moving away from our 30 foot toy hauler.
My two loves. Well three if I include your channel, lol. Nowhere more beautiful than upstate NY. Spent 10 years there. Apples are the best also lived on a maple farm for a time-always have real syrup on hand. . Good timing too. No snow squalls.
So compared with the 10.6, the 10.4 moves the bathroom forward and the booth back, that makes total sense layout wise and reduces the bottle neck at the back door. And it adds the drivers side rear window. I own a 10.6, but I'd trade ya!
We just sold our Host 10’6”. Loved it. Now we want something else. Big Foot, no slide outs? Host had two slide outs.
Good Video! I think you guys should start a Truck Camper dealership. lol 😁
Beautiful truck camper! Love the no slides. Looks beautifully maintained…. Congratulations!
Congratulation to you both on the new Big Foot. Got to love it with the campers how less is more.
I had to drive from Missouri to texas 1100 miles to get a 05 10.6 for my 05 Dodge 3500 dullay .
Owned a 37 ft 5th wheel. In the beginning you fall in love with the space. But dread the lack of manoeverability.
Love the fiberglass campers! Great find and congratulations! I really like their 25 foot travel trailer as well!
Yes!!! I love it!💯 Congratulations y'all!!
Congratulations! Looks great!!!
Very nice! Great buy!
Dream rig for me! Congrats! 🎉
This is out of order but I just saw your new F 450, nice, but I didn't see the Lance. Y'all sell it already? Don't blame you if you did, I would have kept the Bigfoot. From all the owners videos I have seen , molded fiberglass is the way to go. I really like the 25' trailer as well and the Oliver legacy Ii.
Very nice congratulations guys
Hola!. Hace mucho tiempo que no sabía de ustedes!.
Congrats! New adventures await!
very cool to see you Guys so jazzed! take care
Very nice.
Congrats on your new to you Bigfoot. love that model! all the best in your future trips!.
Very cool story about how you came to own this beauty! Love it and hope you have many happy miles in the Bigfoot. Lemme know in a couple of months when you sell it for something else ;-) Go Braves!!!!
You guys did it again.... Lol
Congrats on the 2020 Bigfoot👍
Nice. Ordered my 2020 RAM 3500 DRW with cooper tires. Have 26k haulin my Arctic Fox 990. Long time follower. Hope to run into you guys someday. Exploring Georgia now.
Congratulations on your new Bigfoot,, hope you have a good ride next week on the SXS be watching for the video
Love the new Bigfoot. That's a beauty. Looks like a great place to camp... I would be doing some fishing ! Thank you for sharing
I was supposed to watch this with my hubby but I couldn't wait we want a Class C so bad and we were ready to get one and then Pandemic hit and all the prices skyrocketed. Ill watch it again later with him LOL (fort wilderness Ricky) the inside is amazing
I totally get what you are doing. Its like they say you have to build the same house three times to get it right. Searching for the best fit in camper is also the same kind of experience. Great time do sample the various manufacturers because of the supply and demand issues going on right now. Glad you found the one you wanted in the first place. Steve
Looks great Todd if you need wider spacers for your happi jacks I have a set of 5” spacers from when I had my happi jacks on my last camper if they’ll work for you let me know.
Can you talk a little about the weight of the unit and your truck and mods you made to carry the Bigfoot offroad? Thanks, love the channel! Praying for the day my wife and I can upgrade to this setup! Love it!
Just don’t ever forget to open valve on blank take or you will blow that baby up and it makes a ungodly mess. A guy and his with got in a pretty good fight mouth fight no hitting and he forgot to open valve black tank flush and that baby blew up and there was everything inside camper and basement and this was first or second time out , what a mess and was not covered under warranty!
Congrats on the new camper! Definitely looking forward to your future video of the camper tiedowns and happyjack extension! I also know exactly what you're talking about! I have a 2020 RAM and 2021 BF 10.4...clearance is very tight! Leaving Monday for a four month stay in the Sabino Canyon Recreational Area in Tucson. Volunteering as work camper for a free spot with fhu and laundry. Looking forward to seeing friends from last year's stay. Ty for another great video!
Hey Nathaniel? How did your Bigfoot and you do in Tucson???
Not sure about a cooler full of salmon. Though fairly large I think 2 or 3 is the daily limit. Get your smoker ready though. Nothing like cold smoked salmon ( under 90 deg). Tip: Big Lots has Smoked Salmon for $10 a pack (about 14 oz.). It is delicious with some capers and lemon on a nice bakery loaf slice of bread. I buy many packs and refrigerate. It is good as is for 4 yrs usually. So I have plenty overlapping.
That sounds like a good tip we'll have to look for it at Big Lots. Thanks for watching!
lots of great info in your videos (very helpful )I have never had a lance (do not see many in Canada )
have owned Bigfoot, Arctic Fox and Northern lite I find the Bigfoot to be the best built overall the side was nice in the Arctic fox more room when there are 3 of us all good but hard to not like the bigfoot and northern lte for the limited seams (fiberglass shell) but you give up the room off the side
Well guys I'm glad you got your new trailer the one that you wanted but I couldn't really tell that much difference in it of course I haven't been on TH-cam for a while so my observation skills are down just a little bit right now but it looks great and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Y'all have a great day and stay safe!
Hey Terry, It's good to hear from you. I hope you are doing well. I know you commented several days ago on another video. Sorry I'm just now getting back to you, I'm bad about sitting down to comment back to people. Our new camper isn't much different from the one we just sold, it just has more bells and whistles. Different interior colors and graphics. Take Care and thanks again for watching. ~ Todd
Some day...might be too late...life is short & full of unexpected events.....do it now..live like there is no tomorrow.
Jmho 😎
Ps: happy to see that my 95 Bigfoot hasn't aged a bit compared to this 2020 (even the same skylight )
Nice review. That didn’t take long from when you got the 2014 Big Foot. Tough to keep up with your campers. Are you back to banging your head on a shorter rear door opening? What made you decide to go back to hard side from the slide-out? I myself really like the fiberglass design concept. Been reviewing Northerns and will now have to include Big Foot. Thanks for the vid.
I have a 40ft 5th wheel with 4 slideouts and I've owned a lance 1162, and believe it or not i prefer the truck camper, the 5th just to big unless you're going to live in it.
What axle ratio do you have? I had a 1996 dodge ram dually diesel class c....setro scotty 25 foot motorhome. We loved ut! Had 3.43 gears and way back then lots less hp. However that rig was a phenomenal pulling machine. Despite a 12500 wet weight and all that frontal area we got 12 ti 15 mpg with the ny emissions whuxj meant less fuel injection. Loved the piwer under load. Hope you enjoy yours. I am thinking of another class c on a pickup chassis
Congrats on the new bigfoot! Did you do anything to beef up the rear suspension ie. Timbren springs, Airbags etc.? Your truck looks level is why I ask. How much does it weigh fully loaded?
My truck has the factory air bags and I've added a Roadmaster anti-sway bar on the back. They are both great to have with a truck camper. Thanks for watching!
Can you guys do a video on Big Foot vs Northen Lite?
I probably will someday. Thanks for watching!
You had a beautiful Lance. I am curious why you prefer the Bigfoot so much. Are we talking better quality? Do you miss the slide? Are the Bigfoots a more solid unit? We are considering downsizing. It will enable us to camp in places we can’t now.
Hi Marc Nickleson, We did like our Lance camper however we prefer molded fiberglass campers. In our opinion we feel like the Bigfoot is better quality. No we don't miss the slide although it does make for more room. I like not having to put a slide in and out just to get in the camper. You asked a pretty loaded question. I may make a video on the differences between the campers one day. Thanks for watching! ~ Todd
Sorry… Not trying to corner you. We are Ga. folks as well and we are looking at downsizing. We also like off roaring and we want to take our rig to places we can’t go now. Maybe some off grid camping as well. I also like the idea of having the use of the pickup. We are thinking of flatbed though. In your experience, any known issues?
Love your videos!
I don't understand, where is the Lance? Do you still have it?
Hi Theresa, thank you and we sold the Lance and got a new to us Bigfoot 10.4. Thanks for watching!
@@RunawayRoses , thanks for the update!
Enjoy the Bigfoot!
Hello Roses. Do you still have the Lance 975? That was like a cabin. Tony
No we sold the Lance a few months ago. Thanks for watching!
So which campers do you like the best from the Lance, Northern light or the big foot?
How do you like having the fan above the bed VS the skylight hatch you had in previous campers? Sometimes I think I would prefer the sky light, but then I wonder if I would really even use it all that much and I really like to have my ceiling fan going when I sleep. There's a 2008 bigfoot 10.6 for sale with the truck near me that I really wish I could get. I don't have a truck so that would be perfect. Hopefully, once I'm actually ready to take the plunge I'll be able to find another. If y'all don't keep buying them all up. 😉😂
Hi Diver Girl82, We have found that we prefer having a fan over the bed vs a skylight. We have had Heki skylights in two of our campers and never really used them. They are neat that you can open them and stand up through them but I never really did that. It does let a lot of light in but I don't really like having that much light come in directly over the bed. I think it is far more useful to have a fan than just a skylight over the bed. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching! ~ Todd
@@RunawayRoses it does, thank you. 😊
I was wondering if you notice the bed being not a full queen? I was looking at one and was concerned it might be an issue
Hi Mike Billing, I was concerned about that as well but it really hasn't been a big issue for me. I am six foot but I would think anybody much over that may find it not as desirable. If you're under six foot you probably wouldn't notice it being a big deal. I would prefer an 80" bed but I love the rest of the camper enough that it isn't a big deal for me. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching ~ Todd
why did you guys decide to switch campers again? what is the difference in this camper vs your other one that you decided to make the switch?
Nice camper full timing in your future?
Hey Texan1845, No we won't be full timing we have full time jobs. Thanks for watching!
And the Bigfoot gets great gas mileage too.
I am totally confused. You have two Bigfoot campers that are the same floorplan, and the Lance 975??!! What is different about the newer Bigfoot, and what happened to the Lance?? I thought that was your favorite??
Hi John Anderson, We now only have our newer 2020 Bigfoot 10.4. We sold our Lance and other Bigfoot. The Lance was a nice camper but we prefer molded fiberglass campers. Thanks for watching!
Hi. Are you all selling the old Bigfoot??? I'm interested in it!
We've already sold it but thanks for asking and watching.
Why do y'all like a Bigfoot 10.4 vs Host with 2 slides? I am looking at a Host Cascade 10.5. Sell me on the Bigfoot you chose.
Wait, what happened to the Lance? I thought you were keeping that one? Is the Bigfoot better than the Lance in your opinion?
We sold the Lance 975. We did like it but we prefer molded fiberglass campers and more specifically Bigfoot RV's. Thanks for watching!
I have a Lance 992 and really like it but the Lance you had with the slide on the roadside is a big mistake in my opinion you cannot open it up when you are parked in town and you need to open it up to get inside of the camper which is a no-no for me stuck in traffic. but the new Bigfoot looks really good congratulations I am not too far from the salmon river been there many times you should’ve took a trip up to the Saint Lawrence to Alexandria Bay great spot to visit. while you were there
Dude you vaping behind the camera or grilling? Lots a smoke in the video.
LOL,. That was the grill. Thanks for watching!
probably people asked u 100X times. is ur ram deleted? lol
LOL, love it!!! Congratulations. Great video. Wonderful couple that you purchased it from. Beautiful country and scenery. I appreciate you guys working so hard buying new campers to keep us entertained!!! ;) Hope to see ya in 2022!!!
