If you're new to our channel then in a approximately a year, you might see us camping in something different than what you see here. We're notorious for changing it up occasionally, variety is the spice of life, right? Hope you enjoy seeing our new camper, let us know if you have any questions and feel free to like and/or subscribe if you haven't already.

►►►►►►LIST OF OUR CAMPERS (PRESENT AND PAST)◄◄◄◄◄◄
►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.
Wow, I love it. No slide, just 2 pieces put together. Great find.
Nice Camper. I love the rear kitchen and dinette with the forward Bath.
Very nice! Looks like it was well taken of.
So your the reason none of us are able to find anything nice during these troubling times. You 2 keep buying everything up. Carlas enthusiasm is quite a bit lack luster compared to her review of the Lance 😂😂. Safe travels and enjoy it !!!!
Haha, at the point we did this video, I was just hoping we were going to sell the Lance, otherwise we'd have two big truck campers sitting in the garage and honestly after finding this Bigfoot I sure didn't want to have to sell it because they're so hard to find. Anyway, we buy but we also sell so either way we're stimulating the economy and since we videoed this, we have sold our Lance. Thank goodness, now I can relax and enjoy our new Bigfoot :-) Thanks for watching! ~Carla
Very nice. My 10.6e works well in cold and warm weather. And the appliances all work. Best truck camper I could find.
Love the layout in the Bigfoot. It doesn't look cheaply built which is always a plus.
Just like any other Bigfoot owner - just can't stop buying them!
Y over northern lite? I just discovered bigfoot
Looks very clean and is definitely well built.
Out 10.4 is a 2015 and we boondock way more than organize site camp. We added Lithium Batteries, two solar controllers, one for the 400 watt fixed solar on the roof and one for an SAE Jack for our portables. 2,000 watt inverter as well. We can stay off grid indefinitely. Like you we rarely used our microwave until we installed the inverter. Now use it regularly.
What about using the air conditioner will solar and lithium run it
@@dennisreynolds6915 The 2000 watt inverter will not be enough. You would need a much larger 3,000 watt a believe but I would double check with a good solar outfit like Solar Energy Systems in Indiana. They also attend and do the installs at Quartzsite every year.
Than you….. to show us your private camper. Enjoy your times with your wife any wherever you go keep it up 👍
Congratulations! My wife & I are only on our second RV (in 4 years) and considering our third. I love that you are still searching for that perfect RV and aren’t afraid to changeout. Life’s short so have fun!
Carla and Todd this is my first time writing you all... First of all I have been following you adventures and reviews for over a year. The both of you do great work and great reviews of other manufacturers and products.. Your videos have gotten better and better. Thanks for the hard work you put into all your videos. The Banks family
beautiful
Thanks 👍
I've seen the work you two have done on other campers and know that this is going to look even better once both of you get at it. And it looks good now! Congrats! Man, you guys have had some really nice campers!
Your truck camper is beautiful , i am in love .....good travel To us
Todd, you got us all excited again about our Bigfoot, great vid, see you on the road
I travel in a Northstar non- slide 3 months/yr and love it! I do love the Bigfoot’s too… pros and cons to both.
If you can live tiny happily…the non-slides are awesome. I think you both have a truck camper addiction and like to improve them. I understand completely! It’s great seeing what you do to improve and decorate them!
Please keep flipping them as it’s pure fun for me to see your ingenuity and excellent diy skills!❤️
I can't believe you, this is great. Keep the economy going.
Great video, thanks
This is a beautiful camper, congratulations! 🎉 We love molded fiberglass too (we have an Escape). Fun times ahead in this beauty! It took us some time getting used to a gas only water heater but over time have found it to be quite energy efficient - for our needs, it doesn't really seem to draw an extreme amount of gas.👍 Great tour - thanks! -Jody
Are you kidding?that bathrooms big.Wow for a camper that is big.Impressive
Looks very nice! This is our favorite camper that you have purchased!!!
Really nice camper. Well thought out. Lots of storage. Congratulations!
Welcome to the Bigfoot family! WoW you’re taking a beating for changing campers. I can tell Todd loves projects. I can understand it’s not all about flipping for money, more a pride for improvement! You are a great team!
Sure maximizes the space... lots of storage. Looks like it is great shape. Can't wait to see what you guys do with this one! Nice rig!
@Happy Place Diaries, thanks! It is in pretty good shape. We did find a little water damage but otherwise it's good. We're excited about putting our touch on it. Hope you guys are doing well! ~Carla
@@RunawayRoses Doing Great! Been a heck of a summer!
Awesome.
I loved your 975. I think we love the simplicity of non slide. Looks like a great camper. Looks like brand new. Best wishes. If up in Michigan email or message us. Awesome windows. Safe
travels. Be curious how you like it vs Northern Lite you had.
This has a better layout then most of the smaller campers I've looked at! Dry bath, counterspace, and a double sink, wow. They did a great job of fitting a Qt. of Jello into a pint jar. :)
Great review guys, I actually live just 10 minutes from the Bigfoot factory just between Vernon and Armstrong BC, I have heard you say a couple of times how hard it is to find these awesome products and its true, being I am in there backyard and still have to wait 6-8 months to get an order, the great thing is they will Not rush a build, they build them very methodically and everyone in the factory can do any job in building them, if you ever get the chance and your visiting the area you should do a factory tour as the company owner will give you a personal tour, something you never see now days.
Thanks for another great video. I've learned alot from you folks about the RV trailer and truck mount campers. I'm sold on the concept of fiberglass campers after watching your videos. I hope to get my first camper within the next year.
Cool camper enjoy
Congratulations
Started following y’all. Love you guys. Always do great videos but y’all got an obsession with truck campers. A healthy obsession 😀
At least the rear awning made it thru Carla's wrath. LOL!
Hi Carla and Todd, congratulations!!! Looks like a great truck camper. LOL, love those egg campers!!!
Hey Dean,. You know that's right. 😁
Thank you both for this walk through. This camper has an amazing amount of storage IMHO. True you sacrifice a little bit of hallway room, but it has a great floorplan and the rear dinette and kitchen just works great. I am interested to see if you will notice it haul better too because of the weight savings. The slide outs were nice in the Lance for opening things up but it suffered I think from not as much storage. Time will tell. Hopefully follow up with a vid with your outing experiences. Also, that large compartment for the generator, where you have your grill is a huge deal maker. When the pandemic eases, now, I am going up to BC to take a look around at the Big Foot plant. Great presentation. Steve
2nd viewing, thanks again..
It has the track for the rear steps so if you want to tow a boat or trailer, you can still have steps up to the camper on either side. Nice looking camper.
nice tour
I just want to say that you’re one beautiful lady 😊 god bless
I never really was interested in non-slide out campers but I do really like this one. Lots of storage and not claustrophobic. My dog would like the Taylor window alot. The bath is awesome.
Love it, sell the Lance. Looks like you got new truck tires too.
What!.....nothing here in Ontario to buy!!!..Your lucky!.Thought you loved this when you reviewed it a while back. Not Surprised. Love this model. Re-sale is great!...Hell i'll buy it!
I don’t know if you guys remember me but Dave and I bought the 17.5 foot Bigfoot you guys had put on your channel in 2019. Because it was too small for our grandkids and we couldn’t find a bigger Bigfoot we bought a Lance! We had many problems with the Lance and again looked for a bigger Bigfoot-either the 21 or 25 foot. We still just kept missing out and went on to get an Arctic Fox 22g (no slides) which has worked out for us well, but still isn’t a solid molded fiberglass trailer which we really would prefer. Someday we hope to find one we can afford!!! Congratulations on the new to you Bigfoot!!! Nothing beats a Bigfoot!!!!
Nice looking camper. We still miss our northern lite. Those fiber glass campers sure are nice. Its always fun to change things up. Keeps things interesting. Nothing wrong with that. How do you know if you have the perfect set up till you try them all! Lol, hope you two are doing well!
@Uprooted Adventures we hope you guys are doing well too. Yeah, changing things up, that's us, LOL. We've always wanted a Bigfoot so we'll see how we like it. Thanks!
Fixing up a 98 Bigfoot 10.4. I am jealous! But love owning a Bigfoot.
Dang. Boy you all do change Campers. Lol. I say if you can go for it. I love this little camper. We actually traded our 40ft Class A in for a 32ft Grand Design Reflection 303rls Fifth Wheel. We realized since we are full-time RVers we can't get in State Parks being that big. But this brand new Grand Design has so so many warranty work to be done. And can't get it in to take care of everything. So we are selling it and getting a used RV with a washer and dryer. I can't stand laundromats. Lol Hopefully we can meet up out on the road sometime.
Good luck with whatever your next RV is. I'm sure it'll be nice to have a washer and dryer. Safe travels and thanks for watching!
I guess you all can’t stay away from the fiberglass RVs lol ! Can’t blame you. I love my fiberglass trailer.
Definitely fiberglass campers are very good. I own a fiberglass one ! If you only keep on truck camper ? Then you won’t have to ever raise other garbage door. Ditch the mini trailer !😁👍
The fact that it has a dry bath alone makes it great imo! Only thing I'd like to be different is an incinerator toilet so I wouldn't have to deal with a black water tank.
Holy cow! Another camper?! Lol. Glad to see you back with Bigfoot. I just bought a Bigfoot 8.2’ SB camper (new to me).
@SilverChickadee yep, LOL. We're partial to Bigfoot since our 21RB, very excited to make this one our own. Thanks for watching and congrats on your Bigfoot too!
@@RunawayRoses The 21RB is how I found your channel. I still have mine. I’ve wanted to try out a truck camper for years and this one came along when I wasn’t really looking. I almost exclusively boondock so this will let me get even more off road. I need to add solar first! I forward to seeing your upgrades/customizations.
They do make a heating element to screw in the drain plug hole in your water heater.
Hey Todd, good job as always. I would have thought the Lance was going to do you for a while...i bet you are back to ducking your head in and out the door again huh? LOL Oh well, good to see you both again on here. I am almost done with my cargo conversion. Hope you enjoy your new to you big foot. Be blessed Ron and Cindy
Hey Ron and Cindy, Sorry I'm just now getting back to you. I get busy working throughout the week and don't spend enough time going through the comments. Yeah we did like the Lance a lot but we are suckers for molded fiberglass campers. We just love them. If you have a chance to email us some photos of your cargo conversion I would love to see them. I'm sure it's been a lot of work. I hope you can get out and enjoy it real soon. Safe travels and thanks again for watching! ~ Todd
You guys sure like changing Truck campers don't you? Back to Lance or a Northern Lite next? Solar, Lifepro and composting are game changers that too many manufacturers have ignored and pretty much nobody did in 2014 as factory options. Look into it.....unless you "camp" from outlet to outlet. I'm curious what you paid ballpark for your 2014 Bigfoot. Thanks for the videos.
You change campers quicker than I change my socks 🧦 👍. Then 3 way refrigerators are ho's.
This 10'4 is probably my favorite floor plan, and the only model I would trade my 10'6 floor plan for. They took out the lower window in the door... huh. Do you miss it Todd???
Hey Bob, I read the article about you in Truck Camper magazine, very cool! I do love Bigfoot campers but no I don’t really miss it too much. It seemed tight for me and the bed was too short. Hopefully they will come out with a 80” bed model sometime. Thanks for watching!
@@RunawayRoses Grant Bilodeau, President of Bigfoot swears he will build a clamshell with a slide out. And yeah, my feet hang over too. Love your channel Todd!!!!!!!!
FYI the drawer under the oven is a warning drawer to keep your foods warm.
No headroom, if over 6'-2''-3'' you'll clobber your head unfortunate because its a nice camper.
👍👏
Nice looking camper but after having 2 slide outs I like having the extra space in my lance 992. I’d love to get a Host mammoth with 3 slide outs. Never see any for sale in Canada.
Glad to see you bought an all Fiberglass camper again. How do you fit in it Todd, do you bump your head on the door getting in? I am the same size as you and thought it would be cool to just see you walk around inside as part of Carla's tour. I'm 6' 225 lbs and as much as I like some campers I just don't fit. I like change too, gatta mix it up. 😎
Always prefer the Bigfoot to others
Good walk through. Sounds like y’all are extremely knowledgeable about truck campers. I can’t seem to find one that is worth a flip. How would be the best way for me to find a good used camper?
Love 💕 this one. What kind of trailer do you have it sitting on?
Just an old utility trailer but it's very heavy duty. Thanks for watching!
Where do you keep your VR-60 and clips. And of course your 44 mag.🤗🇺🇸
I like that and the 9.4. I’m not sure what my solo self needs for some long term travel? Did the previous owner haul it on a single rear wheel truck?
They make element that screws into the Fran hole on your water heater and that way to make it a 2 way water heater .
A type o should say the drain plug .
Question, Why do you need TWO Camper? Will you be selling the Lance? You purchased the Lance brand new. Why not buy a Bigfoot when you purchased the Lance?
Great video guys. Love the bigfoot campers and the layout of the 10.4 is fantastic. Would be curious to see the combined weight of the truck and camper when packed and ready to travel. I do like the idea of using the little trailer to move the camper around. Did you build it yourself or purchase it?
Hi Carpediem88, Thanks we love Bigfoot campers too. This is our second one we've had. I don't know for sure the truck and camper weight but my truck is probably around 9,000 lbs and the camper loaded with our stuff and water would probably be around 4,000 lbs. Plus us, our dog and a bunch of tools I travel with. Pretty heavy load all together. Our Lance 975 camper we had was about 1,000 lbs heavier. As for the trailer it's an old heavy duty trailer I got from my father. Thanks for Watching! ~ Todd
You guys are an amazing wealth of knowledge for Truck Campers, especially the way you provide the information, easy to understand and not to geek numbers intensed. I am a future newbie to this truck camper ferternity and Live in Ontario Canada. I have done a lot of research and everything I have researched points me to to the northern Lite (10.6) or Bigfoot (10.4). With the state of the world and the economics truck campers are no where to be found and it seems you might have it order one sight unseen. I have watched all of your videos and with your experience I am asking for your input on the 2 campers. I have walked thru a 2021 northern lite 10.6 wet and dry bath so I know what that's like, but my heart is saying go with Bigfoot 10.4 because of the dry bath and the galley/dinette setup with all the rear views. I assume you love the bigfoot more than the Northern Lite? Let me know if you can and if you could let me know the reasons...thanks any help would be great....
Hi Ron, Thanks for your kinds words and thanks for watching our videos. We're not experts but we've had several campers over the years and learned a lot. We just try to put out information that people may find helpful. As for a Northern Lite vs Bigfoot you really can't go wrong with either one of them they are both great campers. However after having two of each brand in my opinion the Bigfoot definitely has a superior built quality. They both have their pluses and minuses so it depends on what your looking for. If you are tall the NL might be better because it has a 80" bed vs the Bigfoot's 74" bed. As well as the interior height in the center of the camper is a few inches taller. But I'm 6' and the Bigfoot is plenty tall enough for me. There is still a few inches over my head. We have learned we much prefer a dry bath over a wet bath. Having a separate shower is so much better. You probably won't regret choosing a dry bath but you could regret getting a wet bath. Some people are okay with wet baths but to us it's worth have a slightly larger camper to get the dry bath. NL does have a 10.2 with a dry bath but it doesn't seem to be a true dry bath as much as the Bigfoot. Hope that helps and gives you something to think about. Good Luck! ~ Todd
@@RunawayRoses thank you Todd for the insights an I agree on the seperate dry bath. I am so glad you mentioned the quality as i thought NL was very good and if you say that BF is slightly better than that is good news from an owner perspective. Again as a novice and from videos from people like yourselves I made notes about the 2 and between the dry bath, black tank rinse, and the rear kitchen-dinnet with all the windows with views without personally seeing the 10.4 I felt it was my choice....keep doing what you guys do and i don't cut yourselfs short you both are experts from your own experiences...until the next question....take care Ron
Did you keep the Lance or dump the older Bigfoot?
Lots of good information. So what is your preference, Lance, Northern Lite or Bigfoot if you had to keep one for 20 years? Thanks
From here it looks like you could fit a 30lb propane tank in there or it just looks that way from here.
I love the Lance .. are you selling it? What made you buy another truck camper?
Congrats! You like the Bigfoot more than your previous Northern Lite? Why? Please do tell. They are both clamshell fiberglass type.
That's a loaded question and I hope to make a video about the Bigfoot and Northern Lite campers sometime soon. Both great campers though. Thanks for watching!
store the coffee pot in the sink in the kitchen
Thanks for the tip!
People I guess or don’t know that Bigfoot shut down in 08 I think and then came back on line when things got better. A Northern lite is a copy of a Bigfoot some of Bigfoot employees went to gather and started up Northern lite and the Northern Lite stays up with fads and styles where Bigfoot doesn’t keep up as much because if you have a great product why change. The Bigfoot has inspection covers on the bottom to get to all your pluming and other things. It came in very handy to change the lag bolts that hold the water tanks. I changed all these bolts out for stainless carriage bolts with stainless nylocker nuts so your tanks won’t pull lose from the floor a easy fix or like me a preventable fix and if you have a water it can run out the bottom and not fill up like bath tub.
Bigfoot 25C10.4 - Northern Lite 10-2LE.
Bigfiot-Northern Lite-Bigfoot Northern Lite... 😫
Great video as always. You touched on it briefly. This question is for Todd. Todd, I have been in both campers mentioned above. The Bigfoots Dry Bath is superior in every way to the N.L. 102-LE. (actually this new dry bath looks so out of place compaired to the rest of the camper as it is quit nice.) So, I was leaning Bigfoot for that regard. BUT, the Bigfoots Queen bed is a joke. Northern Lite is a full queen. I am 6'2" and when I laid on the Bigfoot, I had to lay at a complete angle to get in there, and even then, the nose cone comes down so low, my head was jammed against it. (Finally getting to ask the question)
Do you see the Bigfoot short Queen ending up being a comfort issue for you over time?
If Bigfoot would resign their mold and extend their overhang 12" where you could have a full queen, they would have the perfect clamshell, non-slide, 4 season truck camper.
If Northern Lite bit the bullet and did a redesign of their brand new redesigned mold and incorporated Bigfoots Dry bath, they would have the nicest clamshell, non-slide, 4 season truck camper.
Hi Scott, I agree the 74" bed in the Bigfoot is a real bummer. I wish they would go with a standard 80" bed like in our Lance and Norther Lite. I am 6' so as long as I put my head towards the top it isn't too bad. I barely fit and I'm sure I'll get use to it but to be honest I would think anybody over 6' would not like it. I knew that before we got it but figured I'd give it a shot because we do love Bigfoot campers in general. Maybe one day they will make a new mold. Thanks for watching! ~ Todd
Is it sold in the states? We’re? Nice camper
I'm curious what your rate of return and profit is on all of these camper flips. It has to be awesome or you would not bother.
No slides? I believe you now have a newer camper?
Did you mention storage?
Tell me about the dolly you move it around on when at home. Custom made or available somewhere? Thanks.
Do you think Bigfoot is going to be your top pick of Truck Campers?? There aren't many truck camping people out there, so solid information is scarce.
Hi Matthew McCaskey, We do love Bigfoot campers and will probably stick with Bigfoot for some time. I'm sure we'll put more info out there about them as well as other truck camper stuff. Thanks for watching!
I drove 1000 miles to get a 05 10.6 Bigfoot and my dullay was white and a 05 5.9 cummins and when we got home and found out the rear happy jacks pull out so I have to fix that. Should of put a red flag when he had duck tape on Roof top ac cover had duck tape on it and the front happy Jack a C clip fell of and yes he put duck tape to hold it in, and he did not wash or waxed. There were red flags every where but I wanted the 05 Bigfoot and it was my dream camper and after we got home I relished he was a cheap ass and should of walked away but I didn’t do I got what I got and Iam a handy man and can fix about anything. I already bought a 30 cent C lip and pulled all the duck tape off and got a new AC cover from Amazon for 90 bucks dealer wanted 200 bucks . So the Gen set starts and stops but I know what it is just have to do it and the sell told me he just changed the oil in Gen set with sinthic oil and that was a joke it had not been changed and I put my exhaust for the Gen set all the way up to be above the roof to get the noise above us and not on the ground and sounds pretty good may have to put extra muffler on it. But all and all I love it. I have already put 2 100 watt Battleborn batteries and a Renorgy dc to dc charger and changed out Elvis box to charge the batteries and I put a switch on my dash for dc to dc charger that way I can wait till my truck batteries and the flip switch with a light to remind me to turn it off.
Hi Brent, was that one in Alabama? Just wondering because we looked at one there and I believe it was an 05 10.6. It was in really rough shape so we didn't get it.
Hi Brent, sorry to hear your camper turned out to be in rougher shape than you originally thought. It’s a good thing you’re a handy guy. You’ll get it fixed up just how you want it. We’ve also ran into some sellers that just aren’t honest. I hope you really enjoy it once you get it fixed up. Thanks for watching! Todd
I am looking to get my first truck camper and would like to know your thoughts and recommendations re a Bigfoot vs. Northern Lite vs Lance. Am thinking of either Bigfoot 10-4, Northern Lite 10-2 or Lance 975. Your experience, comments & suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm looking at setting up a F550 truck and camper much like you guys appear to currently have. I've been marathon watching your other videos and have a few concerns about my potential set up and have a few questions if that's ok?😄 Thanks in advance.
- You didn't have this camper long, is there an issue I should be looking for in used Fiberglass campers or why did you sell it so soon.
- What's been your favorite and/or highest quality camper so far? I liked the warmer feeling interior of the Northern Lite but I want a real separate shower like the Bigfoot has.
- I'm also going to be towing a trailer with a 10.4 Bigfoot, can I get away with a 24 inch SuperTruss hitch extension (with a 1400 lb weight distributed tongue load rating) ? I need to have as much tongue weight capacity as possible for a heavily loaded trailer.
- Why did you go with a 4500 and not a 5500? Doesn't a 4500 actually have less payload than a 3500? It does on the Ford Superdutys.
-You can't sleep 4 adults in the BF? Did you ever get a chance to measure the dinette?
Thanks again.
Jesse
The Dodge 4500 has a higher weight rating than the 3500.Northern light Big foot are great campers but Northern Light is the best no slides & warmest best construction.
Why a big foot over the lance or northern lite ?
Just be very wary of the black glass oven front. In late May on the return trip from Balsam Mt campground off the Blue Ridge Parkway, myself and my travel buddy and his wife stopped at Ingles in Clayton, GA (up in the NE corner of the state) and got Chic Fil A from across the street. We ate in my trailer since I had the generator and A/C. Everything was fine. When I got home and opened the door, I found the black glass oven front (purely decorative) had shattered (it is tempered) and I keep a Harbor Freight moving quilt on the floor, so 90% of it went on the quilt. I just gathered it up and put it in the trash. I replaced the door with a Black Painted all metal door, so no more concerns there. And yes, I fixed the generator so it now starts on about the second turn of the motor, even at over 5000 ft elevation. See my YT channel for the video on that.
Thanks for the heads up on the oven Charles. Good job on fixing a generator I saw your video. We hope you're doing well and enjoying the trailer. Safe travels. Todd
With which truck?
What is the dry weight ?
I'm tempted to switch to Bigfoot and selling my northern lite. I like the prospect of more insulation, of which they have .5" more insulation, correct?
Hey Down by the river, I've enjoyed watching your videos, keep up the good work. As for your question yes I believe that is correct on the Bigfoot having an extra .5" of insulation. That is on their 2500 series campers. The 1500 series campers have 1" insulation I think. I love both the NL and Bigfoot campers but after having 2 NL's and 3 Bigfoot's in my opinion the Bigfoot seem to have a superior quality of construction. But they both are great campers and have their pluses and minuses. Safe Travels ~ Todd
@@RunawayRoses thanks todd I appreciate the compliments on my videos! Yours are great too. Really enjoy how many of them are incredibly informative.
Hi guys, for a 2 years trip from Alaska to Patagonia, which camper do you think is better for my wife and I? Northern Lite; Northwood or Bigfoot? And which truck?
I don’t know which one is better for you. Try to personally go in each one and see what feels right. Safe travels and thanks for watching!
Have a 2008 9.6 can you send me info on the TV mount? Don't want to drill into my fridge. Did you install your mount? Thanks
We don’t have that camper any more and we didn’t install the tv mount. Sorry we can’t help. Thanks for watching!
What kind of new tires did you put on your truck
Toyo Open Country AT3's, thanks for watching!
I have a 2006 Bigfoot 10.6, and have a question/favor to ask. I want to put a privacy curtain in mine, but need to know the length of screw to use. Could you look at one of yours and find out the length used from the factory? I am desperate. Contacted the factory but they didn’t respond.
The insulation is 1.5 inches thick so you will need a shorter screw because you don’t want it to go all the way through. Something around 3/4” to an inch. A fairly short screw should work fine. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Bigfoots are great campers but those interior colors need some work!
Wait what, didn't you just buy a brand new Lance 1172?
We had a Lance 975. Thanks for watching!
