I saw this today at Ebay. Interesting concept, I wonder what the wieght is on this. 2006 BIGFOOT 25ft Deluxe Travel Trailer | eBay

No info on add.

Woops, I read that its 6170# dry. My tucson would have a stroke pulling that!

Weighs more than my 1999 Silverado.

That would feel like pulling a neutron star behind my subaru, but it sure is a nice looking trailer! Definitely out of my fuel budget range.

It's a non molded bigfoot, they did make those in addition to the molded one we love.

Sticky by any other name... still has seams.

Weighs twice as much as our 31 ft Kodiak.

Rgrugg, you have a 31 foot trailer that only weighs in at 3100#? The 19' Escape is 2500# dry, which I consider a very light trailer, but it's far from a 31 footer. I looked on the Kodiak web site and they only have a 29' with slide outs and it's 5800#. Yours must not have any slideouts.

On the Dutchmen website, the Kodiak 263RLSL which is 30'9" weighs 5674 lbs. empty.

It is a sticky ... and a big one at that!

There was a "just for fun" thread on this forum asking what design changes we'd wish for our trailer to make it perfect. I'd wish for a [fiberglass trailer] slide out! A slide out would let me convert my gaucho couch into a queen size bed. My hubby could sleep with me and there would be plenty of isle room to walk around the trailer with the couch made into a bed. I already have a privacy curtain for the couch. The curtain would hide the couch/bed so that the cabin would look "clean" during the day.

Of course, new fiberglass, manufacturing methods and technology would keep the weight when fully loaded way far down.

Just a thought ...

My mind was in a dither, I guess. The 2500# is HALF of our Kodiak. It 31 ft has one slide and weighs 5000# dry out of the factory. Our additions have increased that. Probably7 weighs in the neighborhood of 6000# ready for the road.
