Trailer: 1980 Bigfoot 17 ft
Posts: 23
Has anyone found somewhere to order an RV cover for a 17' Bigfoot. I ordered the smallest "RV Cover" and it was still huge. Does any company manufacture covers for our little fiberglass treasures??? Thanks

We got a cover from Cover Giant made specifically for the 16-17' Casita. They had two - one for sun and one for rain. I amin objective was too protect the finish from sap and needles from the fir trees. Cost was less that $200 delivered.

The quality seems good but we do have some damage in less than a year. Part of is was from an ice dan that formed behind the gutter last winter. Duct tape will extend the life for a few years.

I do not know whether they have one for the Bigfoot or if the Casita one would work (it is norrower) but at least that gives you a place to start.

Don't know the measurements of your Bigfoot... or if you have roof A/C, etc. but anything with "RV" in the title is typically higher priced. It's been said, that a horse trailer cover works well. In this case, get your measurements and let Google be your friend.

I agree with Donna..... The following link is for van covers and i use the "Tyvek V2" on a 16' 1994 Casita SD and it is better than five years old...... look at the measurement in the tyvek section for one that will fit yours or try a different material.

Seeing as how our Trillium will now be outside 24/7 ...and NOT wanting to take risks with a 'painted' trailer, I'm working on a deal right now with California Car Cover for one of their 'deluxe' covers ($65/ft!!) with zippered doorway 8 grommets at the bottom plus an elasticized bottom hem. Pricey yes, but I hope it'll be worth it. They need as many dimensions as I can get to them. More acurate the dimensions, the better the fit.

The folks at California Car Cover had no clue WHAT a Trillium trailer was. Didn't seem to make any difference if I threw names like Scamp, Echo, Burro at them either.

I see you live in Vancouver, I would take the measurements of your trailer
and go to Escape Trailers in Chilliwack and see Reace as he has a awsome
cover availible for his 17' trailers and it would probably fit the Bigfoot.

Hi Doug

We purchased our Casita cover from California Car Cover. Great to work with.. and a great cover. We would highly recommend that you do get the zippered door... it's really great to have for easy entrance.
