Maintenance & Restoration

Tomorrow my family and I are heading to the coast to visit a Bigfoot
dealer that has the 17' model travel trailer in stock. We are really
excited to finally see a family molded fiberglass RV.

Out next quest will be to look at a fiberglass sided RV (like a Nash).
Does anyone here have any experience with this type of trailer?

I know it probably does not qualify for this forum but does is their
any disadvantage to this type of trailer?

Thanks for the wisdom.

- Joe

I've never heard anything good about Nash/Terry trailers.

Hi
My understanding is that wood frame unit covered with fiberglass siding is not good.Reason as I was told by a RV Teck is that it holds moisture in and wood rot can get abetter hold.
Keep in mind I was told this and have not seen it for myself.

Good Luck Joe!

Here's a recent picture of Bigfoot. I took the pix near a campground in Idaho a couple of years ago.

Charles if you don't mind me saying so, the picture looks strikingly similar to the author's avtar. Could this be a self portrait or did Pam take the picture?
Ha!

>>strikingly similar

You caught me Mike! It's actually a picture of my Aunt Yeti ... so there's a familial resemblance. You got a good eye!

Joe ... take a camera and take some pictures of the rig for sale, ok?

And if the place has a 25 RQ Bigfoot, take lots of pictures of it!

Good luck!

For our likes the 25 is too big, but would like the see what the 21 footer looks like inside.

here's some pics I took of our unit last August:

(That reminds me - I need to update my webshots.)
