Interesting. We've heard of Bigfoot, of course. And Bigfoot 5th wheels, both single and dual axles. But, I've never heard of a Oakland 26' 5th wheel trailer, made by Bigfoot.
Do you have any pictures to share? That may help us, help you.

Dell & Lesley, you may find help at a different forum that's better suited for your trailer's build type. I suggest a sister site to FiberglassRV.

Good luck.

Look at Boci.com. There’s lots of info there. That’s Bigfoot owners club international. You may want to join.

Oakland 5th wheel by Bigfoot
Yes you have a very rare Oakland/Bigfoot. They were made originally in Vernon at Vernon Leisure Works. The owner started this company when he was the original owner a partner in Bigfoot. He left Bigfoot and started this company. This is where all of the Oaklands Started. First motorhomes and truck campers and than the fifth wheels. But in the late 80,s he went back to take over Bigfoot again, and he took his newest invention with him The Fibercore wall system. They made 24 and 27 and 29 ft motorhomes and also the big fifth wheels. The biggest fifth wheel 30 ft was called the Penthouse. So in 1991 till 1999 the Bigfoot and Oaklands were made all by Bigfoot. As I have a owners manual from 1998 that says Bigfoot, Oakland, Columbia River. In 1999 the Oakland line was dropped and everything was now called Bigfoot. Except there were no more fifth wheels being made. If you go to the BOCI website they have a manual of a 26ft Fifth wheel and a brochure from 1995. Pics are of an Oakland truck camper, a fifth wheel, a 22ft motorhome and a 29ft motorhome.

BOCI gives you a complimentary membership initially for new owners. Your camper looks nice. The living room reminds me of our living room on our Bigfoot Silver Cloud, before the RV place we bought it from stole one of the 2 chairs.

So I am guessing the 29ft Travehome 5th Wheeler is now the biggest composite( no wood, mainly fibreglass) globally?
