86 Bigfoot 5th wheel Rebuild photo link

Hello everyone,
Well I finally got some photo files competed on the restoration of our '86 Bigfoot 5th wheel, all photos have captions describing what is in the picture. I did ok documenting the rebuild until this winter, pretty much just got it done so we could go camping this spring. Still you will get an idea of what it looked like, and how it has turned out. Still have some cosmetic things to do to the outside, graphics, and polish mostly.
Enjoy the link, and feel free to ask any questions.

I really like that particular interior layout, and most of all, the big rear windows; of all the Bigoot 5th wheel interiors, this one is the best. Gorgeous reno, you can see your nautical background. Great work, you'll enjoy it for years to come.

It is handy to have left overs from boat projects, there is some real pretty old red cedar in places, some white oak,basswood, and some Honduras mahogany that must have been 15 yrs old. I bet I have the only Bigfoot with a "suicide door", had to replace the origional, and found this one the right size, but opens from the right. I actually like it now, and with a good dead bolt lock I am comfortble with it.

Hi Tom, that looks beautiful! You want to come do the one sitting in my driveway?

It looks to be in slightly better shape... maybe.

When we tear into it I'm sure I will be asking you for advice!

Nope Tom, it keeps asking me to log in. And YES, I have a hotmail (MSN) account. I'm just choosing to not let that site track me. Weird huh? It's almost like it would be BETTER to not have an account. Maybe I should log out of my account and see what happens...

Thanks for the nice comments, the real test will be after camping for extended periods with it. we are planning two to six week ventures south and east, and expect the camper to be a work in progress. I am sure there are more modifications in the future. My wife would like more counter space already.
Donna, sorry you haven't been able to open the photo files, I think you are onto the problem, try copying the link, then with a fresh browser page open, paste the link in the address bar at the top and hit enter. (while signed out of all accounts)
If that does not work then I can make a album here of some of the completed photos. The files at the link take you thru the process a bit, with captions.

A new album

Donna, and others,
I just made a new album with 17 photos here on FiberglassRV.com of the Bigfoot rebuild, I'll add more when I get the outside cleaned up with new graffics. Has anyone found a good place to buy replacement Bigoot decals?

Thanks for creating the album Tom. I'll go check it out. Other than Bigfoot for decals, have you tried this place?

Bigfoot Decals

Thanks Donna,
That site looks like they have the main decal. I am in hopes of finding a source for the Bigfoot spelled name, and possibly the striping that is on our Bigfoot. I know I will probably just end up making the basic stripping, but you never know what is out there.

You're welcome Tom. The problem I've seen with the Bigfoot name... is it seemed to change looks and fonts almost every single year. Can you post a close up of your particular need? I may have a solution. As far as the striping, it's not unique to Bigfoot. Just about any sign shop should be able to give you vinyl stripes and about any size or color you want. Changing all the colors to match your tug color is an opportunity to be one-of-one.
