Very good condition! Brand new awning was just replaced 2 weeks ago before listing for sale.
Will Include the Anderson Weight Distribution Hitch system with Anti Sway. Very Nice System
Electric Jack 2 propane tanks. good battery
Vizio LCD TV mounted to the side of the dinette, also there is a shelf that will hold a dvd or blu ray player.
Kenwood cd/ dvd system
Maxx Fan remote control with thermostat and automatic vent lid open and close
Gaucho Bed slides to make a large sleeping area. Dinette sits 4 and of course makes a bed also. There is a folding wood door that allows you to access the bathroom with the Gaucho all the way open. This is very nice! The factory door is also included..
LOTS of storage, lovely wood cabinets as in all bigfoots.. There has been a cabinet added inside the door for extra storage, it can be removed without hurting anything but we loved it.

We are ONLY selling because we are moving up to a 25' Bigfoot. There are no known issues with this camper. We have had no problems. The only thing I can say is the sticker on the front window shield has wear on it. The others are much nicer I have pictures of all of them.

I have a ton of pictures, I dont know how many I can add here, please message me with any questions at all.. thank you

Located 2 hours south of St Louis, 2 hours North of Memphis..

Looks really nice! Wish I was in the market. I didn't realize they managed to fit a full size fridge into the later Gaucho models. That gives me some ideas...

[jcwill]

Zach, I can't imagine not having the full size fridge.. so nice

Mark,
I messaged you, we are here if you want to see it.

John: check the title i remember it as a 2005, if anyone wants to know about all the upgrades they can contact me. We hope you have enjoyed it since you bought it from us. If you are getting a 25 foot, you will need a 3/4 ton vehicle to pull it a 25 weighs about 6500 empty.

You are absolutely right. I am correcting it now.

Does this have an air conditioner? I see something on the roof, but maybe it's just the fridge vent....

[jcwill]

It has A/C. Everything works well and it is ready to camp.

Can’t read the weight. I have a 6 cyl Dodge Dakota.

[rockerpeople]

Can’t readthe weight. Would a 6cyl Dodge Dakota pull it okay?

[jcwill]

I don't know. You have to look up what your truck is rated to pull.

We towed with a Ford F150 pickup. It had a 302 v8 with 3.08 gear ratio. That is about as high a gearing as you can get on that truck. It was supposed to get great mileage while still providing some hauling abilities. The F150 pulled the Bigfoot like a champ on the hills of southern Missouri.

I did pull a stick built 32 foot one time with the same truck and it couldn't keep 45 mph on moderate hills. It was on an interstate and I took runs at the hills but it lost speed and wouldn't do 45 if the hill was at all moderate.
According to Bigfoot the base dry weight is 3179 pounds. I would assume 4500 loaded though to be safe. Our Ford was rated at 5000 pounds and pulled the Bigfoot with ease.

The 32 foot I spoke about was supposed to be 4800 pounds according to the specs but it was like pulling lead on sandpaper. I am sure it was too heavy for the truck. Someone must have been fibbing on that weight.

Our 2017 25RQ weighs 4700 dry. Pull with a Tundra 5.7l. 11-12 mpg fully loaded

[jcwill]

Do you know what gearing you have on your tundra? We want a 25rq to replace this 17.5. I want to be sure my next tow vehicle is adequate.

[Nvboatman]

My Tundra is a 2018 with a tow package that has 4.300 rear axle ratio. It pulled our Bigfoot up mountain passes of Idaho and Montana without protesting��

[jcwill]

Thank you.

yep, that's a new one (for me anyways)....it looks like they traded kitchen counter space for a big fridge....not a bad trade I guess....


I suspect that the real drawback/complaint about the smaller fridge is that it is sitting on the floor.....


I have a big fridge (in a CB model)...and if it was half the size it would be plenty of room for storing food (for me)....I certainly would want it off the floor though....like sitting at counter height...with storage/drawers underneath

[Franswa]

a 2500 series (and this trailer certainly is if you look at the lower belly band) weighs 8-900 lbs more than a 1500 series...IIRC


I tow a 1500 with Nitro 3.7 V6....I would not want to tow more weight with it. The Dakota might tow it "on paper".... "on paper" means getting too close to your actual tow rating... a.k.a. "no hills" YMMV
