Hi All! New Bigfoot owner needing help here!

Hi all!
I recently purchased an early 80’s Bigfoot B-16 trailer, and it is in need of a tremendous amount of work! The roof vent has been broken for a couple years, and the whole ceiling is toast, as well as the floor, and at least the front wall.
I’m located in Calgary, AB. Has anyone had experience rebuilding one of these units?
I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed, not sure if I can do all the work! Luckily I have a large garage, so it’s parked inside, not getting worse outside!
I look forward to learning from y’all!!
Cheers
Dan

Hi All! New Bigfoot owner needing help here

Wow sounds like you have a real job on your hands. Sounds like to me it is a total rebuild inside. I think the best is to just start taking things apart. Once you have things removed you will have a fiberglass shell. Who knows where water has gone and mould is growing. If you search on this website there is a total rebuild of a 1979 17ft like yours. I think thread will give you lots of help. Here is the Thread. I hope it comes up if not just search it. Good luck and keep us up to date with all your projects with pics.17 ft '79 bigfoot - restoration/modification thread.
