Our New Baby..............

Wayne (the OP),
We almost bought a used 2003-2004 24' Bigfoot Class C years ago when shopping. FWIW, here's what stood out in our Bigfoot search:
- Back then the Bigfoot shower ceiling, and the coach ceiling height in general, was too low for my height. I understand that later-on Bigfoot ceilings, overall, may have been raised.
- The Bigfoot freshwater tank was the largest in a non-expedition Class C. Now, LazyDaze have about the same size freshwater tank (around 60 gallons).
- The Bigfoot Class C we looked at was of a full-blown "basement design", with tall and hence spacious outside cabinets. The downside is a huge step-up/down height difference between the cab floor and the coach floor.
- My DW was very leary of double-pain windows in a moving structure, as most of out home's double-pain windows in their sliding (moving) door sections have failed and leaked contaminates into the internal space so as to become stained and ugly looking and they now all have to be replaced. Replacement of RV double pain windows is VERY expensive, as you probably have checked into.
What we wound up can no longer be found in a 24 footer either (just like Bigfoot Class Cs are no longer available) -> single piece heavily crowned fiberglass roof, a generous fresh capacity, heated black/grey tanks, pretty good insulation, very large propane tank capacity, but ... single pain windows.
By the way, your Bigfoot DOES NOT have a forward facing cabover window ... that is GOOD! Ours was broken on a trip once by a flying rock and it was a real nightmare and long story getting it fixed properly so as to not leak.
Enjoy your very rare rig!
