1996 Bigfoot

Thanks for all the info! If I end up getting it this week I'll make sure and post in the picture thread.

I have a 1997 brochure it says that all versions of the 9.5 1500 series (except one I will mention later) are the same.

Fresh water: 32 US gals
Black water: 17 US gals.
Grey water: 13 gals.

The one exception is the model with the side dinette and a queen bed that is East west or in other words placed sideways in the cabover. It has a 13 us gal. black water tank.

Here is the BF industries specs and pictures for all the 2000 year BF's. Scroll down to the 1500's. They made little changes to these series campers.

OOP's I see that you already did that.... The specs are going to be very close to the same. They made little changes during those years.

I would not hesitate purchasing a BF if the price is right and if there are not side bulges and making sure that the roof is in good shape. Check for discoloration of the ceiling inside cause by vent leaking. Check inside the bottom cabinets for any water damage of the floor. Walk heavily on the floor checking for any weak spots. Open the outside accesses an look for water damage especially at the rear!

Other than that you might have to do some upgrades to the converter/charger if that has not already been done.

Good luck and PM me if you have any questions.

IMHO, I would not let a couple gallons of tank capacity one way or the other sway your decision on an older camper like that if it's otherwise in good shape, and the deal is right.

Center of gravity will be within the range of your truck. Again I would not worry about it if the deal is right.

The 1500 is a non-basement, and is not as tall. It has thinner insulation than the 2500.
