Anyone here with a Bigfoot TC?
I recently put a deposit on a 2006 Bigfoot 25c10.6. Tell me what you like and don't about your Bigfoot. Any mods needed to make it dry camp worthy? I am loving the large tanks.

The BF 10.4 was the one I most had my eye on. It’s a great camper for sure and I was gonna buy one, but the newer model NL 10.2 - which is actually over 11’ - has many compelling advantages.
Its roomier. It has more headrrom, the bed is a full queen, the layout is more “open concept” and even the dinette is bigger and makes an over-6’ bed that can actually be used.
The generator compartment is built to hold two Honda EU2000/2200 generators or similar.
This is subjective, but I think the interior is a lot better looking.
The Northern Lite’s got a bigger grey water tank, 40 gallons vs 32 on BF. BF has slightly larger fresh tank, 39 gallons to NL’s 36.
The BF has a slightly larger black tank, 21 vs. 18. That noticeably-larger gray tank appealed to me because that’s the tank I usually hit the limits on.
I like the windows with the built in shades, and the rear bumper with the big wide staircase makes it really nice to get in and out.
The generator compartment alone, I think they had me at that. I was really tired of carrying them inside my camper.
The BF has a bigger furnace but I don’t see the point in that, the one in the NL is capable of cooking me out of the thing. The BF has thicker insulation but that hasn’t made any difference either, I haven’t been cold in mine.
The NL is lighter.
NL got the advantage when their factory burned down. They got to rebuild and make new molds which gave the opportunity to improve them, which BF can’t afford to do to keep up. BF needs good insurance and a meteor to land on their building.
I like the BF 10.4 a lot. It’s awesome. But I like the NL even more.
