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.

Oh it's WAY good enough. Too good. It runs for only a few minutes, the temp overshoots the thermostat by 10 degrees by the time it catches up. I wanted something that would run longer (circulate more air to the bed & bath to prevent condensation) and ramp the temp up more slowly so the thermostat could keep up.
The dual speed runs at two outputs, 16,000 and 25,000 btu if I recall. It fits in the same hole, swap in replacement except you have to also change the thermostat. The thermostat has a couple of modes, low, high and automatic. On automatic, it will run in high until within 3 degrees of the setpoint, then switch to low. Usually I run it on low, but sometimes automatic if I come in really cold and want quicker warmup.
16,000 is plenty for the BF10.4 (I do have the winter option) in any weather we've been in. Lowest about 10 degrees. Up in AK at -40 maybe you need more, but I'm quite sure 25K would be plenty. An additional benefit is on low speed it is quieter and draws a little less power.
