Bigfoot 11.5 - take #2
So here goes my second time of owning a Bigfoot 11.5 - We needed an off road capable RV with modern comforts that can haul a 18' trailer with 2 SxS's and do so on a budget. We started with a Work &...

After a bunch of trips and nights in it we have some updates issues to sort out:
Good:
Plenty of off hiway miles, smacked branches, ruts, washboard. - and it has not moved a bit on the flatbed. It is cool in the sun, and AC cools it off fast. No water leaks! Cool / warm / dry, comfy. So far one of the best Multi use RV's we have owned. Won't win any prizes at the camper show, but gets the job done.
Mpg with the old V3500 of of 7-9 even while pulling 2 SxS on a 18' trailer.
Issues:
1- the floor of the overhead (under the mattres) is sagging - 400# of me, wife and 2 spoiled Aussie dogs- like sleeping in a ditch. Cannot find any broken wood. Any suggestions?
2- the roof is sagging by the AC - it's down a few inches. Not enough to limit walking access, but also needs addressed. Have no found any info here, but have read of issues with Bigfoot trailers. Again, no broken fiberglass, but guess foam is delaminating from glass. It was sagging when I bought it, so off road travel was not the cause. Any fixes other than glassing some ribs onto the exterior of the roof?
