Please Help 03, Bigfoot 25B25RQ
Good morning guys and gals.
So to start off, I am sorry if this has been asked else where but I have spent 2 days reading and can not find the amswer. I also downloaded the owners manual and brouchere and nothing.
I am in the market for a 25B25RQ and I found one for 14kUSD (2003) . I will be viewing it soon. The seller has indicated that it does have a current leak that slightly stained the carpet in the rear. Leak is "coming" from a window seal not sealed properly.
He inherited the trailer and just wants to sell.
Here are my questions for you savy RV'ers.
1. Even if the trailer APPEARS to look good after i inspect it. Would you still stay away from it due to the known leak?
2. In 03 did bigfoot still use wood as the subfloor? A dealer i called claims they switch to aluminum but does not recall in what year.
3. I have heard that once water gets in these clam shell trailers, the water has no where to go and will just sit in the under belly and continue to rot the subfloor until it is softer then mash potatoes.
4. How can i get to that portion of the trailer to check for sitting water/rot?
Thank you in advance SO much!!
