I am surprised how little BigFoot owners participate in this topic.
When price looks high to me as well, the market changes and I assume OP did his research.
In my years of RVing I restored several different RV and all restoration were great success. But for all projects I was seeking solid base.
So it was Airstream, Prevost, Barth. All RV with solid frame and regardless 30 or 50 years of age - they generated lot of pleasure for me and later buyers.
When I never owned BF, the fiberglass shell is solid base for restoration. Long way from "toothpicks frame with skinny plywood slapped over to hold it" lot of other constructions present.
OP good luck with this or other purchase.
The only time I've ever been in a fiberglass shell camper was a northern lite and it was well built and beautiful. I agree with all you said because I too do my own work and am in the middle of rebuilding "so to speak" my lance 1181. It is also a hell of built machine. When members say that wood is present in the frame what does that mean? Is it so they have something to attach the inside walls and ceiling to? Or do they actually incorporate the wood in the pour of the mold. I'm asking because I don't know. Realizing they aren't going to drill holes in the shell...
Thanks, Joe
