I just missed out on the TC that I was planning on bringing home. They sold it for less than my offer for some reason and I'm a little bummed, but just going to start the search again. Last time I found the model I wanted, I went through CL, ebay, and all the camper dealer web sites one at a time to find something within a few hundred miles. It was a pain! I know rvtrader lists some, but is there a better site to search? I can do it the same way again, but it's a lot of work that I'd rather avoid.FWIW, I'm looking for a 9.5' 1500 series Bigfoot or Northern Lite that's not ancient (2006'ish or newer). Any leads would be great.

Well, I see part of the problem. You are searching for a camper that doesn't come up for sale very often. Very sought after. Plus, there are not many of them out there to begin with compared to their bigger models. You may have to expand your search area and consider traveling quite far to get the one you like. I had to drive 700 miles one way to get mine a couple years ago. I've watched pretty carefully and haven't seen one that compares to mine for sale since. Keep it up, one will pop up but jump on in quick when it does. You mention 9.5 foot, so you're looking for the long box version campers?

Try searchtempest.com, it will combine ebay and CL.

I've heard/read that they are rare, but in the last 4 months I've looked at 3 bigfoot 15c9.5fs and one northern lite classic (east-west queen bed with 4" basement). 3 of these were within 20 miles and the 3rd within 150. Perhaps that was the problem though. I knew they were considered rare but lots seem to have shown up recently so I wasn't worried about supply.I found a few more in BC, but they are a long drive and very old. I'll have to be patient I guess.

The one you missed out on, was that the one in Spokane?
