Hey Rob, congrats on the new rig and the new channel! If you remember my story, you know It's been a long time coming, but a year and a half latter, I finally purchased my first RV about a week ago. Its a 2021 Grand Design Imagine XLS 17MKE . It's prewired for solar and I want to add about 800+ watts and switch over to Lithium and a 12volt or residential fridge. Unfortunately, I don't know much about solar installation, I will definitely check out your new business. Let me know when! Thanks buddy!
Yes, I agree. At some point, as a larger project, I may look at flipping the axles. That'd be a job I'd pay a trailer shop to handle. It'd be a bit outside my wheelhouse. But for the time being will remain cautious abd mindful of the terrain we traverse.
Thanks. We own a MM FLX and have been looking at Bigfoot. We followed you to your new channel. 8’ wide, we enjoy the thinner profile on our MM w/ standard 1/2 ton truck mirrors. Are you going to but wider mirrors on your tow vehicle?
Congratulations on your new 25RQ! Beautiful Rig! We are now on our fourth Bigfoot because we love them so much. One thing I wanted to mention to you is you may want to get these spare parts for your toilet to have on hand because you may need them sometime. They are known for developing a leaking flush valve and the foot flush cable can break. Recommend not pushing the foot flush all the way to the floor. And of course, it never breaks at a good time. We have friend that change them once a year just as insurance. We've had our flush valve leak in our prior 2020 Bigfoot 10.4. Same toilet just shorter. These are the part numbers I ordered from Amazon just to have on hand just in case, you may want to consider doing the same. Not trying to scare you just giving you a heads up. Never hurts to have spare parts. Enjoy the Bigfoot and safe Travels! Thetford #34106, #34122, #34100
Could you share the upgrades you made to your Tundra? We have a 2011 Tundra with the 5.7L engine and want to get a feel for how well it handles the Bigfoot and if we need to make any mods. Thanks
I doubt it. I had a 2004 Sequoia with that drive train. I don't think I'd do it. I have a 2013 Tundra with the 5.7 V8. I've upgraded the rear suspension significantly and it handles this trailer beautifully. I would not pull anything bigger or heavier with my set up. I feel, for me, and my comfort, they are a great match. But again, I don't think I'd try it with the 4.7 engine/transmission combo...bullet proof as it is..

@brianreichart9054 outstanding! I'll be ready to begin installs in a few weeks! Very happy for you Brian!
Nice unit and tour. Only obvious difference is lower ground clearance. Look fwd to more episodes.

For such a good brand, it is a wonder the frame is already showing rust.
The rust on the underside isn't significant from what I can see.
Awesome! Can’t wait. As a fellow Bigfoot owner (2023 25B25RQ Twin Bed) I so many suggestions for content.
Thanks for watching!

@@jeffhohensee570 I do plan to do so before we leave this stopover in Texas, yes. I took note when pulling the first time that we need a wider view.
Looks like a great rig. Enjoy.
Thanks Roy. We are enjoying it.

Yes. I am making a video to go over that very topic. Should release in about 3 weeks.
Could an older Tundra pull that? Need a big truck? Very nice trailer.
