Lmao 🤣

Absolutely 👍, thank you

Thank you for letting us know abou those bed risers! we had no idea but knew they where way cheaper than the official rv blocks and for stabilizers they work well. That could be an option and we will restore the front and rear decal since they are the most damaged.

Thank you 😊

Lol 😂 I know what you mean, I find myself using the plier wrench for everything now and didn’t want to get the socket set

Thank you for the kind words ☺️. So since part of our style is off grid camping, we are updating the electrical system with new lithium power bank, inverter, and solar panels. It allows us to not be limited of the luxuries of power to just the RV hook up sites. We took it camping and already are excited more than ever. We are currently installing all that. 💪

Glad you are here! 😊

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊. Stay tuned since that is coming up. We doing full off grid capability to the electrical system with lithium battery bank, inverter and solar panels. The batteries are from Litime

Thanks for the reply We have the same trailer which we have spent two years bringing her back to life with your help! Next step new converter ; inverter & solar! You first --Thank you @@b19sleeper9

I have a similar Bigfoot. Did you find replacement window seal?

Thank you 😊

That's so cool! We are glad you are tuning in. So we just released another video on our updates on the trailer today and took it out camping, and we are actually in the process right now for the the next video of upgrading the entire electrical system to go off grid with a 400Ah lithium power bank, solar panels and all Victron devices. We'll show what that entails!

So I had success refurbishing the decals on our previous BF truck camper via painting them actually and they came our looking original. Our side decals are good but our rear and front camper decals are in rough shaping too. I can do a video on making them look like new again after our electrical upgrade.

@@b19sleeper9that would be great.

Thanks! We currently have segments of the how-to process and materials in this video in previous videos as well.

Thank you!

Thank you! Do it it, you should lol 😂, we just release a video today of the updates and its looking mint now.

Thanks! So the original ridge was a 3-way fridge and it leak ammonia and the one we installed is a modern 12-volt fridge. We wanted the bigger storage volume and since we are upgrading our electrical system with a lithium power bank/solar panels, we can make the switch.

So we only had to remove one drawer for the fridge retrofit but all others we kept the same for now. The rest of the drawers in the camper currently have friction rails and maybe in the future we can upgrade all the others to have ball bearing soft close sliders.

That’s awesome! So we have a full window refurbishment video on the channel with all the product links used to transform them. Mostly used Rust oleum products, Sunview Industries gaskets, and architectural window one way film for that mirrored look!

@@b19sleeper9 thank you for responding! I think I found it just after I sent you that. I ended up leaving the windows alone… Didn’t want to mess with them since the previous owners purchased it in the fall of 2018, they took it to an RV dealership where they worked on it all winter. New vents, all appliances serviced, windows resealed and new gel coat and decals etc. The husband passed away soon after, so they didn’t even get to use it much. I’m so impressed with how well it was looked after. I watched every UA-cam video I could find on ideas of how to update it and freshen it, dues, and don’ts, what works and what doesn’t. I almost didn’t paint it because it was like new inside. The only thing they changed was the flooring. I believe the ceiling was replaced because it looks brand new. Whoever worked on it did an immaculate job. My brother called the dealership that did all the work on it and they remember the fellow who owned it and said he was meticulous. They spent $11,000 on all the work. They even had Nufloors replace the flooring. I’ve purchased fabric to have it reupholstered this spring and just need to figure out what I’m going to do for window coverings. All my friends have RVs and I’ve borrowed my brothers Westphalia or stayed in a tent when I tagged along. I’ve always loved BigFoot, and have looked for years. Had my eye on many, but this one was a 9hr drive away. Many phone calls, texts, and a friend’s uncle who coincidentally lived two minutes away, I decided it was the one. So my son and I made the trip to Prince George and picked it up. As hard as it was to alter its original state, it was still 1988 on the inside. I’m pleased with the way it looks so far. Your trailer is going to be like new! I’m super excited for you! I also follow Levi and Leah from Vancouver island and look forward to watching their progress UA-cam videos too. I’m sure you must be following them. With Levi’s dad‘s skills… I can only imagine what it’s going to look like once they’re finished with it. Cheers!

Hey guys, so I’m using waxed resin. It cures after I apply the hardener without spraying it on manually. The unwaxed method you can layer it on quickly and boat repair people probably go this route for time schedule. But I found it’s simpler to use the waxed version in our cases because you just brush it on heavy and let it cure 24 hours before sanding again for another layer(slow and steady for my unskilled gelcoat experience gain). Tip, once you layer the gelcoat heavy don’t disturb it by touching it with the brush again. Ambient temperatures have to be taken seriously or the chemical cure won’t happen. It’s why is used the heat gun to seal the surface so it cures when it was cold outside but not too much heat or it bubbles. Don’t hesitate to reach out for any assistance!

That sounds super exciting! Make sure your camper doesn’t have water damage around the windows, doors, and penetrations from the inside so that you don’t have demo anything. Nevertheless, It really is a fun process. I have always been tinkering and taking things apart growing up. Its why a pursed a career in mechanical engineering. Don’t hesitate to reach out for any help! Do you have a top place where you want to take the camper already? Lol

Exactly, we intend to do it once robustly. So we don’t kick ourselves again later lol

Thanks!

Thank you, we shall continue!

Thank you, it’s coming along now since we decided to get the exterior some TLC. Also thanks for mentioning All rite, it’s looks like like that is is case and we will keep them in mind when it’s time to replace them.

We are glad it helps!

Yes, that is something we are thinking of, thanks!

Good job mate !
