- (EP11) We wrap up refurbishing the exterior of the camper to make it road worthy and immediately took it for a test. We discovered our suspension was in need of new axle springs and there was a nasty crack on the fiberglass shell that the previous owner masked. In this episode we wire the electrical brakes, the breakaway battery, install a longer 7 pin connection cable with a junction box, weld together the spare tire carrier mount, repair the broken fiberglass shell, gelcoat, buff to a bright sheen the propane fiberglass cover, install new elastic draw latches, chains, leveling jacks, accessories and more! We got the furnace to work for our night stay for New Years at our family get together which was surprising that we didn't have to do anything to it! Next up us our electrical upgrades for going off grid!
We love our 1985 Bigfoot B19 trailer, it has the awesome 80's vibe and we hope to make further videos showing our progress! If you are just a tuning in there are other episodes that show our progress and some good visual tips for those Bigfoot and RV Trailer lovers!
Little background, we bought the camper last year and it was essentially sitting for 16 years under a dirt carport in Oregon and it was being swallowed by thorny vines back into the earth!

Very cool
Thank you 😊
Your black plastic "jack stands" are bed risers, just in case you wanted to know.
Thank you for this series of videos. I love seeing Bigfoot campers get restored. I've heard of people who restore racing stripes for cars, I've wondered if they could possibly do the same for RV decals.
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.
What was happening under the blankets? LOL🤣
Lmao 🤣
Outstanding job.
Thank you 😊
You need to buy some proper fitting nut runners or deep socket set.
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
Great job!!
Thank you 😊
Happy New Year to you and your family!! Bro I’m so happy for you and your wife man!! Your Bigfoot is wonderful!! It turned out amazing!! Also it was a pleasure to watch you bring it back to life! Really amazing restoration!! What’s your next project?😁👍
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. 💪
Have yo upgraded the electronics to add solar and if so what battery are you using? Thanks for your video
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?
