If the roof leak has been professionally repaired then I would tend to think that subsequent leaks are less likely. That said, there is no getting away from the fact that it is an almost 25 y.o. RV so there are going to be things that fail. Just like any used vehicle, its a gamble, only this is an expensive gamble.

That Bigfoot is indeed super sweet. The price on exp portal was almost reasonable ($68k Loonies is what, $50k in freedumb moneys?). It seems they put ~15k mi on it and expect it to be worth nearly double.
But since the world is insane and nothing makes any sense, they will probably get it.ride bikes, climb, ski, travel, cook, work to fund former, repeat.

i remember this being discussed before but 386 pages is a lot to search. What were the opinions on the battlebornbatteries lifepo4 heated battery kit? Mt battery will be in an unheated compartment in my slide in. I anticipate charging off my alternator in below freezing temps. Reviews seem good.

Finished gutting our 1993 Travelaire and rebuilt with 2" xps walls, door, floor. Took out heavy furnace, oven, stove, refrigerator, water heater. Replaced with 12v refrigerator, diesel 5k heater, on-demand water heater. Interior walls/cupboards are 1" xps glassed, super light. Shaved a lot of weight off. No black tank, will use dry flush toilet. No grey tank, that soapy water can go on the ground. Batteries/plumbing all inside, in heated area, will not freeze. No grey/black tanks to freeze. Diesel heater in storage area that accommodates ski boots/wet gloves and works as boot dryer. Put in a real coat rack that actually works. Taking it out tonight for test run with kid......This old dog has been from Mexico to Arctic Ocean, all over Yukon, and the Sonoran Desert.

I have an 8.5 foot popup truck camper with 2" thick walls insulated with XPS rigid foam: R10. It makes a huge difference, especially in really cold temp, heat distribution remains quite constant.

Nicely done T-head. Last pic is sweet. Think I'll have to give my rig a spin at Big Sky one of these nights soon just for the hell of it.

Nice work. Any idea what the weight savings was all said and done?
I've been exploring alternatives, but the 1998 bigfoot we have is already such a nice size. Gutting the heavy interior and features we don't use to fit a queen bed and more practical use of space for dry camping has been on my mind for some time now.
That said, if you have the oven/range sitting around and it's in decent shape, I could be interested. I desperately miss the oven we had in our first camper.

Livin' the dream. Love it.
Here's a question for the fire pit crowd: I'm not up to date on my propane connector terminology, but it seems like most pits use the barbeque style tanks. Rig real estate is getting really tight and I'm thinking of using the green Coleman canisters that my stove takes to cut down on bulk. Refill at home, etc. Anybody try this? What kind of adapter situation do you wind up with?

The standard home BBQ tank is a 20# tank. You can get 10# and 5# tanks too, all of which use the same acme threaded connection as the standard 20#. Example:

The little green Coleman type bottles are pretty small, and I think you'd go through them fast hooked to a fire pit. They use a different hose connection too.
