Best quality RV I have ever owned tows like a dream best winter RV you can buy. Quality and craftsmanship surpasses any RV sold today. Best resale value of RVs today. Tinted windows reflect the heat and they are double pane to keep the heat in. Frame is super quality tougher than nails. Trailer hitch high quality build. Factory support is quick friendly and professional. Never a problem getting a response from Bigfoot. Buy your Bigfoot used to avoid paying Tariffs. Show less

RV Bigfoot is a Canadian company that builds fiberglass-shelled travel trailers and pickup campers. They are particularly well insulated and are four-season campers It is 110” wide which gives it some advantages in terms of interior space. It has a 6’ 4” interior ceiling height but only a 8’ 4” exterior height, excluding the air conditioner. That additional width means that they still feel spacious even without a slide room, which also means no issues with slide mechanisms. Along the ceilings is a marine-grade woven fabric that sort of looks like carpeting but is washable and helps with both sound and thermal insulation. The walls, too, are a washable material being a soft vinyl. Cabinets and other wooden structures are solid wood with a choice of two wood finishes, a traditional birch finish or a slightly darker “Driftwood” finish. Insulation continues to the thermal-pane windows that have day/night shades on them. Outside you can get a large storage compartment on the front tongue for the various hoses and other goodies we need as campers. The compartments have an access hatch on either side with a light inside. Further front there is another compartment that houses the two 30 pound propane bottles. Bigfoot trailers are composed of two large fiberglass “tubs” which are joined down the middle and fused together. Each of these tubs is made of 1/8” thick fiberglass and then an inch and a half of insulation resides between the inner and outer shell. This is both relatively light weight and also strong with the added benefit of providing good thermal and sound insulation. The additional width of this trailer does offer a more spacious feel but that is just the start with there being a windshield and then windows on either side of the dinette, which occupies the front of this model. Of course that dinette table folds down to become a bed but there’s also an additional seat toward the rear of the trailer that’s part of the dinette so there’s almost a day bed even before you get to folding the table. Across from the entrance is the refrigerator which is the traditional propane-electric gas absorption model. On the camp side is the rest of the galley which features a three-burner stove and 22” oven with a round stainless steel sink down the line toward the rear of the galley. Cabinets occupy the space above the dinette and also above the sink and stove. Overhead is a standard high-performance fan but you can also get one of these over the bed. Down the camp side there’s a closet which sits opposite the bathroom. One of the nicer things about the walk-in shower is that there’s a step/seat in the shower. The 60” x 74” RV queen bed sits “east west” but, owing to the width of this trailer, it is a walk-around queen. On either side of the bed are hanging closets and there are tables below those with more cabinets across the top. Once again windows are the word of the day with there being a large rear window and one on either side of the camper. Factor in that high-performance fan and it becomes apparent why the air conditioner is an option on Bigfoot trailers. In the bedroom Bigfoot has a carpet that sits around the bed which can be lifted out and removed. That’s pretty slick as you get to walk on carpeting but you can remove it for cleaning. Or just because. Maybe National Carpet Removal day or something. See this content Owners I’ve talked to people rave about the buying experience. While the trailers are sold through dealers owner, Grant, has been mentioned in numerous places where you can really customize the trailers to your liking. I saw models that have three high-performance fans, solar and other changes. You can also get this model is also prepped for a generator which is unusual in a trailer of this size. If you do choose a generator it will be an Onan 2.5 propane-fueled model. There’s also a luggage rack on the roof, which you don’t see much. Bigfoot is not unlike the rest of the RV industry where there is a long waiting list of RVs but the company also states that some dealers have a standing order for a specific number of models so that might be the way to get one. The good thing is that the company will still work with you if you’re able to get in this way. It’s unusual to find a company in the RV space where there are this many really positive comments in the various social places I troll so that speaks well of Bigfoot RV. With these kind of credentials no wonder the waiting list is so long. Show less

Disliked rear refrigerator, liked shower size, disliked L shaped sofa bed couch. It needs an electrical receptacle by table. Light switches in cabinet above sofa hard to reach for short people, need to be on wall by door. Show less

We have been travel trailer campers for 3 years. We started with a Coleman so we could learn the ropes along with pros and cons of camper life. After 2 years we felt confident enough to upgrade and decided on Grand Design. From reading reviews, this was supposed to be a better quality camper and the floor plan was exactly what we wanted! We also bought a new truck to be able to pull the Grand Design. We bought the camper in October 2021. On December 18th 2021, during our family vacation to Gatlinburg TN, the slide broke. This was our third time to use the camper. We were given an appointment date of January 5th to drop the camper off for repair. THREE months later we finally get the camper back. This prolonged time was NOT grand designs fault. In fact, they helped us to get it back by calling the dealership and lighting a fire under their butts. Fast forward to July 22nd, 2022. We had used the camper about 6 times since the slide repair and on another family vacation, the slide broke again. After numerous calls to various people, we have been given a drop off date for repair of September 9th, which is 6 weeks from now,...again, not Grand Designs fault that dealerships are so backed up. BUT we have paid several thousands of dollars for the camper, a new truck, camper insurance, truck insurance and storage for the camper and we have NOT been able to use the camper for months at a time due to what I believe is a design flaw in the slide system and that IS Grand Design's fault. I called and asked them to take it back because apparently it is a lemon and they said no. I asked for some sort of financial compensation for the months of lost time with the camper and they said no. I have looked into arbitration and apparently it is set up to lean towards the big fish, not the little fish in this scenario. Every time I have spoken to customer service, they have been very nice and respectful but the GD Imagine, or at least our Grand Design Imagine is flawed and I would not recommend buying it. Spend your money on something else!! Show less

The Mercedes Sprinter chassis with the Turbo Diesel and the Pleasure-Way Acsent-TS cabin is a perfect RV. 19' 5" long, generator, cabin A/C, kitchen sink, 2 burner propane stove top, toilet, shower, basin, electric folding couch turns into a 70" x 72" bed, Forced air propane heater, TV and BlueRay player, Swiveling front seats, removable dining table, 6' 3" jnside headroom, outside 2nd shower, hot water heater, and more. The layout of the cabin is perfect. They have not changed the layout to date. 16 plus years. You can't believe how much room you have for such a short RV. The cabinets are extremely well built. The Ultra Leather seats (front and rear) don't wear and are easy to keep clean. We get 20 miles per gallon on average. Easy to drive. You can park it in most single parking spots. Self contained for camping with no hook-ups. The motor is quiet and omits little to no Diesel smell. Pleasure-Way Industries has engineers available for any questions. They have been so accommodating to deal with. This is the best RV we have owned. Show less

This is an excellent camper with plenty of storage. The bathroom has a double door closet with additional clothes rod. The kitchen table folds down to make a 2nd bed. There is storage under both bench seating. Easy access to front storage compartments from inside the camper. There are closets on each side of the bed with storage above the bed. Two fan ceiling vents. the queen size bed lifts up and there is additional storage under the bed. Show less

Love the floor plan and amenities. Drives like a dream. The Mercedes engine is unbelievably powerful and gets unexpectedly good miles per gallon. The after market solar panel and battery (with inverter package) on this particular RV is exceptionally efficient and useful. We like the 3-way fridge (although it is a bit small).

We owned this camper for 11 years and used it all over the western USA and Canada. Purchased it in Alaska when our new Airstream trailer self destructed on the AlCan Hwy and drove it home to AZ. We would still have it but, the only draw back, is that it high off the ground and we are in our late 70's and worried about falling, coming close a few times. I would highly recommend this camper to anyone. We had virtually no trouble with this camper in the 11 years we owned it. The new owners were amazed at the fact that it looked brand new in and out. The factory was always helpful with any questions we had or if we needed a part from them. Not a thing bad to say about this camper. Don't think that many people can say that about an RV! Buy one and have some great adventures with it, we certainly did! You won't regret it. Show less

We bought this unit new in 2016. It is a 2015-so the warranty went into effect in 2016. This past summer I noticed bulges on one side of the camper, contacted KZ, our insurance company and another RV dealer here in town. The other dealer and the insurance agent both concluded that it was caused by poor workmanship. The roof fabric was tearing on one side caused by the manufacturer cutting the roof plywood to short and the screws holding the plywood down coming loose. The tears in the fabric allowed water to seep in between the side walls causing delamination on the fiberglass exterior wall. KZ said the warranty was 14 months out of their normal warranty and we are SOL! I posted some comments ontheir Facebook page, which they took down and now they have blocked me from their page. Bottom line-don't buy any thing from KZ. When 2 outside parties both say it's a manufacturing defect and they won't do anything to help off set the cost- I'll never buy another KZ product again.
