I have had a BIgfoot Camper for 6 yrs in the Rocky Mtns. camp Spring summer & fall...mostly in this region (although 8 weeks in Alaska). Looking to switch to a 23- 25 ft trailer for shorter 3 day to 2 week trips closer to Colorado...our home.
Very interested in an Airstream, but concerned about the insulation issues w/ Airstream.
Aluminum vs gelcoat fiberglass
batt insulation , metal rivets vs foam core insulation/egg shell construction
single pane windows vs double pane
exposed black/grey water pipe valves vs encapsulated valves, etc, etc
I love the Airstream FB floor plans w/ expansive windows. I do not expect it to be as heat efficient as a Bigfoot. But ,I have spent hours reading these forums....regarding heating issues.....very informative.
A 25FB Airstream in 25 degree temps, dry camping for two/three nights, will require a generator, lots of propane, and 55 degree temp in FB, since heating flow is in main salon. I will also be required to duck tape insulation to the exposed flush out valves. Does this sound about right ??
I realize Bigfoot is out of production, no warranties, pathetic floor plans, and has a limited selection of used product....but incredibly warm. (My camper heater thermostat needs a lower setting)
Please help convince me...my heart wants to go silver.
