2027 Bigfoot Campers Buyers Guide

Bigfoot RV has long been one of the most respected names in the truck camper industry, particularly among travelers who refuse to put their campers away when the temperature drops. Built in Armstrong, British Columbia, Bigfoot’s hard-wall truck campers are designed for the demanding climate of western Canada and feature a distinctive two-piece molded fiberglass shell that provides excellent durability, weather resistance, and structural integrity. Rather than relying on conventional framed walls covered with fiberglass or aluminum siding, Bigfoot bonds the upper and lower fiberglass shells together to create a strong, tightly sealed structure with relatively few exterior seams—a major advantage for owners who spend considerable time camping in rain, snow, and freezing temperatures.

Four-season capability is one of Bigfoot’s biggest strengths, especially with the premium 2500 Series. Bigfoot rates the 2500 Series insulation at R-8 in the walls, R-10 in the ceiling, and R-12 in the basement, while the camper’s thermal-pane windows further reduce heat loss and condensation during cold-weather camping. The basement and holding-tank areas are enclosed and heated, helping protect the plumbing system when temperatures fall below freezing. Combined with a powerful forced-air furnace, these features make the 2500 Series one of the better choices for serious winter campers, hunters, skiers, and travelers who routinely encounter freezing temperatures.

The lighter 1500 Series follows the same basic Bigfoot philosophy but is designed to reduce weight for trucks with less available payload. Like its heavier sibling, the 1500 Series uses Bigfoot’s two-piece molded fiberglass construction and incorporates insulation and cold-weather features intended to extend the camping season well beyond summer. Bigfoot rates the 1500 Series at approximately R-6 in the walls, R-8 in the ceiling, and R-8 in the basement. While the 2500 Series remains the company’s premier choice for extreme four-season use, the 1500 Series offers an attractive compromise for buyers who want Bigfoot construction and cold-weather capability without the additional weight of the company’s larger campers.

Bigfoot’s current truck camper lineup ranges from the compact 15C8.2SB, designed for short-bed trucks, to the spacious 25C10.4 and 25C10.6, which are better suited to one-ton dual-rear-wheel pickups. In between are several short- and long-bed floorplans that give buyers considerable flexibility when matching a camper to a truck. Regardless of model, the attraction is much the same: rugged molded-fiberglass construction, excellent insulation, heated and protected systems, and interiors designed for extended travel. For truck camper owners who view winter as another camping season rather than a reason to stay home, few manufacturers have built their reputation around four-season camping as thoroughly as Bigfoot.
