In April 2008, after many requests, we received the following draft manual for our
T2801 Trailer. To be very fair, take into consideration that this was a draft.
I have finally gotten around to making some revisions and recommendations,
based on our experience as full-time Bigfoot RVers, on the road between
campgrounds usually once or twice every week.
My changes and suggestions are written in blue. Since I served as a newspaper
editor for 10 years and spent much of the remaining 35 years of my worklife
dealing with words, I have been compelled by habit to correct spelling, grammar
and punctuation (without taking credit for the editing). I also changed Canadian
spellings to customary U.S.
As a disclaimer, I am not an expert. My suggestions are: 1) to be considered or
ignored as you wish; 2) I have gained knowledge from a few conversations with
Bigfoot, parts suppliers, and dozens or books and articles we have read; and 3)
being active RV campers, we have gained a wealth of experience, which, after
three years on the road, would already fill more than a book.
As you probably know, Bigfoot closed its doors in November 2008. I have heard
conjecture about what happened to the company and the spare parts and
machinery including moulds, but I don’t have factual information.
I welcome your additional input, corrections, suggestions and comments about
any and all that follows. Please e-mail me at [email protected].
Thanks,
Barry Zander
