A couple of months ago in our local paper was a overhead camper for sale, I snoozed and lost out on looking at it as I put it off for a couple of days, this is where I need help. I cannot remember the brand or make and cannot find any info where the guy was or is so in short I should not have waited. The most important point of the description that the guy gave me was that there was no wood at all used in the mfg of the camper,which I thought was ideal. He stated it was made of alumminum frame and fiberglass with solid foam insulation. Does anyone here know of any mfg's that build a overhead camper that claims no wood at all used? Aluminum fram and such?? I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance. Goodluck,,Rick

 

I researched campers pretty good before I decided on a toy hauler 5th wheel...

Several of them out there have aluminum frames with fiberglass exterior... but I had a friend with an aluminum framed one and the spars tended to sweat in the winter.

The camper I liked best was the BigFoot 10.6 in their 2500 series. It is built like a boat hull (fiberglass exterior/structural foam) as two halves that clam-shell together.... No wood frame, or aluminum frame, few seams, and very well insulated and well made. On the down side, it was pretty heavy, and no slide...

 

Thanks, I haven't thougt much about the sweating, I will look into that tho. I have just got thru looking at the Bigfoots and am really impressed so far. Thanks Rick
