Wow! I would be VERY interested in a 21RD equivalent Lance! I'm shy of slides but really like a lot of the Lance features. In the meantime, I'll keep dreaming about a new Bigfoot 25RQ.

We don't have a Bigfoot trailer, but currently own a 3000 series truck slide in camper. Love the quality and build. We have had a Bigfoot camper all our married life and finally have the big one. They hold their value, when we sold our 2500 series last year we sold it for more than we originally paid, $4000 more, lol.

We just bought a new Big Foot 25RQ. We had been researching Air Stream trailers and went a number of times to inspect the AS, but the aluminum skin they currently buy from Alcoa is soft and thin and dents much more easily than the pre Thor models. This is not to say anything negative about Thor, the Al sheets from Alcoa are the only ones available to AS.

We were ready to buy a new AS when I noticed BF is now being offered through a couple of dealers east of the Mississippi River. All of the negatives of the AS were addressed in the BF. After we carefully inspected it, we bought it Feb 19, 2019, on the spot. I have been modifying it and have yet to take it camping so can't help you there. By modifying I mean adding a MaxxAir vent, WDH, sewer hose storage, checking that the brakes are adjusted correctly, that sort of thing. I like to do these things myself rather than have the dealership do it. It also has resulted in me poking around in places on the trailer that would not normally be the case. Even the hidden wiring is carefully and neatly laid out, no tangle mess of wires in this trailer.

This is the best built trailer I have encountered, bar none. I own a Casita and have been using it for the last several years. It is too small. I have taken plant tours of the Oliver, Escape, Lance, and Airstream manufacturing facilities. I have inspected and considered Arctic Fox and Outdoor RV products. I sold RV's for a year or so after I retired, just for fun.

I have an OEM 17' awning on the trailer. I have yet to install the Onan generator, although the trailer came prepped for the generator. Had I ordered the trailer I would order with the onboard LP 2500 watt Onan generator. It has 2 LP tanks at 30lbs each. It has the front cargo box. This trailer, although much heavier, longer and wider than the Casita, actually pulls much better. So much so that many BF owners don't use a WDH, although I will.

It is expensive, if you want a deal, buy one from the BF dealer closest
to the plant in Canada. I bought mine in Georgia.

If you have specific questions I will try to respond.
