After putting a lot of work into this truck and building it specifically for our camping needs, I am testing the waters for sale. We just had a child and it doesn't look like we'll be taking extended month Baja trips like we were, so it might be time to move this truck. It's in amazing condition (still almost smells like new, almost).
1999 F450 cab chassis, I believe I am the third owner. The truck was purchased and built specifically to carry the Bigfoot 3000 series camper, and was never used much either by the original owner or the second owner.
I purchased the truck with 32,000 miles. As I said, it was barely used. Vehicle details
- Crew Cab, almost mint condition
- 7.3 liter powerstoke diesel, currently with 48,286 miles, stock engine
- 4 speed automatic transmission
- 4.88 factory gears
- 70 gallon transfer flow fuel tanks - this is the same that earth roamer uses in their vehicles, with dual tanks that equalize levels automatically
- Brand new (2,000 miles) Continental MPT 81 335/80R20 - (12.5R20) 41" tires, Buckstop 8 lug steel super single rims (hard to find with this bolt pattern) (x5), flippable rims for front or rear use, no spacers
- Original 19.5" rims and tires included in the sale (x7)
- Pro Tech aluminum flatbed, custom and very nice. I had to remove the underbed storage boxes to fit the super single but I can offer them in the sale
- Gooseneck hitch in bed
- 40 lb (I think) propane tank mounted under the bed, and a propane Onan generator behind the passenger rear tire, along with a 110v outlet installed in the bed. These are installed under the truck bed, not part of the camper. The camper can plug into the truck to take advantage of the generator though.
- 8' side boxes on both sides of flatbed, very nice and completely weather sealed/lockable. One has a dent/scratch that was there when I got it, still works fine.
- Trailer brake control
- Bushwacker fender flares for super single tires
- Custom 3" lift with new Alcan leaf springs front and rear, all springs custom designed for weight of the camper. Very stable driving with camper on
- Fox 2.0 shocks front and rear
- 12k lb warn winch (wire cable, old school), works great
- Fog lights with switch on dash (somewhat old school but switch and wiring are there to convert to newer LED lights)
- Running board lights (switched on dash) and lots of LED lights in the flatbed
- Truck weight without camper, full 70 gallons of fuel - 10,420 lbs
- GVWR 15,000 (with my Bigfoot 3000 we are still under GVWR fully loaded)
This is an amazing non def, stock 7.3L ford with full leaf springs front and rear. It barely has computers, and is probably one of the last of its kind in this condition. Please reach out with any questions.
Some information about the camper: (see images for camper specs from factory)
-1998 Bigfoot 30C10.11 - This is a great layout. The bathroom and closet create a lot of separation between the large bed/bedroom (overcab) and the dinette/kitchen
- See images for camper specs, but most important is full dry bath (separate shower), 38 gallon freshwater, power jacks
- 300 watts of solar panel to the roof (2x 150 watt panels)
- 300 amp hours of lithium ion batterys
- 3000 watt Victron hybrid inverter
- Victron solar charge controller
- Victron DC-DC charger
- All Victron components bluetooth enabled to connect to the app
- Addition plug installed for added mobile solar panels to increase solar capacity
- Guzzle H2O water filter with LED UVC and seperate water faucet for drinking water
- 2x 20 lb propane tanks
- New memory foam mattress
- Camper interior fully repainted in 2023
- USB A and C outlets installed at dinette for easy charging of devices
- Locks on all drawers to keep them closed while driving
We have a baby and have found this camper to be amazing for a family of 3 or 4. The only issues with the camper currently are that the hot water heater has a fitting leak so it is currently bypassed. If we keep the camper I will either rebuild existing unit or replace with 12v only hot water tank.
Thanks for looking
