Okay all of you. You have told me how wonderful your Bigfoot is. Have you measured your fresh water tank's capacity. Would love to hear from you that you have 50 gallons as Bigfoot advertises. My 9'6 has only 32 gallons and I get no help from Bigfoot. Do I have a lemon?

You don't have a lemon as that is what they come with!!! I have a 10ft. 11in. Columbia River made by Bigfoot and the tanks are also small, but man do I have storage space in that camper!!! It is the first camper that we have been able to use the bathroom on long trips. We always had to fill up the bathroom on our previous four campers because of lack of storage space. I have thought about adding another grey water tank under the rear of the camper, but it would be a major job so we just dump more often.

Your Bigfoot l0'11 should have a 32 gallon fresh water tank as specified in Bigfoot literature. My 9'6 specs indicate that the 9'6 has a 50 gallon fresh water tank and it does not. I can get only 32 gallons of water. Go figure!

Hmmm...will have to check mine. With my old camper we used a 5gal water jug that would last the weekend + 5 gal solar shower for two people each day. I don't think we are using much more in the new Bigfoot, little bit for the toilet maybe but we still go through a half a tank over the weekend. Would seem that 36 gal is closer to the truth than I would like to believe. How did you confirm the capacity? Filling via water jugs? I tried that once in the winter when the outside faucet froze, took forever and I still only got a half a tank worth.

I used 5gal container at the drain. (lowest point on the tank) Had dealer do the same with same results! 32-35 gal is all we get out after filling the tank to overflow. If you check would like to know your findings.
