I am looking at a 2004 bigfoot 25c9.6e. I have a 2021 F350. I'm trying to find information on how tall, if any, riser I'll need for this unit to clear my cab. I've read the E series have 3" taller basement which makes the clearance taller. The camper is a large distance from me so I haven't been able to measure it myself and haven't been able to find any old brochures online stating those measurements.

I took a measurement on my built in Dec. 2004 25c9.6E. The camper is on the truck I can't be 100% sure but it appears to be 47" from the bottom of the camper to the bottom of the overhead (bottom of bed area). I have the 2005 brochure but that measurement is not given.

Pallets are easy to acquire if you get there and need a temporary solution to get er home.

Or another crazy thought, have the seller measure THE camper you’re considering.
If they won’t do that (private or dealer) then I’d worry about the seller more than the camper height.

Seller was finally able to confirm this this morning. Looks like I'm driving to pick up a new to me camper.
