Whether you're exploring remote trails or setting up camp under a starlit sky, the Sherpa Trailers Bigfoot is built to handle it all. Better still, it’s at a price point that won’t break the bank. The question is, what are the best features this compact off-road trailer has to offer?

Here’s a closer look at five top features that make this trailer an exceptional choice for your adventures.

Built for Off-Road Adventures

The Sherpa Trailers Bigfoot is designed with off-road performance in mind. In fact, it’s likely the trailer’s best feature.

Its 31” 10-50 R-15 tires are perfect for tackling rugged terrain and provide excellent ground clearance and stability. Adding to its durability are heavy-duty aluminum fenders equipped with batwing steps on each side, which offer easy access to the roof rack or a rooftop tent. The trailer's straight Dexter axle with leaf spring suspension–1400 lbs. per side–is another element of its off-road capabilities. This axle ensures a smooth ride, even on the roughest trails.

This trailer’s robust construction doesn’t stop there. The walls and floor are made from ¾” exterior-grade plywood, reinforced with 24-gauge sheet metal flashing on the exterior for added protection against the elements. The roof's 1 ½” foam insulation, combined with an aluminum outer skin, makes the Sherpa Trailers Bigfoot ready to withstand harsh weather conditions, too.

So, whether your adventures take you to the beach or the bayou, the mountains or the desert, or somewhere in between, the Sherpa Trailers, Bigfoot is ready and able to make it an adventure you won’t soon forget.

Lightweight and Easy to Tow

One of the most appealing aspects of the Sherpa Trailers Bigfoot is its lightweight construction. With a dry weight of approximately 1,300 lbs. and a tongue weight of just 140 lbs., this trailer is easy to tow, even with smaller vehicles. The Bigfoot tracks nicely behind your vehicle whether you’re on-road or off. Its compact 5 ft. x 8 ft. cabin, which is roomy, still allows for the trailer to be maneuverable in tight spaces. This makes it an ideal companion for exploring backcountry trails and camping in tight or difficult-to-maneuver campsites.

The inclusion of a wheeled jack on the tongue makes moving and positioning the trailer a breeze, while the dual stabilizer jacks on the rear make for a steady setup once you’ve reached your destination. Unhook the trailer from your vehicle, position it perfectly at base camp, and get your trailer set up in just a few minutes time. These features make towing and setting up the Sherpa Trailers Bigfoot virtually effortless, so you can focus more on your adventure and less on logistics. Nice, right?!

Comfortable and Functional Cabin Design

The interior of the Sherpa Trailers Bigfoot is thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort and utility. The cabin easily fits a queen-sized mattress, so you can get a good night’s sleep after a day of exploration. The mahogany plywood ceiling, reinforced with 2×4 ribs every 12 inches, gives the interior a warm and sturdy finish, while the carpeted walls and flooring add a touch of coziness.

The dual doors on either side of the cabin are equipped with adjustable screened windows, allowing for excellent cross-ventilation. Additionally, the cabin features a 12-volt fan on one side and a vent on the other, further enhancing airflow. Inside, a 6-outlet power strip on the rear bulkhead provides convenient access to power, whether you’re connected to shore power or a generator.

And if you need additional sleeping space or storage, the Sherpa Trailers Bigfoot offers bunk-style carpeted shelves with sturdy aluminum cleats. This is a practical feature for families or adventurers with extra gear.

This “build your own adventure” style of interior is a major benefit to you because you can truly customize it to your needs. Use the trailer’s interior as your sleeping quarters. Or, if you have a rooftop tent, throw it on top of the trailer and use the interior space for storage. You might also use the interior of the trailer as a living space and have a ground tent to sleep in with a rocket box on top of the trailer for your gear. The possibilities are endless!

Exterior Features Tailored for Versatility

The exterior of the Sherpa Trailers Bigfoot is as impressive as its interior. The trailer is equipped with LED lighting, both inside and out, ensuring visibility and safety during nighttime setups. The addition of a 2” rear receiver hitch opens up options for attaching bike racks, cargo racks, or other accessories, enhancing the trailer's versatility.

Another top feature is the optional 270-degree driver-side awning, which provides ample shade and protection from the elements. Combined with a roof rack capable of supporting a rooftop tent, the Sherpa Trailers Bigfoot is ready to accommodate all your camping needs. The Front Runner tailgate table adds even more utility, serving as a convenient space for meal prep or equipment organization.

Again, the name of the game here is utility. Sherpa Trailers does a fantastic job ensuring you can use the trailer however you want or need. The whole point of a trailer like this is to help you get out further and more frequently, and boy, can you do that with the Bigfoot!
