    Lucky enough to find a Jack Handle on US 17 and what it did to the front lower portion of our Big Country.

    Wow! Nice job, I should do that to mine just for rock damage, always thought it would been nice to have the extra protection from the factory.

    Black tank flush issue

    I think I would open the area and look at the plumbing. The others are correct that the system "should" be a closed system but you are sure you have the correct connection in the bay. So either this was a coincidence of the valve popping or something is not plumbed correctly which would be...

    New Oregon Big Country Owner

    Hello Razduck, Good to see more Oregon members, we are from Monmouth and look forward to meeting you at one of the rally's. I agree with the airbags I pull a 3055RL and used to have a 2500HD gas rig. The airbags were great and allowed me to set the height for a perfectly level trailer and a...

    GMC 2011 Urea Tank Problems -- They do exist!

    I had the same problem but in my case the dealer did forget to top off the tank during the prep. I will remember all these comments though and keep an eye on mine, lucky I don't live in the really cold areas.

    Does this look right to you??

    This does look like allot of rust and more than I have in three years of use, I hope Lippert will take care of you. I would also ask the dealer about the underbelly attachment, mine is tight front to back ane from the oicture your looks to have big gaps already.

    cabinets cracking and seperating at the glue joints

    I am also no expert just a home hobbies but I also had about 6 or 7 of my raised panel doors split last year. I have not had any problems with drawer faces splitting. The first winter I just has swelled doors where they would not shut unless closed together, then the next year I had all the...

    question about hitch weights

    One thing to remember is the advertised pin weight is with the unit empty, my 3055 Bighorn pin weight is 3100 lbs and I think the advertised weight was less than 2000 lbs.. and I do not have much extra gear loaded. The other thing is I'm not sure where you are traveling and maybe some big rig...

    Water Sanitation

    Good ideas, I have been thinking about sanitizing my fresh water tank but never thought about the campground spigots. You are right you never know what the previous vivitor may have done. Gross! lol

    Repairing Blinds

    Hi All, Has anyone had any luck re-stringing the double blinds? I have an 09 3055RL and one of the small blind strings broke in the front of the main slide. I looked while on the trip and cannot even figure out how the valance is attached or if the blind head will come out some how. I saw a...

    Electric Awnings

    Had mine for over two years and it works great, no problems. The only thing I miss is being able to drop the manual one down against the side of the trailer for cleaning. I need to get a better broom to sweep off the needles and leaves. I do like the just pushing a button, getting lazy as I get...

    Towing a 2011 Bighorn 3055

    I would say the 3/4 tons will pull the 3055 and I did for a few years with an 01 Chev 2500HD. You need to be careful though as loaded my pin weight is 3100lbs which was over the rating for the truck. I just bought a 3500 dually and have plenty of room now but really the old truck pulled well but...

    Should my Jensen TV work when i am Dry Camping or is it 120v?

    My '09 bighorn has one of each, the main TV is 120v only but the bedroom TV is 12v with an adaptor as mentioned above. The problem is at least in mine Heartland did not wire a 12 volt plug so I am stuck. I need to change out the plate with the antenna booster for one with a 12 volt plug which...
