I purchased this Big Horn 3055RL in May of 2007 new, but have never tried to use the Antenna for TV reception until now. I cranked up the Antenna and turned on the amplifier in the bedroom which has no TV. There is no signal received on any channel on the Olevia HDTV in the Living Room. No...

We bought a 2008 Big Horn 3055RL in May of 2007, but have never tried to use the roof antenna for TV reception always using the cable connection. Currently sitting in the Southwest Orlando KOA with extremely poor cable reception on the lower VHF channels 2 thru 6. After several attempts by the...

My 2008 3055RL has been repaired at A1 RV Repair in Sparks, NV for 3 weeks except for the subject Wheel Well Bezel that was destroyed when the rear tire on the off-door side threw its tread off and did extensive damage to my 5th wheell. A1 tells me they ordered the part a month ago, but it has...

I measured the height to the top of my front A/C at 13"-3". I always check the clearance height of any trestle or bridge under which I must travel.

We travel with 3 cats. They ride in carriers in the back seat area of my crew cab F350 with the seat folded up and the platform folded down. When we get to our site, they love being in the Big Horn with us, especially with windows open so they can look out and smell the fresh air. Plenty of...

I have obviously missed something in the current vernacular. What is Munzee?

The spare tire location is the one thing I do not like about my Big Horn. It is a pain to take off and put back on. I have to remove it to back my 5th wheel onto the RV pad beside my house because the driveway is uphill from the street. The spare would strike the ground if I left it on, so I...

I had problems with the sewer outlet being too close to the ground on my 2008 3055RL. There were a couple of times that it was actually slightly below the level of the dump hole when there was an infinitesimal slope in the wrong direction. I had it modified raising it up a good 5". Works like a...

The speed rating on my XPS Rib is Q = 99 mph, but anyone who hauls a big trailer approaching that speed is insane and should be locked up. I can't imagine the poor mileage the speed freaks get when hauling at high speed. They must own one of the oil companies.

I watched as the tires were being installed and let out a whoop when the rear tire went on and cleared the front tire by a little over an inch. The 285/85R16 XPS Rib should work on any trailer that does not need more than a maximum load rating of 3042 lbs at 80 psi and they are made for 6" wide...

I started this thread after suffering my second tire disaster damaging my 3055RL. After consulting with you fellow Heartland Owners, I have just had a set of Michelin XPS Rim 235/85R16 mounted on all four wheels and the spare. My fondest hope is that I can now roll down the road with some...

You are extremely lucky to have no damage to your trailer as there is no protective steel fender to keep thrown tread from damaging the sheet metal and ripping out the brake wiring among other things. Bite the bullet and get good tires. I can't recommend one because I don't know the size and...

I had the Transfer Flow 50 gal diesel aux with toolbox installed in my F350 and have had great service for 6 years. The monitor that mounts on the dash displays the amount of fuel in the main and aux tank in digital format and constantly runs autotests flashing "System OK" every few seconds...

When I am backing our 5th wheel into a site or onto the RV pad beside our home, my wife stands in front of the truck on the blind side so she can see any obstacles that I can't and I can see her so that if she signals me to stop, I do so immediately. Once the rig is lined up and going straight...

I have combed through the internet looking for information and specifications on Goodyear G614 and G114 tires that people talk about on this forum, but have not found anything. The "Official Goodyear Website" does not bring up anything on those tires. Where did you guys find specs on them?
