HeY all, I’m looking for ideas on this problem because I am pretty much out of ideas. Recently we have been unable to get signals to our TVs both connected to cable or through the antenna. Before our next trip I decided to dig into the problem starting with the cable lines through the...

2008 Bighorn, just prepping for a trip and while replacing light bulbs in the LR wall lamps found the 15A fuse was blown. Further found my propane alarm was activating by turning the lamp switches of and on, or even removing the light bulbs. This is all while the fuse is blown. Replace the fuse...

Been a long time since I've been on, obviously working too much. This is issue goes all the way back to last August when we were going to one of my wife's art functions in Montana. On the way we found our suspension was trashed. Long story short we had to replace both axels and springs which...

On my Boghorn the skin on the underside front surrounding the pin box is sagging in the middle and wrinkling along the edges where it joins the side walls. There are now gaps up to 1/2" along the edge seems. Is anyone experiencing the same thing? Not sure how this is attached to the frame...

The bedroom slide on my Bighorn sometimes creeps open about an inch or so per day to a maximum of about four inches. Anybody had this issue? Any ideas?

I am told by DW that our hot water stinks (fortunately I can't smell anything). I drained the hot water heater and it seems to have improved. I did notice quite a lot of sediment in the bottom of the heater tank, anybody have an idea how to flush this sediment? I'm wondering if this...

I'm having an issue with the light bulb at the office desk burning out at least every few weeks. Have not taken the time yet to put a volt meter on it.......anybody experienced this problem? Could it be an issue with the power supply not regulating the voltage? Only one light is having the...

We have found it curious that since we have been fulltiming in Yakima, WA we have not sigted one Heartland product, well maybe one on the highway. We have been at Suntides RV Park in Yakima since Jan 15 and there has not been one other Heartland trailer, in fact we don't see many in WA, what's...

Does anyone have an opinion which Verizon 3G modem I should buy especially if I plan to use it with Cradlepoint? Any differences? Any more compatible than others? This will eventually be used in our home which will have no broadband cable capabilities.

We are finally preparing to make our move from California to Washington. Final destination is to be Yakima, but with the cold weather I'm considering parking DW in the Seattle area until end of Feb so we don't have to deal with freezing pipes. There's also going to be a couple of week we'll be...

The rocker switch on my fireplace just fried. Took the thing apart and found the wires to the rocker switch overheated and one melted the spade connector off the switch. Seems a fuse should have blown before the switch fried. Has anybody experienced this yet. I've cleaned up the wires and...

Just in time for the holidays and company our air bed has sprung a leak...Looks to be on one of the thermal seams so patching may not do the trick. I hate to admit it but the patch kit is a bit confusing. There are two round pieces, one matches the top velour surface the other is black vinyl...

Any recommendations for a park in the Vero Beach area? Plan to be there next week for a few days, and don't see much in the camping guides.

We are planning to travel through the Ozarks this next week to catch the fall colors, what would be the best route if we are eastbound from Tulsa? I was thinking through Fayetteville, over to Mtn. Home then up into Missouri. Our destination is St. Louis.

We will need some maintenance done on our BH when we get to the Sl. Louis area, does anyone know of a good RV service in the area. Just need the bearings packed. Thanks

Anybody had the water valve on the toilet leak. Just started today, not much volume. I can't see exactly what part of the valve it is coming from but looks like it would be easiest just to replace the valve. My toilet is the Dometic Traveler Lite 210. Any suggestions are appreciated.

We have always had a problem with the drawer on the sofa bed opening while traveling so we stuff a pillow under it. During our last trip we forgot the pillow, the drawer opened then a backpack on top of the sofa fell on the drawer which broke the drawer guides. Looks like I need to replace...

Amazing!! as my daughter puts it, our house sold in 7 days so we are now fulltimers in Visalia, CA. Packed everything into our 3055 and its quite comfy. Kind of nice no longer owning a house, decided we'll probably jump up and head for the Ozarks in a few weeks and check out the fall colors.

Any one have a banging noise on their B&W Fifth Wheel Companion hitch. I have it when I let of accelerator in prep to stop and at start. I have checked the torque on my U-bolts (80lbs) and the a-frame towers and can not find any play. BTW the B&W is a great hitch Comment appreciated.

I have an ADCO 5th Wheel cover originally bought for my Montana 2955RL. Used only for a few months before the rig was totalled and replaced with my Heartland Bighorn 3055, two feet too big. I'm in Central CA but moving to the PNW and would like to sell instead of moving it.

During the past month my B&W Fifth Wheel Companion has developed a pop or thump when stopping but we do not get the same noise on start-up. It does not have to be a hard stop at all. I have watched while DW drives and stops and it seem to come from the horizontal pin that allows the table to...

I know I should have replaced my original Mission tires the second I drove off the lot but I felt safe with my Pressure Pro system to warn me, that was 18 mos and 6K miles ago. Fortunately we have never seen the Pressure Pro work with a flat because we've been very lucky. The first Mission...

Does anyone have a recommendation for RV parks in the Anacortes, WA area. We will be traveling to the area the first two wee of Aug. Thanks

Now that I've gotten over the trama of my transmission failing I'm doing what every good red blooded American man would do, I'm shopping for a new Dodge Ram. I have always regretted my '06 not having the exhaust brake and not being 4x4. My dealer has two '08 2500 4x4's on the lot with 3500mi...

My transmission (45,000 mi) started to shift erattically from 1st to 2nd, would wind out to about 2800 rpm so I took it to the dealer. A valve stuck in the valve body taking out a clutch and damaged the torque converter. :mad: The Service Mgr told me there has been a lot of valve bodies on...

I think this has been discussed previously but I can't find it....Our '08 BH 3055 is just now a year old, suddenly our double cabinet doors with no space have become so tight both open even when you open one. To close you need to bring them together at the same time. I can plain them fairly...

Anybody had a problem opening the hot water heater drain....I have not tried to remove the plug since taking delivery in Feb '07. I have applied penetrating oil and it won't budge.....I'm worried if I put a cheater bar on it I may damage the bung on the heater. Any suggestions?

During our most recent trip the propane system for the refrigerator stopped working, the gas valve opens but the ignitor never actuates. It also seems the gas mecanism for the hot water heater is not operating either.....The AC works on both appliances. Does annyone know if there is a common...

We've been a the Crown Villa Rv Resort since Friday, what a place!! Rumor had it they closed but apparently the developer due to poor housing market choose to keep the place operating through 2008. Beautiful facility with outstanding staff. Will be traveling up Cascades Lake Highway...

We're at Wine Country RV REsort in Paso Robles besides us there is a Landmark and another brand new Big Horn 3055.....Anybody from the forum. I'll try to stop by today.

We are planning a trip in early August from CA up through Oregon. We will probably travel up I-5 with a stop in Hood River to visit family. We are considering heading back down south through the Bend area. Any recommendations on good places to stay and see along 97. Is the best area from Bend...

Why did my '08 3055 show up with MoreRyde suspension instead of TrailAire as specified in the '08 specs?:confused:

Parking my BH at Boulder Creek RV Resort (Lone Pine, CA) when a young couple walking by asked how long I've had my BH....I said about a month, same here we just got a Sundance. They love the rig, especially the quality. Didn't get a chance to see if they visit the forum. I'll wonder by...

We are planning a trip up CA 395 through the Owens Valley with the first stop in Lone Pine or Bishop area, then up through Mammoth and Lee Vining, and finally up through Carson City, Reno, across to Sacramento. We have never traveled up the Owens Valley so does anyone have recommendations on...

Coley, et al, I have a new '08 BigHorn 3055 with the air matress...I don't sleep on it but unfortunately our guest(s) love it, very comfortable. One problem, the under drawer does not have a latching mechanism and comes open while traveling, should there be some type of latch? We have...

Coley, When opening the slides on our new '08 3055 while the bedroom slide is opening normally, the door side office slide also opens about 6" to 12". Once the bedroom slide is extended then the door side slide extend normally. I did not notice this during our PDI and don't believe I have...

Proud to say we drove 2300 miles cross country to pickup our new BigHorn at RV's For Less. Spent the entire day doing a very thorough PDI and found only a few very minor things that are being adresssed by Butch and his crew. I am very impressed with the quality of the rig and the prep that...

For those of you who have examined the tank, where is the suction line attached? I work with poly tanks extensively and there are many new bulkhead fittings that are essentially flush with the tank walls, are they using a fitting or is it a molded nipple on the side of the tank. There are...

I do believe this has been asked before regarding cold but I have not seen anything definative as to the safe temperature range for the LCD's going into the new Bighorns. What is the maximum and minimum temperatures the supplied LCD can withstand? I live in the San Joaquin Valley of CA and we...

I just got back from working in Mexico and was surprised to see the number of RVs down there, maybe I just never paid attention before. I was working between Culiacan and Mazatlan, and saw two caravans with no less than 25 rigs heading north on Hwy 15. Saw several parks in Mazatlan area but no...
