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?

mgarvin4, You could also try posting your question in the "Ask The Factory" Forum so someone from Heartland sees it and responds. They are pretty good about that. Good Luck!

Re: ATF: Bighorn - Upgrading Tires The G614 specs specifially state they are to be mounted on 16"x6.5" rims. It must have to do with the width of the tire and its aspect ratio. I am going to try to fit 235/85R16 Michelin XPS Ribs as jimtoo states he was able to mount them on his 3055. If his...

I have a torque wrench, socket and extension that is always in the tool box stowed in the front compartment of my 5th wheel. I have checked the lug nuts for proper torque as recommended, but just suffered a brain fart and forgot the setting. I have it now. As I will be mounting brand new tires...

I cannot find my Heartland Manual, so I will contact Customer Service to see if it is possible to get another one. Thanks!

I cannot locate the literature which told me what torque wrench setting to use on the lug nuts for my 3055RL. If my memory has not failed me completely, it is 150 ft-lbs, but if anyone can confirm or correct, I would be most appreciative. Thanks, desertden

Where did you find 17.5 " rims and what Manufacturer of G114 tires did you buy? Thanks, desertden

Re: ATF: Bighorn - Upgrading Tires Do you remember which specific XPS Rib tire you had? The only one I could find that would mount on 6" rims with a diameter of 30.7 " only had a Load Index of 115 when 124 is absolute minimum for this trailer (3520 lbs at 80 psi).

Re: ATF: Bighorn - Upgrading Tires An excellent point as I have found one or two potholes in my travels. Several posters have stated they upgraded to 17.5" wheels. With the same axle spacing, they would have to mount a lower profile tire. There are such tires with H ratings, so I guess that...

So, Treadit does not offer Michelin XPS Ribs? That is an E rated tire that appears to be much better constructed than TowMax or Marathon. They are more expensive, as well.

My 2008 Big Horn 3055RL came with 235/80R16 Mission tires mounted on 16" x 6"rims rated for 3750 lbs at 110 psi. After 2 blowouts, I am trying to find stronger tires. Several Heartland Forum posters recommend Goodyear G614 which are load range G but the 235/85R16 tire requires 6.5" rims...

"I think some of the previous discussions on sidewall strength were related to the stresses when trying to shove a 40ft. rig into a tight CG space. Then the tires are the pivot point for all of the load." I have seen some guys cutting sharply to park in those tight spaces and watched the tires...

My 2008 3055RL has 16"x6" rims rated for 3750 lbs at 110 psi. I have been combing through the specs for G614 and XPS Ribs and cannot find one that will work on my 5th wheel. the G614s that would mount on 6" rims have too large a diameter (32") as the spacing between the tires is only 2" and...

I have been searching the Michelin site for specs on XPS Ribs but could only find ones listed as Load Range E. I thought from some of the posts that these tires were available in Load Range G with an maximum weight rating of 3750 lbs at 110 psi. If so, I wonder why I can't find them. Can...

As I stated previously, I have always made certain the pressure in my tires is correct and visibily inspect them before each days drive, I don't drive over 60 mph as the diesel consumption goes up as the square of velocity, I keep the tires covered when not on the road and parked on dry...

Do you know how I could determine the psi rating for the 16" wheels that came on my 3055RL? Thanks, desertden

My Big Horn 3055RL has 16" wheels and the spacing between the tires is very tight. I don't know that 17.5" wheels would fit. Any info available regarding that? Thanks, desertden

I certainly appreciate your response to my query. I am unfamiliar with "Tread-It". What is that? Also, the 3 years max life for tires worries me. I have had tires on my trucks and cars last a lot longer than that and never had a blowout or thrown tread. My F350 is 6 years old and has the...

Why do you recommend replacing the wheels on my Big Horn? the solid aluminum wheels from the factory seem to be fine. I have only had problems with the tires not holding up. The Westlake tires were all that was available to purchase at the time I needed tires as I was on the road far away...

I love my Big Horn 3055RL but have had bad luck with tires. The 5th wheel came from the factory equipped with Mission tires one of which blew out in less than 7000 mile of use and 3 years of age. All 4 were replaced with Westlake tires as the shop in St. George, Utah carried no other brand in...
