    Goodbye 3055rl ? ?

    From what I've read, the 3055rl has probably been the most popular Bighorn ever made. And I agree. A great floorplan. Nice overall length.. under 36'. Everything accessible with slides pulled in. And it also gave people the option of a split bathroom. So why has it been discontinued ...

    We spend 4 months in Florida each winter without moving the FW and my wife wants to hang a plant from a hook. The hook would be midway between the forward/lower basement and the pin box. As it is we have large pots all around the FW but she wants another "posie" in a hanging pot. I think we...

    3055 Weight Distribution

    As my tires on my 3055 have shown much more tread wear on the left side than on the right I was wondering if it may be a weight distribution issue. For any of you 3055 owners that had your rig weighted at the ralley, I was wondering if it showed heavier on the leftside than the right. With the...

    Mounting a flag on my 3055

    I would like to mount a stainless flag pole bracket to the side or hitch on my 3055. Of course I would like to put it where the installation won't compromise the hitch or the wall of the trailer. Has anyone done this before and will mounting the bracket on the pin box cause a problem?

    Just purchased a new 3055

    Despite a few small items (so far) we really like the 3055 RL. 1. Both sinks required some hand tightening to stop leaks. 2. We had the dealer cut down the bed frame top and then replaced the king sized bed with a queen. The base/particle board top is about 4" too wide so I will have to do...
