I'm very interested in getting hydraulic levelers installed and see that several of you have had success. But I don't see that any of you have Bighorn 3055's. Does anyone out there know of any successful experiences with putting Bigfoot or HWH levelers on a 3055? (I can easily see the front...

Jimmyt5, Will they let you make reservations at MacDill this far in advance? And no 14-15 day stay limit? dennylm

Do you remember the first time you "drove off into the sunset" to begin full-timing? DW and I will FINALLY be heading out next week to "become gypsies"! We're more excited than when we first picked up our 3055 a year ago! We will be in Albuquerque for Thanksgiving, Jacksonville, FL for...

I need the "inside" story. Ah, that's beautiful tdharley! Tell me please: 1. What is the guage plugged into the outlet? 2. What is the black box above the switches? 3. How did you gain access behind that wall? 4. Are the rocker switches simply 110v household switches...

Moving living room and dining room switches to hallway I second the motion that this is a great idea! Whoever thought up the idea of having to step down into a dark room and open a closet door to turn on the lights! Mark, I tried to look at your photos but was told that Yahoo Photos is no...

Not to be (50amp), that is the answer. Thanks Ken, that's a great link. It gives GREAT instructions for "normal" wiring. Unfortunately, my situation is slightly "abnormal". It appears that I have a single pole 50amp breaker in the service panel with only three wires (ground, neutral, and one...

To be (50amp), or not to be (50amp), that is the question. Forrest,,, any reply to CT0218's note? I understand staying away from non-standard wiring. I wouldn't begin to do such in my own abode. But the owner of this space doesn't care if I rewire the receptacle, as long as I don't burn...

Another 50 amp question. Okay you electrical wizards out there, I've got a rather strange one I need a couple of answers for. I'm going to be parking our 3055 at a house that has both 30 and 50 amp service receptacles at an RV pad. Come to find out, their 50 amp receptacle is connected to a...

String completely out Hey fellow Heartlanders! I haven't had a lick of trouble with my blinds until the large one in the livingrooom suddenly slid down below the screw device on one side. Upon examination, I've discovered that the strings are no longer coming out of the hole on that end of...

I'm still shopping for the best price on Goodyear G614's and am also planning on buying new wheels to replace the stock painted steel wheels that came on the trailer. Those of you who have replaced tires AND wheels, can you recommend a make of dependable wheels? What did you buy? Denny

Thanks for the tip Loco. I've been wondering if something was wrong with mine being so slow too. You're right Uncle Rog. PM is what it's all about! Denny

Thanks for all the info. I think I'll look for G614RST 235/80 R16 in a load range F or G and aluminum wheels to match the max psi of the tires I pick. I also drove over to Baton Rouge and bought the Doran tire monitor from Tim before we left to pick up the trailer. If I hadn't had it on the...

Thanks Jim. What really made it funny was literally the LAST thing Kenny at the dealership said to us as we started to drive away was, "Don't forget to look UP!"

Okay all you heavy weights (7000# axle guys :))! I need some clarification for my little 3055 with 14,000 GVWR and 6000# axles. And I'm fundamentally tire-stupid! I ordered my trailer without the aluminum wheel option because I was going to have the dealer put Goodyears and American...

Yes, I can laugh at it. I've found that when it comes to what life can send you, especially when there's absolutely nothing you can do about it, quite often the two most useful words I can utter are, "Oh well!" :) Denny
