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

Well, the day finally came! We picked up our baby (3055RL) from Butch and Karen at RVs-for-Less in Knoxville. We really can't say enough about them and their staff of good people. Seth, Paul, Kenny and Allan were super in putting on the final touches and responding to our short PDI list. The...

I drove over to Tim's at RV Cams, Inc. in Baton Rouge today and bought the Pressure Pro tire monitoring system. Went ahead and got eight sensors to cover the trailer and TV. Didn't have the trailer with me (will pick it up in Knoxville next week!!! :D) but I used the four sensors on the TV...

Hey LSPTpr! My bride and I live in Lafayette now and are moving to Monroe later this year when she retires. We're heading up to Knoxville next week to pick up our new 3055. If you ever head our way, give us a hollar and we'll hook up for coffee. We've stayed at the Paragon casino in our old...

Thanks! I appreciate it.

Scott, thank you for the quick reply. I hadn't thought about the legal aspect. As I said, just a suggestion. Keep up the good work and keep quality out there as the single most important reason for attracting new customers and satisfying us "old timers". You have a GREAT company here! Dave...

JD and CJ, My wife and I are moving to Monroe, LA. I didn't realize there was a dealership carrying Heartland products there. Do you have any idea how good their service department might be?

Scott and Coley, As I'm waiting (with GREAT excitement) for my 3055 to be ready in a couple of weeks, I keep hearing of more and more of your customers being very unhappy about the quality, or lack of quality regarding Heartland's owner's manuals. It makes sense to me that trying to keep an...

Congrats Kristy!! We pick up our 3055 in a couple of weeks! We fell in love with the 3670 but had already bought the truck and just didn't have enough horses (or brakes) for the 3670. Maybe one day we can move up to y'all's "neighborhood"! :D You have a fantastic trailer! Enjoy!!!! Denny

I only carry two things. A roll of duct tape and a hammer. If it moves and shouldn't, I use the duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, I use the hammer. :D Just kidding of course! I'm always trying to trim weight so I agree with Uncle Rog in using the trial and error method. Also, if...

Yo Bill, One too many http://'s in that link!

Should those of us who are waiting for our recently ordered units to be built assume that Lippert has fixed this on new units?

Congratulations Mike and Mary Ellen!!! We are also waiting on our 3055 from RV's-for-Less in Knoxville. Unfortunately, we had to reschedule its place in the build queue due to my wife's retirement struggles and it should be ready somewhere around the middle of April too. If you do a search...

I've ordered my 3055 with a heat pump/air conditioner in the bedroom. Will the Hunter work on a heat pump? I know if you have a heat pump in your home unit, you have to be careful which thermostat you buy. Denny

Congrats on your new 3055. By the way, another kudo for Butch and Karen at RV's-for-Less. My 3055 was due to arrive around March 15th. My wife was planning on saying goodbye to her office and joining me in retirement when we leave for Knoxville to get the 3055. Since then, her final project...

Say John, I noticed earlier in this thread that you had ordered the queen bed. We have done the same in our BigHorn 3055RL. I suddenly realized I have no idea if it is a standard residential sized queen, or an "RV" queen. Assuming the same one goes in your GC and my BH (not necessarily a...

I know this may be a touchy subject, and I'm not pointing fingers at anyone here, but I've also read a LOT about how many trailers are overweight out there. I can't help but wonder how many of the blowouts we read about have weight issues as contributing factors? I'm sure that weight isn't the...

Congrats on your new 3055RL!! We're waiting on our 3055RL from RV's-for-Less in Knoxville. I appreciate your excitement! I'm like a kid on Christmas eve! Denny

Thanks Mel and Nina! I wish we could afford to go with a Landmark but the "Secretary of the Treasury" gave me my limit and I had to abide! :) Good luck with your new rigs and I hope we get to come to the rally. Look forward to meeting you there. Denny

Funny you should say that Jim. The 3670 and the 3055 were my first choices when I first looked at Heartland. I ended up ordering the 3055 primarily due to matching the weight limits with my F250. I just want to have plenty of breathing room with CCC and sleep better at night not worrying...

Me too. For what it's worth, you aren't crazy ChopperBill. I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. Had I not done a preview, I wouldn't have caught it. Any ideas Jim? Denny

Thanks y'all! I know this is premature, but I just couldn't wait. Had to create a signature block! Denny

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm too excited to look elsewhere. I just got off the phone with Karen at RV's-for-Less in Knoxville and my 3055 is ordered!!!!! I'm like a kid in a candy store!!!!! I've never researched anything so much in my life! First trucks...

According to the 2008 brochure I have in front of me, the current models are 3055RL, 3100RL, 3370RL, 3400RL, 3400RE, 3600RL and 3670RL. P.S. I'm ordering my 3055RL from Butch tomorrow!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D!!!!!! Denny

I'm in the process of ordering my 3055 through Butch in Knoxville. Has anyone mentioned this tank problem to the factory so they can fix it before new ones (like mine :D) come off the line? Thanks! Dennis

Thanks BluegrassMan. I appreciate the explanation. Denny
