    Caulk for vertical seams

    Hi Everyone, Two years ago the factory recaulked my plastic frontcap to the fiberglass sides and now the caulk is giving up the ghost. I have several feet to recaulk. What would be wrong with using the best GE caulk with silicone? Thanks, Dave

    Shower door replacement. Do it yourself?

    HI, My BH 3055 was delivered in late '08 with a crack in the glass of the shower door. The dealer offered to replace it but that is 40 miles each way and probably some time waiting in the lot. I looked at it closely and it appears that the bed (the wooden box the mattress sits on) has to be...

    Water heater bypass valve handle

    While trying to stop the leaks on my water heater bypass valve, I ruined the plastic handle. I was unable to find a replacement and now, months later I cannot even find the handle. It was marked "B&B Molders". Their website seems to indicate that they are not retail. Where can I get a...

    Trailair wet bolt kit use

    I have about 15,000 miles on my Bighorn. I noticed that the Trailair equalizers had some bad looking scrapes on their sides where they pivot on the hanger. Got the kit from Trailair for about $50 including tax. My helper and I jacked up one side and took off the wheels. All of the plastic...

    exterior slide floors raw plywood edges wicking water

    I don't know how else to say it. I am away from home, in Palmer, Alaska. This morning my next door neighbor who has a 2011 Bighorn, a 4 slide model about 36 feet long, showed me the edges that are starting to disintegrate. I got some poor photos not sure if I can post them. He says Heartland...

    Shotgun into Canada

    Hello, I want to take a shotgun to Alaska (bear protection) and I must cross Canada to get there. Has anyone actually done that? I have my Canadian forms filled out but there are several boxes to check regarding the reason for bringing in the firearm. I checked the "in transit" box. Should I...

    Reefer won't cool

    Hi Everyone, Left on a 200 mile trip to the lake last Thursday. Turned the fridge on as usual, expecting it to run fine but it did not. Got to the campground and it read 60 degrees. Got out the manuel, managed to find and check 2 fuses in the electronic panel. Both o.k. The "eyebrow" panel...

    Brakes,tires, is all lost?

    Hi All, This is a rant. '09 3055. Has about 6,000 miles and of course almost all on the interstates. Getting ready for a looong trip and pulled right-front wheel to examine brakes and bearings. Plenty of shoe lining there but little pieces of it are chunked out and the drum definitely needs...

    Belly skin bulged down about 3 inches. Waste tank sagging?

    Today I noticed a big sag in the lower cover of our '09 3055. The bulge was very heavy. I immediately drained the shower tank and the sag was not as much and was not so heavy. So, is the grey tank breaking thru the bottom? Is the tank just supported by straps? Anybody have an idea of what is...

    Cracks in truck tires

    Hello, I noticed some time back (months) that all 4 tires on my F-350 have cracks about 1 inch from the wheels, running all the way around the tire. Are these dangerous? The tires ar BF Goodrich Rugged Trail t/a, built 40/04, installed June/05. They have 40,000 miles, about 12,000 to 15,000...

    Potty Geyser in Bighorn - thoughts?

    Hello all. My first post. Got a '09 3055 Bighorn last December. I haven't had it back to the dealer yet (watchout Holman RV)! We've towed about 3,000 miles. We have a few irritating problems, one of which is particularly interesting: When the black water tank is somewhat filled (but I don't know...
