I tried one of those ladder mounted bike rack and it was junk. I decided to take the front wheels off our 2 bikes to see if they would fit in the basement storage area and both bikes fit. We have a 2008 BH 3055 and I still have plenty of room for the rest of our stuff, You might try this idea...

RV Cover I thought I should chime in about my experience with the Adco fifth wheel cover. I have used their cover for 5-6 yrs and have had great results. I live in Indiana so I cover it in the winter and in July & August when it's to hot to camp. I now have a BH 3055 and have covered it for 2...

mpg for Ford SD 6.4 powerstroke I traded my 07 Chev HD on a 2008 Ford SD F250 4x4 with 6.4 diesel 3.73 gr. I have the 3055 BH and last Feb I went to Florida from Indiana 2,200 mile round trip and truck averaged 10.0 mpg while towing. I get 15 mpg around town and 17 on highway. I love the...

I would have to give my 2008 BH 3055 a quality rating of 5. I couldn't say about Heartland service because I haven't any issue that required me to take back to dealer. The 3055 is very well built and we like is has much today as we did in 09/2007 when we bought it. Had a 07 other brand and it...

Dealership rating I would have to give Great Escape RV Center in Gamaliel, Ar. a rating of 5. They were so kind and caring went thru every detail on 2008 BH 3055. I went 450 miles to get this camper and it was worth the trip. Well, my wife and I are loading the BH for a 10 day trip to Pigeon...

Rsig I have 2008 BH 3055 and was towing it with a 2007 Chev 2500HD CC with duramax/allison I traded the 2500HD for a 2007 Chev 3500HD CC dual rear wheels back in June. The 2500 had plenty of power but the rear suspension seemed soft and the truck would lay over in turns. When I towed the BH...

If I could give you more information. I would buy the 3/4 ton truck with the 5.4 or V10 if you can't afford the diesel. With the 3/4 ton you get bigger brakes, axles, frame, shocks etc. which are very important features when it comes to towing. You won't be sorry you upgraded to an HD truck...

4.6 Ford F150 I hate to be a bearer of bad news but there is no way you can tow the Sundance with a 4.6 engine. I had a 4.6 in Ford F150 years ago and bought a 24' Fifth wheel ( of course the salesman said sure you can tow it ok) wrong!!!! I couldn't run 55 mph on the interstate it was...

1/2 ton towing a fifth wheel camper NoneI know from experience 1/2 ton trucks will tow a fifth wheel your looking at. The real question is the terrian you will be towing in and how far you will be towing camper from your home. 1/2 ton trucks have smaller brakes and the transmission/driveline...

:DJust had a family reunion on 08/31/2008 my wife's cousin is a diesel mechanic at the local Ford dealer. He has told me to stay away from the 6.0 powerstroke diesel has it has turbo and oil cooler issues. He says the new 6.4 diesel is no better. I think the Ford trucks are ok but the...

Black water tank issue I would do 2 things make sure your using a good chemical in your tank which will help break down tissue and waste. I'm assuming you don't have a black water rinse option which you hook a hose to and it rinses your tank after you dump. So if didn't have this option...

Cameo vs Augusta I don't know if this will help you with your decision or not but one of my family members bought a 2007 Cameo in June 2007. They had nothing but trouble with the unit. Apperently the big slide room was installed improperly from factory. Carriage sent factory rep. down to...

bad tires Are all the tires Heartland puts on their trailers junk? I have a 2008 BH 3055 with some off brand tires called Unicorn. I haven't had any tire issues so far but you'all are making me a little leery. A few years ago I had a Forest River 5er with Carisle tires and had 2 blowouts. I...

Just thought I should let you I have a BH 3055 which I towed with a 2007 Chev 2500CC hd with the diesel. Had plently of power but not enough truck for the 3055. I was always overloaded so I swapped the 07 2500 for a 07 Chev 3500 cc hd with dual rear wheels and I have been amazed at the...

Duramax rules I have now had 3 Chev 2500 hd's 03,06,07 and all have had Duramax/Allison setup. I have had no problems and this new 2007 model 2500 crewcab with enhanced Duramax has great torque/power. I now tow a 2008 BH 3055 and the HD does a great job. I just made trip from Indiana to Florida...
