Thanks to all for your info. Since we had completed all the steps (except taking off the safety brake cable from the hitch handle) to drive away from the 5th wheel, when I drove a couple of feet my wife yelled that something had come off the rv. As a result, the pin was only out for a couple...

When I unhooked the seven pin hitch connection the other day, it really started to rain and got distracted. Drove off and pulled out the emergency brake pin from the hitch unit. It seemed fine and I replaced it and it looks like before. I am wondering if just replacing it in its socket is...

I have a coast to coast deluxe membership with the dues paid until 2014 with a $99 per year fee that needs to be paid to home park (not prepaid) The membership originally cost $1500 plus annual dues to coast to coast and the home park. We have purchased a lot in an rv park and tend not to...

Have been considering staying several months to a year in an RV park and moving the RV only perhaps a month or two each year to another static location and then back again for another lengthly stay at the RV park. Wondering if there are any "rules of thumb" or recommendations from the factory...

Jack stands for long term parking is there any "rule of thumb" on when to put trailer up on jack stands for longer term parking? - 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or more? also, is the best way to support the trailer in order to continue to use the trailer is with heavy duty jack stands in front of...

Thanks Jim, that makes sense. When we go down again to ga later in the fall, we will try that.

We have recently starting staying at an rv park in northern ga that is rather remote. We were getting a few channels with our on-board antenna (2008 big horn 3055 rl) but we started keeping in an rv port and reception is hindered by the steel partial enclosure. We think that getting an...

will probably store in north georgia mountain area. was also wondering what kind of rodent repeller and how it works mentioned by first respondant? dehumidifier sounds like a good idea but how would you keep it drained?

We have decided to store our bighorn in the south during the seasons when we are not traveling rather than tow it up and down the east coast with the price of diesel and the wear & tear on both us and the unit. The storage place has both a cover and electric available. Our questions are: would...

Thanks for the information. Once we make it down to Florida, we will have hook-ups or at least electrical hook-ups most of the rest of our trip south until we start back and then it will be the same daily runs back up the coast. Hope all have a great holiday season.

We are going to be traveling down the east coast soon, dry camping in the evenings each day for about a week. I was wondering how much the batteries will be charged from running 5 to 7 hours each day and if they will charge sufficiently to run most of the things we would be using in the...

Just got a 3055 at end of Aug. with the Trail Air Hitch with a Superglide and I was told none of the special quick capture plates will fit the Trail Air so the Dealer used the universal capture plate. They drilled and tapped some of the holes for the provided screws and drilled through and...

Thanks for all the suggestions and encouragement. Vangoes, how far past the drive have you found best for setting up the back of the trailer before starting to back into the driveway? I have noticed already in the little I have backed it that the trailer does not start to turn very quickly...

Not sure of the best place to ask this question! My daughter wants us to stay in her driveway when we go down to GA this winter for a visit. We are not sure we could get the Bighorn (3055 RL being pulled by Dodge truck) into the drive without going into the neighbors yard across the street...

Thanks for the thread and to Forrest for the additional solution consideration.
