I still have my 2008 Chevrolet silverado cc sb duramax/allison truck and my 2008 Big Horn 3055rl for sale. I had posted this info about three weeks ago but somehow it got removed. The truck is silver birch in color, grey leather interior, navigation and dvd option. In bed 60 gallon auxiliary...

This coming Monday I have an appointment to get my landing gear worked on......I was enroute to Yellowstone a couple of weeks ago and my jacks quit me in Nebraska....was unable to raise to get on truck...found out that a peg had broken off the foot of the electric motor and motor was flopping...

Last year I finally got rid of the Mission tires that came on my unit and replaced them with Maxxis ST tires. I believe my tire size is 235/80/16. I now have close to 5000 miles on them and they look new and I have never had to add any air. I run 80psi in them and never get over 65mph. A...

I have had a 60 Gal RDS tank made in Perry, Florida for about 4 years now. Sits in the bed of my short bed Chevy with plenty of room for my 5th wheel hitch. Tank has a tool box on top and looks very nice. It was very simple to hook up, bought a small electric fuel pump had it wired where I...

thanks guys for correcting me on the lever direction.....I guess years ago I was misinformed (how did the gas get to the hot water heater when I tested it). Anyway I know now to point it either left or right toward whatever tank I want to use. Now we need to get the OP problem fixed...jwb.

I don't know if this is your problem or not, but I was dewinterizing my unit and was testing the water heater on gas and electric and also the furnace. I had both LP tanks turned on with the tank switching valve in the vertical position where if one tank empties the other is supposed to pick it...

We are planning a western trip this late spring and early summer to Glacier and Yellowstone. We are staying at Mt. Manor RV park in Hungry Horse for a week then traveling down to West Yellowstone and spending a week at Grizzly. Have stayed at Grizzly before, and it's one of the nicest RV parks...

I changed my tires from Mission which came on my 2008 Big Horn 3055RL. I ran them for two years with minimal problems, but thought I may be pressing my luck so I changed to Maxxis last fall. They were the same size tire as the Mission but when I put them on the 5'ver they appeared to be a...

I replaced my Mission tires when they finally started their demise, had one blow out from the inside so no damage. I and a local tire dealer both have Big Horn 3055's and he located 8 Maxxim (sp) tires for us. I don't have many miles on them as yet but I have read somewhere on the internet...

I have a GMC 2500 duramax with a 26 gal original equipment fuel tank....I soon found out that I was having to refuel every 200 miles or so and that was unsatisfactory. I purchased a RDS 60 gallon auxillary tank for the bed and have been pleased ever since. I rarely drive over 500 miles per day...

Mine also works fine using the hook up in the docking station, never had a problem hooking up. Now figuring out that Olevia TV was a different story, lots of trial and error before I was ever able to receive a signal, but once I figured that out all works fine...jwb.

Its easier to just raise a window and listen for your directv receiver to beep when you hit the signal. The faster the beep the stronger the signal. Get a compass and get your azimuth and elevation reading from entering the zip code where your are. I haven't found any need for any fancy and...

Retired as a Sergeant from the Missouri State Highway Patrol on July 1, 1998. I spent 30 years working wrecks, shagging taillights, putting drunks and druggies in jail and supervising a Zone. Finished up working in the Troop HQ, as a desk sergeant, supply sergeant and evidence officer. Great...

An 05 here, just returned from the Smokies, traveled about 900 miles round trip most of it on I-40 across Tennessee. Tried to hold it to around 63-64 mph to keep from getting run over by the thousands of semis on that road!!! I got exactly 11.0 MPG. jwb.

I had my dealer install a 2nd AC in my 3055rl as I knew that where I camped I would need more air than the original 15000 would supply. I had a 13500 duotherm (non ducted) installed in the front bed room. This makes a world of difference and I really use the front ac more than the thermostat...
