We picked up a 2011 3055 which was our factory order. Here is our list of issues that might help you out: The hot water heater when switched over to A/C failed due to lose wire nuts in the junction box, tech fixed 2 days later. The latch on the under sofa drawer was broken. The curtains over...

Your right to be concerned about the new SRW pickups and high bed rail and floor. Been through this with a new SRW Ford, but it was a 4X4 and I think your TV is a two wheel drive. The Heartland dealer (Capital RV) assured me it would be fine. Turned out not the case as you can see by the photo...

I think the chart you posted indicates that if you filled your tire to 80 psi at 65 degrees and the weather at your new location is now at 32 degrees, your tire will read 74 psi. I dont interpet it as a chart on how to under inflate to maintain 80 psi load capacity in cold weather by starting...

No sure if the proposed truck would be diesel, 2X4 or 4X4 on the SRW and GVWR. With the trailer pin and truck cargo added even with a lighter gas engine, your likely real close on a 3/4 ton max GVWR. The loading of RV and if outfitted with gen set, W/D sure adds to the pin too. It's true a...

I have made a POI file for over night dry camping on the Alaskan Highway from Dawson Creek to Whitehorse, YT., that I have compiled over the years. It is in Garmin's .gpi format and one would just move it into a Garmin via USB to the Garmin/POI folder location, then access thru Extras icon upon...

I agree with you. Why all the unpublished options. I blundered into a few this past August then got to asking. Things like: the bike receiver hitch, the 614's on lower weight models, more 12 volt outlets, the type of recliner(s), etc. Maybe the wetbolt kit for lube and HD shackles, I would...

After they adjust them and deliver the unit, check them out in an equivalent panic stop. You might have them do a test with you in their truck before unhooking to avoid the it's your controller argument, then hook it up to your rig and manually apply the brakes.

I had a hitch included on my order from Heartland. It came from factory bolted on. It is not the 2"x2" size however and I recall somewhere near a weight limitation of around 180 lbs which would not suffice for your scooter. It would be good for Heartland or Lippert to just state what is...

I have read pickup forums mention you would get a dash cel error as the computer evidently could not resolve the tank remaining full while mileage accumulated in some pickups so I can understand you concern. Maybe this has been resolved. I had one auxillary tank which had three hose...

This Duramax versus Ford on exhaust brake efficiency pretty much shows what I found in the Ford, that the Ford down shifted but the exhaust brake was very poor whereas the Cummins would hold back on the hills. Looks like the Duramax does well too, in the down hill test with load the Duramax...

What month or week even does the new model year begin production? For exampe what month do the 2012's become available?

TV prices sure have dropped so I can understand shopping them. One thing is our bedroom set came with a 19" Jensen, screen quality is okay, nothing special. But what was interesting was it is a 12 volt model and has a 110 volt to 12 volt converter attached when the generator is running or...

This site link below does a good job of explaining. A few points I thought were most interesting, especially the tire age and why possibly folks near their GVW with correct tires are having failures regardlenss if the pressure is correct: All "ST" tires have a maximum speed...

I picked up a 2011 BH in late August. I could not come close to locking brakes either as we gently slowed with controller paddles squeezed tight. In fact we could over power the brakes on full with the truck. They thought maybe the truck controller was at fault, so we got the dealers truck they...

Re: 2011 Alaska Trip.. You can get an exact cost from the Alaska Ferry system if you want to accompany your RV to Alaska. They are online. The cost is established by foot length. You can not stay in your RV, so you will need a stateroom. For example, from Prince Rupert, BC to Whitter, AK...
