I had trouble with the orginal Coby DVD player, I did call heartland and they sent me a newer Colby but I wasn't very happy with it either. I bought a Samsumg HT-X40 upconverting player and hooked up the tv with a Monster 600 HDMI connector. WOW what a difference. I have a new Samsung 52" LCD...

Broken Springs I also had the smoking tires, but no damage to my Michelin xps ribs. After installing the spring the tires moved back into the correct spacing, but I noticed the on divers side the tires line up correctly, but on the passenger side the tires are off from each other by 3/4". It...

Broken Spring I also had a spring brake on May 3rd, leaving Sacramento for Sedona,AZ. I was able to pull over into a dairy farm and jack up the trailer and replace the sping after finding a 1 3/4" by 25 1/4", four leaf spring at a local horse trailer supply store in Galt, CA. I'm not sure if...

3055rl I have a 2008, 3055RL and I just changed the tires to the XPS ribs and on the first trip of 600 miles I had no rubbing problems at all. I also have the slide toppers and I don't think you have to worry about the birds either. Mark

which generator? A friend of mine uses a CPAP machine at night, they use one of the car jumper packs which has a 12V outlet and plug in a 200 watt inverter. It runs the CPAP for usually two nights with out recharging. I use the same type of power pack to run my wood pellet barbecue grill. Sure...

Tire survey I don't understand how people think that Heartland as a trailer manufacturer would put on a Michelin tire, that Michelin states is not rated for trailer use, that would leave Heartland totally out in the open for liability issues for tire related problems. I could can just imagine...

Underbelly Repair When I cut the underbelly to fix the fresh water tank sag, I put the underbelly back together with wire ties every two inches. Ater one camping season and 4500 miles the underbelly is just as i left it.

5th Airborne Pin Box I Just Installed A Air Pin Box And The Difference In Ride Quality Is Worth The Price. I Have A B&W Companion Hitch In The Truck. It Was A Little Bit Of A Pain To Install The Pin Box, But I Got It In And Drove 500 Miles, Saturday. On The Concrete Roads The Pin Box Deffinetly...

3055 Congratulations on your new 5th wheel. I took my new 08, 3055RL out last weekend, had a great time. It rained in Bodega bay, so for dinner we had 7 people in our trailer, we ate and watched Maimi Vice dvd, had a great time. I have the B&W companion hitch and the plate fits fine. Mark

Water Tank Scott I had the same problem with a 2008, 3055RL. I put in 75 gallons between the tank and the water heater and could only get 35-40 gallons out before the pump sucked air. I took a bottle jack and a 3', 2 by 12 and jacked the tank up the get the remaining 40 gallons out. I bought...

water test Well I ended up pumping out 67 gallons, this is about what I expected. It's impossible to get all the water out of the tank, so I'm happy with this now. Mark

Water Text Today I did a bucket test to see how much water I could get out of the tank before the pump sucked air. I finally had to leave for work and I was up to 60gals and it was still pumping. I'll finish the test tonight, but for now the tank seems to be discharging water as it should. With...

Water Tank Well I reecieved my new 3055RL last week and I've made a few improvements to the A/C ducting and Heating. Today I filled the water tank as you did and only could get less than half of the water out before the pump started to suck air. I pulled off the bottom myself and fortunately I...

I recieved my new 3055RL last week and have made a few modifications. One was the tent in the A/C unit which worked very well, another was checking for heater operation. I found the following items that I fixed today. 1. the fittings in the heater housing leak a lot of air, so I used tape to...

Water Tanks So did you shim the tank and would this hold true for the gray and black water tank? Mark
