You might want to go to RVERSCORNER.COM/TOWINGREGULATIONS for more information to help you make a decision. We had to choose the F-350 for our 3055RL, as we are just under the max combined GVW of 23,000 lbs. The F-250 truck had the exact same engine/transmission, but the 2 most important...

Greetings from the Alaskan Wilderness! We had the same problem, resealed the small window, but the leak persisted. Found the source - a break in the caulking where the rear cap meets the sidewall in the area of that little drain spout up on the top corner of the roof line. The leak was very...

I would recommend that you at least consider the Rieco Titan leveling system. We had that system installed in Sept 2010 on our 3055RL and it has exceeded our expectations on all aspects of the system. Wireless remote control, high speed jacks with individual electric motors (5,000 lb...

Without any reservation - YES. See all of the above positive comments, and I agree with all of them. Will not order another 5thwheel without it.

patrick1945, finaly got the pictures loaded. The first one is looking in the large storage bin, on the forward wall partition between the battery compartment and the storage bin. The red key is held in the "on" position by a locking spring, and the key can be removed when it is "off". The...

Greetings - We live in Willow, about 70 miles north of Anchorage (way out in the woods with the moose and the bears). Will try the pics again - brand new lap top with Windows 7 which works great, but am still getting my Nikon photo software installed to manage my didgital photos. Hopefully you...

Good Morning patrick1945. I installed a battery switch on my 3055 against the forward storage bin wall - just aft of the battery comparetment. The switch can be reached by opening the large storage area bin. I installed the switch (from Harbor Freight, less than $10.00) so it goes between the...

Richard, Have you considered mounting your generator in the back of your pick-up??? We mounted our Honda 3000 on the passenger side, right behind the cab. The gen was bolted to the bed with aviation stainless self locking hardware - holes drilled where there was no interference from the frame...

Re: landing gear? Had a similar problem, but it was resolved with a new gear box replacement. The gear legs were removed, cleaned, inspected, and lubed as part of our normal maintenance. When the second gear box failed, switched to the Rieco-Titan electic leveling system 3 months ago. Jst...

Remarks about the 3055rl model. We have 2008 3055rl, and use a F-350 Diesel SRW with the increased 11,400 GVW, 16,000 lb Reese hitch and the unit sits very level when hooked up to the truck - which keeps the weight pretty even on both 5th wheel axels. It looks like the pin box on the 5th wheel...

SouthernNights - sorry about the late response - but it looks like you already have the system installed!!! Good Job!! Our controller was placed on the forward wall of the main storage bin on the door side. Just forward of that wall, on the other side of it, is the battery/slide control...

Mark - will try and upload some photos within the next couple of days. Their web site is riecotitan.com for more info until I can get the photos done. Take care.

We had the new wireless leveling jacks installed 10 days ago, and so far the jacks have worked "as advertised" without any problems. The system is very easy to use and is much faster than the original equipment. The installation of the rear jacks (on our 2008 3055RL Bighorn) was complicated by...

Follow-up report on the Rieco-Titan Ground Control Wireless Leveling System. We had the system installed at RV Capital Services in Elkhart, IN and so far are very satisfied with the system. The installation required the assistance of the Rieco-Titan tech rep, as the frame on our 2008 Bighorn...

Thanks to everyone for your inputs!!! We are going to have the jacks installed today, and after using them for the rest of our trip we will post a review with all the pros and cons of the system.
