    3055 Weight Distribution

    As my tires on my 3055 have shown much more tread wear on the left side than on the right I was wondering if it may be a weight distribution issue. For any of you 3055 owners that had your rig weighted at the ralley, I was wondering if it showed heavier on the leftside than the right. With the...

    Best replacement tire?

    I just ordered a set of Maxxis Tires. They seem to have a pretty good reputation on all forums and they are reasonably priced. My old tires are Loadstars and they have about 14,000 miles on them and no blowouts. The two on the left side have worn considerably with the rear ones tread wearing the...

    Carlyle 'E' Tires

    I visited a local tire dealer today and they was promoting the Carlisle E rated ST235-80-16 tires. They also had a Carlisle 12 ply F rated tire with a 3900 lb capacity that could be order. Has anyone out there had any experience with the Carlisle tire? Is it any good or is it just another China...

    Help keep blowing tires what to do????

    mxrider If you are blowing tires with only 1000 miles, I do not believe it can be an issue with the tires itself. It has got to be something mechanical.......alignment, bad valve stems, cracked rim, tire rubbing on something, etc. As bad as China Bombs are, they still will go longer than a...

    New tires for the Bighorn

    Boca, Lippert did check my suspension for the Lippert components, but as I have Mor Ryde they did not check those components nor the alignment.

    Using USB Datacard near US Borders

    I agree with Oldlthrneck...................Verizon should have adjusted the charges completely without doing the "bait and switch routine"! It is their technical inadequacy that this happens. After all, in this day and age they can pinpoint your exact location and determine that you are in the...

    BigHorn AC vibration

    Abinns Check the squirrel cage on the fan for dirt dobbers nest. The exact same thing happened to a friend of mine last fall when we arrived at a GS ralley. His unit had been parked in storage for a couple of months and he did not check out the AC before he left. When he fired up the AC it...

    Nightmare trip thanks to goodyear marathons

    On various forums I can not remember reading any bad things about the Maxxis tires; however, these tires do not seem to be widely distributed. Are these tires good enough to pay the shipping to get them and to pay the premium it will cost to have them mounted at a tire dealer due to not buying...

    Fueling while pulling a large 5er

    What really does not make a bit of sense is putting these darn 26 gallon tanks in trucks. Diesels are made for pulling/hauling and putting such a small tank in them is ludicrous.

    New tires for the Bighorn

    Looks like I will have to replace my tires also; however, they are the original Karrier Loadstars with 14,000 miles and the replacement need does not seem to be a tire issue. After returning from the Rally I noticed that on my off door side the front tire has worn significantly on the inside...

    skinky poo

    The only thing that should be an issue is the toliet? even if its the toliet, I leave the fan onand that should draw out the smell. can anyone give me ideals to check on why I am getting this skinky smell. I have found if you leave the exaust fan on all the time sometimes it will actually...

    actual length of the 3055RL

    Hi Sue, My storage lot did an ingenious thing (ha) and decided they would start billing by the foot. Supposedly they measured tip to stern (ie, from the tip of the king pin to the ladder on the rear) and they billed me for 36 ft. So if you subtract the 6 - 8 inches for the ladder and the 10...

    Mor/Ryde Systems...

    John, I think that is an exellent question as to why purchasers have to deal with all the various vendors when their units components fail. Like you stated, in the auto industry they do not. One might would say that it is because Heartlands/SOB warranty is only one year and many of the...

    satellite tv - feed bedroom and livingroom from 1 receiver

    The real question is how do you get the signal from the living room area to the bedroom. On my unit the satelite feed from the docking station only feeds the living room so that is where the receiver is. The cabletv feed from the docking station will not work for the satelite due to splitters in...

    Campgounds around St. Louis..

    BC, I retired from St. Louis 3 years ago and go back there a few times a year to visit grand kids. I will tell you there is not a great abundance of CG's there. We stay at the Belleville Mobile Home Park in Fenton when we go there. The park does not have any CG amenities but it does have good...

    Could Have Been Ugly!!!!

    Taz Devil Has anyone ever gotten a logical explanation as to what causes these bubbles on the tires. Your tire obviously has plenty of tread which indicates that they do not have a lot of miles on them. I have the Loadstars also, and they currently have about 12,000 miles on them. They still...

    Free Offer From The NRA......

    The shelves have been empty lately. According to the news there is a mad rush on ammo and the stores can't say when they will get more stock. An industry that is going gangbusters............but look out, the WH will certainly squish this one also!!!!

    Retracting slides

    Skyguy The bottom line here is this is not a normal operating process and needs to be repaired. You just took delivery on a new 2010 BH and you should not have to be getting suggestions and advise on how to fix it......Take it back to dealer and have it corrected. If dealer continues to imply...

    What have I done??!!

    My 08 does not show the "Regen" message either. A friend with a 08 said he received a recall notice that had the reprogramming and a radiator mod. I have not received the notice so I checked my vin on the Ford Website and it said there was no recalls on my truck. If their website is accurate...

    The agent was being very conservative by saying "a lot" from Michigan!!!!! Michigan, Wisc. and Ohio seem to be the majority around Crossville. Me being a retiree transplant from Mo., I am really a odd ball!!!!!

    Tire shredded

    I currently have approx. 12,000 miles on my Loadstars and 2.5 years. I currently run with a Pressure Pro and I will say that I have never had to add any air except for the climate adjustments from summer to winter.

    Bedroom A/C

    As the main unit is also cooling the bedroom through the ducts, the bedroom gets directly cooled by both units. That explains why the bedroom unit cycles so quickly unless the temperatures/sun is extremely hot.

    Timbrens Installed

    I have put them on my last two trucks and they work great in my opinion. If installed as instructed with the 3/4 inch space they are transparent when truck is not loaded..........no effect on empty ride. When loaded, they give support reducing truck swag significantly and eliminates the...

    Gulf Shores, Alabama sightings

    Poll: If in the Market, Would You Buy Another Heartland

With this in mind and with the quality issues that I have experienced with my Heartland product, I probably...

    Starting antifreeze into water lines

    On my 2007 3055 there are 5 valves that need to be turned to winterize. There are 3 for the HW bypass, there is one to close the line to the FW tank and there is one to open the pickup tube for the antifreeze. No priming is ever needed. I agree with the earlier post that you probably did not...

    Installing Timbrens

    I have installed Timbrens on my last two vehicles and there is absolutely no need to remove the wheels or to jack the truck at all. The Timbrens are not in contact with the suspension at all when the truck is not under load. It took me 30 - 45 minutes to install my timbrens just crawling under...

    Cracks on Loadstar tires...

I'm midway on a trip, so I hope I dont have a separation before I return home next month. I guess its time to replace them, although it really goes against...
