I do not have dual panes in my 3055 and I have not experienced any significant condensation problems. I have spent a lot of winter time in our BH and only experienced window condensation one time in Gulf Shores and the humidity was about 90% and somewhat warm (just prior to a cold front moving...

I am now on my third Sylvania microwave. I complained and requested a Dometic for the third replacement but Heartland sent another Sylvania. My warranty is now past so I will obviously use this one until it craps out and then have to buy something different.

Mine broke also...............I'm not sure if I'm going to replace them as I have not really used it much. In its original position it was mounted so much lower than the counter top that it was more awkward than useful. I had thought I would remount it higher but if its $50 for a replacement...

Bob The low point drains only drain the water lines. The gravity tank drain is on the off door side coming through the belly. It has a valve on it. I have difficulties draining my tank also. It tends to develop a sagging bottom so the nose of the trailer has to been lowered significantly to...

I am considering purchasing a tire monitoring system. Doran has come out with their own system this year that is comparable to the Pressure Pro system. Has anyone had any experience with the new Doran system or can anyone provide a comparison between the two? Guess I should have read previous...

Morganm12 I overfilled my kitchen holding tank once (trickling in freezing temps) and it leaked badly around the sink trap joints. Easy to get to for tightening......shower would be a different story! OH, did I mention that trickling a faucet overnight will definately fill a tank!!!!!!!! Bad...

fivernine Let us know how it goes........have been tempted for several years to attend but seems just too large.

Thats the way mine is also. The forward jack is the one in the ceiling and the aft one goes to the entertainment center in the living room. There is none to the bedroom.

BlairV I had the same problem. The leak (smell) appeared to be in the regulator compartment area so the dealer worked on it without success......I then changed the regulator and still leaked. After sniffing (literally) around connections, I found the leak was a cracked (over torgued) brass...

I'm really envious of all the MPG's that everyone is still getting. I was getting 11-12 pulling my BH but the past two trips this winter the best I got was 9.5 MPG. Both of these trips I could only find Ultra low sulphur were as I was burning low sulphur when I was getting the 11-12...

I have the slider in my truck but I have never seen a situation that I need it. I do use in on occasion when backing into a tight turn (my driveway) just because the trailer is more responsive to the truck. I have backed into the driveway with the slider in both positions and have never come...

I agree completely with what JP said earlier. We have enjoyed our unit and our dealer (RV's for Less) has been great; however, its whats beneath the surface that concerns me. Now that our unit is a little over a year old quality issues keep surfacing. For instance, last week I noticed that...

LaurieK Are you by chance in Island Retreat? If so, I was one of those Bighorns you spotted. We sadly pulled out on Sunday and returned to Tennessee. If the Sundance that was in that park was you, maybe we will see you at the Rally in Branson......one of the other Big Horns that was in the...

Goldenwingers, I've seen this happen on a Big Horn and a Landmark and have read on the forum about it happening on all of the other 5vers.

Steve, This is an apparent problem with our units. At the Southeast ralley I had the same problem as well as a Landmark unit. There has been many postings on this forum about this problem. I replaced both of mine with fiber self locking nuts and used loc-tite with them. Note, that the self...

Heading out tomorrow and I will be trying a fuel additive to see if my mileage improves from my December trip. If it does, I think that will be proof that it is the ULSD that is causing our drops in mileage. Will keep everyone adivsed.

If you are running the furnace with any frequency I would not look for more than a 24 hour period on one battery.......without the furnace and using energy for just lights, you could look at several days. Be careful about pulling the battery down too low; you will not be able to get the slides...

Kashman, I had some issues with my propane that seems to mimick yours. I found a cracked brass nipple where the flexible hose joins the galvanized propane pipes so check these if you are still having leak issues.....you should be able to smell the propane around this area. As far as the half...

I've seen a definate drop from 2 - 3 mpg since I have had to burn the ULSD. My mileage towing the BH has always been around 12/mpg and my last trip over Xmas (900 miles) I only averaged 9.25 mpg. This was my first trip that I had to run ULSD totally.

I am on my third microwave. Heartland replaced both while under warranty and now I am hoping this one will last; although, I'm not holding my breath. I was in J.C. Penny's the other day looking at the Cooks brand previously mentioned and it is currently on sale for $99.

Jonesj2 I used a Sabre saw with a fine tooth metal cutting blade to cut the rounded corners which worked great....just had to do some light sanding on the edge after the cut.

As with all 5vers, what exactly does the published length represent? Ironically, the storage lot where I store my 3055 just did a audit of the units in their place (they charge by the foot). They sent me a letter stating that they was going to charge me for 36' and the measurements was from...

Dusty, Probably a smart decision.........atleast unless someone else attest to making the trip without incidence. By the way, I would suggest that your rig is closer to 13'; mine is. I crunched the A/C shroud on my previous motorhome in a low underpass; so, I dont even think about going...

Hi Dusty, I admire your desire to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway.........it is a beautiful drive; albeit a slow and time consuming one. I was born and raised at the foot of the Peaks of Otter in Bedford, Va. which is also at the foot of the Parkway. I spent most of my teenage life running that...

The antenna will be ok but it depends if your televisions are digital or not. In my 2007 3055 my television in the living room is digital but the television in the bedroom is not and will need a converter to work.

We have the queen bed and are glad we did. I would be very tight around the shower and sink area with the King.

GaryB, I'm also a partimer and I have the 3055 with the standard 6000 lb axle and E rated tires. I have put about 8,000 miles on the unit in a years time and "knock on wood" no issues. As a partimer, it is unlikely that you will overload the unit, so an upgrade to the axles and tires, in my...

This poll may be more representative if it were split and fulltimers had a poll and partimers had a poll. If fulltiming, you certainly would not camp less.........the RV is home, you just may move around less. Nonfulltimers are split between retired parttimers and working weekenders. I am a...

The high fuel prices are certainly reducing the number of trips that I make on an annual basis. I just returned from a one week 850 mile round trip to spend xmas with grandkids and the fuel cost is becoming cost prohibitive to continue making these long trips for short periods of time. I will...

Luckhat12 My BH also has a valve in the line from the tank to the pump that needs to be closed also or the pump just sucks air. In short, to winterize I have the three hot water heater bypass valves, one valve between tank and pump (close it), and one valve on antifreeze pickup tube (open it).

I can also attest to the "trickling a faucet" thing is not a good idea! Last winter I tried the "trickling" and in my infamous wisdom, I drained the grey tank and closed the valve overnight to keep the sewer hose from freezing up. Who would have thought that a "trickle" would fill up a holding...

My tank monitoring panel seems as if the circuit has a loose/corroded ground somewhere. The lights at times are weak, flicker and give crazy readings...............or dont work at all. Does anyone know where the circuits grounding points are located? I am sure there is at least one around the...

Jeff & Kristinia That decision is always a judgement call regardless. My fiver is the sixth ( I think) Rv that I have had and this one is the only one that I have had any of the systems/appliances fail. My microwave rolled craps three times in the first year; however, even if not under...

Del, One thing that you will see is using the furnace fan will drain the battery pretty quickly.......you may want to consider dual batteries for winter dry camping.

My furnace acted the same way last winter the next morning just after filling both propane tanks. Apparently there was moisture in the tanks and the regulator must have frozen up. Took hair dryer to regulator and all was normal.

Slarsenkem, You should still have water flowing out of your hot water faucets. The bypass valve just "bypasses" the hot water tank so you do not have to fill it with antifreeze (12 gallons worth) before pumping it into the water line. If its not flowing your lines will not be protected.

KHD995 I was in freezing temperatures last winter, some nights into the upper teens and usually above freezing during the day. The two inch hose was adequate enough to keep things from freezing in the belly but you will need to do something with the water hose coming into the trailer.

Interesting turn of events.................so what brand of "LT's" is now being factory installed now? Wonder if it is a supply issue or if the mood has changed relative to LT's and trailers?

Del, Like Sailorand said, go a little further than what you think you need. If you short yourself it makes the initial turn and the straightening up much sharper and more difficult. Pass by the driveway hugging the driveway side of the road and as you pass, start turning towards the opposite...

Chardel, I too have a 3055 and had reservations about getting it into my driveway from a standard width housing development cul-de-sac street. To relieve your concerns, it is much easier than you would think.....and a lot easier than it was to back my previous motorhome into. The primary thing...
