While packing for first trip after winter, I noticed a chirping that seemed to come from the smoke detector, but when I checked, there was no place for batteries, and it appears to be hardwired into the battery. Do they do that? The sound comes about every minute and doesn't sound like an alarm...

I've seen a lot of people saying the Sailun tires are great trailer tires, and of course, there are the venerable goodyear g series. Why do all the tv tire buyers go for Michelin, are these great trailer tires not good for trucks?

I'd like to have one of those boxes on a platform to carry my generator on the back of our 2009 Bighorn, but ours didn't come with a hitch receiver to add the box. Can any unit be retrofitted with a hitch receiver to add one of these platforms/boxes?

Dumb question but I'm still tired from moving and got all the slides out and stuff strewn around and found out I wasn't even and have to move again. Can I move the trailer with all the slides still out? I've seen another manufacturer do it, but haven't had the pleasure of being at the Heartland...

Does it damage anything if you leave your city water on while you run your pump? Like if you want a stronger shower, but don't want to go outside to turn off the city water?

Does anyone have the Porta steps who travels, rather than stay in one spot? I bought some and they are so nice, but too unwieldy to be hauling in and out very much. I did figure out a way to put them in the door, rather than have to carry them to the truck, but does anyone have any "hacks" for...

We have a 2011 Bighorn 3055 RL and have a leak coming out of the wood covered box that you bump your head on when you get into the side storage compartment. Thought it would be something that would stop when we emptied the gray water(thanks trailer gods for not making it black water), but it has...

Hope someone can keep me from having to stay on hold with Lippert 15 min then get cut off - frustrating experience. We sheared the shear pin on the square rod that connects the two tracks that push the slide room in and out. Found the pin and put it back long enough to move the room, but was...

We replace the bulbs in our reading lamp frequently, so got LED automotive bulbs to try, but they wouldn't light, and affected the other lights in the slide, turning them on and off instead of the lamp. Sounds like a faulty circuit to do that, but has anyone else tried automotive bulbs in their...

My cigarette lighter plug broke. Can I cut the wires and splice one of these: Roadpro 12V Fused Replacement Cigarette Lighter Plug with Leads tia Bob

I want to remove the small cabinet over the chest that frames the TV booster in the bedroom of our Bighorn 3055RL, but it seems to be "stuck to the wall". I removed the 3 visible screws from the inside frame and it loosened a bit, but seems to not come off. Do they attach these cabinets from the...

Took a nice long shower today and noticed the water coming up around my ankles, so thought I better go drain the grey. When I got outside, the water was coming through the belly. It quit as soon as I got the drain going, but it made me wonder - shouldn't the water come up into the shower, and...

Our sliding closet doors weren't locked closed, and something evidently got between them - cracked one, and I think they both broke off the nylon slide on the bottom. Has anyone ever tried to fix this situation? The pics are of the top fixture, which has a roller, but I think on the bottom, they...

Couldn't decide where to put this, but seemed most appropriate in the slideout section, as the bed in our slideout didn't move out with the slide this afternoon. I pushed it, and it moved easily into place, but wonder if there's a connection under the bed that has come loose? Trailer is a 34'...

In trying to solve another issue, we mixed up the breakers in the box, so no longer know which one is to the converter - how can you tell if the converter is running? We need to turn off the converter to run with the batteries.

We hooked up to a 20 amp circuit and it worked fine for an hour or so, then tripped the house breaker, and continued to trip everything we plugged it into, even after turning off the main breaker in the panel. The ground in the power plug burned a little, but after taking the plug out of the...

OK, I want to be able to get out in the woods, and have a solar system/honda 2000 to do it with. However, the solar system won't work if we park in the shade, and the generator is too heavy to wrestle out of the trailer and too light to leave in the truck and get stolen, and won't run the a/c...

We winterized our trailer a month ago, then discovered we hadn't run the outside shower, so pumped a little through that till it came out pink. Then later we decided we ought to add some antifreeze since it might have shorted the system of antifreeze to run it through that outside shower. Tried...

Our cold water faucet in the bathroom smells like rotten eggs, but the hot water is OK and all the other faucets. Should we just sanitize the lines by sticking the winterizing line into a bottle of Clorox?

We're staying at a national forest campground, and have to drive 10 miles on a dirt road to dump - are the BH holding tanks designed to hold up to this kind of abuse, or should we buy a $40 dollar camp site to dump in, instead of the dirt road?

Have seen all kind of possible repairs to the buillt-in vacuum not turning off - but came up with the simplest - unplug it!. It's plugged into a plug behind the wall and you can unplug it, then pull the plug out into the main part ot the basement and plug it into the basement outlet to use it...

We took off the cabinet over the sink in the br and cut down the size of the sides so it wouldn't stick out so far, but now it has come back to bite us. Evidently the screws didn't go into interior studs, because it is starting to come down. The top has pulled away from the ceiling. Have it...

Does this work well? And what kind of clamps would you use?

Our awning arm sometimes "sticks" and has to be pulled away manually. I've tried waxing the edges, but am reluctant to try too hard to loosen the edges because it might pull away while traveling. The only thing I have thought to do is drill a hole in the front of the arm and knot a "pull cord"...

Our owner's manual for our awning calls it an "8950" power awning, but can't find any info on this model, seems to be a step down from the 9100. Ours has a power unit on one arm, and the other side "sticks" when I hit the button to extend it. Has anybody else had this problem and fixed it? Seems...

We have a clog in our black water valve, as our drain won't close all the way. Our plan is to get a "flush king" and close the outer valve, then open the main valve and inject enough water to get up into the valve and let it sit till it loosens the clog and it floats happily away. Does this...

It just now got warm enough to run the a/c for any length of time, and it is acting a little strange. It "skips" every so often, hesitates as though it is going to go off, then begins running again. Does this sound OK?

Anybody have a good method of locking up their 2000 Honda gen in the truck bed? They're so light anyone could walk off with them, but would sure like to have it in the bed.

In our 2011 BH 3055, the way the sink is situated in relation to the medicine cabinet, it is impossible to wet shave and extremely difficult to brush your teeth or wash your face. I am 5'11" and I have to bend over and put my face in the sink to avoid hitting the medicine cabinet. Any ideas to...

Anyone use 3 step rugs - we're having trouble closing up our steps cause they're too thick. Any solution besides taking one off? Our steps are 8 1/8 inches between steps; I don't know if there is a standard distance. We got the plush ones from Camping World.

We just noticed that we evidently wasted our money on those fancy electric stabilizers in the back. Our trailer is so solid, I doubt we'll even use them. Interesting, though, the axles are about 3 inches farther apart than the old trailer - do you think that is what makes it so stable?

While studying on a way to attach a small shelf for glasses, kleenex, etc, over the bed, it occurred to me that you might be able to use the top of the valance for this purpose. Has anyone ever tried that, or have another solution for me to attach a little shelf(I have the shelf), without...

On our previous trailers(SOB) there was a valve to turn to put water in the fresh water tank when connected to city water. Is there such a thing with the Bighorns? Bob

As I mentioned in another thread, we are checking our water systems now since the water was frozen during our PDI. Before turning on the water, I was putting the hose down the commode and while turning the nozzle to turn it on a part unscrewed instead and fell down into the tank. There is no...

I went out to move the trailer and after I backed into hitch and retracted the landing gear the trailer moved some and somehow inhibited the right landing gear from getting off the ground. I repeated the process and got the same result. I just had some rocks between the tires because our...

When we did our PDI on our 2011 Bighorn 3055 the water system was frozen at the dealership so we couldn't fill the tanks like we wanted to do. Now at home attached to city water we started to fill the shower/br grey tank #1. After about 10 minutes the guage said 1/3 and after another 10 minutes...

I think someone got away with one of our sections of wand for the vacuum, did everybody get two sections, or are you supposed to bend over and use the one that will send you to the chiropractor?

Our Bighorn 3055 arrived yesterday and our PDI was scheduled for Tuesday. The weather forecast is for snow flurries and lows in the mid to low teens. Our dealer is only 30 miles from our home so I told them we would come in Monday for a walkthru and pay them. We are going to re-schedule the PDI...

Is there anything you can nail up into the walls? Weight limit?Depth limit? Or just limit it to the stick-up hooks?

We didn't order a tv for the bedroom, as we have a couple from the other trailer, but now are wondering if we should get one just to get the holder. Did anybody not order the bedroom tv and still get the holder?
