    Reno to Las Vegas

    Not sure if you still need info, but I live in Reno and drive to vegas often. I think I have been every route possible. 395 is no issue unless there is snow. Parts of 395 are over 8k feet. How you get across from 95 to 395 can be an issue. Going 6 to 120 is not terrible, but 120 is narrow...

    Temp adjust on the gas hot water heater?

    sorry should have mentioned its a brand new rig. I know the resets are fine, there is another black cover that seem moulded and screwed on lower down below the resets. Guess it doesnt matter whats under it lol as its not adjustable. Was just trying to not take it in to the dealer. Has...

    Temp adjust on the gas hot water heater?

    If I run strictly on gas the water does not get very hot. Its coming on and burning, but the cut off temp seems to be way below where the cut off temp is on my electric. Is there an adjustment somewhere (under that black cap perhaps?)

    Stabilize a 5th wheel

    I have the 3055rl if I am not mistaken on the alpha portion. I am not interested in buying any new system besides perhaps chocks or something similar. I am going with the x chocks or similar and using boards to level side to side I believe.

    Bighorn PDI Checklist

    No of course none of us would, but I also have seen an 18 page check list floating around here, where folks are taking ladders and torque wrenches and testing electrical circuits and such. While I am capable of doing all those things, I simply wonder at the necessity? I think many things are...

    Stabilize a 5th wheel

    So I want to drive on leveling blocks for close level side to side, chock wheels with x chocks (I think I like this option best), use landing gear up front to get front side to side level, and all of trailer front to back level, then use blocks of varying heights under my rear stabilizers to get...

    solar recharge for 2 trojan T-105s

    ok I have decided on a 135 watt panel with an upgraded charge controller so I can eventually go with 2 - 4 panels and move up to 4 batteries. For those of you who have installed them on a 3055 where did you drop the line from the roof, and where did you mount the controller?

    Stabilize a 5th wheel

    I am new to a fifth wheel and want to know about chocking or stabilizing the coach. In the past I have simply used chocks and leveling blocks under the tires on my TT and then put down the stableizers to get it right. This has worked OK depending on how much force I can put on the...

    Bighorn PDI Checklist

    guys, i have a question regarding all this. Its basicly, that I see so many of you saying you have to catch everything in your initial walk through, and then even if you do catch it, you have to document it all in writing. Isnt the coach warrantied for a year, and if so, why the fervor to...

    new 3055RL

    Heya Gaffer, I meant shorter than the jayco we were looking at. Odd thing is I went and measured my tag along trailer from the back to the truck bumper and it was 34 feet. The 3055 is 34 feet but at least thats up to the rear axle so overall its shorter than what I had. and I suspect it will...

    Nor Cal Spring Rally on hold. Ideas Please?

    I hope things are going much better for your family. If so, and I had any input, I would vote for the mountains in later summer. I am in reno so its easy for me to get to most of NC in a few hours. That way it would be a month or more past the regional rally and folks may like a mountain event.

    adding an additional 12 volt battery to my Big Horn 3055

    I havent even picked up my 3055 yet but have two T105's from my trade in trailer. so there is only one stock battery on the 3055? I saw a box on the passenger side near the hydralics...is that the only one? If you were going to put two, I assume you would have to move it to one of the...

    "Backin up" Signals........PLEASE HELP MY BLOOD PRESSURE!!!!!

    I am totally new to the forum, but have been driving trucks and trailers all my adult life. We (my wife and I) started with a bass boat where she had to back it into the water so I could run the boat. I took her out on a winter weekend and had her practice putting the boat in the water about...

    new 3055RL

    well the saga continues. We have moved from a pop up, to a jayco ultralite to this in a matter of a few years. I am pretty sure the local dealers love me. Not sure how the wife feels about me :) Anyway, I know she loves this new unit. We were torn between a jayco eagle (which was a foot...
