This has served me well for several years. I run my RV tires at 105 PSI. --------------------- http://www.amazon.com/Industries-MV50-SuperFlow-12-Volt-Compressor/dp/B000BM8RT8/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1434246775&sr=8-20&keywords=dc+air+compressor

FYI - I am in the Houston area and have used Russell RV in Conroe several times. They only do repair work and no RV sales. They are excellent and are an authorized USAA repair station. Had a new roof put on once and $11,000 damage due to Chinese bomb tires repaired. Timely and courteous. Mike is...

Porthole, I like the way you are thinking. I'm going to do it the way you suggested and since the transfer switch wiring already goes into the front storage bay I only need a short amount of wire. I use a reliance control six circuit manual transfer switch for my home so I already have a cable...

I understanding your way of thinking but for a short overnight stay in the boondocks it's a real pain to drag the monster 50 amp cable out of storage and drag it to the back and then crouch again between the unhitched truck and rv to stow it again. I'm an old man and wife won't do it. Just...

Randy, by breaker box side I assume you me "line" side - just make sure I use the "generator" side L1 and L2. Steve S

Oh yeah, I am not using any type of electrical management system!

Re: Transffer Switch Thanks Dave, In my previous post I said L1 & L2 connected to the hot on the 3 wire pigtail which would be the same as a jumper. Thanks, I'll give it a smoke test later. One last question. If my transfer switch is behind the panel in the garage near the converter then am I...

Re: Transffer Switch Thanks all for the help. I will check this morning for the location. Next question - My Bighorn is equipped with 50 amp service so I will assume my transfer switch is a 50 amp transfer switch. I would like to use my two Honda EU200i generators in parallel located in my...

Hopefully someone can help me. I have a 2008 Bighorn 3055RL. It has the generator prep option installed. My question is, do I have a transfer switch and if so where would it be located? Thanks in advance. Steve S.

ricatic, That is good news. My diesel guy doesn't do the remove the cab thingie but the ford dealers here in my houston area do. He just made a lot of money because of the early problems with the 6 and 6.4 engines. I have been watching the new ford diesel. It looks promising. I am going to let...

Just curious, I find all three manufacturers have their good and bat points. My tow vehicle is a 2000 Ford F-230, 7.3 liter diesel, crew cab, long bed, four wheel drive and is paid for. Works great and should last a long time. Sixty thousand dollars for a new one is way over my budget and...

This works great for us and the price was right. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Serta-Ultimate-4-inch-Memory-Foam-Mattress-Topper/1657609/product.html

I totally agree. I Use a bottle jack the same way without the angle iron. I don't weld very well. I just use a short 2 x 4 between the top of the jack and the bottom of the spring u-bolts. Here's the way I figure it: The spring is resting on the spacer which is resting on the top of the axle...

Try this. Works good for me! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001RGW7NO/ref=ox_ya_os_product

It is, it is a steel radial and looks and feels like a small tractor/trailer tire. Extremely strong sidewalls! Good price. Narrower tire seems to ride cooler too!

This works great for my 105 psi G rated tires. Very small and powerful. DC - operates off 12 volt battery. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Masterflow-12v-High-Volume-Air-Compressor-Inflator/12321236

My wife and I are not quite old enough for Tricare for Life (Medicare primary, Tricare secondary) but we have been using Tricare Standard for almost twenty years now. The choice of Tricare Standard and Tricare Prime is yours but I actually find that Tricare Prime may or may not be cheaper but is...

OH, OH - Disregard my poor spelling above. I am a pilot and it is a know fact that ten out of eight pilots are dyslexic. Adios!

Thanks Elevatorman, I have 6K axles and the original firebombs were 235 80 16 inch. Now the Hankooks (made in Korea) are 7.5 inches wide and slightly taller than the original and are 14 ply (G rated). They look substantial, like a smaller semi trailer tire, very heavy. The tire dealer where I...

Greetings All, On 3 Jul 2010 we were on the way to southern Illinois from Houston. Just prior to the Angelina river between Lufkin and Nacogdoches on hiway 59 I heard a pop, looked in my left mirror and saw pieces of the left front tire and trailer scattered all over the hiway and cars dodging...

Greetings from Texas, We have a Bighorn 3055RL with a 13.5 in the bedroom. During the hot summer in the sun we need both during the day. Your right about Texas being another country. My kids and grandkids live in Illinois and Indiana and I keep telling them they need to hurry up and come to...

Goo-Gone! Steve & Donna, I haven't personally used goo gone on my counter tops but I have used it on everything else that I can't get the decal or paper remnants off. Metal, glass, plastic etc. There is no guarantee but I would not hesitate to use it on my bighorn counter tops. I use it on my...

Sticker Removal! Goo-Gone from WalMart works wonders! That's my two cents! Steve S.

Overweight - Legal - Safe - Weight Police. Please don't flame me, beauty is in the eye of the beholder (weight that is). I too have a Bighorn 3055RL and a 2000 Ford F250 SRW Diesel 4x4 Crew Cab long bed pickup. The specs show a CGVWR of 20000 and a GVWR of 8800 . My last loaded CAT scale...

Ah, the old can't fill my watertank problem. I am also a newbee and have had a 2008 3055RL since last August. I have the same problem. Sometime I could only get 15 to 30 gallons in the 75 gallon tank. After some trial and error I discoved that if my RV was unlevel from side to side (leaning...
