I have to make one correction to my earlier post - we have a king sized bed vs a queen size = we wish we had gotten the queen.

We bought our 2008 BH3055 after seeing it and a Montana sitting side-by-side at a RV show in Denver - in our opinion it better met all our needs and tastes. We have taken our BH to Alaska (over 10k miles round trip) for a summer and traveled to Montana (the state) twice. We are totally...

I have the slider - have used it a couple times backing and turning on uneven ground but in reality didn't HAVE to use it - but makes me FEEL safer. My brother has knocked his back window out turning in the same place with his 5er. Have never had a non-slider to compare for "chucking" but I sure...

I have the Firestone Ride Rite and they do everything I had hoped in terms of supporting my truck and 5er!! I do find that if I ensure the bags are empty before I hitch or unhitch it makes it easier. Otherwise when I unhitch as I raise the 5er my truck bed raises as the weight lessens. Same for...

Awning Probem We picked up our new 3055 on 25 April 08 and drove it 90 miles to our home and parked it. Then on May 9th we took off for our first excursion. After about 90 miles of freeway, and heavy winds, we got off the freeway at the little town of Walsenburg CO. About a mile or so into...

Memory Foam Mat Try Sams if you have one, we have seen them there too.

We just bought the memory foam 4" topper at COSCO. King size for our "king size RV bed" = had to trim about 4" off one side but now it fits great and is a vast improvement.

Randy, I am not a purest when it comes to fishing = like all types, and almost any species. On my Alaska trip I plan to take my float tube for along the way fishing. Then a couple chatrers when I get up there. Over the years have helped subsidize Cabelas! Great store.

Pull Pin Locks That looks like the ticket for the pins on the rails. Now all I need is something for that big pin between the hitch plate and the pedistal. I also see Reese makes a lock for the kingpin = I'm thinking that may be a good investment too. Thanks for the link.

New BH in CO Randy & Kathy Out of couriosity, where did you buy your BH? We just picked up our 3055 last Friday from K&C RV in Longmont. After shopping for about a year we got a pretty good deal at the Denver RV Show.

I removed my new Reese hitch from my pick-up bed = I was amazed at how quickly I could un-pin it, both the top half with the big pin then the four pins on the bottom half. Probably less than 1 minure to take it out. I'm concerned someone else could do it just as quickly and then "own" my hitch...

New BH 3055 We picked up our BH 3055 last Friday and took it home (about 100 mi -dealer to our place). Spent thru today getting it clean to our liking and loaded. So far it is exceeding our expectations. We have a couple short shake-down cruises scheduled in the next few weeks. We will then...

Kitchen Drawers come open I picked up my BH 3055 from K & C RV Friday and drove it home, about 100 miles on freeway. When we parked and went inside we noticed 2 of the drawers open in the kitchen. The one on the right side of the stove was all the way open. We are putting our silverware it that...

Air Comp. After checking 5 different outlets here in Colorado Springs I just ordered the Sears 2 gal version Ray recommends above = best deal for the dollar that I could find.

Sears Air Compressor Ray, How will this Sears unit work for filling my float tube when I want to stop and fish?

Husky Tailgate I just got my new tailgate = based on this string I will now proceed with a good locking solution. Don't want it to "walk off"

Waste Basket Options We bought our 3055 in late January and pick it up mid-April. We too are interested in what works wrt a waste basket.

Show Purchase My wife really liked the Montana, what changed our minds was shopping at a big RV show (in Denver) where the Montana and BH were almost side by side. As we went from coach to coach we could better compare the quality of fit and finish = we now own the 3055!

king bed We have an 08 with king bed - went to COSCO and bought the 4" memory foam = works great!

Signature Retired4Fun I'm new, just bought a 3055 and was checking out the Forum - kinda like your use of the Bighorn in your signature = mind if I copy and imbelish it a bit?

Thanks, We did close on the 3055, now we are waiting for the wx to turn warmer so we can give it a shakedown cruise. I'm not going back to pick it up until they can fully demo all systems, to include water (vs anti-freeze) and I can verify there are no leaks, and heating, cooling, gas and...

I'm closing a deal on a new Bighorn 3055RL. I'll be pulling it with a Ford F-250 (diesel) short box. I'm wondering about the need for one of the special hitches (name a brand) to help soften the ride, or will the factory hitch be adequate. Thanx, Fishingicon
