Wow! Nice job, I should do that to mine just for rock damage, always thought it would been nice to have the extra protection from the factory.

I think I would open the area and look at the plumbing. The others are correct that the system "should" be a closed system but you are sure you have the correct connection in the bay. So either this was a coincidence of the valve popping or something is not plumbed correctly which would be...

Hello Razduck, Good to see more Oregon members, we are from Monmouth and look forward to meeting you at one of the rally's. I agree with the airbags I pull a 3055RL and used to have a 2500HD gas rig. The airbags were great and allowed me to set the height for a perfectly level trailer and a...

I had the same problem but in my case the dealer did forget to top off the tank during the prep. I will remember all these comments though and keep an eye on mine, lucky I don't live in the really cold areas.

This does look like allot of rust and more than I have in three years of use, I hope Lippert will take care of you. I would also ask the dealer about the underbelly attachment, mine is tight front to back ane from the oicture your looks to have big gaps already.

I am also no expert just a home hobbies but I also had about 6 or 7 of my raised panel doors split last year. I have not had any problems with drawer faces splitting. The first winter I just has swelled doors where they would not shut unless closed together, then the next year I had all the...

Hi Kristy and Mark, Congratulations on the new camper so cute. Our first granddaughter turns 1 in March and we can't wait for the first trip with Grandma and Grandpa.

One thing to remember is the advertised pin weight is with the unit empty, my 3055 Bighorn pin weight is 3100 lbs and I think the advertised weight was less than 2000 lbs.. and I do not have much extra gear loaded. The other thing is I'm not sure where you are traveling and maybe some big rig...

Good ideas, I have been thinking about sanitizing my fresh water tank but never thought about the campground spigots. You are right you never know what the previous vivitor may have done. Gross! lol

Thanks Birchwood

Thanks, Looks like I have a project coming up, I'll try magnet and I have a metal sensing stud finder so I'll try that also.

Hi All, Has anyone had any luck re-stringing the double blinds? I have an 09 3055RL and one of the small blind strings broke in the front of the main slide. I looked while on the trip and cannot even figure out how the valance is attached or if the blind head will come out some how. I saw a...

Had mine for over two years and it works great, no problems. The only thing I miss is being able to drop the manual one down against the side of the trailer for cleaning. I need to get a better broom to sweep off the needles and leaves. I do like the just pushing a button, getting lazy as I get...

I would say the 3/4 tons will pull the 3055 and I did for a few years with an 01 Chev 2500HD. You need to be careful though as loaded my pin weight is 3100lbs which was over the rating for the truck. I just bought a 3500 dually and have plenty of room now but really the old truck pulled well but...

My '09 bighorn has one of each, the main TV is 120v only but the bedroom TV is 12v with an adaptor as mentioned above. The problem is at least in mine Heartland did not wire a 12 volt plug so I am stuck. I need to change out the plate with the antenna booster for one with a 12 volt plug which...

Hi, I just purchased a '11 GMC 3500HD Dually and was worried about the fit also. I have not towed yet but hooked it up on the pad last week and will be towing this weekend. I had a '01 Chevy 2500 HD before and I had to raise the hitch 1 inch which puts me 3/8 of an inch lower than the old setup...

John, thanks for the pics of your rig, the 2007 to 2011 have the same body so mine should hook up just like yours.

I have not tried with my bighorn but with my old towable with a 13.5 A/C I ran it in many parks with only 15 amp. This is pushing the limit but as long as I did not try to run the microwave I was fine and did not damage the A/C unbit or ever trip a breaker.

Nice to be back on the forum, I am picking up a 2011 GMC 3500 DRW tomorrow and kind of sad to give up the Prodigy which was great but I hate to add holes to the new truck witha integrated controller already there. I have an '09 3055RL and from this I think I'll start my tests at level 5. Thanks

I hope the positive answers hold out here, I pick up my 2011 GMC 3500 Dually tomorrow and have been concerned since I am moving from a 2001 2500 and I see the bed is just about 2" higher. Looking at the spring setup it looks like it will settle a bit right off to hit the main spring set and I...

I have until tomorrow a '01 Chevy 2500HD with the 8.1L, I added airbags and the truck pulled very well. I have the 3055RL and the truck topped 10K on the scales with a 9.2K rating. The gas milage was also poor at 6 in the hills and 8 the best I got on flat interstate. I think it was the milage...

Larry, Best of luck in Feb and our prayers will be with you. I have been away from the forum for what seems like forever and it was sad to read about your back problems today. I hope to see you at a rally with the new rig soon.

Re: Sprasy in bed liner Thanks everyone I will go with the advise and have the bedliner sprayed first. Now if picking up tje truck goes well tomorrow I will be on my way.

I am picking up a new truck tomorrow and plan to have a spay in bed liner put in. My original thought was to have the hitch rails mounted first and then spray around them to keep a metal to metal contact. I have read the reese hitch instructions and done some on line research and it appears that...

Thanks that is good advice. I don't think I'll take this apart but just glue, clamd and staple. The other doors are more an annoyance and I can live with them. It is funny I had my cheap lightweight trailer for ten years and never had this happen. I think the fact that this is the door with the...

Thanks for the advice. I agree it looks like no glue in the joint and just two small brads were holding it together. Don't know of a good way to get the other sides apart or I would open it up and shave the sides down. It has been in the house dry and heated but is drying out slow. I did have...

Hello All, Has anyone else had their cabinet doors fail during storage. I had the BH covered from Nov through Feb this year and our winter in Oregon was not bad at all. The frames on several doors are separatiing and one corner came completely apart. (attached picture) It seems that the panels...

Hi Kristy, We voted in the poll but would be fine with any of the choice. We do like the clothing option with the logo rather than cash for the keepsake.

Hi Kristy, We will be there again this year, wanted a ocean view this year so did not make it into the center but just a site or two down in the section you were in last year. On the way out the door now but will send all the details as soon as I can. We are arriving Thursday and leaving Monday.

Congatulations on the new 5'er hope you enjoy it as much as we do. We must be neighbors we live in Monmouth. Hope you can make iot to the rally in June.

Preference Hi Kristy, I voted but I did not see a way to give my preference. Even though I can make either one the 25th would be better.

I also agree witrh checking the ground wires at the junction box. I recently had a misshap where my trailer lead hooked on the ball hitch while disconnecting the 5'r. When rewiring I found I believe three ground leads going to the trailer and my guess is one of these has lost it's connection...

Hi Jim, I would also be interested in one of these. Thanks

Please take care and let us all know when you can what is happening. We look forward to hearing from you and will think of you and send prayers every day. Chuck just found out that he has two hernias in his esophagus so it must be the season for esophagus problems. Chuck and Deb Richard

Hi Gaffer, Welcome to the Heartland family and the Oregon Heartland family. Don't think we'll be out during the Holidays but am sure you will enjoy your 3055 as much as we do. Chuck and Deb

Thanks for the post, my inside fitting may have the same problem. I can get it to work sometimes by wiggling the hose around but it does not stay on. Looks like I have a task thie weekend.

Seems pretty strange to me with a TT all that stuff would fit in the truck. Wonder what the strain is on the frame with the extra leveage.

I have the same model trailer as Debbie and did have my gearbox break I also believe from running the gear all the way up. A 1/4 inch is not much but if it is visibly more than before you could have cracked the housing and it will only get worse. Mine was moving more than an inch when I noticed...

If it really is only 18 watts per speaker then the power output is indeed wimpy. I would look into a replacement with more power and then see if the speaker need changing also. Did you happen to see what the current ones are rated at?

I was told when we bought ours last year that the awning could move and if needed one side will dip down to drain. I believe the guy at the dealer showed us this by pulling down on one end. Have never tested it yet in heavy rain but no problems with the rain we have been through.
