I assume you mean the twist lock connector built in to the side of the RV. I took mine apart at midnight a couple of weeks ago. I found that all the lugs holding the wires were loose. The hot had come completely out of the lug and that is why I lost power. Mine had four screws attaching the...

Hi Tom, Please add Bob and Sue Lawson to the list of attendees. We may come in a day early, do we need to contact the camp ground directly?

Great job Jim. You were very poised and professional looking. How many takes? ;)

Hi Jay, Sue Lawson and Bob Lawson will be there. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

HI Jay, Bob and Sue Lawson will be attending the rally in April. Please put us on the list. It will be good to see everyone again.

I have had the TST system for 1.5 years now. (Not the new 507 model) When it is working; it works very well. With the supplied extra "T" antenna, I can usually even get the signal from my BH spare tire. It does lose that signal occasionally. I have not been able to figure out a pattern. I...

Doing this on phone for 1st time. Hope it works. Sue and I will be there for the rally. We have park reserv. T-shirts should both be Large. Haven't seen you since last year. Will be good to catch up!

Jay and all, It looks like we will have to miss the rally this spring.:mad: Startup at the plant from a 3 week turnaround is that week. I will be working long hours.:o Sorry to miss it. I know you will all have a good time. We are going to Valentines day in hill country. See you there it...

I had mine weighed at the Goshen rally. The person who weighed it commented on how closely matched it was from side to side. I don't remember the exact weights (print out is in the trailer), but they were very even side to side and on front vs rear axles.

coming to the rally Hi Jay, Sue and I will be at the October rally in Spring. Looking forward to another relaxing weekend. Coming in on Friday. It has got to be cooler than it was up at Lake Livingston!!!:eek: See you then.

phoenix50 That is the ODS basement door on a BH 3055RL which is a side hinged door. Probably the picture is a little confusing. The picture with the latch shown is looking aft along the side of the trailer. The closed door is the propane door. If it wasn't for that door's latch, a shorter...

I talked to NTB about getting metal stems installed. The only thing they had was stems where the part that connects to the wheel is rubber that is pulled through the hole like a normal stem but has what looks like a brass end on it where the sensor would be screwed on. I tried to explain that...

If your dealer did not do it; you should definitely shock the entire water system with bleach to try and sanitize it. This is even done to brand new houses before first use. This should include ALL the water piping including the hot water heater, ice maker and supplies to all faucets and...

I hear you! I have big lime green fluorescent noodles on my bedroom slide and I STILL manage to hit my head on it somehow. It is still embarrassing, it just doesn't hurt so much.:o

Well, I finally got tired of being hit in the butt by the basement door while doing my husbandly duties of hooking and unhooking. (Sure wish DW would help, but that is a different thread:rolleyes:) I added a latch to hold the door in the open position. Used a 6" t-latch similar to the one for...

strawberry pie DW made the pie; but it so simple even I can do.:rolleyes: Buy premade pie crust and bake per directions. (Course I prefer DW's homemade crust, but that takes time:cool:) Let it cool. Could be done days earlier. DW baked that one at home before we left. Use large pack of...

Well thanks to this thread, I finally got the DW to try her hand. On the way home from the Spring Rally I pulled over on the toll road and she took over. She did great, just as I knew she would. Managed to make it through several expressway changes and exit on to the surface streets. Drove...

I have an 06 F-250 and I am slightly overloaded on rear axle. I am pulling a 3055RL. I would assume from the model numbers that yours would be longer and heavier than mine. So I would guess you also would be overloaded on rear axle. My next truck will be a 350 dually.:D

I don't have a North Trail, but in my previous TT sob, I purchased good quality plastic bins with tight fitting lids. I stored my hoses in these. Of course, I tried to drain as much as possible before putting in the bin, but there was still liquid. Use rubber gloves and tried to leave open to...

You are getting numbers very similar to mine. overloaded on total, but under on each axle. If I knew that what I know now; I would have a 1ton dually. The pin weights will ALWAYS be a lot higher than published. As you can see, yours are about 1000 lbs more than published. Same for mine...

I will see what I can do from memory. First, did you push the red button on the front TV antenna to get the booster on? As I recall, if it lights up (depressed?), that is for over the air. Then the horrid Olevia menu system. Push menu on remote and a little wheel looking thing pops up...

You cannot get to the pantry door to the left of the refrigerator at all with the slide in. Nice thing is with the valves on the hydraulic unit; you can open just the big slide and just open a little to get full access to refig if more is needed. Without the valves that slide is the last to move.

I would call it pin weight of 3320. (4960lbs + 6780lbs)- (4880 + 3540) = 3320. Your trailer put a small amount of extra weight on the front axle as expected. Don't know what your trailer is, but doesn't seem hugely out of line.

I plan to upgrade to a DRW when I decide to change out. I am pretty sure the SRW will handle your immediate needs with the 3055RL; but what if you decide you need to upgrade in the future. The DRW costs more upfront, costs more to operate and maintain and is a pain to drive around town; but it...

In my 09 3055RL, the subwoofer is a big black box in the cabinet on the left side under the desk. I understand if you have a fireplace that the speaker is behind that. I don't have a fireplace. On my stereo system there is a button on the remote that "tests" the speakers. It generates a tone...

I have not done this before so I hope this works. See the link below for my truck/5er weights. //heartlandowners.org/showthread.php?t=5880 In case it doesn't work, here is the short answer. 2006 F-250 crew cab, SRW, super duty, short bed, 6.0l turbodiesel 2009 Bighorn 3055RL All loaded up...

Michigandsl I believe you have the math correct. Surprising isn't it? I bought my F-250 first then bought my BH 3055. When I weighed the packed unit I was surprised to find myself overloaded on the rear axle, not the front axle, not the total weight? Doesn't make sense to me but that is...

You can include our names.

When I picked up my BH, I found the tool, but it would not fit onto the crank. The dealer did some grinding/modifications to it so that it would fit. Then I lowered the tire and had the dealer turn it over so the stem was facing down so I could maintain pressure. Checked the pressure, and it...

Hi Jay, Put Sue and Bob Lawson down for a site. We have contacted Rayford and have a reservation. Looking forward to more fun again this time. We really enjoyed October. See you soon.

HI Chris and congratulations. I went out and took some measurements on my 3055RL. It is in the shed so the slides were not all the way out so some of these measurements are really additions and subtractions. (wish I had a simple drawing program, I could draw it up.) I will try to describe...

Sue made us one of those shades to add to the awning. Went to Home Depot and bought a box of outdoor awning material. Bought a length of screen spline material. Sue sewed the spline in to a hem on the awning material. Now it slides into the groove very easily. A quick tie holds it in place. Now...

Got mine in San Antonio at a spring shop that had been there forever. Thier QC guy looked at the install and had the same concern about the shock mount. After scratching our heads awhile we decided to grind off the sharp corner on the shock mount. There might still be contact on a hard...

We did a mid point between these. First we found a place that would make a custom size mattress. Not an unreasonable price. Try looking for custom boat fitters. They all need a custom size/shape mattress. I found two on the south side of Houston. Then I cut the top platform down to just...

No problems for me. Not even particularly slow.

If you go to the Lippert site and look at recommendations on the slide mechanism; they recommend storing the slides in the closed position if storing for "long" periods. Of course I did not see a definition of "long". Personally, if I was storing outside; I would always pull them in. I...

You have noted the negatives to the power awning. I have not found a way around either of them. On the other hand, I find myself using the awning more than when I had a manual one. It is so easy to just push the button and in or out it goes. No more remembering which levers to push, buttons...

I am really anxious to get there. Unfortunately, since we are still working it won't be until mid afternoon Friday. After this week, I need some down time:eek: This will be our first rally with our new BH and I am really looking forward to putting faces with all the forum members. Don't...

Wittmeba, Sorry, I just now saw your August posting. Did not intentionally ignore you, it just some how did not show up:confused: Since this original post, I have reweighed at a different CAT scale. This time I got front and read truck axle weights. Confirmed that I am overloaded a few...

We made it through the night. Got a little sleep. The daughter who stayed in Clear Lake got out a quick call saying they were all safe and sound, but lots of cleanup to come. No power but from generator. Breathing a big sigh of relief. Now worrying about our home in Alvin. Probably OK...
