I guess you never read the review where they stated " and yes we had all the valves closed" Possible this would explain a bad valve seal from the factory?

My wife and I just sold a 2006 Bighorn that we bought new and modified to suite our needs and previously we owned travel trailers of various sizes and configurations. All served a purpose and met our expectations for the type of travel we were persuing. I have worked on most of the components on...

My wife and I ordered than had to cancel a new 2015, 3150 Big Country due to health issues. Are plan is to order another one this winter but after reading the review in Trailer Life magazine on the exact model we ordered I have one big concern. Why would black tank water back into the kitchen...

On a 2nd inspection of the wheels I found that they are indeed G rated with 3042 lb. rating. Again thanks for all the help...Don

Thanks for all the input. When I was adjusting the brakes a while back I thought I noticed a an E cast into the back of the rim. I'll have to double check for load rating also. Earlier models of the Bighorn came with different axles than Lippert. Mine are definitely Al-Ko Ultrulube. Happy...

I would like to replace the E rated rims on my 2006, 3055 bighorn with G rims. I believe the rim supplier for this trailer was/is Hi Spec Wheels ( HWT ). The wheels I'm looking at are hi spec series #3 16x7, 8x6.5 bolt pattern, 4.90 bore 3960# 110 psi., with an 8mm offset. Will these wheels fit...

Just found the other thread on this topic. Thanks fo the help. Don

I didn't think it would be something I could fix myself, but at least now I have some info for the dealer. I also looked for the other thread on this subject and couldn't find it. We have a 2006 model and up to this point we have had no plumbing issues. Thanks for the help

While flushing the black tank on our Bighorn 3055 my wife noticed water on the floor near the entry door. The pool of water got bigger the longer I flushed the tank. I immmediately shut off the water supply and removed the curbside access panel in the basement to expose the plumbing and...

salmon919 I don't understand your dealer telling you that d-seals aren't available for your trailer. We had are Bighorn serviced for the same problem. New seals were placed on the body of the trailer as well as the slide out wall and the original rubber sweep was adjusted down to take up more...

Hi Jim Just wanted to say I agree with your assessment of Recreational Specialties. I had our 3055 in their shop in the beginning of Sept. and found Matt and Ron to be genuinely interested in any issues I had with our Bighorn. Matt walked me through the rig as he looked at my written list of...

Vangoes We took delivery of our 2006 ,3055 in May and the first time out was in a heavy downpour. The slides did leak but were repaired by the dealer according to Heartlands specifications. Also when the slides were in the closed position some outside light was noticed in the corners at the...

The 2 Flexgard or (Flexguard) straps that carry the wires under the living room slide and curbside slide on our 3055 developed single large cracks in the 3 inch strap and nearly broke through, leaving no support for the wire looms and cable. The large slide strap cracked on the beam side so...

Just wanted to say congrats on your 3055 purchase. My wife and I also wanted a 30 foot trailer and decided on the 3055 for all the ammenities etc., even though the 3055 is listed as 33 ft. 7 in. trailer. That must be living space because when I put a tape measure to the exterior front to back (...

Thanks for all the input fellas. What I didn't include in the origial posting was added 4x4 and single rear wheel to the f-250/350 which would change the height configeration a lot ,especially on the 350.

Thanks Cooper, but my issue isn't turning angles,it's how the truck and trailer hook up; clearance between the top of the bed and the coach itself, using what specific hitch. When the 3055 is parked and level, what is the measurement between the coach and the ground and the king pin and the...

Before ordering our 3055, the dealer said that we would have no clearance problems with either the f-250 or f-350 using any of the new Reese Signature hitches. I would like to believe him, but without actually backing one of these trucks under the king pin, whose to say? I do not want to buy an...

Hey BillB! I'm new to this forum stuff, but let me tell you what a factory rep told me at the Detroit RV Show. Just before I ordered the 3055 I asked the same question. Moryde makes 2 common systems, the re and se or si. Anyway, one comes with leaf springs and the other doesn't. Bighorns come...
