    Corral RV Park - Dalhart Texas

    On our way to Arizona for the winter, Sharol and I were going to stay overnight at The Corral RV Park in Dalhart Texas. We both fell ill with a virus of some kind and wound up staying a total of 6 days. It was probably the best 6 days of Texas hospitality. Owners Michael & Shannon Layman were...

    New Garmin nuvi 700 series GPS

    Recently I have been researching GPS receivers for our travel use. For the past year I used the Delorme Street Atlas software on our Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. I made a "center console" for the laptop to mount on which slips over the center of our seat in the GMC 2500HD. It worked very well and...

    Atta Way Heartland

    Got a call from Jim Fenner from Heartland today. He was following up on our request for more info on availability of a small flat screen TV for the bedroom on our 3055RL. We did get information from the parts department shortly after originally requesting it. As it panned out, we did find a TV...

    Bighorn Spotted - Billings MT

    We saw a Bighorn today at 12:30 PM (noon) going into Billings MT. Couldn't tell what model it was nor license plates. We were sitting in a little old drive-in/sit-in restaurant called "Blondies". I think the unit came off I-90 as we had. Anyone from the forum ? We're taking in the "Little...

    Yellowstone National Park via Livingston MT

    We highly recommend Yellowstones' Edge RV Park www.mtrv.com on Highway 89 South, south of Livingston MT and north of Gardiner MT which is at the North Entrance to Yellowstone. For those wishing to visit Yellowstone Park, the campground is only about 30 miles north of there, and right on the edge...

    Bighorn Spotted !!!

    We spotted a "Bighorn" today (7-4-07) Southbound at Logan Pass Montana (Elevation 6,646 feet - Glacier National Park). Couldn't tell what model it was, perhaps Scott or someone from the forum might recognize it. We saw quite a few other "makes" also but not as impressive as this "Bighorn" which...

    Bighorn Southbound on I-75

    Spotted a Bighorn southbound on I-75 near exit 310 (Indian River MI) Memorial Day early afternoon. Anyone from the forum ? We live just south of there off exit 301 (Wolverine MI). Nice to see one on the road and it looked pretty. See you all at the Rally, we will be leaving Wednesday morning...

    DC Fuse Panel Connections

    I replaced the DC Fuse Panel (original had cracked frame) today on our Bighorn 3055RL and found a number of the white ground wires were not connected properly on the ground bus. The set screws were tightened on the wires insulation instead of the bare wire on about 1/2 of them. Several had only...

    Thousand Trails Inc.

    Sharol and I were at first pleased to get a phone call tonight that we had "won" a "free" 30 day certificate from Thousand trails. We had attended the Super RV Show at Tampa FL and had registered for the "free" drawing. I asked the Lady calling to send the certificate. She said we had to "make...

    Oops....waited too long....

    Woke up this morning to the scenes in the attached pictures. We do plan on heading to Florida about mid November with our Bighorn 3055RL but it looks like we're getting an early winter. We have about 2" on the ground right now and they are predicting more into the weekend. The blue tarp is...

    Additional Storage Cabinet for 3055RL

    Sharol and I have been looking for a cabinet that would fit into the unused washer/dryer area in our 3055RL. We finally found a (kit form) one at Lowes in a cherry wood finish that matches fairly well with the paneling. It has three flat drawers and each drawer has a front panel that would help...

    Living/Dining Slide Awning

    Does anyone else have a problem with a sagging Living/Dining Slide awning when the slide is out? On our 3055RL the edges of the awning appear to be fairly tight but when any water settles, the awning sags badly (about 2-3 inches or more) in the center. I'm wondering if anyone has tried to...

    Electric Brakes on 3055RL

    I had a problem recently on our initial shakedown trip where the rear axle brakes would not get warm after braking. The front axle drums would get very warm showing they were working. At first I thought the dealer hadn't adjusted the shoes properly and they were not touching the drums. After we...

    Fifth Wheel Hitch Height Adjustment

    We purchased our Bighorn 3055RL about a month ago and had the Dealer deliver it. They later installed our Reese 16K hitch and rough guessed the needed height adjustment as we didn't have the fiver handy. I finally got the time to hook up to the Bighorn and found the height of the hitch seemed...

    King Bed in 3055RL

    Hi All..... We recently purchased a 2006 3055RL with a King bed. When we run the slides in, the King mattress hits the Vanity cabinet and bends up. I'm concerned mainly about the pressure the mattress puts on the Vanity door and also it doesn't look very nice. :( I'm thinking a Queen...

    Thanks to all on the Forum from new 3055RL owners !

    My wife and I are finally done with the long sometimes stressful search for a suitable fifth wheel. About halfway thru the searching we learned about Heartland and in particular the Bighorn line and saw one while in Florida. It was a very well built unit and reflected quality throughout. The...
