The two zone thermostat in an RV allows for control over two AC's from one thermostat. Zone 1 would be the main AC in the living area and zone 2 would be for the one in the bedroom. I only have one AC, so I don't know if there is a separate temperature sensor for the bedroom or not. I just...

In my previous 2008 Bighorn I installed a programmable thermostat made by Lenox. When I traded last year for a new 2014 Bighorn I found that the electrical connection was totally different. Instead of having a "Thermostat Cable" with 7 wires in it, only 3 wires feed into the new Dometic one...

Hi Ray, I think the answer to your question is yes, but there might be some legal/health issues if you did. The engineer in me wants to explain in a little more detail what happened to me. The two systems on our BH are the same as yours. They are separate also. However, I knew that turning...

Thanks for all the reply’s. When I got up this morning, the water pressure was even worse. So after several appointments were out of the way, I got into trying to determine the cause. I am not using a regulator in this park, because the pressure, measured by a standard water pressure gauge...

We have a 2008 Bighorn, model 3055RL. Due to some surgery on both my wife and myself, we have been treading water since last Nov 14th here in the Tampa Bay area. Over the past few months, we have noticed a significant drop in our water pressure. The inlet hose pressure is 40psi, but coming...

Thanks for the comment. I got a really good chuckle out of that thought! I didn't even think about the rubber mallot being in the picture. I used the rubber mallot to tap the plastic putty knife instead of having to put a lot effort into pushing the putty knife along. Worked great! Thanks...

Hey Terry, glad it looks good for the rally. We'll keep you guys in our prayers.

I ordered a faucet replacement for my shower about two weeks ago and it was mailed the next day. Unfortunately, someone put the label on the wrong box, and so "my" part was wrong. I called back and explained what happened, HL reshipped the correct part by 2nd day air and again it was shipped the...

It seemed to tighten up on the outside as I put the screws in on the inside. We decided not to add anything to the rubber seal - just made sure the surface was good and smooth and clean. The bottom was only caulked around the radius of each corner. The horizontal part between the two corners...

Hi Bob & Patty, I think I ended up pretty much the same as you. I got the plastic putty knife at Home Depot for 97 cents. I started at the bottom and was surprised at how easy the knife went up the window sides. In about 10 min, the window was ready to come out. One problem, I couldn't climb...

Hi John, The only screws I found were the ones that hold the "trim/flange" on the inside to the window itself. I finally got through to the factory customer service and was told that it is the stickiness of the putty that is holding the window in place. In order to remove the window from the...

I had surgery coming up earlier so I did nothing. Then about two weeks ago, all of a sudden water was pouring out from under my shower stall on the floor. Apparently the plastic housing of the faucet had cracked and started allowing water to run down the back side of the shower stall. I...

I have been on hold for several weeks. I had an ankle replacement on my right ankle. I am still on crutches until June 20th, but I think I have found the source of the problem. About two weeks ago I had a neighbor tape clear plastic over my window. The plastic went completely over the frame...

Thank you so much. I always wondered how they were attached. I think before I start taking the window apart, I will tape a piece of plastic over the window and then put the hose to it. If the water is getting in from around the window, then there should not be any water on the inside. If...

Thanks Bob, I noticed that all of the screws are on the inside. Makes me wonder if there is some kind of seal inside there. It also looks as if the valance may have to be removed. The screws look like they may be hard to get to with the valance on. Do you know anything about how the valance...

Hi Guys, Thanks for your replys. I had thought about removing the window just to see if anything jumped out at me. But because I wasn't sure what all was involved, I thought I would start first with this forum. Have either of you taken your window out, or do you have any knowledge about what...

I have developed a water leak on the RR corner of my 2008 3055RL Bighorn. When we have either a hard rain or a long rain, my floor in the corner of the trailer gets wet. I examined the roof area to see if I could see any places needing caulking between the rear cap and the rubber roof or...

We have a 2008 Bighorn 3055RL. The shower faucet has two 1/4 turn handles instead of knobs. There is a small spray of water coming from the area near where the diverter comes up for the hose to connect to. Several days ago I took the hose off and retaped the threads on the diverter. No Luck...

I know it has been several weeks since I started this thread, but I wanted to write the last chapter so that anyone else reading about this problem would know the results I had. As I mentioned in my Post #21, I did repack and adjust my breaks before leaving Denver, CO for Greenville, SC. I also...

Hi Larry, We will be at the Magnolia RV Park and CG off exit 60 on I-26 near Joanna, SC. We will arrive around Sept 27-29 and will probably stay there 2-3 weeks. The wedding is on Oct 2nd. If you have time to stop by, we would love to see you folks. Roy, Sarah and Maggie (Our Border Collie)

Thanks to all of you for the timely advice. I plan to repack all of my wheel bearings this week. Hopefully, if I can jack up the frame and take the weight off my tires, I will also be able to get some grease in the Equa-Flex Zerks. After reading the instructions from the MOR/Ride web site, I...

Another Question, I Googled MORRyde and found the instructions for the Wet Bolt Kit Instructions. It appears that they have a kit for the Equa-Flex as well. I wish that I had known about this before I went full Time. I had a lot more tools available that would have helpped with this job...

Thanks for the add'l info you guys. Larry, you didn't mention where to buy the bushings, Also, how do you know what size you need? I would imagine that different size trailers would use different size bushings. Are there any diagrams or online instructions on how to change out the bushings...

Whoa, Thanks for all the info, but I'm a little confused. For starters, I greased all of the wheel bearings - took them out and repacked each one by hand, at 15,189 miles. How do I know the mileage? I keep a daily log sheet with trailer miles towed for each day. On my log sheet I also...

Thanks Dave, I failed to mention that I was rotating the tires at the time I tried to grease them. I had jacked up each axle on the door side in order to get the wheel off the ground. Is that what you mean or is there a different way to get the weight off? With both axles jacked up, I could...

I have a 2008 Bighorn 3055 RL. I have had trouble with being able to grease the zerts on the Equa-Flex suspension. I had them supposedly worked on about a year ago, but I didn't start using the trailer until I went FT about two months ago. When I tried to grease them yesterday, only one out of...

My Wife uses one. We added a 12v outlet right next to the 110v outlet on her side of the bed on our Bighorn. When we stay at a location without power, we just plug a 400 watt inverter into the 12v outlet and her cpap into that. Works just fine. If it is very cool by morning, (below 50), the...

Thanks for the tips. I found Goodyear brand at Sam's Club for $165, but then went to a Ford Dealership in Denver and got them for $155 each. Roy :)

New Tires We have a little over 19,000 miles on our original Mission tires and are looking to replace them before too much longer. Where is the best place to look for Goodyears or Michelins? Online or local? We have only had one problem so far and that was on our last trip in October. The...

Driving with the furnance running We have ran with the heater on with no problems. We usually set the thermostate on 60 so it keeps the chill off. That way it doesn't take a long time to reheat the trailer. The only problem we have found is that the slide rugs cover two of the 4 floor vents. We...

I bought my BH out of state in May 2008 thinking I would be fulltime in less than a year and so it wouldn't matter about the hometown dealer's attitude. (They are about 40 miles away.) Well I'm still not FT yet, but every time I have needed any warranty work, I have taken it to a...

I got really tired of the Coby 5.1 system that came with the trailer, so I just ordered a new Onkyo TX-SR606 AV receiver to go in my 2008 3055BH. It comes with an option for Sirius Satellite Radio which I ordered. Has anyone figured out or know of a way to run the cable from the Sirius Antenna...

I have an 08 6.4L PSD and want to start changing my own oil. I'm tired of paying $100+ to a dealer. Where is a good place to find oil and filter? Also I noticed that the dealer charges for a gasket, is anyone familiar with these parts?

Truck Tires I need to buy new tires for my truck. In looking over my findings, there seems to be three tires manufacturers suitable for my truck. Michelin, Goodyear and Bridgestone. Does anyone have an opinion as to which would be better to tow my Bighorn? I need an LT275/70R18E, which are...

Mission Tires I don't know if it is the luck of the draw or not, but our 2008 Bighorn 3055 now has over 18,000 miles on it's Mission tires and are still running good. The only problem I have had was my own fault. When I was in Texas last month, I repacked the wheel bearings and adjusted the...

When we first installed it, I had a little trouble getting the air hose to the cab to seal in the "T" valve from the hitch compressor. Ended up retrimming the hose and after that - no more problems. At present, we have about 18,000 miles on the hitch and love it! I try to grease the Zerts about...

I have a 2008 F350 Crew Cab with a short bed. My Bighorn now has over 18,000 miles on it and I have never felt the need for a slider hitch. I backed it around one time just to see how far it would go. Looked like about 85 degrees. If you want to spend extra money on a hitch, look into an air...

We just returned from a 4 month trip to Alaska which included a lot of rough gravel roads. Counting the 1250 miles we put on the tires when we picked up our 2008, 3055RL at Lakeshore RV in Michigan, and the trip to Alaska, we have a little over 13,600 miles on our tires and no problems so far...

We have an 08 3055 Bighorn with Mission tires. Todate we have about 6,800 miles on them and no problems yet. We have been on a trip to a Alaska since June 6th and have been on a lot of gravel roads up here. We also bought the Doran Pressure Pro TMS and have had nothing but trouble with it...

We have an 08 2055 Bighorn and have pulled it over 6,000 miles on our trip to Alaska with a short bed F-350 PSD and a Hensley TS3 Air Hitch. We have never had any problems with tight turns. Go for it!
