Ray & Deb: Just wanted to let you know that we have made our reservations at the RV park and are all set for the rally the end of the month. Looking forward to meeting everyone and having a good time. Garth & Susan

NorCal Rally Hi Everyone! We have been reading your posts and this looks like fun. We are in Chico (only 70 miles south of Redding) so thought we would take part too. It might be fun to have full hook-ups as we generally are boondocking in our RV. Do we need to make our own reservations...

I agree with you chopper. Having got all the bugs out of our 3055 (without any dealer support) I wouldn`t trade this one in for a new one either. I must say that heartland was very good about sending me parts but the labor was 100% on me.

Bob, The reason I made that commit was because after receiving our 3055 my list of repairs needed was a lot like iefpro01`s. Because I didn`t buy locally the local dealer told me I would have to wait 45 to 60 days to get it in for repair. Glad to hear you have a local dealer that will work with you.

I hope anyone who is thinking about buying from a internet dealer thousands of miles from where they live to save some money (like I did) are reading this.

Pulltab I had the same problem with our 3055 this spring. After dumping it and flushing it with clean water I filled it complety full and rolled under. I could see it had two leaks one at the vent tank flange the other at the main tank flange on top. The only way I could get to that one was from...

Chopper: If you have any problems with your dealer get back to me as this was a fairly easy fix. I just dont know why the factory's can,t figure it out! even though they have certain problems, they keep pumping them out. I guess they figure the dealers or customers will fix the problems for...

I had the same problem with our 3055. The black tank sagged just like the fresh water tank did,but it sagged the wrong way. So once again I had to fabricate bracing under it so the tank would drain the correct way. Because I purchased this coach out of state (better price) no local dealer...

Chopper Bill: After talking to Chris at the factory about this problem prior to posting I thought the same thing. I won't go into how many problems I have fixed myself although the factory has always sent me the parts I need for the repairs. It has never cost them one nickle for labor...

I have a 2006 3055. After waiting to dump the sewer until it was completely full, I found that I have a leak where the plastic sewer pipe enters the top of the black tank. Of course my factory warranty went off 10 days ago. I can kind of access it from behind the breaker panel by the front...

Scott: I checked the orange regulator when I got home last night. It appears to be mounted properly. I even removed it from the fire wall to check that the flow was going the right way and everything looks fine. Could you tell me what the purpose of this regulator is as the line leaving it...

Checked the door side tank again last night when I got home and it still would not allow any propane out of it. I switched it out with another tank which was only half full to see if I had a faulty tank, but that one wouldn't allow any propane out either. I took my wife's hairdryer and heated up...

I am having the same problem, more so with the tank on the door side. When the temperature is cold the indicator on top of the regular tells me the tank is empty and it switches to the other tank even though it may be completely full. I just refilled the tank and it now refuses to allow any...

We had the same odor problem until I read about Happy Camper sewage treatment somewhere on this forum. I ordered some and started using it and haven't had an odor problem since. It doesn't even stink when dumping the sewer. You can find it on their web site at www.5starhappycamper.com. You...

I mounted this generator in our 3055. (Awesome generator!) I am not sure that your compartment is the same as the one on our model. I ordered the 3055 generator ready. The generator compartment came fully enclosed, including the bottom. This generator needs to be completely open on the...

ChopperBill: You might want to consider getting a Mr. Buddy propane heater to use in your coach. We just came back from a 3 week stay in Arizona and used our Mr. Buddy every day. Sure did keep the chill off and the regular heater didn't run nearly as much. Made a big difference on the...

To answer your question about the inverter running a coffee maker, you will need one that is at least 1500 watts. Also your two 6 volt batteries need to be at least 70% charged or you will pull your batteries down into the low 12 range. We run two 125 watt solar panels on the roof with two 6...

B. Lee: Because we dry camp 100% of the time we ordered our 3055 generator ready so that I could install an Onan 5500 LP generator. We ordered our coach from out of state so we weren't sure what "generator ready" meant. Well the generator compartment comes fully enclosed. It is really set...

Coley: Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I appreciate you checking into this for me and letting me know I wasn't forgotten. Garth

Scott: We love our 3055 which we purchased in June of this year. We have used it all summer and have had very few problems with it. Only those small problems you would expect to have with any RV. We were able to take care of those ourselves and we prefer to do those ourselves anyway...

BlueGrass Man: I believe I rolled the adjustor down (towards me). If you look inside the adjustment hole with a flashlight you can see the adjustor. It has a spring over the top of it which keeps it from rotating by itself. When I looked into ours it was backed off almost all the way...

After reading about your brake problem I decided to check our 3055 brakes remembering when I pulled it up to our mountain property (on its maiden voyage) for the summer I had to adjust the Prodigy brake controller to full voltage to get the brakes to actuate properly. With my other trailers 4-5...

Thank you for your reply!!! Sure glad I didn't order the dome dish. Looks like I will go to plan B. Thanks again! Garth

Still waiting for an answer to my question regarding the height of the 3055 where the satellite would mount! Will mounting a 16" dome satellite at the prewired satellite site on the roof make me over the legal height of 13'6" when hooked to my truck. I will be pulling the coach with a 2003 Chevy...

Appreciate your input! We do have a portable tripod unit that we have been using. We would also like to have a dish that would find itself automatically. I am concerned about the overall height of the RV with the dish mounted. I believe the legal height in most states is 13'6". Would mounting...

Would like to put a Winegard 3500 Dome Satellite unit on the 3055RL that I have ordered. I am concerned about the overall height as this dome is 16 inches tall. Winegard does sell an automatic dish that lowers down to 8 inches when not in use. I would prefer the dome dish as it would be...

Thanks for your reply Scott! As a soon to be new Bighorn owner we appreciate that the factory takes the time to respond to questions and concerns. This forum seems to be a good resource! Garth

My wife & I have just orderded a Bighorn 3055. Over the weekend we visited a dealer to check out the color schemes in person. We were a little concerned when we noticed problems with the new graphics they have added to the 2006 models. The red and blue swirls had areas that were pealing on them...
