We have a 2011 3055RL Bighorn and one of the ladder standoffs is having a problem. In looking for a replacement, we find that SURCO (don't believe this is the mfg.) is 5" and ours is 9" (thinking this may be a Stromberg Carlson ladder, but the body connection plate piece to FW does not look the...

The string broke in our large rear window day/night shade. After removing the valance and lambrequin, we found that the shade was screwed into the wall and is flat. It was not on a 1 3/8" box frame style, nor mounted on clips. How do you restring a pleated shade like this? All the instructions...

Does anyone here know where to get replacement glass ceiling light covers? These are the round, thick clear, or opaque, glass covers that screw in. We have a 2011 3055RL Bighorn. On a recent trip, one came out and shattered everywhere. We generally hand tighten them every so often, but hadn't...

Several years ago I responded to a posting that is now closed - https://heartlandowners.org/showthread.php/31577-ATF-Bighorn-Skin-coming-loose-in-king-pin-area - I'm reporting back that indeed the adhesive had come loose and there was no water damage. We had a local RV tech remove the siding and...

Our 2011 FW was purchased new in 2010. The rubber roof is now 8 years old and we know we will have to replace the roof in a year or two. We're looking into a PVC roof and am looking for feedback on this. We've researched the two different applied roof coatings - RV Armor and Flex Armor and both...

We have a 2011 3055RL Bighorn. Camping this last weekend with morning temps at 30, we noticed cool air (not a breeze though) coming in through the vent under the refirigerator. We put a blanket there and the inside warmed up nicely (we use a Heater Buddy). We believe this is the fresh air...

Are building plans for Bighorn's available? What we are looking for is a plan that shows the studs, wiring, plumping placement, etc., to be used in planning modifications. Thank you.

We were unable to winterize last fall and now during our spring systems check we found that the valve going into the toilet between the water line and the pedal is leaking. Does the entire toilet have to be removed to replace this valve?

I know this model has a reset switch in the front side battery compartment near the manual slide controls but we can't find it and the manual does not mention it. Can anyone help here? Thanks!

I hope I'm not repeating this question, I looked for a similar thread and couldn't find one, so am hoping for some input. We have a 2011 3055RL Bighorn that we tow with a 2011 F350 Diesel DRW. We have always pre-cooled the fridge, packed it, then turned it off enroute to our first camp site...

Working on hooking up a wireless backup camera (Voyager that was highlighted in Trailer Life a couple of months ago). I've positioned the mount for the camera above the middle running light on the rear (the power for the camera comes from the running light when the lights are turned on in the...

I hope this is the right place to post this regarding the range hood vent. I need a replacement vent cover - the one you secure with a wing nuts type of mechanism when en route. Well, when we got to our camping spot this last weekend, as I went out to unlock it for use, I noticed the locking...

Our 2011 BH 3055RL came with a King Size Country Rest Pillow Top Memory Foam mattress. It is wonderful. Anyone here know the firmness rating of it? Soft, medium, medium hard, etc.? Since this is the first we've slept on of this style, I'd like to know because we'd like to replace our house...

We're looking to go to this first come, first served state park campground for the Memorial Day weekend. Anyone here familiar and a regular visitor of this campground enough to know what our chances of getting a spot if we arrive the Thursday before this weekend? I'm also going to contact the...

On another forum, I saw the comment from someone that the bathroom sink drains into the black tank. Is this true of Bighorns? We were always under the impression that all sinks and the shower drains into the grey tank with only the toilet draining into the black.

Prior to purchasing our 2011 BH 3055RL, we had a travel trailer. The black tank had a flush system, so when we dumped it, we would attach first a clear connector, then attach the dumping hose to it. This allowed us to easily see when the blank tank was flushed clean. With the dumping hose boom...

We have a 2011 3055RL BH. On our current trip, we noticed that the gasket on the "central command" (the one with the tank latches, fresh water fill, etc.) keeps sticking to the door when it's opened. It requires us to reposition it each time before closing the door. Anyone else have this problem?

We've been out in our new BH for three weeks now and have only had one problem - one overhead cabinet above the sofa, the last one to the left - keeps popping the actual hinge out of the wooden door. DH first thought it was the angle of the piston looking hinge, so he drilled a new hole, but it...

Before buying our new Bighorn DH had a Hensley BD3 Trailersaver and sliding hitch installed "just in case". When we were towing it home, we stopped at the local fairgrounds and practiced backing it up with sharp turns and I watched the front of the fiver, not once did it come dangerously close...

Just bought our 3055RL and already broke one of the bedroom sliding closet door latches. Going to the dealer Tuesday to order replacements - getting extras just in case. This is not a big deal. Our last RV, a Komfort TT had the same problem and that was all it had, so this doesn't upset me much...

We're just bought a new Bighorn 3055RL and not only are we new to 5th wheels but to hydraulic systems. I have several questions regarding them: 1. When bringing slides in or extending them, when do I stop pushing the button? When I visually see that all slides are out or . . . ? With our...

The specs state for the 2011 3055RL for fresh water - 75 gallons. Minus the 12 gallon water heater, leaves 63 actual gallons for the fresh water tank. We dry camp a lot and fill our tanks. Haven't done this in the new Bighorn yet. How many of you have filled your fresh water tank to capacity (or...

Greetings - I'm new to this forum (second posting), having just purchased a 3055RL Bighorn. We are very impressed with everything and have tested all the systems by "driveway camping". One system we haven't tested though is the black water system. In our previous four RV's - travel trailers -...
