    Goodbye HOC

    I am sorry to say that we gave up our 2010 Bighorn 3670RL for a brand new Coachman Brookstone 385FL Diamond Edition (I know, an SOB). Although for the most part we loved our Bighorn, after almost two years of full-timing we determined that we wanted something different (less kitchen, more living...

    Truck for pulling Bighorn 3670RL

    Re: Truck for pulling 3670RL Hi Dylan, I have a 2010 3670 that I have pulled with both an f250 short bed and an f350 dually long bed. Both trucks were 2007 4X4 crew cabs. Both also had the 6.0 liter engine. Both trucks pulled the trailer just fine, however I prefer the f350 dually. The primary...

    Dave & Julie's Alaska Adventure

    Bill, No it wasn't us. We came up through Montana into Canada. It might have been "aatus", I think they were going workcamping in Kenai.

    Dave & Julie's Alaska Adventure

    Welcome to Fairbanks! Terri and I have been here since the 8th of May workcamping at Adventures in Alaska, which also owns Chena Marina and RV Park. Glad you made it over the Top of the World Highway ... we drove it last weekend to Dawson and back, just with the truck though. Send me an email...

    Dave & Julie's Alaska Adventure

    Dave - We were in Dawson City on 7/2. Drove over from Chicken, AK. I assume you will be taking the Top of the World and Taylor Highways from Dawson to Chicken, and then on to Tok. Word of advice - be very careful. On the US side, both roads are in terrible condition. Both are dirt roads until...

    Funny how a lot of your pictures look like the same ones we took on the way up.

    Bh3670rl

    I'm sure for the right price you could talk one of us out of our 2010 3670's so we could upgrade to a Landmark!

    Dave & Julie's Alaska Adventure

    Dave - we stayed at the same campground on the way up ... only there was snow on the ground (but no bugs). Get used to the bugs, especially the mosquitoes. With respect to DirecTV .... good luck. None of my fellow work campers here in Fairbanks were able to get there's to work. You need a bigger...

    ATF: Bighorn - Dimple crack in Gelcoat

    If your unit is still under warranty, I suggest you get it fixed as soon as possible. I had the same thing happen to our unit in the same spot and it got bigger. My unit was NOT under warranty (we purchased it used from a dealer) and it cost me $2,000 to get it fixed. Turns out that a floor...

    Dave & Julie's Alaska Adventure

    It is expensive. The cost for us is $5,100, which includes our Bighorn 3670, F350 dually, two dogs and a cabin from Juneau to Bellingham. We figure we will only do it once in our lifetime.

    Dave & Julie's Alaska Adventure

    We took the same trip from Sweetgrass to Fairbanks almost two months ago. We crossed into Canada on the 22nd of April and arrived here in Fairbanks on the 8th of May. Worst part of the trip was between Burwash Landing and the Alaska border. Hopefully the road has improved since we came through...

    Over night dry camping Alaska Highway

    Nope ... and it's too late now. We arrived in Fairbanks over a month ago and will be here the entire summer.

    Wintering in Texas need advice

    We stayed at Woody Acres in Fulton last winter and plan on returning this year. It's an older park but well maintained. Last year we paid 375 per month and 15 cents per KWH for electricity. They have a pool, two jacuzzis, exercise room, pool tables and numerous activities going on every week.

    Are slide out toppers good to have or not?

    How well do slide toppers work with snow. We've had snow in several places we've camped.
