I have my trailer plugged into 110 constantly, even when parked next to the house. I'm in and out of the trailer almost daily. Yesterday I walked in to a terrible sulfer smell. I tracked it down to the battery which was bubbling over and smoking.. yikes! I unplugged the power and it cooled...

Thanks for the advice! I was at my dealer's yesterday and he said the cable is a common problem. I'm gonna fix it this weekend hopefully. :)

Thanks for all your responses! I went to my dealer and he said he does have some parts so it looks like I'll be able to fix it. I will have to make some kind of new mount to refasten that top bracket though. I guess I have a project now.. :)

I went to work with my awning out about 4ft. While I was at work the wind kicked up and did some damage. The front top mount pulled out from the trailer and the holes are now stripped out. The sliding lever/pivot near the door is made of pot metal and snapped in half. The lower mount by the...

I was draining my tanks yesterday and when I went to push in (close) the drain valve on my #1 it didn't engage or close the valve off. It now feels disconnected from the valve mechanism (free play). Has anyone else had this happen? I had to remove my sewer line because when left open the...

Yeah, mine gets hot too. The darn swing down door panel gets too hot to touch and I can't even open it to turn it off without using a pot holder or something.

Thanks so much for the explanation. I tried to look in my owners manual but it really didn't explain it.

This will probably sound a little dumb, but I have yet to figure a few things out with regards to my control panel switches. First off, why are there two thermostat controls? I've only needed to use the bottom one. Second, on the meter panel, there's a "heater" switch. What heater is it...

My 07 3670RL has the same problem. My kitchen cabinets are off by almost an inch and a half. I noticed it easily. My sliding door to the bathroom from the bedroom is also way off square. It measures 21-3/8 at the bottom of the jam and 22-3/8 at the top. I would never do work like that so it...

If you want a product that comes with stellar customer service, then Heartland is your company. If I were to ever buy another Bighorn, it would be because of the nice people I've dealt with. I have had issues with my trailer but they fixed it. I've heard that no matter what company you buy...

I have an 07 3670. I will say that the customer service is outstanding. I had some major problems with slides leaking and some other minor issues and it was all taken care of without a hitch. To be fair, I am a perfectionist. I notice things that most wouldn't. As I sat in my recliner...

Thank you Gary! I may do something like that to mine. It's pretty tight with the king mattress on there. Bill

I was just curious if everyone else has the same type of mattress platform? I own an 07 3670RL and I was surprised to find just a plank of unfinished particle board under there. No framing or anything. Is that normal? :confused:

I got the RBW 16K because I thought it was a good deal. I don't like it. It's beefy and failsafe but it's a pita to get the thing to open and close. It's too touchy. You have to find the sweet spot every time or you won't be able to hook it or unhook it without fighting with release lever...

And hello to you! Thanks for the kind words and warm welcome. Hopefully we can meet up sometime at a rally or something. It would be nice to talk to a fellow gearhead :).
