    I am not sure of the age of the toilet, but if you call Sealand with the vin number they may??? send you the rubber seals. Takes about 1/2 hr to change out---remember to turn off water and disconnect the vacuum hose before starting. al currently Graham, WA

    Crack in fiberglass wall

    Sorry you have had these issues. We had a flexing issue in the front and HL ask the unit to come back to the factory and they did a super job fixing the issue, however we did take it back on our nickle, because we are full timers and preferred it that way. jmgratz----you mentioned in your...

    slide adjustment advice

    Hi everyone, We have a BH 3670 (2010) and I have been reading the slide adjustment manual and still have a few questions. The refer slide near the trailer is very tight on the top--to a point the rubber seal will not come out when opening and I usually go up and pull hard to get it out for water...

    Tire wear - outside tread

    Some good advice----Dan appreciate the GY information---seems funny---if you look in your HL manual about tires, it says if tire wear is the outsides then inflation is too high??? I would check the level of the Rv once you are hooked up--you may have too much pressure on the front tires---also...

    Under Belly Bulge

    I have a 2010 3670 BH and also had the bulge in the underbelly. However after 5yrs of full timing my shower gray tank did chafe through and created two holes in the tank. I decided to replace the tank rather than have it repaired. HL was great with customer service and also gave me some advice...

    Continued Errors by Heartland

    Sorry to hear of all your problems. We have dealt with Ian in the past and he has been very good about resolving issues. It seems funny that your parts were not correct--the reason I say this is a few weeks ago I had to replace the shower tank. I called HL asking about repairs vs a new...

    Fellow Heartlander is walking Appalachian Trail

    Since we are a backpacking family, it was no surprise when our daughter decided to hike the trail, basically by herself in 2009----we took the BH and hopscotched up the east coast and did several short (100 mi) hikes with her. since we are from ME, when she hit the NH/ME line several friends...

    Replacing seals on the top of slides

    Update--the slide project went ok--here are a few things I learned. The original "D" channel had caulking on the top and in order to slide out the old "D" I had to cut the caulk off. It then slid right out. To install the new one (after I gave it quite a bit of 303), I put a small amount of lube...

    Key hard to insert into lock

    Use some kind of lock lube and you should not have an issue--try to lube both the key and inside of the lock. When we lived up in ME most stores had a small can that was under pressure that we all used to stop locks from freezing and it had some type of lube in it that made keys slide into locks...

    Anyone replace the gray (shower) tank

    Just an update. HL customer service pulls through again. I called with my issue and they said with the ViN number they will match the tank exactly and removing and installing should not be an issue. I had a good friend in the park that was willing to help. I had the cloraplast all off and the...

    Anyone replace the gray (shower) tank

    Hi everyone, The BH 3670 is 5 years old and the shower gray tank had chaffed through in two places, where it hangs from the frame. We always travel empty so was surprised this happened. One RV dealer said I could patch it?? another said they could come out and patch it?? I called HL and they...

    Why do I need a battery?

    Hi everyone, We are full timers and set up in RV parks with shore power almost all the time. I know when traveling I need a battery to keep the refer going, but other than that why would I need a battery? If I can go without one, what should I do with the leads at the battery box? thanks al

    Replacing the top for a bathroom fan

    Hi Everyone, I was up on the roof doing some general checking and saw the top of the bathroom vent was cracked. Since we are in AZ and had no rain, it is not a big problem, but how do you replace just the top? of do I have to buy a complete new fan unit? I think??? they are made by Hagg and the...

    Replacing the check valve in the water heater is a really good thing to do. However in your post were you talking about that OR the plastic check valve that is in the water inlet?

    Finding the right LED?

    Hi everyone, I am thinking to replace a few of the ceiling lights with LED's. I have a 2010 BH 3670 and want to replace the bulb # 1141.

    Would LOVE some help tracking down an odor source...

    Sorry to hear you are having issues----here are a few of my thoughts-- Since it appears to be "below" check to see if you have a minor leak in one of the pipes coming from your toilet--it probably is not a major leak but a small drip from one of the connections. Also, check to see when you flush...

    jt strong arms

    I installed Ultra Fabs which I think are similar to Strongarms?? If they are, on the front I put a piece of angle on the inside of the storage compartment and then bolted up through the thin metal and into the angle---gave a secure fit in the front. On the rear I did something different than...

    ATF: Bighorn - Frame Question

    We had a similar issue with our 2010 BH 3670. I had a dealer look at it and he was not sure how to proceed. I called HL and spoke with Jim Fenner who knew exactly what the issue was and how it had to be corrected. Flexing, and he recommended that it only be fixed by the factory. (they may have...

    Power outlet problem, need help

    After checking the GFI, look under the bed on the right side (if it is wired like our BH), the receptacle wire actually hits the hydraulic cylinder and may have rubbed off the insulation. If this is the case the breaker will trip. If this is what happened, it is an easy fix to move the wire so...

    Samsung radio fades out

    Hi everyone, This is another one of those that just "bugs" us. We have a BH 3670 with a Samsung radio.

    Water Pump Question

    You may also consider disconnecting the water lines to the washer if you never plan to use them. If it is like ours there is a "T" and you can just disconnect there and put a plug in that line. al currently in Surprise, AZ

    How to grease the slides: 2011 Cylone 3950

    If you are talking about your slides, I just use some silicone spray around all the moving parts and put some on the cylinder and then wipe that off. I do it each time if we have been sitting for more than a couple of weeks--if traveling everyday i do not do it. al currently in Surprise, AZ
