    3685RL accessibility with the slides in

    The 3685RL bathroom is completely accessible with all slides in. You can get to the fridge, the closet inside the entry door, the pantry, and the bathroom. You can also easily slide the bedroom slide out if you want to access the entire bedroom. This is true for a 2012 and I don't believe...

    Delam Question - Bighorn 3685

    I have a 2012 Bighorn 3685 that started to delam about 1 year ago. A bubble appeared on the kitchen slide. The bubble was about 2-3 inches in diameter. I took a few pics and sent them to Heartland CS. After speaking to 3-4 dealers/repair shops, the consensus was that it should go back to...

    Axle Wrap problems with 2012 F350 Crew cab, long bed

    I own a 2012 F350 LB CC. Been researching this for six months. Read every forum available on the web regarding the problem and the majority of the responses regarding a solution lead to driveshaft replacement. Ford replaced my driveshaft about four weeks ago. Significant shudder on hard...

    ATF: Bighorn - Progressive EMS Install - BigHorn 3685RL

    The main circuit into the breaker box appears to be a black cable about 5/8" dia. with 6/3 wire inside as indicated on the outer jacket. I assume (but you know what that does) that this is the main line into the A/C breaker panel. It appears that I have enough slack coil in the cable to insert...

    I-81 N Harrisburg Pa

    An update on the road closures. I81 will remain closed northbound and southbound THROUGH THE WEEKEND. The affected overhead span was so badly deformed it must be immediately removed. This will take some time. I've attached a pic of the damage on the underside of the span. Coming north take I76...

    A couple post-PDI questions...

    Yes gentlemen, "did not power up" means absolutely no indication of power. No interior light and no display. I'm leaning more and more towards "too cold to operate" since it has been working fine ever since. Bill, I will check Sony support. Maybe there is a firmware upgrade I can apply...

    A couple post-PDI questions...

    Helped a buddy PDI his 2013 3670 this past weekend. A couple things came up. 1. The microwave (convection model) did not power up at first. Unit was PDI'd indoors but was recently brought inside from very cold weather. Does the microwave sense temperature and not power up if it's too cold...

    What dvd/cd player, stereo, etc. is in the new 2013 Bighorn's???

    Looked at 17 2013 BigHorns at Lazydays in Tampa on Sunday. Every one had Sony TVs and a Sony combo DVD Receiver. IMHO, much better equipment than what has been installed in the past. Not sure of the surround speaker brand because they are not marked but looked similar to the Jensens they've...

    Disappointed new owner

    My 2012 3685 has the same issues. Multiple leaks exist behind the dock center. I've tried tightening them all, some successful, most not. The issue is that the braided tubing ID does not equate with the OD of the connectors. No matter how hard you tighten the clamps, some will just not...

    RV Outlet-Danville, Va

    We bought our unit there (Bighorn 3685RL). Took delivery one year ago tomorrow. They were one of the best dealers we've ever worked with. Very accommodating and very honest. Bill Galyean took care of everything. Highly recommend them.

    Hurricane Info

    No commercial vehicles or RVs allowed on highways in Central PA. 45 MPH speed limit for all others. REALLY starting to crank up outside. Watching trees and Bighorn rock in the wind right now. Be safe everyone in the mid Atlantic.

    Storm Prep

    We live near Lancaster in Central PA. Pretty much in the direct path as is being shown at this time. I was going to take the 3685 to the storage lot and cover it this weekend but decided against it. They are calling for 65+ MPH winds. No way the cover will survive that. Actually I'm keeping...

    Dock Center Access

    Yeah I struggled with how big to make it. My main reason was to get at the ice maker shutoff and also to have access to the plumbing rats nest in case I had a leak. Layed the framing square on the panel to take some measurements and voila! I ended up with an 18" x 24" hatch!

    Just thought I'd shared these pics. Just did this in my BH 3685RL while winterizing.

    Need opinion on fifth wheel hitches....

    Hmmm. I have a B&W in a 2012 F-350 longbed crew cab. I used the companion piece from my 06 F350 and just ordered the turnover ball frame assembly. The install was identical to my 06 F350 and everything fit and lined up the same in the new truck as it did in the old one. No bed damage... no issues.

    Hershey, PA

    Was just out for lunch and drove by the Giant Center in Hershey. More bright shiny new RVs than you can imagine! Even spotted a couple of Landmarks. Although we just bought a new one, still looking forward to the show next week to see whats new for 2013. It would take 2-3 days to walk that lot!

    Labor Day camping plans???

    Twin Grove park in Pine Grove, PA is our destination. Leaving work early today to go home, hook up and get on the road. 3685 and F350 are spotless and waiting. Hope the wife doesn't get caught up in late meetings this afternoon.

    Lake in Wood, Narvon PA

    If you're hungry, definitely go to Shady Maple smorgasbord for breakfast just down the road about 10 minutes! You will not be disappointed... But take your appetite!

    Ice Maker Poll - give Heartland your feedback

    We must use a lot of ice! We have one in the 3685 AND we have a portable and use both all the time. The one in the fridge is our drink ice and the portable feeds our coolers. We NEVER buy ice anymore.

    Lessons Learned in the Past Week

    There are two things I discovered in the past week: 1. The ROPS (roll bar) on my Kubota B2620 is about two inches higher than the lowest point of my bedroom slide when the rig is sitting in my driveway perfectly level. 2. My 16 year old son (fairly new to the driving thing) does not know how...

    Everything but the kitchen sink...

    ... worked fine this trip. When we got home from our 6 day weekend today in the 3685RL I noticed the kitchen sink was about a half inch low on the faucet side. Pushed down on the sink slightly and discovered there wasn't much holding it up other than the drain lines. Check out the underside...

    Tow vehicle question

    Dave10.... you da man... that's the connector assembly I was looking for. I was on etrailer earlier today but for the life of me, could not find that part. As far as the B&W, I just need the assembly that mounts on the frame. I have the Companion fifth wheel assembly that I'll be saving from...

    Tow vehicle question

    Just picked up a 2012 F-350. I have a couple of questions. I'm ordering the B&W turnover ball sub assembly. Anyone know of a best price place to procure this hitch? Also, since this truck did not come with the fifth wheel prep package, I would like to locate the wiring connector to the left...

    Need a place in northeast Penn.

    PS: This place is very convenient to I81. They have really nice 50amp pull thrus. A lot of travelers use these sites since it so close to the interstate. If you will be there on a weekend call and reserve. If during the week, should be no problem just pulling in.

    B&W Hitch Question - New Ford F-350

    Although most of the websites advertise this hitch as being available (Tweetys included) they actually do not have them. Apparently B&W didn't estimate the demand quite right. Seems a lot of folks are buying new Fords with factory fifth wheel hitch prep and wanting the B&W package.

    B&W Hitch Question - New Ford F-350

    OK folks... big help needed here. My dad just picked up his 2012 F-350 Lariat last night. He wrongly assumed he could get the B&W hitch assembly for the Ford pre-installed fifth wheel hitch. Apparently they are non-existent! B&W part # RVK3300. It's the assembly that fits in the Ford...

    Crown Moulding Buckled

    Here is a pic. Not sure how well you can see it from here. As expected, it seems to get worse when the weather is warm and humid. These mouldings are tacked in with nails in the first place so I'm thinking it's not a problem. Guess I should call customer service to get a ruling on nail length.

    Crown Moulding Buckled

    Wasn't sure where to put this one so it ended up here. The crown moulding on my 2012 BH 3685 is buckled slightly in one area. Does anyone know if it is OK to tack it back up with an air finish nailer? Would probably only need one or two shots. Anything to be aware of if I do this? Any idea...

    Gorgeous Fri afternoon in Lancaster, PA

    Old Mill Stream. This is just down the road from Mill Bridge. Now that place brings back memories. Used to camp there all the time but haven't been there in years. What's Mill Bridge like these days? Can you fit a sizable rig in there?

    Dealer Experiences

    Hi Jim, Try rv007.com. Check out the website, give them a call and ask for Bill in sales. Couldn't have been happier with this dealership when we picked up our 3685RL in January. Highly recommended! They are located in Virginia.

    New 3685

    Hi Steve, Yes I have the same problem on my new 3685. It aggravates the living daylights out of me. I have found a way to adjust the slides but have not had the chance to try it yet. If you let the slides out for a while, the dents come out. Mine did completely. Right now, I've cut two...

    Verifying Refer Operation

    Went out today to fire up the fridge for the maiden voyage of the 3685RL next weekend. I have the Norcold double door with ice maker. Hit the power and set it to AUTO. Cycled through AC and LP and fired up on LP. Hmmm... that's odd... I'm plugged into AC and all other AC seems to be working...

    ATF: Bighorn - Bedroom TV Mount

    I would say you're probably ok. There is a standard TV mount on the wall and you can probably use the bracket from your 22". Just take the bracket off the 22" and install it on the 32". Buy a new bracket to mount your 22" in the basement. My only concern would be the weight rating of the...
