Are you plugged into a three prong outlet at the house? Are you using a heavy duty extension with three prongs? If not your electrical is not grounded and will cause a shock when you ground the trailer off when you attach the emergency cable to the hitch.

Second shade in the last month broke today. One is being replaced tomorrow by dealer under warranty. My previous unit was an 09 Bighorn and I never had a problem with the shades. Speaking to a few other owners this seems to be a on going issue with all shades including SOB trailers. Is there a...

Would appreciate suggestions for a campground in Calgary, Ab. area for this years Stampede. Would like 30 or 50 amp. and access to C-train or shuttle to Stampede grounds. I have a 39 ft. unit. Thanks, Ed Thanks to all who responded either using the forum or private message. We have made...

I ordered the keys from Heartland. There was no problem. I supplied them with the # on the key, which you already have. Good Luck, Ed

Check out the Honda web site. You can plug in what you plan on running and it will tell you what appliances you can run. I would recommend (2) 2000 Honda generators if you plan on running a roof A/C or small heater. Good Luck, Ed

Doug. Met you at the Florida rally. Hope things get squared away so you can make the rally and get the axles changed. Enjoy the remainder of your trip. Ed & Diane

I attended a seminar presented by a tire manufacturer and they recommended that you set tire pressure as listed on the sidewall of the tire. The ride will be harsher but tire wear and mileage should improve under normal circunstances.

Stay at the campground at the Grand Canyon. Stayed several nights this past summer. It would be a good idea to make reservations now if you know the dates you will be arriving.

I changed the tires on my 09 Bighorn 3670 last spring to G614's and in August left on a 9100 mile trip through out the Southwest states. Most days were in the mid 90's. Checked tire pressure daily and had no problems. Ordered a new 3455 in January and optioned the Good Year G614's. If you...

I have a 3455 with an awning topper on the bedroom slide that the fabric is at least 4 inches short that does not cover the entire width of the slide. Anyone with this unit that would check there awning topper and report back it would be greatly appreciated. All others fit perfect. Thanks

I had a 3670 that I changed the tires to Good Year G 614's. The brakes were not an issue. I just took delivery of a 3455 RL and ordered the Good Year G 614 option. If your unit is not in production your dealer can call and have the tires changed to Good Year G 614's. The cost is around $450.00...

Hi-Way campers in Plainfield Ct. Purchased my 09 Bighorn from this dealer. I received excellent service when required. Usually there prices are better than most other dealers. Good Luck

We will be there calling in the morning. Ed & Diane Briggs

John, Thanks for the reply. I often wondered what the procedure was to close the awning when the motor failed. I found no instructions in my paperwork when I purchased the trailer. I will pickup a strap soon. Thanks, Ed

How do you retract the awning if the motor fails?

My friend from back home stopped by for a couple of days on his way to his winter location. He has a new Cameo by Carriage and I notice they have a molding running across the bottom near the hitch that is screwed to the frame and there is no wrinkles or dropping down of the panel. An easy fix...

I have one on my 09 3670. Just order a 2011 3455RL with another trailair box. Worked well on 9100 mile trip this past summer.

Ordered a 3455 yesterday. Length is listed as 40ft.3 in. with a weight of 12,226. It is a extremely nice unit with loads of storage. We are trading in our 3670 that we really like. My wife was not interested in a new unit until she saw the floorplan. Should spec. out like a 3670 due the weight...

I installed a RDS 51 gal. tank with toolbox in my 08 GMC which has emission control. I questioned if I needed to add the tank, but after a 9,000 mile trip this summer I know I made the right decision. Tank & connection can be purchased at Nortern Tool. Very easy install less than 1 hr. Feel free...

Randy, I would recommend using the truck pumps. If you chose to use the pumps in the car area you risk the chance of being boxed in with little turning area to get away from the pumps if they have a store as part of there business. Walmart is not an issue as we park along the perimeter of the...

It appears my Apolo Oven is not secured other than the black plastic grate on the front of the cabinet. Are there other areas where it should be secured? Thanks, Ed

We have an 09 3670 that we had not used much until we started on this trip. I removed one of the fittings and went to an auto parts store where they matched them up with a replacement and I had no problem greasing the fittings once they were installed. I found that the old ones were corroded and...

Traveling across N.Y. to Ohio from Ma. trying to avoid the high tolls. Wondering about the condition of Rtes. I-88 & I-86. Any suggestions on a place to stay in the Salamaca area for the night? Thanks, Ed

A locksmith should have keys for your unit. Ed

As a security specialist I would not consider staying in a WalMart lot. Consider the poor economy as well as thieves and people desperate for there next drug buy. We standout like a neon sign as being prosperous with the nice tow trucks and trailers. Most of us are retired or near retirement and...

I recently posted a question on the use of an auxilary tank. Many of the replies mentioned they had installed electric pumps, filters and solenoid switches. I would like to hear more with some pictures of these installs if possible. Thanks, Ed

Would like to hear from anyone using a auxilary tank from Northern Tool. How does the gravity feed work and have you had any problems with the install? Thanks, Ed

When towing what tire pressure should I use? I have a GMC dullay towing a Bighorn 3670. Thanks

They do not stretch.

I have used a cover on some of my previous trailers and they work well. Measure the outside length and include the ladder. Look at the Adco site and they have instructions for ordering. Thanks for your previous e-mail.

I presently have an 08 GMC 3500 dually and would not hesitate buying another. The 2011 model has every feature needed to tow a trailer in comfort and safely especially with the available exhaust brake for 2011. I tow a 3670 with ease.

Warranty Try Dodge as the factory warranties are less hassle when having warranty work. AAA in my area sells warranties. I do not know if they exclude duallies. My brother purchased one for his 2500. Ed

additional keys Most locksmith should have the blanks and will cut the keys from the original. Ed

I have a GMC 3500 D/A with the standard 34 gal. tank. Is there any benefit to adding a RDS 51 gal. auxilary tank in the bed? I plan on several long trips in the next couple of years. Thanks, Ed

Utah to Mesa Verde than to the ballon festival in New Mexico in early Oct. Then back to Ma.This will be...

Torque U bolts What are the factory torque settings for the U bolts on the axle and spings of a 09 Bighorn 3670? I am planning a cross country trip next summer and do not want any major problems. My friend lost his axles in Ohio this past summer for the same reason. Thanks

Was that the price for 4 or 5 tires? I like the 4 yr. road hazard warranty.

What hitch should I purchase for clearance on my 08 GMC dually which is higher than past years? I will be towing BH 3670 with Trailair hitch and have heard of issues with clearance at various angles. 6 in. is the recommended clearance. If anyone using this setup could reply with your experiences...

Just purchased a new GMC 3500 dually D/A. I will be towing a BH 3670. I plan on installing B&W 18K companion hitch. I have read of a few cases of not enough clearance on some of the new GM trucks. It appears most have solved the problem with adjustments to the hitch assembly. Any feedback would...
