    Fridge in Basement Question

    We carry a small upright freezer in the front basement area. We start it up, let it get cold & place pre-frozen food in it. There is no outlet in this compartment, but we just drop an extension cord down through the gap next to one of the front landing gear legs. We either plug into a 20 amp...

    Wish list...

    Interiors I often wondered why RVs were designed with interiors resembling a posh 5th Avenue town house. I'd much rather it look like a very comfortable and usable hunting or fishing camp. You know - a real "man-cave". I guess the reason is that us guys don't get to vote on things like this.

    More Lighting Over Dinette

    We have some friends that got thier BH before we got ours and we all noticed that there was only one 12 volt light over the dinette and that was way up on the ceiling making things a little dim for playing cards & table games. We tried to order our 3670 with an extra light over the cabinet that...

    Black Water Flush Water Leaking In Bathroom

    This happened to me after a couple of months of use. The rig was still under warranty so the dealer did the repair. It happened later to a friend of mine with another BH (different model). Once again, the same dealer did the fix. Our dealer's service dept said that this is a common problem...

    First Bighorn Trip

    Road Trip 'Glad to hear your trip was so good. We took the mother of all road trips last July. We went out to San Diego from our home in Southeast Texas for the birth of our first grandchild. We towed our BH 3670 and it was flawless. We shared the rig with our son's in-laws and they split...

    Tires

    I'm still on the factory installed Continental "Contitrac TR" tires that came with the truck. I've got 40,000 miles right now with about 1/3 of that towing my BH 3670. Based on then remaining tread I would guess that they will probably make 60,000 miles which is pretty good. Most of you like...

    Have these problems?

    Hitch Coupling For stubborn TT hitch couplings you might want to first spray down all the mechanism with WD-40. If it still doesn't want to latch, lower the front jack until all the weight rests on the trailer ball, chock the trailer wheels and then VERY CAREFULLY try to pull forward slightly...

    Extra Light Over the Dinette

    We noticed on a friend's BH that there wasn't a lot of light over the dinette when we were playing cards. The only light above the table is a 12 volt ceiling fixture. When our BH 3670 RL arrived the first mod we made was adding a 12 volt two bulb fixture (just like the rest of the lights in the...

    Maiden Voyage

    Check List Greetings, All! I can see that this thread is getting a little stale, but I'll reply anyway. The checklist thing is a great idea. I have one saved in the computer and I modify it from time to time. I always print off a copy and use it EVERY time I hitch up. My son is in the...

    Funny Camping Story

    Forrest, It was the best show in town that night. I was tempted to retire and join their group on the spot just for the nightly entertainment. Warren

    Funny Camping Story

    There's no way to make this story any shorter so dig in and enjoy. I think it's worth it. We were camped along a river in New Braunfels, Texas. All the riverfront campsites were reserved by an eleven unit caravan of snowbirds that were coming in from New Mexico that evening so we were camped...

    Drain hose

    Drain Hose 'Good replies here. Even though the cubby hole on the street (left) side will accomodate sewer hoses, I still carry a length of PVC sewer pipe with a threaded cap on both ends for my biggest sewer hose. I even have a carry handle in the middle (if you do this be sure to put the...

    Towing Speeds

    I agree with everyone here. I like to drive at about 60 mph. With the diesel pick-up trucks that we have these days we could actually drive as fast as we want and it would be no problem for the truck. Stopping, however is another matter. Even with trailer brakes we are trying to stop a total...

    BigHorn purchase

    Big Horn or Landmark? Bunnie, We ordered our BH 3670RL and it should get here in a few weeks. We too were torn on whether to go for the Landmark Augusta (same floor plan as the 3670RL) and decided to stay with the Big Horn. The cost difference was about $10,000.00 (more or less) and the quality...

    Mud flaps and wax

    Wax for the RV I have used ProtectAll for years and I'm very happy with it. It contains carnuba wax so it is a good protector and it's in liquid form so it's easy to apply. You spray on a small ammount and spread it around with a rag. Then you immediately buff the area with a dry cloth. You...

    My perfect Heartland RV (wishing)

    If I had My Way If I had my way all RVs would have an interior design similar to a very functional and casual hunting or fishing camp rather than a fancy, upscale Fifth Avenue condo. Oh well - all of the guys out there know that the women have the only vote on stuff like this. LOL! :D

    Tripod under the kingpin

    We have used the tripod on our previous 5th wheel & it seemed to help. Our new BH is on order and I've been told by a friend with a 3055 that the rear stabilizers work well because of the additional cross bracing front to rear on them. I am very sensitive to even the slighteat jiggle so I've...

    Outside Access Under Booth Dinette

    I know that we are in the minority, but we prefer a booth dinette instead of the free standing table & chairs. The reason is that we occasionally need the bed and the storage under the seats is nice. We ordered our '08 3670RL with the booth and asked about outside access doors for the storage...

    BigHorn or the competition?

    Brian, We are in the process of ordering a Big Horn 3670 RL. We made this choice because of quality (we had issues with a previous trailer from another manufacturer) and floor plan. We checked out Montana, Cedar Creek, Cardinal, all Newmar products, Jayco and probably some others that I've...

    Common tow vechiles

    While a 3/4 ton truck will handle the trailer you describe, a 1 ton truck will serve you better in the long run. You may someday want a bigger trailer. Also, I've never heard anyone complain about having too much truck. My TV is a 2005 Ford F-350 with single rear wheels (I didn't want duals)...

    With the angled corners anyone still use slider

    I have a Pullrite 24k Super Slider (auto slider) hitch because I needed it for my previous 5th wheel. Especially for getting into my narrow driveway from my narrow street. My 3670 RL is on order and I guess I'll just keep the slider because I don't want to buy another hitch and also because I...

    3670 floor plan question

    The '08 3670 RL we ordered will have that closet. The '08s on the dealer's lot also have it.
