Good point...I've flown into a couple with Google Earth and you are right. I do notice in one location there are a couple of big trucks parked along an adjacent street.

You'll like her when you get her..The 3600RL that is!! We got ours this past June and are looking forward to a Florida trip in March!

Hey TrukNutt..many thanks. Worked great!

Cheryl, please don't take this the wrong way..but the word Diesel is misspelled in your Signature...or did you do that on purpose to see if we were paying attention? :-)

When have traveled in the past (by car) we much prefer the Bob Evans restaurants over Cracker Barrel. So..while I know Cracker Barrel has RV parking at most locations...does anyone know about Bob Evans. I emailed the company and they say to go to their sight and use the Restaurant Locator...

Duramax has been known to have injector problems..and it's a V8. The Cummins inline 6 has fewer moving parts and is very powerful. If I was pulling a 3670, I would want mega power. A friend of mine who is a diesel expert told me "put as much warranty on 'er as you can because you can't afford...

Good luck with that Goldenbetty! We have the stock recliners, one of which leans..and upon consulting with the dealer..who consulted with Heartland, who in turn consulted with the manufactureer..we were told this "lean" was within tolerable design limits. How is that for a cop out? Interested...

We use a tripod and it does help with much of the shake when you're moving around in the RV. Make sure you get it tight enough. Means you need to let the RV down on it to tighten the legs and chains. You cannot get it tight enough by screwing the pin holder up into it.

Thanks for your perspective. Coming from the area..I would guess you know what you're talking about. We have booked into a park at Indian Wells. Hope that works for us. Very much looking forward to being there for the month of December!

Many thanks for your info and advice so far. Sailorand tuned me into the wind issue north of I-10. When I asked the gal at Sands about the wind there she admitted it can get pretty windy and is indeed less so, south of I-10. We are now looking at Indian Wells RV Resort. Anyone stayed there?

Hi from Ontario, Canada, We are looking into spending December in Southern Cal. and since you are located there, we are wondering if you know anything about parks in the Palm Springs are..or similar. We plan to attend the Rose Bowl Parade on Jan 1st, 2010. Thanks in advance! Dwight and Maureen...

All great info..but Jim, yours looks really promising. We will certainly try your idea of rolling up the shade with the awning. Many thanks, Dwight

We are planning a trip to southern California in December and would like to stay in the Palm Springs area..we think! Anyone have any favorite parks to share? We are currently looking at one called The Sands RV Resort at Desert Hot Springs.

Thanks, that will save me going nuts looking for it. I have not seen any switch that would indicate such..or that I don't know what it does.

Not surprised about NUWA, given the CEO's remarks last year and even viewing their products at shows. They weren't in the game anymore. Heartland has it right..now Jim, please tell the owners, etc. to keep strong on customer service. It is us owners who tell the story and spread the word! Many...

I didn't know there was a wind sensor! Are you sure there is one on the Bighorn? Anyway, good advice! Thanks

Thanks Jim. Maybe we'll wait to see what other people are doing in the park when we arrive.

I have an electric awning on my 3600RL. Since I'm fairly new with this unit and the awning..I'm wondering about tying it down and putting one of those sun shades on it..when we're parked at the camp in Florida for a month. Can anyone give me advice on this?

Just to echo what everyone else here has said.. we looked at both the 3670 and 3600RL..before buying and did get to see the 3670 live..however we did not see the 3600 before buying. We made the decision in favor of the 3600 because it offers a bit more living room space. The 3670 gives more...

Sorry Rickbsgu..longer (meaning more cycles) but not stronger assuming the batteries are of wet cell design. AGMs will give you higher voltage closer to their drop point and of course are maintenance free. Remember my friend, 12.86 volts is 100% charge for any 12 volt battery..again, regardless...

I believe the only real difference between the 2500 (3/4 ton) and the 3500 (1 ton) is the rear springs and tires. I also believe this is essentially true of Ford and Chev as well..at least it is with my Dodge. If you beef up your rear suspension with air bags..you'll have no problem. Of course...

We've had the 3600RL for nearly a year and love it. Enjoy your counter space!

Why don't you come up and see us here in Canada? Change of scenery from that boring ole' CA? :-) On second thought..maybe way til spring... Welcome aboard!

Welcome to the forum Ron and Rhonda! Mind my asking, what you haul in the back of your Cyclone?

The good news is, when you folks are done with your economy down there..the roads will likely be a lot less crowded!! :-)

Just to clarify, 6 volt batteries won't hold a charge any longer than 12 volt batteries...assuming of course they are of like design ie; wet cell! Depending on the design, they will handle more cycles because the plates are thicker. A cycle is a discharge and charge..provided the discharge is...

Lights are fine but they don't really indicate what an RV or long trailer of any kind needs to often do in order to turn right from the right hand lane. Folks who don't pull a trailer are not aware..so the sign kind of provides a bit of instant education. Provided of course they can read. A...

A real bunch of comedians we have on here eh? Did you catch that?..I'm Canadian eh! Anyway, my thinking is that even with the signal light..if a vehicle has been following for a bit..sees the signal, then you swing a bit left..they might be lulled into thinking you're changing lanes or...

We are quite new at this. We just bought the truck and trailer in the spring and have pulled it only about 3 times. Shook it down for a month at an RV park this summer..to get the bugs out. We'll be taking it to Florida for a month in March..and with this weather, we can hardly wait!

Excellent..many thanks for the link!

I'm at Kitchener/Waterloo...usually not in the snow belt..but this year we've had more than normal. I'll go check it when the wind and snow stop blowing around here :-)

Last summer I saw a 5er with a decal on the back which read "This vehicle makes wide right turns!" I thought that would be great to put on mine. Can anyone tell me where to get these?

Thanks! I kind of thought the roof should hold a fair amount of weight. I watched them being built at the factory and the trusses are quite substantial. I'm not intending to go up there if I don't have to.

Anybody know how much snow the roof on a Bighorn will take before I need to clean it off? I'm not real keen on getting up there in the middle of winter.

Hi Clint and Judy, Have you pulled your unit much yet?

I have an '08 Dodge Ram 3500 Short Box, single rear wheels.. with a Reese Signature Series 18k..and a manual slider. Never used the slider and have cranked her just about 90 degrees with no issues. But you need to be mindful and watch it. The slider does not make any noise or shuck as far as I...

This spring we purchased a 3600RL, dry weight 12,000, and am pulling with an '08 Dodge, Quad Cab, single wheel, short box 4X4. This truck has a 6.7 Cummins with a builtin Jake Brake, Tow/Haul and Auto 6 tranny. So far about 10,000Km and the unit is fabulous. Mileage while pulling in Canadian...

Thanks for the clarification. You are right! The fan would only run 50 to 65% of the time, depending on temperature. The good news is, I'm certain we can easily get a night out of the batteries.

Many thanks. Actually I was thinking of only overnight..as we'll be traveling to Florida next March from Waterloo, Ont..and would likely need to use a Wal Mart or Flying J on the first night..as most campgrounds in MI and OH are closed that early. I have two, Group 27, 12 volt Deep Cycles...

Does anyone know whether the furnace fan is 12 volt or 120 volt? Also..if 12 volt, how long will it run on a full battery charge?
