    I want to thank all the Heartland Forum members who so patiently answered my questions and concerns over the years of owning our 2008 3670RL Bighorn. We have sold it and replaced it with a cabin. I highly recommended to the new owners that they join your site and continue to benefit from all the...

    Big Country Roof Help Needed

    I took your advice and did the same thing to our 3670RL 2008 last summer. It was an evil job to complete by myself but I won't let my huge husband on that roof, no matter what! Now I don't have to worry about caulking, ever again! :D

    Fire Place

    We have used the fireplace to heat our unit (2008 3670RL) during the cool spring and fall days, as well as during the night for almost ten years. We have never had any issues at all, and I prefer the quiet electric heat over the furnace firing up right under our bed! We also have installed...

    slide rubber replacement

    I also need to replace all the slide seals on my 2008 3670RL and am baffled by the descriptions on line, as well as the photos sent by the Heartland service department. Apparently they DO ship to Canada but I will likely be horrified at the shipping costs. The seals on our trailer seem to be a...

    Birds nest in pinbox.

    I battled barn swallows continuously making nests under our slides and in the pin box until I discovered that hanging some cheap windsocks (with the long, fluttering strips) would keep them away. I periodically had to go untangle the strips to keep them flapping properly but no birds nested...

    Costco portable induction hotplate

    I bought a Costco Salton brand induction hotplate for our camper last year and I liked it so much I bought another one for my kitchen counter at home. It is quick and easy, boils water so much faster than the kettle but the fan noise is a bit annoying. I also like that it is a safer heat source...

    Cracks outside, and inside :(

    We towed our Bighorn to the factory for a frame flex repair and stayed in a Heartland recommended lovely suite of rooms for a very reasonable rate. During the five days of our factory repair we explored the nearby Amish country and met some delightful people, including the gang down at Pete's...

    Repair of side

    A small crack in the fiberglass in the bottom corner of the bedroom slide is what alerted me to something amiss. The next year, a crack appeared in the opposite corner and at that point I contacted Heartland with photos, VIN number, etc. We bought our 2008 3670RL Bighorn new, so we were still...

    Possible Frame Flex

    Our 08 3670RL had several fibreglass cracks at the bottom corners of the bedroom slide that alarmed me, as well as the pin issues you describe. (This was in the fall of 2012.) I took photos, contacted the Heartland factory with our VIN number and they promptly got back to me. We arranged a...

    Apollo 1/2 time oven microwave function not working

    Okay...Ellie (OP) is back with an update on my deceased Apollo Half Time Oven. I found a black Panasonic Genius (Inverter model) that fit very closely in the black bevel surrounding the Apollo. After my husband heaved the Apollo beast into the back of my truck for me to take to the recycler, I...

    Apollo 1/2 time oven microwave function not working

    I KNEW you folks would help me out!!! I have taken measurements of the actual unit, as well as the size of the opening with the trim piece so I will now search for a microwave that fits. I rarely used anything but the microwave mode so that is all I will look for as a replacement. I am assuming...

    Apollo 1/2 time oven microwave function not working

    We have the original Apollo Model AAC24BIB in our 2008 3670RL Bighorn. The microwave function quit today, but all other modes work. We are located in Saskatchewan, so I doubt we have a nearby repair dealer. Has anyone suggestions about troubleshooting? I would consider replacing with just a...

    The different sounds of living in an RV - and your interactions with animals.

    We had some very persistent barn swallows building underneath our slides at the lake where we park our Bighorn for the camping season. I found the only thing that worked was to hang a windsock with streamers at each end of the slides. (I had to trim some of the streamers so they didn't drag in...

    Outside Ladder.

    I refuse to allow my husband (260 pounds) to climb the rickety ladder on our Bighorn. My terror of heights was overcome by my desire to NOT be a widow, and I do the climbing when necessary. We use our 3670 as a cabin during the summer, therefore I have access to a six foot stepladder in our shed...

    Clean Clear Shower Doors?

    Our Bighorn is used as our summer cabin and the water supply is very hard out there. I found the best spot and streak remover for the entire shower was a scotchbrite pad attached to a clear plastic wand that I filled with a half and half solution of Blue Dawn dish soap and vinegar. It worked so...

    Best route from Saskatoon, Sask. to Heartland factory in Elkhart?

    Thanks for the advice, Brian! As of right now, Highway 75 is no longer closed but I will print out your suggestions in case we have to use that route on the way home after our warranty work. We appreciate your help. Ellie

    Best route from Saskatoon, Sask. to Heartland factory in Elkhart?

    We are preparing to tackle the very long journey from our home in Saskatoon, Sask. to the factory in Elkhart. Our preferred route heading south of Winnipeg on Highway 75 (connecting to I-29) is now closed due to flooding and will likely remain closed for many weeks. Since our our Bighorn 3670RL...

    Type of Mattress

    We thought our Bighorn had a mattress that was like sleeping on a sidewalk! I went to Costco and bought one of those king sized gel mattress pads and we now love our Bighorn bed more than our new, expensive Sealy at home. You do have to let the gel pad air out for a few days after you open the...

    ceiling fan

    We have the same rig with the same fan. I feel your wife's pain with the annoying whine this fan makes while running at any speed. (DH is oblivious to the noise, apparently!) My dilemna has been to find a fan unit that is compatible with fitting into that space with the slides closed so the...

    A president's speech we all would like to hear!

    Perhaps you are not aware that Canadian troops have been in Afghanistan since January, 2002 and many Canadian soldiers' lives have been sacrificed fighting the Taliban. Canadian forces have taken a larger role since 2006, and are currently part of the International Security Assistance force...

    Replacing "china bombs" in Canada

    Thank you so much for all the advice! I LOVE this website and all the contributors who are sincerely wanting to help. It looks like we will have to go with Goodyear G614's but they aren't rated for any more weight than the "china bombs" we have now. We are still looking for something a little...

    Replacing "china bombs" in Canada

    Alas, we have discovered two more tires with ominous bulges on our BH3670RL (2008 model). This unit has very few miles and is stored inside all winter. We have already replaced one of these tires six months ago, but had great difficulty finding tires rated for the weight and size of the trailer...

    Lets get started

    Re: Lets Get Saskatchewan started We've had our 3670RL (2008) for almost three years and it is still a thing of joy and beauty! The Saskatoon dealer, not so much. Dragged it through the mountain passes to California this winter and it travelled well in spite of ice, slush and blizzard...

    Changing to an electric awning on 2008 BH 3670RL

    Okay...I have some experience with a vicious home windowblind spring, so I can only imagine how far one could fly if the awning spring let loose! I am hoping to upgrade to that electric awning so that we can avoid losing the entire contraption in one of our sudden gusts of prairie "breeze". I...

    Changing to an electric awning on 2008 BH 3670RL

    Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! This is my first venture into a forum of any kind, and I am delighted to receive helpful information for my husband's next project! I will check out the local Heartland RV place and see if they stock this conversion kit. Otherwise it may have to wait...

    Changing to an electric awning on 2008 BH 3670RL

    We love our "Moose" and were able to take it on a nice long holiday to California this January. It was seldom used until then, and we have had some minor maintenance and warranty issues. Overall, we love this RV, but the manual awning is a real pain to deal with. My husband is well over six feet...
