    Wall mounting a flat panel TV in the bedroom of a 2012 Bighorn 3055.

    If you still need an answer, no there is not proper backing in the rear wall. I have a 32" flat screen in our 2011 BH 3070 and I mounted the swing bracket to the side cabinet with an additional 3/4" piece on the inside of the cabinet. It has worked out very well.Chris

    Quailty is missing at heartland

    Re: Quailty is missing at hearland Can't help but chime in here. I posted a thread about our service/quality issues a few weeks back. We have a 2011 BH 3070 that we full time in since Oct. 2010. We have had many service issues with our BH. And it is still ongoing. The latest things now to have...

    Big Horn and Service Woes

    Sounds like I need to provide some additional information to make clear our BH problems and also give credit to Heartland's customer service. The "fairly major issues" are as follows: (we did a two day PDI at the dealer and these were either not seen at the time or developed after) -The...

    Big Horn and Service Woes

    Just got back from our second service on our 2011 BH 3070 at Bill Thomas Campers in Wentzville, Mo. We purchased the unit from them last fall and had the first warranty service (for many items; I don't about other BH owners, but I have had a number of fairly major issues with my rig) at the end...

    Replacement parts

    Update on the replacement parts. I called Heartland and they gave me the info. on the parts ordered. It did take almost 3 weeks for them to ship the parts to my dealer. One of the parts they shipped was the wrong part. I guess the only good thing I found out was Heartland will replace my...

    Replacement parts

    I am currently waiting on a few replacement parts under warranty from the dealer I bought my 2011 3070 BH from. It has now been almost five weeks waiting and the service manager is saying usually they get parts in 2-3 weeks but now 4-5 weeks. That's longer than it took to order and build my...

    FULL TIME vs PART TIME

    We have been full timing in our 2011 BH 3070 for over 7 months. I would say that the difference is mainly in the daily use of the unit. I personally don't think that many of the interior items (carpet, chairs, curtains, countertops, refrigerator, mattress, cooktop/stove etc.) are really built...

    Anyone Have the 3070RL

    We have the 3070RL. Purchased it at the end of Oct. 2010. We really like the floor plan. We have the island, which gives us much more counter space and storage. The closet space in the bedroom is great (we are full timing for a least a year right now). We have found a few things that need to be...

    Take along ladder?

    Can you provide more details on carrying your two kayaks under your 5th wheel. Are they hard shell? How long are they. What style of kayaks? I have two hard shell sit-on-tops that I would really like to carry but haven't found a way to do it. I have a BH 3070RL. Thanks so much Chris

    Receiver hitch for 3610re

    Exdwarfer We just took delivery of a 3070BH two weeks ago and we were looking for a hitch for our bikes. The unit we looked at on the dealer floor had the bracket for installing the hitch. But BH has now stopped making the frames with the bracket. So I think you will not be able to get the...

    New BH3070RL Some disappointments

    Hi All Thanks for all the replys. My wife and I are still overall very happy with our BH. We have been camping/rving for over 35 years. So looking at issues with this rig is based on previous units we've had. The issues of water leaks (be it roof, sinks, showers or windows) is so critical to an...

    New BH3070RL Some disappointments

    We have just completed our first week in our new 3070. We really like the layout (we got the optional island and think it is great) and many nice features of the unit. I have to say however we are disappointed by many things we are finding in our first week (we are full timing for at least a...

    bike rack hitch

    HI All Thanks for all the imput. I agree with Bob that the factory stopping with the brackets on the frame is a step back. I have ordered an adjustable hitch that I can have welded onto the frame for the bike rack. If welding a hitch to the frame for a bike rack voids the warranty, then I may...

    bike rack hitch

    Thanks Bob. We currently have a bike rack on the back of our 5th wheel. We have the swagman carrier that holds the bikes very well and we get some bounce but not bad at all. I have seen several bike carriers on the front which looks like it would be much more difficult to get the bike on and...

    bike rack hitch

    I am having a 3070 built. I contacted my dealer to ask about a receiver installed at the factory for my bike rack. The salesman indicated that the frame (which was on the production line) would not have the bolt holes for the hitch so they could not install one. Yet the frame on the unit we saw...

    Mounting tv swivel at bedroom tv area

    The opening at the cabinet will only allow a 22" tv. What I would like to do is mount a swivel arm base to the side of the cabinet (next to the one with the door) which would allow me to mount the tv outside the two sides of the cabinet area they have set up for the tv. I will put a strap...

    Mounting tv swivel at bedroom tv area

    Dave Thanks for the reply. Did you run your bolts all the way through the side to the other cabinet? That would make the most sense to me. Not sure how I will determine where the roof truss is located to mount a bracket for strapping the tv for travel. Any help there? Thanks Chris

    Mounting tv swivel at bedroom tv area

    Thanks to all for the imput. Mounting to the side of the cabinet wall does seem to make the most sense. Also thought about strapping the tv for travel. Now I just need to get the new unit to try it out! Thanks again Chris

    Mounting tv swivel at bedroom tv area

    We are having a 3070rl built next month and was wondering how it would be best to mount a tv swivel base to the back wall at the tv area of the bedroom. We want to be able to mount a 32" tv onto the swivel base. Not sure if the factory can tell me where would be best to screw the base to the...

    New owner of 3070rl Others out there?

    Thanks Jim We have been RVing for many years but this is our first "new" unit. We will be camping overnight at the RV dealership (they set up a section for complete setups: water, elect. sewer) to transfer all our "stuff" from our Wildcat to the new BH (I did make a mistake on the BH vs BC). We...

    New owner of 3070rl Others out there?

    Just signed the papers for a new 3070 unit. Wife and I really liked the layout, weight of trailer (pulling with 05 F-250 6.0L) and Heartland quality. We looked at several other brands in the similar price range and Heartland won out. We are getting the optional island installed and the...
