Been waiting to hear back from Heartland as well as Lippert regarding a receiver/hitch to mount onto the existing factory installed brackets. My dealer has called as well as myself and no one seems to know anything about the hitch. I know since the brackets were installed by you all or Lippert that there has to be a receiver/hitch to go onto them. I appreciate a response on this issue. Steve A. Dagro
Receiver for 2011 Bighorn 3670RL
- Thread starter sdagro
- Start date
the 2011 model Bighorn units have factory installed brackets that allow you to add a receiver bike hitch. This can be added to your Bighorn - the part # is 50745 (Bike Hitch, Curved: Lippert) and can be ordered through our parts department. As an FYI - the bike hitch is rated for 150 lbs.
thanks, Coley

Much Thanks to you. Talked to a guy in parts at Lippert today and he seemed to be the most knowledgeable of anyone I've spoken to on this matter. He told me the wt. limit was 110# including the bike rack. I like your #'s better. Now I have a part # to identify with also. Can I call Heartland directly or should I go thru my dealer? Also measured the brackets on my 3670 and i think it was exactly 69". All the ones this parts guy told me about were like 65 5/16 and shorter. Can you confirm that for me?? Thanks again and I await your reply

I've got the same coach and am going to get the receiver also. Anyone know what these things cost?
Lippert emailed me last week with a part# also and told me the price was $131.25. The part # is not the same as Heartland but perhaps they just have there own part #. Hopefully Coley with Heartland will give us a price also. Picture of bracket seems correct, and so is the measurement. Just want price from Heartland. Steve A. Dagro
What is the procedure to order this hitch from Heartland? Phone number? Order form? Thanks in advance. Steve A. Dagro

Hey Jim:
I wonder if by chance this would be adaptable to a 2010 BH3670. Guess I will have to call them and find out eh?

Hey guys,
After looking at the receiver as well as my brackets on the 2011 3670,they seem to be nothing more than a 10-12in piece of 4-5" channel welded to the frame on each side. That said, I would not attempt to weld to an already assembled 5ver for you don't know what is near there,ie, plastic holding tank etc. I would bolt the brackets onto the frame. Check with heartland prior to proceeding to check on warranty allowances. I am going to order my receiver tomorrow. Thanks for all the replies and I hope mine helps someone out as well. Steve A.

Ordered my hitch 2 weeks tomorrow and haven't heard anything yet. I was told from Heartland parts dept. that they would contact me when they received it to get CC info. Haven't heard from them yet. What is your advice. Thank you Steve
