I am sorry to say that we gave up our 2010 Bighorn 3670RL for a brand new Coachman Brookstone 385FL Diamond Edition (I know, an SOB). Although for the most part we loved our Bighorn, after almost two years of full-timing we determined that we wanted something different (less kitchen, more living...

Re: Truck for pulling 3670RL Hi Dylan, I have a 2010 3670 that I have pulled with both an f250 short bed and an f350 dually long bed. Both trucks were 2007 4X4 crew cabs. Both also had the 6.0 liter engine. Both trucks pulled the trailer just fine, however I prefer the f350 dually. The primary...

Bill, No it wasn't us. We came up through Montana into Canada. It might have been "aatus", I think they were going workcamping in Kenai.

The valance is screwed to the wall with 4 screws on the inside of the the valance. Two are on the bottom inside underneath a fold of fabric. The other two are underneath the top of the valance.

Welcome to Fairbanks! Terri and I have been here since the 8th of May workcamping at Adventures in Alaska, which also owns Chena Marina and RV Park. Glad you made it over the Top of the World Highway ... we drove it last weekend to Dawson and back, just with the truck though. Send me an email...

Dave - We were in Dawson City on 7/2. Drove over from Chicken, AK. I assume you will be taking the Top of the World and Taylor Highways from Dawson to Chicken, and then on to Tok. Word of advice - be very careful. On the US side, both roads are in terrible condition. Both are dirt roads until...

Funny how a lot of your pictures look like the same ones we took on the way up.

I'm sure for the right price you could talk one of us out of our 2010 3670's so we could upgrade to a Landmark!

Dave - we stayed at the same campground on the way up ... only there was snow on the ground (but no bugs). Get used to the bugs, especially the mosquitoes. With respect to DirecTV .... good luck. None of my fellow work campers here in Fairbanks were able to get there's to work. You need a bigger...

If your unit is still under warranty, I suggest you get it fixed as soon as possible. I had the same thing happen to our unit in the same spot and it got bigger. My unit was NOT under warranty (we purchased it used from a dealer) and it cost me $2,000 to get it fixed. Turns out that a floor...

It is expensive. The cost for us is $5,100, which includes our Bighorn 3670, F350 dually, two dogs and a cabin from Juneau to Bellingham. We figure we will only do it once in our lifetime.

We took the same trip from Sweetgrass to Fairbanks almost two months ago. We crossed into Canada on the 22nd of April and arrived here in Fairbanks on the 8th of May. Worst part of the trip was between Burwash Landing and the Alaska border. Hopefully the road has improved since we came through...

Nope ... and it's too late now. We arrived in Fairbanks over a month ago and will be here the entire summer.

We stayed at Woody Acres in Fulton last winter and plan on returning this year. It's an older park but well maintained. Last year we paid 375 per month and 15 cents per KWH for electricity. They have a pool, two jacuzzis, exercise room, pool tables and numerous activities going on every week.

How well do slide toppers work with snow. We've had snow in several places we've camped.

We actually went up through Montana, Calgary and Edmonton. Took 43 to Dawson Creek.

Thanks for all the recommendations. And good travelling to those who are planning on coming. We arrived in Fort Nelson today. It was a six hour drive from Dawson Creek. Roads are for the most part in good shape. Some rough spots, but no snow or ice. There were two down grades of 9 - 10...

John - The furnace needs less pressure to work than the generator. Our furnace worked fine when the it was freezing outside, but the generator would only run for two hours on the full tank. If I switched to the other full tank the same thing happened. During the day when it was warmer, I could...

I wish I knew. I haven't had to run it in warm weather yet for any length of time.

Hi all - finally figured out what the problem was. The dealer replaced the regulator, but that didn't help. What I found after doing a lot of research is that when the temperatures get cold, pressure in the propane tanks drop and don't deliver sufficient fuel to the generator. I have found that...

We arrived in Dawson Creek this afternoon (April 26, 2011) to start the trek up the Alaska Highway. We are leaving Dawson Creek on the 28th en-route to Fairbanks. Our itinerary is as follows: Fort Nelson - April 28 - 29 Muncho Lake - April 30 Watson Lake - May 1 - 2 Teslin - May 3 Whitehorse -...

One more thing to check on our trailer! Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks guys for the information. I will check out the tanks and lines and get back to you.

What is a "sail"?

I need help with a peculiar problem. Last night we were dry camping and had the fridge running off propane. Since we wanted to watch TV and run the fireplace, I lit off the generator. It started and seemed to run fine so I switched the fridge to electric. The furnace however would not light...

Thank you for the link! We are headed to AK this year (leaving from Virginia on 3 April headed to Fairbanks via the most direct route).

We also have a BH3670 and weren't happy watching tv from the recliners at the back of the trailer. So we began switching the couch and chairs by using the sliders. However, we still found the chairs difficult to move due to weight and bulk. So we just recently changed the chairs out for Lazy...

We use a bike rack attached to the ladder. Have had no issues in over 5 thousand miles it's been there.

I am coming to Alaska this spring/summer. Would you send me a copy of the Google Earth file? I am asking here because I can't seem to find your email on the site. My email is lcdrdean@earthlink.net. Thanks.

Re: 2011 Alaska Trip.. We are going to Alaska in 2011. We will probably be leaving from VA in late March or early April. We are looking into work camping while in Alaska.

My understanding is that it pays what Tricare does not. I am still researching but think I will be going with MOAA's policy. You can search Tricare supplements on the web.

We have a 2010 BH 3670 which came with a 12 gallon water heater. We have found that one can take a shower without turning the water off at all. I normally run the water heater only on electric, except if we are taking back to back showers, then I turn the gas on too. We can take back to back...

I too will be interested in any responses. My current insurance at the end of my severance period in November. I have used it as my primary insurance and Tricare Standard as my secondary. After November, Tricare standard will be my primary insurance, but since it only pays 75 percent, I...

Thanks guys for the info. Perhaps Heartland should update their manual.

We have the yellow sticker on the door jam, however it only shows how much weight we can add to the trailer, not the empty weight. The one I am looking for is the Specification Label (also called Trailer Weight Rating placard) referenced in the first paragraph on page 6 of the owner's manual...

We purchased our 2010 Bighorn 3670 in October 2009. The label that is supposed that shows the empty weight, etc. is not posted in the kitchen cabinets, nor anywhere else. I need a copy to show the DMV in South Dakota in order to register my trailer. Can you provide a duplicate label for VIN...

Could you try adding picture again? The link doesn't appear to be working and I have the same fridge issue that on my 3670.

We have stayed at the Rodanthe KOA numerous times with our SOB trailer (haven't been with our new BH yet). It is always enjoyable. Since I am in VA just north of King's Dominion, we always take 95 south to 295 to 460 east. I have found the ride much more enjoyable with a lot less traffic and...

What about the bike racks that attach to the ladder? Anyone have any experience with them?

Re: From "wannabe" to "Going-to-be" Bighorn Owner I agree with winter being too long. Our BH 3670 was out for it's maiden voyage in October and it's been sitting in the driveway since. Won't have this problem next winter ... we will be full timing somewhere with no snow!
