    question about inflatable sofa/bed

    We caution the grandkids about the "canyon" at the head of the bed. Our problem and theirs is the bed wants to fold up in the middle. Is their a latch or something that I am overlooking that locks the frame to keep it from folding with GK's? Thanks, HOSS

    Black Water Tank Dump Handle

    My black tank leaks also. I can close the valve and it will push back out nearly a half inch by itself. I think something is lodged in the valve even though I flushed the tank until nothing but clear water running out. Took it to the dealer since it was still under waranty. In the future I will...

    Couple more questions for you lucky 2010 owners!

    I like the new doors with the "slam" style latches and gas struts. Wonder if it could be done to my early 2009 3670. If anyone has done a upgrade to their doors with the struts and new latches let me know if it is worth the effort. Thanks, HOSS

    Replacement Storage Compartment Locks

    More so than the new locks, I like the new gas struts that hold the doors open. Has anyone installed these on their basement doors and if so how much trouble were they to install.

    How did you hear about this forum's existence?

    Seen our first Heartland RV in Huntaville, Al. at the January RV Show and found out the dealer (Kuntry Mile Kampers) was located not far from home.

    H.O.T.E.L.: Help for folks who need a hand on the road

    This is a great idea. I am a member of the Goldwing Road Riders Association (GWRRA), and they publish a small booklet each year with the names of people who are willing to help fellow members of GWRRA who are in need of help. It covers every state, city and town all across the United States. It...

    Towing a Big Horn

    Airmec, I agree with geeksrus. The problem being after the truck and 3370 are loaded, is the braking. Just about everyone I know and have read about that started with the 2500 soon traded up to the 3500 because of the handling of the weight when it comes to slowing and stopping that kind of...

    Living room TV mods?

    Donna, we have the same problem in our 3670rl. The TV is up high and according to where you are sitting the colors are distorted. If there is a bralket or stand that the TV could be mounted to so it could be tilted down would be a great benefit. Hope there are some out there that has addressed...

    Heartland RVs Factory Website

    Jim, When we purchased our BH 3670rl back in January, it didn't have the pillows and shams that matched the comforter that came on the bed. When we asked the dealer where we bought the BH, they said that the pillows and shams were an added option. They said they would check and see if they...

    Potential new owner 3670

    We pull our 3670rl wit a 2008 Chevy 3500 dually with the Duramax/Allison combo. For me the dually is the only way to go when pulling something as big as the BH 3670rl. As Niles said above it greatly reduces the pucker factor when pulling in strong winds and rain. It just gives me more peace of...

    Towing BH 3670

    I have the 3670rl pulled by a 2008 Chevy 3500 Dually with the Duramax/Allison combo. I looked at the 2500's but decided on the 3500. Everyone I talked to about what truck when I decided on the 3670, said go with the 3500 dually and then there will be no worry about what you are pulling. Most...

    Winterizing the water system

    Living in the south here in Alabama, would it be worth doing all the winterizing I have read about here in the forum. Our winters are not as long and harsh as some of the northern states. Our BH 3670rl stays parked in a barn out of the elements even though it is not an insulated barn. Would it...
