    Pressure fill water tank - 3670RL

    Ok, I put a hose in the water tank and wandered away, and forgot about it. While in the trailer talking on the phone I heard a pretty solid 'kunk' and realized the water tank had been filling away, unattended. Returned to find water gushing out of the vent. So, I obviously pressure filled it...

    Trip to factory

    Hi - So, I'd like to get a couple of issues looked at w/ my new 3670RL and I figure the factory is the best way to go. Coincidentally, I'm going to be flying out of Chicago for a couple of month trip to Europe. So, a couple of questions: 1) Do I need to make an appointment to be seen? 2)...

    Quartzsite, winter 2008

    Hanging out in the desert warm at Quartzsite for the winter. This is the high time, when the main show is on. I'm out at Scaddan Wash (a 14 day free BLM area), surrounded by campers, fifth wheels, trailers and tents of every size and price point. Seeing quite a few BHs - at least one other...

    Cabinet out of plumb!!

    Was looking at the cabinets over the forward counter on my new 3650RL, and noticed they did not line up with the ceiling or the heater air intake above them - they're dropped significantly on the exterior wall side. That's kind of disappointing, as I look at it - cabinetry work was a big seller...

    Oven pilot won't stay lit

    Title pretty much says it - I light it, it stays on for a bit, and then goes out. It stays on long enough that I've lit the oven, but after I turn off the oven, it goes out, again. (I'm leaving the dial on the 'pilot' setting.) So, I have a workaround - I can use the oven if I light it each...

    Tight turns - stress on axles, wheels, tires?

    Was backing into a site and was pushing at a pretty high angle and happened to look at the wheels - the front wheels were skewed way to the inside of the turn, and the back wheels were skewed in the opposite direction. Then I noticed they do the same thing when I'm pulling in a very tight (like...

    Mounting things on walls

    I've got a few bits and pieces of things I want to mount on the wall - paper towel rack, knife block, pics, etc. What's the liability of screwing into the exterior walls? Work ok? Disaster? Use expanders? The cabinets must be screwed in, but I don't see where (a compliment to the finish...)...

    Thought on 'L-Shaped' counter units

    Have a 3670RL and love all the counter space. And those big, deep stainless sinks are wonderful. However, as I'm working in it, I realize I'd be more overjoyed if the sink and the stove were swapped. I don't know what the design considerations would be - possibly a hood over the open stove...

    New 3670RL - On the Road!!

    New BigHorn 3670RL - On the Road!! I've held off posting in this section until I was officially underway - I've posted other places over the last two weeks with questions, tech issues, etc while the trailer was being worked on. That consisted of pulling a generator from an older unit and...

    Wish list...

    1. Less entertainment/comfort options, more serious work/desk options. I pulled the recliners and will be putting a large work-counter/desk and file cabinet in the rear. Probably be pulling the TV's, as well. Like to put in a projector/drop-down screen setup for movies (I guess the latter is...

    Generaator stress on frame?

    Generator stress on frame? Hi - I'm getting a new 3670RL and have an Onan 6K generator I'm wanting to transfer from another unit. It's a good generator and can save me a $5K+ options expense for a new generator. I imagine it is a heavy thing - I'm wondering if it would stress the frame? Are...

    Soon to be a not-prospective buyer...

    So, as my DSW likes to say, "I drank the kool-aid." Put a big down on a 3670RL at a local dealer. Finalizing tomorrow. Done deal. The weather is miserable. Take care of a few things here, and head to QZ ASAP. Probably have lots of questions for you all, here. And, maybe a few things to...

    Laminate floor?

    Here's a biggee: Anyone tried putting a laminate floor in the main living area? I know you have to leave carpet in the slideouts to effect a good seal, but I'd much rather not have carpet in the main area from the kitchen back to the rear window. Seems like putting in a laminate floor in that...

    Gooseneck ball + adapter + 3670RL Bighorn

    So, I've got a truck with a killer gooseneck ball installed in it, already. Looking to get the 3670RL (which is a moderately heavy trailer - 12K dry). I can get that all cut out and replaced with a plate, but I'm wondering if a gooseneck adapater would work? Gooseneck ratings are pretty high...

    Reefer size question

    Got a question regarding reefer options: The reefer that comes in the prospective unit I'm looking at is the 'standard' 80cu ft model. Seems kind of small. We like to cook. The dealer suggests the 90cu ft model adds more space, but then a lot of the new space is taken up with the ice maker...

    Buying new - anyone had experience customizing?

    Hi, all - I'm looking at a 3670RL and the price looks pretty good, but if I'd had my druthers, I'd really like to change a couple of things. In particular: Hardwood/synthetic hardwood floor in the main area instead of carpet (I know - the slidouts have to be carpeted and the floor has to be...
