| Re: Heartland North Trail travel trailer | Eric | I just bought a 2011 28 BRS. There are no speakers for the stereo in the bedroom and they somehow bypassed the tv speakers with the stereo so it's hard to watch DVD's in bedroom with no sound. Tires are poor quality, beware of blowouts. Cannot hook satellite to cable tv outlet at back of trailer,the outlet is for cable only. If you remove the 12V outlet under the tv and unhook the cable tv coax from the assembly and hook it directly to the tv it will work. Why? Why? Why? I would love to hear the explanation for that. Also the couch should have been hemmed on the bottom as threads keep pulling off the bottom skirting. Otherwise I love the trailer! |
| Re: Heartland North Trail travel trailer | Steve | I have a 21 foot North Trail. The microwave is not installed very securely. I had to redo the installation to keep it from bouncing out of its mount. Additionaly the rubber lips on the slide out leak occasionally. |
| Re: Heartland MPG liteweight teardrop trailer | Ray Family in Utah | After our family of 3 finally outgrew our T@B TQ, we upgraded to a MPG 183. We like the layout inside and having the bathroom with shower is going to be nice. Inside has decent storage, with 2 full pass-through storage(s) give you plenty of room to take gear. Tows VERY nice behind our 94 Ford Ranger XL 4X4 V-6 with the assist of a anti-sway hitch. FYI the radio is also a DVD player. None of the specs show this. Going to be fun in the mountains this summer. |

| Re: Heartland MPG lightweight teardrop trailer | Rhonda and Tom | We are the owners of the first MPG by Heartland on the East Coast. It's great. It's everything this article describes. We LOVE it! |
| Re: Heartland Sundance fifth wheel | Tom & Paula H | Picked up our 2010 297RE Sundance yesterday. Continue to be impressed by the fit,finish & function. Planning our first trip in two weeks. |
| Re: Heartland MPG lightweight teardrop trailer | Uncle Snap | My wife and I purchased the 183 off the floor while at the Charlotte NC RV fest last month. Very impressed with the balanced and light towing weight behind my '64 chevy 6-cyl sb truck (I am a classic car buff). Prodigy inertia electric brake controller all that was needed to make this a safe and sway-free ride to week-end campsites many hours away! Grandkids enjoy the bunk beds on inclimate days! With the slide, it's more spacious than the competition (Scamp, Tad, etc)- we've yet to fill up all exterior compartments! Found mis-wiring of tail lites and antennas -fixed easily by myself. Applied a non-slip padding under table top edges and under sink cover board to prevent movement while in tow. No other problems or needed mods. We like the modern engineering and construction techniques throughout(and it provides for a quiet evening while inside). The "retro" exterior completes the classic appeal. My wife likes the rubber-type laminate flooring and kitchen cabinets. I like the MPG's modern door, slide windows, and its curves. Have already spent 3 weekends with it! Oh... what about the MPG logo? Still waiting for response on that one. |
| Re: Heartland MPG lightweight teardrop trailer | EdwinMcCainMessenger | Yes, the MPG has a tall wardrobe. I have great color photos. |
| Re: Heartland MPG lightweight teardrop trailer | redcaddo | Looks interesting. Would like measurements. Is there a wardrobe or place for clothing? I do not see much storage. |
| Re: Heartland MPG lightweight teardrop trailer | Heartlandfan | We bought a Heartland Northtrail 31Red and absolutely love it!! I travel for work and have literally lived in it M-F for 18 months and still love it! I travel with my husband, 2 labs and a shiz-tzu!! |
| Re: Heartland MPG lightweight teardrop trailer | Chris | Terrific. I have a TAB and like it but the MPG looks like my next purchase. |
| Re: Heartland Edge ultralite travel trailer | Chuck | We bought a 2010 M21 and we're pleased. It weighs about 900 lbs more than our T@DA but, among many other features, it has 7 ft ceilings, a walk-around queen bed, and the same "Euro"-style windows we loved in the T@DA (why aren't these more common? Once you've had them, you're hooked!). We pull it with a 4-Runner with a weight-distributing hitch (highly recommended) and get 13 mpg overall. It is roomy, well-designed and comfortable. Our only complaint? My wife says it's interior color scheme must have been designed by a guy! Can't wait for travel season to start up again---I'll comment again if our opinion changes after our next 5000 miles.... |
| Re: Heartland Edge ultralite travel trailer | RJP47 | I love the M13 small version. Think its one of the cutest small travel trailers around. Nicer than the MPG from my view but waiting to actually see one. |
| Re: Heartland North Trail travel trailer | ROD | i am getting ready to purchse the 29BHSS. Can anyone tell me about the quality of this trailer |
| Re: Heartland Landmark fifth wheel | Tom Hartjes | We own the Landmark Augusta 08 and love it. Our only complaint would be the poor quailty of material used in the couch. It pulled apart at the seams after a years use. Had it recovered and now it's perfect. |
| Re:Heartland Bighorn 5th wheel | Dennis | also bought the 3385 and i have to say we used every weekend this summer and have had no problems at all it,s very well set up and is a center peice trailer for the rest of the park very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a well made and very well priced unit. |
| Re: Heartland North Country travel trailer | Tammy | We've had a bighorn spent last winter in Arizona with it and it was great. Now looking for a travel trailer rather than a 5th wheel and this looks perfect. |
| Re: Heartland Landmark fifth wheel | kay | I have a 2006 Montecello, rear den with four slides, excellent condition, slide awnings, onan generator and automatic satellite dish. Located in Moriarty NM kwilks02@comcast.net (505)220-5796 |
| Re: Heartland North Trail travel trailer | Don & Ericka | I would like to purchase a North Trail but the 280BH is just too long. Does anyone know if the 21FBS is available with the ramp door and fold up bed. I would buy it today if it were available. If you have any info I would appreciate an e-mail at ericka@amassoc.net |
| Re: Heartland Landmark fifth wheel | Parker | Our Landmark is now 1 week away from being one year old. We continue to think it is the best on the road. We only wish that the hitch weight was 200 pounds lighter. If you have a coach and need the best service, we found that Hayes Trailer Sales in Russellville, Kentucky is the best we have used. |
| Re: Heartland North Country travel trailer | KevinK | Heartland are good. I had a Bighorn for 2 years and we had very few problems and a lot of good times. Thinking of a travel trailer now and this looks good. Looking at the smallest model without slides. |
| Re: Heartland ElkRidge fifth wheel | Judy | I especially like the 34' model with the peninsula kitchen --other kitchens too small for real cooking. Only criticism would be that they do not offer 2-part bathrooms -- my strong preference. |
| Re: Heartland ElkRidge fifth wheel | Howard J | I'm a Heartland fan (I've had 2) and think the elkridge is the best so far. Love the loft arrangement. This is for me next time, |
| Re: Heartland North Trail travel trailer | freer | I just towed home our new 28 ft North Trail with a baic 1/2 ton and could not believe it. It towed better than our 2006 2200LB Bantam flier.Awsome trailer! |
| Re: Heartland Cedar Ridge extended stay trailer | Gordon Hughes | We've had 2 trailers and have used them mainly in just one location. We also pay for storage. It would be better to use one of these destination trailers and this looks good. |
| Re: Heartland North Trail travel trailer | USA | We can't wait for our new TT to arrive from the factory- I can not believe all the benefits to owning a North Trail- upscale RVing with low scale pricing! Thank you North Trail |
| Re: Heartland Landmark fifth wheel | P Day | We just purchased an 09 landmark and just love the lay out. After the dealership repaired a black water tank leak, a fresh water tank leak and replaced the fresh water tank pump 3 times we are finally on the road. It pulls effortlessly. We had to stop and have the rear air conditioner replaced and one of the blinds replaced and several popped screw heads replaced but after that nothing has gone wrong except some leaky pipe joints. The landmark is a great coach as long as it is under warranty. This coach has the best layout of them all. If you buy one, I would suggest you get one that is at least a year old so all the kinks are worked out. Great coach. |
| Re:Heartland Bighorn 5th wheel | tom and sandy | We have a 30LSTS cedar creek silverback. like it very much except we cannot stop along the road for lunch without extending one of the slides. Being new at 5ing we did not consider this. The bighorn 3055 remedies this situation well and would have some upgrades to our traveling. Any comments are welcome. tom and sandy |
| 2009 Heartland North Trail, 26rks | archbarb | We purchased the 2009 26rks for all of the great storage and private bedroom. We looked at many other brands, but the storage, 2" walls, enclosed underbelly, and not having to trade up to 3/4 ton truck sold us. Great product!!!!! |
| 2008 Heartland Sundance travel trailer | Cary K | I love the Sundance. After 5 months we;ve been totally satisfied. Minor problems resolved. We did a lot of research before we bought this product and we've not been sorry. |
| Re: Heartland Cedar Ridge destination trailer | Holly | We have a 2008 Sundance and we like it but I think what we really need is the Cedar Ridge extended stay. We spend most of our time in 2 places and I really like the big window look. Going to check them out. Thanks. Holly. |
| 2009 Heartland Landmark Augusta | Debby & Denis | Hi All, We have just purchased a Landmark Augusta it was between the pinehurst and augusta and augusta won because of the kitchen. We simply love it. Havn't towed it very far yet but will be heading south soon. I wish that I could say the same for the dealership we bought it from but as long as heartland honors our warranty work we won't have to deal with them again. Debby from Canada |
| 2005 Heartland Bighorn fifth wheel | Grace Knowles | I love the kitchen arrangement and the whole interior layout of the Landmark Augusta. We have a 2005 Hearland Bighorn and we love it but I'm definitely interested in a new Landmark. We're fulltimers and big Hearland fans. |
| 2009 Heartland Sundance 3300SK | TOM L | I am picking our 2009 Sundance 3300 sk on Saturday. Trading in our 03 mountaineer hoping it is a great rv. I was very impressed with all the bells and whistles for the price. I feel we really got a great deal. |
| 2008 Heartland Bighorn 3200 RL | Grace | We have a 2008 3200 RL and we love it. I like the walk-in wardrobe and all the storage. It's all good quality and well thought out with lots of features. |
| Re: Heartland Bighorn | Gene Sloan - Heartland Owners forum | Well, it finally happened. Our long awaited 2009, 3600 RL BH arrived. On May 20th, we took possession and pulled it home to put it on display during our 50th wedding celebration, May 24th. About a year ago we started thinking about what to get each other for this momentous occasion and it just all came together in a 3600 RL BH. We looked at park models, motor homes, 5th wheels and everything in between. We certainly didn't want to cheap out and not get the upgrades we had always dreamed of in 50 years of Rving. Grandma wanted a washer-dryer, a desk for her computer and lots of cupboard and closet space. Grandpa wanted a fireplace, a docking station, electric awning and lots of basement storage. Of course, there were other things that we both agreed were ncessary upgrades, such as stability, which we took care of with a set of strong arm stabilizers and an upgrade in 5th wheel hitch, which we took care of with the 20K Curt Q5. We also wanted a touch of luxury, which was taken care of with the BH woodworks, flat screen tvs, entertainment system and much, much more. We started working our way through the myriad of makes and models last Feb during a car trip to Az. We, at that point, had never heard of a BH. But as luck would have it, we stayed next door to a BH dealer in Mesa. Then our neighbor in the park, where we were renting, had a 2007 BH and volunteered to give us a tour. When we got back to ND we found a great BH dealer within 50 miles of where we live. We did a lot of comparing of prices and quality. No make or model came close to the 3600 RL BH. We also found the Heartland owners website to be a great service to prospective owners. The negative stuff is a little scary; however we have learned that nothing is perfect and some people handle our imperfect world by being positive and some by being negative. I thank Hearland for soliciting positive criticism. In my opinion it is helping to produce the best 5th wheel on the market today. Our new BH didn't come perfect, the dealer found a couple of minor defects and Grandma's keen eye found a couple. all being taken care of by a proud dealer.
Needless to say, our friends and relatives attending our 50th anniversary party were very impressed with our winter home on wheels. Meanwhile Grandma and Grandpa are looking forward to their 51st year of marriage and our first winter in our new BH in Salome, Az. It doesn't get much better than that. |
| Re: 2007 Heartland Bighorn | dickie sundance | I just love that big old horn. |
| 2008 Heartland Landmark | Jenny B | My husband and I looked at the Landmark 5th wheel in Quartzite, AZ. spring 2008. We were very much impress-ed with the quality inside and out. We are seriously considering trading our 5th wheel when we return to AZ in the fall. What I need to know is there a place located close to Indiana where we live 6 months throughout the summer that we can tour the factory where they are built, or where in Arizona is the closest dealership or factory that we can go to. We would perhaps we trading our current 5th wheel in, unless we can sell it out right. We plan on returning to Arizona sometime in September of this year. I would truly arrpreciate all information that you can send along with all the literature you have available. We are interested in something about 38 or so feet, interior colors, and all options that are available, as well as is this something we should order direct to get it exactly the way we want. This will be our 7th recrectional vehicle and probably our last. So I want to make sure this is something we can live the rest of our time out in, and enjoy it at the same time. I do not especially like the sofa that are made for like a loveseat for only two people, but the Augusta is the floor plan I like, with the exception of the small sofa. Thank you Jenny B. |
| Heartland Sundance 2900MK | gus graves | I am going full time soon. checking 5th wheels out for a year and fell in love with sundance 2900mk. see you all soon. |
| 2008 Heartland Cyclone 4012 Toy Hauler | Andy | I just put a down payment on a Cyclone 4012 Toy Hauler. The quality looks great and the layout is even better! We'll be living in this unit, so I hope it all works out.
|
| 2008 Heartland Bighorn | John Kemp | We have a 2008 Heartland Bighorn 3670RL and love it. The interior is superb with real hardwood cabinetry all at a good price. No problems with electrics. |
| 2008 Heartland Bighorn 3670RL | Bob and Linda | We have a 2008 3670RL and love it. We are having trouble getting the satellite in the bedroom to work. We have a second receiver but still no luck. any idea? Also, anyone got the wiring schematic for this 5r? closest service is over 70 miles away. |
| 2007 Heartland Bighorn 2995RK | Gil | We have had our '07 2995RK (31'-7") for a year now and are, overall, very pleased with the layout, materials quality, storage space and interior design. We are a little disapointed with some workmanship issues we have had, but all have been resolved and we still consider the Bighorn an outstanding value. |
| 2008 Heartland North Trail 21FBS travel trailer | bb | We are the proud new owners of a Heartland 21fbs. We believe you won't find a higher quality ultralite on the market. |
| Re: 2008 Heartland North Trail travel trailer | dj | We looked at the 28RLS at a show last month. We were very impressed with the quality and the fact that it is an ultralite means we can move into a quality 28' without changing tow vehicles. |
| 2007 Heartland Trailrunner 2700 BHS | Roger Coltman | We've been very happy with the Trailrunner. We really bought it because the salesman pointed out the welded aluminum sidewall frames instead of the usual wooden studs. We'd heard so many horror stories but this just can't rot like the wooden trailers. No problems at all so far. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 5/5. |
| 2008 Heartland Bighorn 3055 | F & A | We love our 2008 3055 Big Horn. The comfort and feel of home away from home makes this 5th wheel the best. We have had the problem with the leak in the bedroom slide but our dealership took care of us and the leak. |
| 2008 Heartland Bighorn 3055 | big J | I have a 2008 3055 big horn and have only used it 3 times so far. When in rain I am getting two small leaks in the upper two corners of the bedroom slide. Has anyone had this problem? What can be done to resolve this problem? The dealership just put some cocking to solve problem, but I don't think that is a true fix to the problem. The 5er otherwise is a awesome choice. Great value for the price. |
| Re: Heartland Razor | Travis | The Razor is a great product, love everything about it. |
| 2008 Heartland North Trail travel trailer | Ros K | I think this is a great RV. I like the ultralite aspect and I particularly like the ramp door access with the 280BH. After reading this I went to a dealer in Durango, CO and looked at what they had. We currently have a Keystone but need something with more facilities for our needs. We need to look at more but the North Trail looks real good. |
| Re: 2008 Heartland Landmark | Homer | I have friends that own a Heartland 5th wheel. It is beautiful and the craftmanship is very obvious. They are pleased with it and happy RVers. |
| Re: 2008 Heartland Landmark | Norman H | I have a class A costing about $300k. I love it but I am reminded constantly about the class A / 5th wheel argument. This looks as if it has all the beauty and facilities (and even more space) than my class A. I guess I just don't want to drive a tow truck. |
| 2008 Heartland Bighorn 3670 | sagefolk | We are getting ready to buy the same rig. We are really impressed with the r-values and am very interested in knowing about how it really holds up in the cold, cold! We are in OHIO so the weather here changes everyday, lol! |
| Re: 2007 Heartland Bighorn | John and Rita | Sorry, Tommy K, but the 3055 is also listed (on our computer) as "33'7," and there is no "extended hitch pin." The hitch is at almost exactly the same point as the "nose." Still, either measurement is a far "approximation" from the actual 36 feet. Yes, we also thought the unit was "great." But, because of the "misinformation," our garage would not accommodate it. We were VERY disappointed to have to return it. But the salesman has taken responsibility (even if Heartland would not). We would not discourage anybody who does not have space limitation from considering this RV. But all would be advised to be wary of company info. We'd like to prevent others from making our "mistake." Just musing, but we wonder if "Tommy K" is a pseudonym of "Heartland." Thanks for your input. J&R |
| 2008 Heartland Bighorn 3670 | Manon & John | My husband and I bought the Hearland Bighorn 3670 in August after research and we really love it! It's our second 5er and we had done a lot of internet research before buying this one. For the price point, it is really luxurious. We haven't had any problems with it. |
| Re: 2007 Heartland Bighorn length | Tommy K | To John and Rita. It looks to me like YOU made a mistake here. I have a 2007 Bighorn 3055. (Very happy, great 5er.) On the Heartland website specification page it clearly says that for the 3055 the length is 34'7". The 33'7" you mention is for the 3100 model!! In addition there is an asterisk that says "Extended hitch pin adds 9" to overall length", so that brings the length to 35'4". It's obvious it wouldn't fit into your 34'7" garage. Check your facts again. It's a pity it doesn't fit because it's a great trailer. |
| Heartland Bighorn / NuWa Hitchhiker Discover America | Ms Chloe | My husband and I have done extensive research into the Heartland Bighorn and Hitchhiker Discover America and we simply can't find that much difference. We are currently looking to upgrade to the Bighorn 3400RL. The only thing I didn't like was Heartland put all the electrical outlets under the cabinets and they really need to put atleast one on the wall in the kitchen.......(for coffee pot) Every owner we have talked with loves their Bighorns. |
| 2008 Heartland Sundance 2900RK 5th Wheel | Terry | We bought a 2008 Sundance 2900RK 5th wheel. and love it. Had a few issues that the dealer and company resolved. Was prompt on communication from their customer service rep. We love the lay out and room. Our last 2 trailers have been Jayco. The Sundance is very well thought out design! The teardrop design in front gives me 3 more miles per gallon. Was told that, but didn't really think it would, but it does! |
| Heartland Trail Runner | Connie G | I bought the Heartland Trail Runner after reading the article about Heartland and how they offered the best value for money and it was loaded with great features. The layout is great and the price was right and we bought it. A great decision. We've used it many times and it's never given one moment of problem. |
| Re: Heartland Sundance | kptb | Our 2006 sundance is good, everyone who looks at it admires it and we really like living in it. No real problems we had a slide problem that the dealer solved and a water leak that made a mess but was fixed by Kents. Would I buy this manufacturer again? yes. Rating 5/5 |
| 2008 Heartland Bighorn 3670 | Dan M | I have a 2008 Bighorn 3670. The only problem was the satellite cable going to the entertainment slide. Could not get a signal thru. The dealer replaced coax and no problems. Really love this floorplan. |
| Re: Heartland Sundance | Paul P | This is a great product at a great price. I looked at a unit at a dealer in California and was very impressed. While I was there I spoke to an owner who only had good things to say about it. If I can get a reasonable price on my CrossRoads I think this will be my next buy. |
| Re: 2007 Heartland Bighorn | Jim Beletti | Pat,
Hoses come out the bottom of the UDC and the electrical receptacle is on the side of the coach. Near the rear on Bighorns.
Jim |
| Re: 2007 Heartland Bighorn | Ron Mann | Heartland give true value for money. I read the review and went and looked at Bighorns at Larry's in Jackson Michigan. I think the features like the real hardwood cabinets and the layout really set these 5th wheels apart. |
| Re: 2007 Heartland Bighorn | Oldman 1 | After reading the above article on the Heartland Bighorn I am curious as to how the shortest model (listed as 33'7", can be 5' 4' longer than the longest model, listed as 28' 3" ? Duuhh! |
| Re: 2007 Heartland Bighorn | Kasbo | Love the front cap design. |
| 2006 Heartland Bighorn | Jim | I am very happy and very pleased with Heartland. They are very aware and want to please the customer and they make sure that they stand behind their product and will go the extra mile to make their customers happy. |
| 2006 Heartland Bighorn 3055RL | Connie | We have a 2006 Bighorn 3055RL and have been very happy with it. We have 3 slides and even though this is the shortest model it feels very spacious. The decor is excellent and the cabinetry first class. We've had 4 RVs including 2 fifth wheels before this but this is by far the best quality and least problems. |
| Heartland RVs | Vicki (TravlynWomyn) | I had the pleasure of transporting Heartland fifth wheels when they first came out. They are a real pleasure and their self-leveling jacks are wonderful. Their staff is terrific and their product is top notch |
| Re: Heartland Bighorn | Mike Weidenfeld | I have a 2006 Bighorn but I can see they've improved the floorplans. They've put the sink between the shower and the bed now. Our Bighorn has been fine. One of the things about it when we bought it is that a lot of the things with other 5ers that are options are included with the Bighorn. It's not just a question of the cost when you buy it it's also about dry weight in the information about the 5er. Bighorn are a good deal. |
