So far, Heartland Torque is my favorite brand...and only brand.
It's a basically new 4 year old unit that to date, I've towed once cross state and driveway camped in the heat wave and some friends stayed in it.
Impressions so far.
Towed high n tight like it was on rails, even 80 mph and into typical eastern WA headwind/crosswind with zero issues or bad behavior. No wdh or sway control. (not a 5ver, but speaks to the quality from a component standpoint) Axles are overbuilt and sturdy, greaseable shackles, and shocks and some fancy bump stop things on the wishbones between the axles and all the lights and brakes work as they should.
Couple minor issues that were more like a new "warranty" type thing or in-attentive previous owner thing.
Converter is a WFCO all in one unit. Not impressed by that cheap component, but it works I suppose.
Everything else works as designed except the awning motor is a weak pos.
They cheaped out on the stove, it has no ignitor....Not sure I even understand that... but it came with a new bbq lighter so bonus I suppose!
My only real quality complaint is the wallpaper backed stuff on the ceiling is stretching or pulling away at several of the joints. Typical of other campers but looks like ____.
Right now I have no reason to believe that it's not a good quality camper.
