Heartland 5th Wheels

I can only comment that this weekend while camping at a local race I noticed quite a few Heartland fivers that were 2-5 years old that had severe delamination issue, so much that while walking around with my father we took stock of how many we could see with such issues and our end count was 15 out of probably 800 there in total ands about 30 or so Heartland units.

not to say that they aren't good units but it seems like maybe the factory caulking job or something is questionable.

Just bought a 2018 Big Country 3560 SS and love it. Like other RV's it has the usual bugs, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Lots of room and plenty of BR storage. Not light units tho. Ours weighs 14K dry/empty and max of 16k so that leaves us w/ just 2,000 lbs of "stuff". Tows great.

PS: Tried sending OP a PM and in order to receive it, OP needs to change your settings.

I've been full timing for 4 years in a 2013 Bighorn. Pulled it cross country, no problems whatsoever. I have had one slight issue, a piece of water line that stung a leak underneath. The dealer got me in right away, replaced the line and pressure tested the entire system, and had me on my way in about two hours. Other than that, no issues. Holding up well to two big dogs and the occasional isit from teenagers.

Great trailer, I would buy another BH. Suggestions before you buy and leave the dealership.
1. Throw away the tires and make it part of the deal to replace with Good Year "G" rated tires.
2. Spend overnight at your Heartland Dealer shop and test every system over and over.
3. buy a general box of fuses and extra light bulbs the interior of the RV that your RV may need.
4. buy a can of spray to lubricate the slide poles.
5. Sewer, have the dealer install a devise on your sewer that allows you to use close the sewer in addition to the the regular sewer close handles.
6. Buy a new collapsible sewer hoses. 1- 15', 1- 10'. they save a lot of space in your basement.
7 Buy a double water filter.
8. I would not recommend the "Extended warranty" from Good Sam. Too many exceptions for what they will pay for or not.
9. Install a Air Hitch for smoother rides, less chucking.

Depends on the year you are looking at. We purchased our 2010 model in 2011 and have had great success, in fact I would say that the quality is unbeatable. We love it. When we went back to our dealer in 2014 for some repair to a fender after a tire separated, I noticed that they weren't selling Bighorn's anymore. They said because the quality changed. You'll have to get feedback from those that own newer models.
