Hello!
We had a 2011 3450TS (Gray). Overall I believe the Heartland product was a solid rig. Heartland Customer Service was excellent and their Owners Club awesome.
Our biggest issue with the rig was the gray gel coat. Within a year the gel-coat faded and turned a very dungy gray...the rig looked 10 years old. I believe that is no longer an issue with the newer colors. We had a leak in the overhang around the pinbox. Caused some minor cosmetic damage to the bulkhead area. We had one weld on the bulkhead break but it was an easy fix.
The interior was beautiful! Only complaint was our décor was dark! Lighting was an issue. No windows on the street side of the living area. Seemed like I could never get enough light to be comfortable.
Lots of storage and room with this floorplan. Wife liked the enclosed island kitchen as many prefer the open type. The vessel sink we also liked as there was no more banging your head on the cabinets when brushing your teeth etc. It also provided a bit more counter space.
I think you will be very happy with the Heartland! Best Wishes!
