Heartland builds entry to mid level trailers. The difference between a Big Horn and Landmark is the Landmark is a loaded up Big Horn. In other words more standard options. That is what I found when I was looking. I bought a Redwood which is a notch above the Landmark. The Redwood construction is more solid because it used marine grade plywood rather than particle board and has 16 inch centers on the rafters rather than 24 inches and 3/8 ply on the roof rather than 1/8 lauan. The Redwood suspension is more robust than the Lippert. The Redwood costs slightly more than the Landmark, but the small price difference is worth it.
The Heartland forum is nice and the owners are nice, but the same can be said for all of the other owner groups. After all they all want to support their purchase decision and do everything they can to keep the resale price.

Both Redwood and Heartland are owned by Thor so there service and warranty will be very similar.

Be sure to get all your facts right...Heartland uses 3/8" plywood on the roof not 1/8" The Redwood suspension is Lippert but with a fancy name to make it sound better. Heartland quit using Lippert junk for their suspension a couple years ago and now use Dexter components. Nearly every component on the Redwood trailer is made by Lippert. The Redwood line is sold and built by the Crossroads brand...Take a look @ what's been going on lately with Crossroads and their dissatisfied owners group. Heartland has the best Factory Customer Service of any brand..Heartland offers a factory warranty that will cover it for full-time use. I've been to the factory, seen them built and have been a satisfied Heartland owner for 4 years. Heartland builds the Landmark, Big Horn and Big Country on the same assembly line using similar construction methods and components. All of them are rated for and warrantied for full-time use. Any one of them would be a great choice!

X 2 ...Thanks, Don, for saving me a bunch of typing...I use my 2009 Big Horn as a traveling work platform. Just recently returned from 5 consecutive months working around DC. After 4 complete seasons and 30,000 miles, no major difficulties or breakdowns...I will be heading to Iowa in March for a 10 month deployment. I look forward to hitting the road again in my very comfortable Big Horn...
