Ordering a T H

Been looking for a new rig for several months now, looks like the Cyclone 2812 or Road Warrior 281 ends up at the top of the list. The Attitude/Stellar 28*** ends up #2 on the list but with less than 12K GVWR I am concerned it will end up overweight.

The problem is no one in So Cal carries the smaller Heartland rigs, they all will order one for us but I am a little concerned about not being able to look at one before I buy it and then be stuck with something were not happy with. At Our age, the truck and T H will be what were stuck with until were not able to travel anymore. The budget won't allow anything else and still have $$ to travel. I have looked at all the pics and specs and the 30' model which have a garage and are no where near the 28' floor plan, but just to see the interior decor and workmanship etc. I like what I see, but nervous about ordering sight unseen.
The good thing, we can go down the list and order exactly what we want.

Has anyone done something like this and how did it turn out ??

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

  • I would up-grade wherever possible. Refrigerator, AC, Insulation, Etc. Look at Desert Fox. Good luck and have fun.
  • Call Heartland Customer Service and ask where the closest unsold unit is sitting for both lines. They should be able to do this very easily.

    You are right the Eclipse RV units lack payload if you want to haul full water and add batteries.

    Its a dilemma buying a pig in the poke. I know we looked and looked before we chose. Since your still in the air try looking at the Dutchmen Voltage. They are a great TH. Everyone I talk with loves theirs. The layout is superb. The quality is better than most or at least in my opinion. Give it a whirl...
