I have a Sundance XLT RK265. So far so good. Tows well and seems like pretty decent build. They are lighter and probably have less insulation in them compared to a "regular" trailer. I liked the feel of the Heartland better than the Cougar. Tried to buy a Cougar three times and ended up with the Sundance. We are at about 29' and a couple of inches for total length.
I do like the gear drive on the slide better also. No hidden cables to stretch out or try and find.
Good luck with your hunt for what fits you the best.

The specs on your RK 265 lists it at 28' 5" but you say it's 29-2 so this could be a problem if I cannot trust the specs from the factory in their sales brochures. I have a storage building for my current 5th wheel and it is 31'so I need
one at least two feet shorter so I can add doors. Currently our 5th wheel sticks out too far to add doors.
A lot of times mfrs will list a "length", which is the coach, then the OAL, which is the length from front of the pin box to the rear of the bumper. My Komfort is spec'd at 28'10", but is ~29'3" using a plumb string.
