Heartland Pioneer

Hi! I'm new to the forums and am getting used to the layout and the way it works! My family and I are looking to upgrade our 2002 Dutchman TT and I've zoned in on the Heartland Pioneer RG28, which it a travel trailer toy hauler. I can't find much information or comments about them in blogs or reviews. Other than the usual advice about buying new campers, I'm looking to talk to people that can share their experiences with Heartland or the Pioneer specifically.

Thanks,
Patty

Have a Big Horn 5th wheel by Heartland. Their customer service and warranty support is outstanding:)

What tow vehicle are you going to use?

We have a F150 with a 9,000 lb towing capacity, but we have every intention of upgrading to a 250 within the next month.

You should be fine then.

Heartland is a part of Thor Industries and has access to quality parts suppliers. We love our Heartland North Trail and have only found 2 items that we wish were designed differently - neither should affect your potential choice.

I love the U-dinettes as they convert into a larger bed than standard ones. But speaking of beds, that "climb-over" queen in the front will get old in a hurry when the one closest to the wall needs to get up and visit the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Also that model has very little in the way of cabinets and storage. Finally, the 35 gallon gray tank is very limiting. For 2 people we can get away with 2 (military) showers each for a weekend, but we have to be very careful with hand and dish washing and we even work to put as much gray water into the black tank as possible to make it work (via tubs in the sinks and shower.

Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm also not sure about that sideways bed design.
