Does HEARTLANDS trailers have a high quality build?
I've been told they build lots of high quality 5th wheels & used a lot of this quality of building in the Pioneer travel trailers & so the Pioneer RL 250 that I'm buying shares the build quality?

There's a reason Big Country, Landmark and Big Horn are warranted for full time use and the Pioneer isn't.
The Pioneer has a 3 year Warrenty.
Incomplete information, only the structure is warrantied for 3 years. I think bumper to bumper is 1 year and the roof is 10 years.

As you correctly point out, the mythical roof warranty nothing but a useless sales tool that is abused by sales lizards, to impress the clueless. The "warranty" involves giving you a pro-rated refund on a $400 sheet of rubber, so you can spend $4000 to have it replaced. Even if you thought you might be the lucky winner of a $40 pro-rated check, when your roof leaks in nine years. you're not there yet. You still need to get the rubber manufacturer to agree that their product is defective, and the reason your roof is leaking. Since there is a 99% chance that they can pin your roof issue on a lack of maintenance, you probably won't be seeing that check any time soon.
Bottom line? If you have a leak in the full warranty period provided by the RV manufacturer, and you have a decent dealer and manufacturer, you will probably have your issue covered at no charge. Beyond that, you're typically on your own. There is no Easter Bunny, and the ten or twelve year roof warranty doesn't exist either.
