Ken,
I seriously looked at the HH but after the first time Mike quit making them he stopped making the floor plan we liked.
My good friend Bill Gehr who writes articles in Trailer Life and does the "Ask RV Bill" article in 1000 Trails Trailblazer magazine had a HH. His experience was that in cool weather (30 degrees) our 2011 kept much warmer then his HH.
He ended up trading in for a 2011 36FWS because of it.
BTW, it's 87 outside right now in SoCal and the bedroom air (13.5) only is on although it has been off for awhile. It just cycled back on. It is a cool 70 degrees in the living room of my rig.
You may have had an quality issue with your 2012 because they were getting ready to close down...
Either way I know NuWa made very high quality rigs as did Excel and Carriage. Lifestyle continues that tradition as does Mobile Suites but I am concerned with the Thor (Heartland) buyout.
Blessings,
Brian

Yep, I forgot the SeeLevel monitors and Big Foot Quadra leveling system.
The trailer is quiet and draft free. We seldom need to run the furnace and do well with one 1500 Watt heater and sometimes add a 900 Watt heater. This past summer were were in NE Louisiana...same place we were for the previous summer in our 2012 Cameo. The 40' HH was easier to keep cool in 99 degF weather than was the Cameo. The HH let the A/C unit cycle off and on during the afternoon while the Cameo A/C ran continuously.
The MSRP on the HH was $153,000.
