gateway vs elkridge quality?

[batavia02]

Me and my wife were up at a nearby la mesa looking yesterday, partially because they have brands we have not seen. Elsewhere we narrowed it down to 2 heartlands.A gateway and a elkridge both 5 th wheel models. Althouth the elkridge we liked is a "lite" model. I was wondering is there any real difference between the 2. We also saw a super class c but that is for the class c board.thanks

Looks like dual pane windows aren't an option on the Gateway. IMO the Gateway is more for people that want to travel around a bit more than you would with the Elkridge lite. The Elkridge lite won't have the bling that the Gateway will have. None of the Elkridge lites have a bed slide, so less closet space.
They really aren't even in the same league so to say.

Aside from the obvious differences in the level of trim and amenities, Gateway has a way higher level of insulation.

I would inquire from owners at the Heartland Owners Forum Most are willing to share their experience regarding their personal rigs and any issues they have encountered.
