Considering Heartland North Trail 24BHS

We are interested in the North Trail 24BHS. Ordered one without seeing it and the mattress space between mattress and entertainment center is really important. They called the rep and he called the product manager and they assured us there is space. They are starting production on it in a few days. I did a lot of research on build, quality and value. I looked at Kodiak 240, Sunset Trail ST240, Apex 259, Jayco White Hawk 25 and also the Creekside 23BHS from Outdoors RV. Loved the Sunset Trail long 60x80 bed and lots of storage, but was not convinced of how it was build. Love how the Creekside is build but small 36X74 bunks. My husband is 6ft4 so if there is no extra room for his feet then this is a no go. We requested they put into the purchase agreement, if that unit has not the foot room we are not obligated. I don`t know what to do now after reading this. What are your opinions on Crossroads Sunset Trail lite 240?
Maybe some advice? Thanks

Sorry to be bearer of bad news but....Below is a thread post(LINK to Heartland Forum Post) response from the Heartland North Trail Product Manager from the Heartland Forum. We drove a 4 hour round trip to look at it after we were informed by the product manager the 78" mattress fits. Guess what NOPE.. Heartland has really not been reliable with information so far in my experience. Seeing I did not fit in the bed and there is no storage in the bathroom other than the small med cabinet we are done looking at Heartland products. We are now looking at the Keystone Outback Terrain 250TRS. Looks like we may go with that. Has some outside storage issues but I think we may have figured that out. Getting prices from a few dealers now. Here is a linkto thread I having going on that unit

We looked at the Cross Roads Sunset Trail Super Light 2014 ST240BH at the RV show and liked it a lot. I don't have my notes with me but the off the top of my head the issues I have are the small gray and black tanks. No front window in the slide due to the cabinet. That may be our #2 choice right now.


You are correct on the mattress, the 78" pillow top will not fit in this 24BHS. I was just informed by my engineer after I questioned him about it. Sometimes information doesnt alway flow or we start to assume thing. I'm sorry about the confusion. Also, with this particular floorplan, we used every inch of this floorplan, to give you double bunk over bunk, outside kitchen, U-shape dinette and a 40" TV box all in a 24ft living space, that there isn't much room to put the mechanicals.

Please let me know if I can do anything for you.
