Trail Runner TR SLE 29 by Heartland

Well I finally took the plunge today and baught a new 2014 TR SLE29. I was at the Toronto RV show and could not pass up this stellar price. I got it for $19 995 everything in on the road and will be ready for pick up in May 2014. I did not have time to research this product line but from what I say it looks like a well built rig. Anyone have a heartland travel trailer product and could maybe share some past experience .

Thanks in advance
Angelo
  • We have a Wilderness by Heartland. Have had two minor issues that I dealt directly with Heartland on. They took care of them without any issue at all. I would have no problem recommending them or purchasing from them again
  • Our North Trail is a Heartland aluminum framed TT vs wood in the Trail Runner. You can join the Heartland forum here.
    I haven't found any major issues yet. Our worst problem was a water leak caused by a loose external shower hose that I fixed myself.
    I'd rather have Dexter axles than the Lipperts that came with it but we'll see how they hold up.
    Heartland seems to be good about sending owners parts for their own repairs if a dealer is too far away. I've also heard they'll authorize repairs at another dealership other than the selling one.

    Um, my guess is you'll be grossing out at 8,000#. Hope you have the right TV.
  • I was looking at tthe Trail Runner 26sle and 29dbg. Saw at a local show and they were on sale at very tempting prices $15998 and $17998 but still had our old trailer the time so were not seriously in the market. Now our old is gone and I have been shopping around and if I see that price again I may not pass it up next time. Let us know what you think after a few shake down runs. I'm interested and there isn't a whole lot of reviews I could find online.
  • Thanks for the replies iam only going to gross out about 7200lbs. The trailer was achieved weighed at just over 6500 lbs. Iam towing with a 2011 f150 xtr 4x4 super cab with 5.0l the manual says max trailer weight for my truck is 9600lbs the dealer said I would have no trouble towing it.
