For those of you who are full-timers, what would you consider the idea Heartland rig? Yes, I know that the actual choice will be up to DW and me, but at this point we're looking for ideas to consider. We know that Heartland rates only the Landmark, Bighorn and Big Country as full time rigs, and that a Landmark is more expensive than a Big Country. We also know that a Landmark is heavier than a Big Country of similar floorplan.
We don't know for sure exactly what our travels will be like, but most likely we'll be doing some workamping and some general traveling. When we're traveling the plan is to park somewhere for a week or two and see everything that interests us within a couple of hours drive, then move on a couple of hundred miles down the road and repeat.
I do not like to travel near gross weight, although I understand that the trailer probably will be pretty close. We'll buy a truck that GCWR of several thousand pounds more than what we actually will travel at. (A 15,000 pound trailer and a 10,000 pound truck would mean that I'd want a truck with at least 30,000 pounds GCWR.)
