My wife and I both like the floorplan and features of the model 28RLS. The questions I will have shortly do not intend to reflect badly on this model - I want to make that clear. My wife likes this one above everyone else we've looked at so far. We will be new to the RVing family and plan on purchasing a lightweight model this year. I have been researching the many TTs out there - reading books, joining the forums here and RV.net, attending RV shows, visiting dealer lots, and joined the RV Consumer Group organization....all this hopefully with the purpose of making an informed buying decision. The Consumer Group (are you familiar with them?) provides ratings reports, and this is where my question comes from re: the 28RLS. They rate on Reliability, Value, and Highway Control on the various models. I hope you are familiar with this Group and their ratings. The 28RLS had recommended ratings (3 Star) in both Reliability and Value, but a poor rating in Highway Control. This HC rating gives a representation of the ability of the TT to be controlled by the driver, and the ability to respond to the driver's commands and be safe. Payload, axle capacity, hitch weight %s, and size are the primary factors. Are you aware if Heartland provided specifications to this Group, or is this Group using the correct specifications, on this model to accurately reflect the Highway Control rating? Thank you and appreciate your feedback.
