Hello Lindsays, I bought my Torque 261 Sept. 2012 also. After the initial "RV problems" new water pump, leaking sinks & plumbing (which I basically fixed after taking it to the dealer twice). I have had issues with my brakes not working (it seems to be the trailer cord, wire is to stiff &...

Cheska, Hello, I hope you have better luck with the TH in the future. I had a number of incidents & am still in the "working out the bugs" department. I'm glad I didn't take my 261 on the road for any distance, because I have had the new 2013 TQ 261 in & out (more in than out) of the shop...

Cruz ...hello I just bought a TQ261 & have had nothing but trouble with the water system. I have leaks in every room in the TT. The worst is in the bedroom, it flooded the entire floor in there. It really freaked me out when it flooded the electrical area under the bed. I also have a leak in the...

Thanks guys for the responses ... I would like to go to a 250/2500 but it isn't possible right now. So I am going to hang with the 1/2 ton & take it slow & easy with short pulls, being retired that isn't a problem. We usually don't have to rush or make a certain distance in any one day. I wish I...

Greg Hello ... been busy camping & just got back. I am a bit discouraged, as I said I contacted Heartland & was told that the 261 & 271 were designed so 1/2 tons could haul them. Well I have the 5.7L V-8 and it can tow it (plenty of power) but the gas mileage stinks. I was getting nearly 20...

Dan ...thanks for the Welcome & we have been talking over if we wanted to do the Dealer camp out thing. It makes sense to me to do it mainly to check for problems & to learn how to & how not to operate many of the different items of the TT. I think we will be doing the shake down camp, thanks...

Thanks AJ looking forward to the new TT and meeting & conversing with the many Heartland folks. DD

jimtoo, Thanks for the greeting & yes you are right about the sway control & hitch. ( I have an EZ-hitch) it is an equalizer hitch. My wife & I ride a 2008 Street glide which we will be hauling. Hopefully we will be hitting many of the big bike rallies next year. Thanks again for the...

Hello and greetings ...I just ordered a TQ 261 from the factory dealer which is about 50 mi. from my house, in Elkhart IN. It is about 3-4 weeks out. I wanted some options that the dealer didn't have on any of the units on his lot. This is a great TT toyhauler & it is engineered to be towed with...

Hello I'm new here and just bought a 2013 TQ 261. I called & talked to the factory today to double check that my 2008 Tundra 5.7L V8 could handle the towing. I talked to one of the engineers & he assured me that the Torque's were engineered to be towed by a 1/2 ton pick up. My curb weight of my...
