First, let me say that Heartland is working with us to correct the problems that are listed below, but in my opinion they should not have existed if there was a better QA program. We purchased a new 2012 Heartland 400RW Toy Hauler Fifth-wheel at the Hershey RV show this year. It arrived in...

I have a NEW Road Warrior 400. I would like to replace the digital thermostat with a programable one. Something that we can lower the temp at night and during the day and have it raise in the morning and evening before we get home (like the homes do). Is there a model thermostat that anyone...

Thanks for the PDI. Used them and only had one issue so far. Seems there is a switch for the Cable/Ant connection. TV was working when we did the inspection, but when we got home and connected cable it didnt work. Call Heartland today and they said the switch is in the bedroom. Red light...

Well, we have our new Heartland Road Warrior 400!!!! Got it on Friday. Spent the weekend moving in. Only two issues so far. Cable TV connection is not working. Called Heartland today and they said there is a switch in the bedroom, little red light needs to be off. Other issue is a minor...

Just got word from Keystone that our new RW400 will be out of production on the 19th. Waiting to find out when Keystone will pick it up from the factory and have it ready for inspection. (Good thing the wife doesn't read this forum, she doesn't know the production date yet). If anyone has a...

Yepuhuh, My wife and I 7 years ago sold our house and the $1900 mortgage, purchased a fifth wheel and truck and started full-timing. The money we saved living full time has allowed us to pay off all debts, put money in the bank, do more things and still put money away for retirement. We have...

Yes we ordered it from the Hershey show from Keystone RV. We hope to have it delivered the first weekend in November. When it comes in we will go down and do the inspections and paperwork. Going to have Keystone deliver the RV to Hatfield PA and pick up our trade in. In the mean time we are...

My wife and I recently purchased a new RW400. During the process of reviewing 40 or so toy haulers, we found an area that needed some improvement in the Heartland RVs, the placement of the central vac unit. It is currently (2012 units) being place so that you have to climb into the basement to...

My wife and I have been thinking about a new rig for a while now. We recently started an embroidery and printing business and our old fifth wheel was taken over by the equipment and supplies. So, with the Hershey show last week we took the time to research all the toy haulers and came down to...

Has anyone converted their water heater to a tankless system? We are full timers and I want to upgrade/replace the current water tank system to a tankless one. Saves a lot of propane as it only comes on when it is needed and doesn't limit the amount of hot water. We had one of these in our...

Jason, My wife and I have lived full time in a fifth wheel for seven years now. We are currently upgrading from a Jayco Legacy Designer to a Road Warrior. As some have stated they all have minor problems when new. In our seven years, we have had a few small problems. A good RV repairman will...

My wife and I are full-timers. We are staying in the Philadelphia area and have been looking at a new rig. Specifically we are interested in a toy hauler, not for toys but to make into a family room and for our hobbies (Lapidary and computers). My question is about the insulation in the toy...
