    Max age or mileage for used tow vehicle

    Window shopping for our first RV. It will be a mid profile 5th wheel, likely a sundance rear kitchen model. As such, I'm also looking for a used tow vehicle, a 3/4 ton diesel. I'm wondering how old would be too old for such a vehicle, or how much mileage I should limit my search to. Since the...

    Hit the Reset button ...

    DW and I have been scoping out the Big Horn 3755FL, but I have struggled with spending that much coin and having it stored so much of the year as I don't retire for 10-12 years yet. So we decided to down-select, hit the reset button and began looking at TTs. However, they had a floor plan that...

    First 5th wheel decisions

    Okay. The DW and I have pretty much settled on Heartland. We were originally looking at bighorn or landmark, but are now wondering is that's too much RV for non full-time use. I won't be retiring for 10 years or so, and with us both working, we will get use sparingly, a few long week ends a year...

    Continued Errors by Heartland

    Hunter11: I'd be very interested to hear of your experience with Great Lakes RV when the day arrives. I have a Heartland factory tour on my pre-purchase bucket list, followed by a visit to Great Lakes RV who seem to stock a nice variety of Heartland units; they are on my "watch list" for dealer...

    Height restrictions with a full profile 5th wheel?

    Thanks for the responses. It's funny, I now find myself looking at the tree lined roads I travel daily, and think, "dang, that will probably scrape along the roof." I'm noticing old, concrete railroad overpasses for clearance issues and utility poles too close to the roadside, thinking I may...

    Height restrictions with a full profile 5th wheel?

    Hi there. I'm still researching my first RV purchase. I'm pretty dialed-in on a full-time Heartland, leaning heavily toward the BigHorn. But I have a question regarding a full-profile RV: are most parks, state and national, full-profile friendly? Or will I find the height to be a problem? And...
