Goldenwinger is your Patriot a Heartland product. I dont mean anything but I have not seen a Heartland Patriot did they make one. Thanks for the site.

 

[Goldenwingers]

No Cooper it is made by Play-Mor and is a Toy hauler with a 10' garage in the rear, we intend to sell it soon and had planed to buy a Landmark but as for now I have some reservations about the Landmark so may have to look closer at the Bighorn 3670.
It's a shame as I really do like the Mt Rushmore and the Grand Canyon.

Don, What are your reservations about the Mt Rushmore and the GC? We have a Mt Rushmore and really like it. Am I going to be an orphan and know nothing about it? Please tell.

Thanks Tom

Don;
I'll tell you after living in my Grand Canyon for over a year now, I don't have any regrets about the coach or the company. It is a good full timer RV and I will swear by the company. Have we had problems? Yes and we had them with our previous fivers. Has the company stood behind us? You bet they have. That's my two cents worth.

Don, we have a 2005 Mt. Rushmore and we love it. Have had a few problems, but I have a friend who just bought a 2006 McKenzie and he has had problems also. I think the real test of being satisfied with any product is ,would you buy that brand of product again.And my answer is YES! No question.

 

[Goldenwingers]

Sorry, maybe reservations was the wrong word. Just thinking on the Bighorn instead. We have recently had a local dealer take on the Bighorn and with all it's upgrades and a lower price tag it may be the way to go for us.

I understand. A man has to do what is best for he and his family.

 

[Cooper]

Goldenwingers the only doubt I have on a Heartland product is the dealer service department. I have a Golden Gate and would buy another. Just pick your dealer carefully.

 

[Goldenwingers]

Thanks Cooper, Sheri and I took a trip to Knoxville Tn recently to meet Karen and Butch and to visit for a while in a Grand Canyon they had on their lot. They seem to have a good reputation on the forum and were both very pleasant to visit with. If we do this it will probably be with RV's For Less.

Thanks for the advice,
Don
