We ordered a Newport at the national rally this summer and picked it up last week in Elkhart from Tiara RV. There are a few changes from the show model at the rally, which is normal for the industry. As Heartland continues to grow they need to step up their PDI/inspects of coaches. I know this is an on going discussion by many Heartland owners. Our issues should have been detected prior to delivery. Our black tank flush system was connected wrong, we have 2 black tanks on the Newport, and the water pump switches were wired incorrectly. The other issues were minor. Tiara RV resolved the problems before we departed and installed an A/C vent in the front closet. We also had Jay at Twin Lakes RV Repair install a cheap heat system.
Some of the updates are a tilt bed (provides a lot more room in bedroom) the furniture is comfortable and there is no longer a sleeper in the sofa (some people may not like this). The Morryde zero G steps are solid but we did park on an unlevel surface and discovered the entry door would not close. We are still getting use to the wind resistant hinged entry door.
Pictures below, if they loaded correctly. The front closet before and after the washer/dryer were installed. The fireplace no longer has the shelf/ledge below it and the TV is now pushed to the front of the slide.
