Founding Texas-West Chapter Leaders-Retired
When we got ours, we were looking for a new rig and wanted to go from TT to 5er. We went to the Tulsa OK spring RV show. We looked at an ocean of RVs; so many that we could not remember which one had what anymore, except the Heartland. It was the only one that stuck in both mine and DWs mind. She loved the layout as did I and the build quality stuck with me. I knew nothing about the owners club at the time so I had no influence from this site. We left and went to eat dinner and discuss it and went back and bought the Sundance.
If you have the opportunity to go to a RV show, I suggest that you do so or even a dealer with multiple brands and compare.
Welcome to the forum and I don't think you'll be disappointed.
We fell in love with our first ever TT the first time we stepped into it. Bought it two weeks later. Then, went to the RV show 4 months later and looked at every competitor. Could not find a better rig! When we were ready to upgrade, I was again comparing everything to HL, and could not find anything better. We would like to go to a Landmark down the road... And yes, again, we've looked at the competitors, but nothing compares.
We've also been very happy with HL customer service. (Now Dealers, we've had issues... but HL has been great!)
Good luck in your search!
