Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new LM. Great people and info here on this site. One of the best selling factors for Heartland rigs is you are now eligible to join the HOC and attend rallies. By doing so, you will begin to put faces to the names of people you meet on this site. The HOC is made up of a great group of people who share your passion for the RV lifestyle. So...............if you love great people, comradery, a little BS, great food and lots of it, Plenty of knowledge and willing people to solve any issue you might encounter with one of these rigs, along with an occasional cocktail (or 5), you should join now.
Again, congrats on your new rig and hope to meet you down the road.
BTW, I can vouch for the NM chapter leaders. Just attended their 1st rally in Ruidoso and it was a hoot. Howard and Shelly are great people and I guarantee you will be made to feel welcome at your 1st or last rally with them.
