Re: New Road Warrior
Heartland offers a G rated tire upgrade from the factory, I would strongly suggest getting it. Also, like Firehawg mentioned a good hitch. I see he uses the Airsafe 20k, I use the Trailersaver TS3, either one is a very good hitch to help reduce the transfer of motion from the truck to the trailer and vise versa. Since you are in Canada and may travel when it is cooler out, dual pane windows will help somewhat with the temps, and also helps with outside noise. The 6 point leveling is IMHO a must. It creates a much more stable trailer when parked, as well as saves time when setting up/leaving camp. If full timing then a large fridge, unless you like going to the store on frequent trips.
Make sure everything will fit in the garage that you are wanting to put in there since the 1/2 bath is taking up a good chunk of the garage space. We put some cabinets by the washer dryer in our RW390 (12' garage ) and the golf cart barely fit to one side of the cabinets, the cart was longer than the couches that come down.
Heartland's web site does not list the GVWR or cargo capacity, but list (2) 7k axles. Leads me to believe that it will be a 16k GVWR +/- so make sure you will not be over weight with the 2 bikes in back, all your other personal belongings, food, water, added options ( like generator, bigger fridge, more a/c's) etc.
We have 3 a/c's. Ours is wired to run either bedroom/main or bedroom/garage, we use the bedroom/ garage setting the most.
Well I hope this invokes some thoughts. Heartland makes some great products ( we are about to pick up our 3rd Heartland 5'er ). We bought our RW thinking the grandchildren would want to camp, thus the extra beds in the garage. We were wrong, so we are changing back to a regular style 5th wheel and reclaiming OUR space vs a toy hauler ( we don't have bikes, the golf cart wasn't a real necessity ).
