Good morning everyone.
My wife and I are confused about how RV Guide does it's ratings. We are in the process of deciding on a new 5th wheel purchase. Currently we have narrowed it down to Heartland either an Elkridge ER34QSRL or Greystone 33QS. RV Guide has these coaches rated fairly poor for instance the Elkridge is rated #475 out of 604 and the Greystone is rated #282 out of 586. We find this very hard to believe that a Heartland product would be rated this poorly. For comparison purposes they rate a Forest River Sterling #116 out of 586. We are very curious as to how they come up with their ratings.
Any help in trying to figure this out would be appreciated. We know that it is like buying an auto. You can get the best vehicle you have ever owned or your worst nightmare. When you think you have done all the homework you can something like this pops up. The forums usually portray the good things that owners have to say about a particular unit. Going to the factory for a tour will only show you how they are made not necessarily your coach. We also have tried to locate dealers close enough to home to be able to personally have an up close look at the exact model we are interested in to no avail. We have located the Elkridge ER34QSRL within 3 hours of where we live so are making the trip this weekend. To this date we can not locate anyone near us with a 33QS Greystone.
We thank all of the help we get from Heartland Forums in general. What a great bunch of people and a wealth of knowledge. We hope everyone has a great summer season and look forward to any and all help in trying to become the next Heartland owner.
Thanks again, Navypoppop & Irish Eyes [and Shelby the Sheltie]
