Our new Gateway bunkhouse is on order and should be here by the end of April. We are very excited to have it for this season!
I am slightly annoyed/disappointed that Heartland flat out refuses to upgrade the tires on this model with our order. With the Landmark it comes with Gs and you can upgrade to Hs, but on this model (which is only 750 pounds lighter than the Landmark) they are insisting that the only tires they will sell are the TowMax Es. According to my math the Es will be completely maxed out with this trailer, so it looks like the first thing we will do is drive over to Discount Tire and put on some Goodyear G614s. Has anyone else done this or had problems with the E Towmax tires that come on this fifth wheel? For the life of me I don't understand why those tires come with this fifth wheel. Someone enlighten me, please? Or tell me that I am nuts or something!
Other than that detail, I am very excited with the layout of the fifth wheel and especially the bunk room. We are upgrading from a Heartland bumper pull that we loved and never had any issues with, so I am hoping this model is just as nice.
