Kiawah, ALL RV's have their share of problems and NONE are trouble free, including HL products ! We have had many different brands and types. That being said, I'm almost 60 YO and I bought a Heartland Bighorn for close to $ 60,000.00, does that say anything ? In my opinion, you get the best value for your dollar in a HL product. Of course, if you spend 2 or 3 times more you'll get a little more. I emphasis, a little more.
