The brand

Why buyers love Heartland RV

Heartland Recreational Vehicles was founded in 2003 in Elkhart, Indiana by RV-industry veterans and acquired by Thor Industries in 2010, growing into one of the country's largest towable manufacturers. The lineup is entirely towable and broad: value travel trailers like the ultra-light Mallard, the family-focused Pioneer and Prowler, and the lightweight Trail Runner; a wall of fifth wheels topped by the painted, residential-grade Bighorn and the luxury full-timer Milestone, with Big Country, Landmark 365, and ElkRidge filling out the range; and the Cyclone, a serious fifth-wheel toy hauler with class-leading garage and freshwater capacities. The Bighorn and Milestone earn Heartland its credibility, with full-body paint, six-point auto-leveling, and full-time-ready build quality. The honest caveat is the one that comes with any high-volume Thor brand: Heartland builds a large number of units a year on shared Lippert, Dometic, and Furrion components, and owner reviews are heavy with the water-intrusion, slide, appliance, and quality-control complaints that come with that scale, plus frustrating warranty and dealer service. Across nearly 1,000 owner reviews the brand sits a touch below the industry-average mark. Below is a current towable range with real specs, real floor plans, and a candid read on what owners praise and what they warn about — so you can shop a Heartland for sale knowing exactly what you are getting.

Here's the part the lot won't tell you: the best Heartland deals are usually two to four years old. Let the first owner eat the steep early depreciation, then buy a rig that's already been shaken down, with the bugs sorted and the records to prove it. That's exactly the kind of unit our RV buyer's agents hunt for, and we run an independent inspection on every one before you wire a dollar. Already own one and ready to move on? We'll list and sell it through our RV broker service for the retail number it's worth — not the wholesale gutting a dealer offers on trade.

What owners love

  • Strong value and selection across price points. Heartland builds everything from sub-$20k ultra-light trailers to six-figure painted fifth wheels, so a patient buyer can find the layout, length, and tow rating they need on the used market.
  • The Bighorn and Milestone are genuine luxury fifth wheels. Full-body paint, six-point auto-leveling, residential appliances, and full-time-ready build quality are what owners single out at the top of the range.
  • Floor plans and towing rate well. Across owner reviews the floor-plan (4.1) and driving/towing (3.8) sub-scores are the brand's strongest traits, reflecting smart, livable layouts and trailers that tow as expected.

What to watch

  • Quality control is the soft spot. The overall-quality sub-score (2.7) sits well below the floor-plan score; owners report the water-intrusion, slide, seal, and appliance issues common to high-volume Thor-owned production.
  • Factory warranty is the weakest sub-score (2.3). A vocal share of owners describe frustrating warranty and dealer-service experiences, so budget time and patience if something goes wrong after the sale.
  • Volume cuts both ways. Heartland's scale means deep inventory but wide variation in build quality unit to unit, so a thorough pre-purchase inspection of the roof, seals, slides, and appliances is essential on any used Heartland.
From real owners

What Heartland RV owners are saying

Across roughly 963 owner reviews on RV Insider, Heartland averages about 3.2 out of 5 — a touch below the RV-industry norm. Owners rate floor plans highest (4.1) and driving/towing well (3.8), with livability at 3.4; the clear weak spots are overall quality (2.7) and factory warranty/support (2.3), which matches what we hear: buyers like the layouts, value, and towing, but a meaningful share report water intrusion, slide and seal problems, appliance failures, and frustrating warranty service. The flagship Bighorn fifth wheel rates higher than the brand at about 3.8 over roughly 96 reviews, with several long-term owners reporting years of solid full-time use, while value travel trailers and some other lines pull the average down. Heartland Recreational Vehicles holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, though it is not BBB accredited and the profile carries numerous quality and warranty complaints. As with any high-volume builder, condition and quality vary widely unit to unit, so a careful pre-purchase inspection is essential.

Questions

Heartland RV — buyer FAQs

How much does a Heartland Travel Trailers & Fifth Wheels cost?
It spans a wide range. Value travel trailers like the Mallard, Pioneer, and Trail Runner start in the low five figures on the used market, while a new luxury Bighorn or Milestone fifth wheel or a big Cyclone toy hauler can run well into six figures. Each model page below lists a typical resale range, and we'll get you an exact number on any specific rig for sale.
Is Heartland RV a good brand?
Strong value and selection across price points. Heartland builds everything from sub-$20k ultra-light trailers to six-figure painted fifth wheels, so a patient buyer can find the layout, length, and tow rating they need on the used market.
Where are Heartland RV RVs built?
In Elkhart, Indiana, where the company has been since 2003. That matters because the factory service center is a big part of why owners stay loyal.
Should I get a used Heartland inspected before buying?
Always. A used rig can hide deferred maintenance on the roof, slides, and levelers. Our independent RV inspectors check it before any money moves, and a buyer's agent turns what they find into leverage on price.
