We purchased our Luxury Surveyor straight from the factory. We used it for state park camping due to it size and configuration. Further, we snowbird in the unit from November through April. The unit travels well behind a Silverado 1500. The weight of the trailer makes it very towable. The unit quality is much like other units since most of the parts and assemblies is made by Lippert Inc. We upgraded the tires and air conditioner, but overall very satisfied with the unit. For a couple, I would highly recommend the unit based off quality and “best for the money.” Show less

The floor plan is absolutely amazing. It feels so open and easy to move around in. The counter space is unmatched that is for sure. Plus the bathroom is perfectly sized and has lots of storage. The ability to drive our truck and not have to get a fifth wheel hitch but have a fifth wheel feel is perfection. We use our truck bed for hauling other things so this is the best of both worlds. Best travel trailer design I have ever seen. Show less

This rv was a perfect floor plan for me living full time . The closet space was wall to wall with rod all the way across. The built in 4 drawer and 4 cabinet dresser along with the large king size under bed storage provided plenty of space! The bathroom had a comfortable size shower with built in seat, a high sitting toilet, a residential sink with high faucet, lots of counter space and again plenty of storage. The fridge was a good size two door freezer/refrigerator. The tv swung out so that I could tilt it towards any room in the camper. The L shaped kitchen provided lots of room so I didn't feel cramped. The sink was a large farmhouse style making dishes super easy to do. There is 2 outside storage spaces under the closet and the head of the king size bed that enabled me to store all of my outside equipment in. I did not have any problem with the quality of construction and material used. This rv was wasy to tow with double axels. I would recommend this camper to any single full timer, or to a couple who likes to travel a lot. Show less

I have lived full time in a 360KS Tracer for 2 years. The floor plan was perfect for me providing more than adequate storage including a wall to wall closet with rod all the way across to hang plenty of clothes, a built in dresser with four cabinets and four decent sized drawers. This dresser was big enough that I was able to set a 55 inch flat screen on top of it. The king size bed lifts up for even more storage. There are 2 large outdoor storage compartments that were big enough to hold all of my outside camping equipment and extra rv accessories. The kitchen had a large farmhouse type sink making it very simple to wash dishes, and a large two door fridge/freezer that worked extremely well. This until has a walk in pantry which I found super beneficial being a full timer. The bathroom was a very good size also providing ample storage space, more than big enough shower to be comfortable, and lots of counter space. The awning almost stretched the length of the trailer and I had no problem with the indoor/outdoor radio. Overall I found it comfortable and homey and I would recommend this camper to any single full timer or to a couple who just likes to travel. Show less

The standard model, with a dinette, is a typical attempt to compromise for families. But the substitution of theater seating for the dinette, turns this rig into a no compromise couples camper. I actually lived in mine for four months while home searching. The kitchen sports a small bar and two stools, so you won't miss the dinette. Clever storage solutions allow for more than enough space for weeks worth of camping and the small overall size of the trailer (24ft) makes it welcome everywhere - even National Parks! The bathroom is the size you would expect, but the shower is the same size as the one on my previous 37ft triple slide trailer. Large, 8 cubic ft refrigerator and ample counter space, make the kitchen very cook friendly. TV is perfectly placed for viewing from the recliners, or the bed. The trailer has a front window and no back window. I was surprised to find that I liked that arrangement, but it may not be for everyone. With a residential queen mattress on the frame (storage beneath) it has been the most comfortable berthing of any trailer I have owned. Good sized awning provides ample shade and its smaller profile and weight make it both easy to tow and easy to park. Seven interior windows and two skylights make for a light, breezy interior space. Trailer has a remote connection via smartphone app, which allows the operator to open the slideout while standing outside to see obstructions. The awning and RV lighting can be likewise controlled from the app. Standard sized Fresh, gray and blackwater tanks. Electric and propane water heater. I owned this model for three years and found it easy to service and maintain. Winterization is a snap. Show less

We purchased this RV in 2019 but the manufactured date is 2020. It was a good one till 3 weeks ago on a trip the frame broke on the passenger side and was cracked on the drivers side right above the axles. We were fortunate that we drove into an RV dealership where they discovered the issue. It has been totaled by the insurance company. We were very fortunate that the RV did not collapse while we were driving. Show less

We have had our Heartland Mallard M25 for 5 years now. I am going to try and recall the good and the bad of it. At first, the travel trailer had a manual front jack. Not being familiar with the techniques to hitch and unhitch from our tow vehicle, it was a challenge at first. Changing out the manual jack to an electric one pretty much solves the problem, likely along with the wearing in between the ball and cup of the stabilizer. In reading prior to our purchase, there were several articles that highly suggested to have two air conditioners, one for the main cabin, and the other for the bedroom. If that had been an option for this travel trailer, I would have purchased it at the time. However, thanks to You Tube folks, I implemented a pretty good solution to better force the cold air through the plenum to the rear bedroom as we travel to a lot of desert or hot areas out of Las Vegas. There was at least a 40% improvement and the operational noise of the air conditioner is significantly quieter. Initially, there were minor fixes needed like loose moldings and like. However, in speaking with other RV owners, most encounter these type of minor issues. Most owners know that these trailers are pretty quickly slapped together. This trailer is most comfortable for 2 people, though we traveled for the first 4 years with our son and some of his friends (one at a time). The fold out sofa worked well for two teens. Struts for storage under the Queen RV bed needed to installed to keep the storage lid up. We keep the bedroom TV, blankets , pillows and two foot rests for the sofa under there. Upkeep is keen with a travel trailer. Making sure the slide out seals are lubricated and replaced when necessary. The same applies for the outside trim rubber or vinyl pieces. They have a tendency to wear. However, they are easy to replace as well. We have had two tire blowouts while traveling. Being twin axels, the other wheel held up for us in both cases to pull off the road at convenient spots and call AAA to change to the spare. We pull the trailer with our 2017 Nissan Armada. This vehicle has a dynamic suspension (air shocks in the rear). There is a limitation on our towing speed as a result. We keep it around or no more than 60 MPH. There is tendency for the “tail to wag the dog”. A stiffer truck suspension I suspect would resolve the issue. The last trip, our heater control module failed. We had a mobile RV technician come to our park space and replace it. We keep all the outdoor gear in the outdoor storage compartment, fitted in such a way that we pull out everything we need for our outdoor seating area: The 10x12 carpet, 2 Coleman chairs, 2 rocker chairs, the aluminum folding table, Camp Chef two burner stove ( this is a great stove), fire pit. The stove and fire pit are all fitted to accept the trailers propane quick disconnect. We have a “Y” adapter so both can be fitted at the same time. I would say that all and all, our Mallard M25 has worked well as a travel trailer and with the last year of only my wife and I using it, better as a couple’s trailer. Show less

No warranty: bought it in 2022 30' from first owner that wanted to go with a motorhome, jacks were upgrade to the 5000LB which can almost lift the trailer off the ground. the ones it comes with just seem weak, but everything on this trailer works awesome, we take it out about 5 times a year, it has been an easy first trailer to have bought.

The 19 ERD Vintage Cruiser has been a super RV. We purchased it 5 years ago during Covid to visit family. Since that time, we have had no significant issues traveling up and down the east coast. Our Anti-sway hitch has been a boon making highway driving easy. All the appliances and appointments have worked as advertised without any issues. We purchased upgraded tires to ensure better road safety. We have had no significant issues. Towing has been easy with our Ford F150 XLT and the 19 ERD is small enough to fit in tighter spaces.

Like many others here, we did A LOT of research before purchasing a toy hauler. We understand that most RV's are poorly built (somehow this industry gets away with it year after year with little to no consequence) so we decided to spend the extra money and we purchased our Grand Design 21G in December 2020 based on many reviews which indicated Grand Design was better than most brands. Oooops. Nope. This is definitely NOT the case. Without listing the massive amount of problems and issues we've experienced with this overpriced piece of trash, and after over 9 trips to the dealership "service department" (LOLOL "service") and over 27 months of our trailer sitting in this "service department" while the so-called "technicians" just make things even worse, we've hired an attorney and we are pursuing a lemon law buyback. (why aren't more of you doing this???) This trailer is easily the biggest disappointment of a purchase we've ever made in our lives, and we aren't going to let them get away with it. We suggest more of you do the same. Grand Design is just as big, or in our case, an even bigger piece of junk than any of the others. Their customer service? Yeah, they put on a decent enough show at first, but when push comes to shove, they're the typical spineless dirty weasels who know they built and sold garbage. Show less
