Maybe I shouldn't say this too loud as Heartland might raise their prices , but we didn't have anything to do last Saturday so we hit a couple of RV dealers in the local area for some "comparison" shopping.. We looked at some fairly "high-end" units that bring 20-40k more than the Heartland Landmark line (Augusta & Cape Cod with more to come) and found ourselves saying.."we can get all this and more..." in a Landmark... not that what we were looking at were shabby by any means.. but the features, options available, construction, etc, just didn't warrant (in our minds anyway) the vast difference in price. Some that we saw at the same price point, didn't have the features (or floorplans) available in those units..
So even though I am not (Yet) a Heartland owner, I think you should give them a look see. We are 99.99% sure that an Augusta is in our plans for a fulltime unit.
Carriage warrants their units for full time use with a 2 year / 5 year warranty.
