Heartland will never get my business again. We bought our 2021 Big Country 3155RLK in March, 2021. It’s 24 months old, and it’s been in the repair shop for 13 months. We’ve experienced a problem (or 2, or 3) with nearly every system in the unit. Since it was built during the pandemic, perhaps the factory couldn’t get enough workers, and couldn’t train what they had. The demand for RV’s hit a peak about the time this one was built, and I am sure the factory simply decided to shove the crap out the door and let the dealers deal with the problems. Our dealership has over 200 units waiting to be repaired. The problems have included a severe hydraulic fluid leak, discovered on the way home when we first picked it up, a loose refrigerator that caused the trim above it to fracture, every interior wall has come apart (they are panels that are held together with staples but no glue), the television cabling has never worked correctly, all of the furniture has come unfastened from the floor (the couch moved around while traveling so much that the rear wall separated from the unit and the side walls came apart), and about 50 additional warranty issues. Our service advisor (no longer with the dealership) told us that these trailers are not really built to be hauled down the road. I asked her what part of “travel trailer” did she not understand? On a trip last summer, we stopped in Elkhart IN at the factory to talk about the quality issues, but the customer service people would not talk with us. Currently, it’s been at the dealer over six months waiting for parts and repairs. They’ve had it longer than we have.
