RV Question: Weekend Warrior vs. Heartland RV

I'm currently in the process of deciding whether to get a new Lance camper or a 5th wheel toyhauler. The only TH's I've found that I like are the big ones, and the two that I've narrowed it down to are the Weekend Warrior Full Throttle and the Heartland RV Cyclone 4012 or 3912.

I've heard both good and bad about WW so I'm a little leary of 'em. I've heard nothing about the Heartland units, as they appear to be a fairly new company. Comparing them in person, the Heartland wins hands down for overall features and layout.

BUT, since Heartland is fairly new it may be difficult if not impossible to find one at a good price (25-30% off of MSRP). I've already got a written price quote from a dealer on the FTL at 25% off MSRP, and the dealer here in Reno won't even budge off of sticker.

My question is this... does anybody have any experience with Heartland? Do they have any good first-hand info as to the reliability of WW? I saw in another thread about frame cracking issues, but I'm hoping that's related to the Pull models.

Any input is appreciated!

Rob

Thanks!!! That was a very valuable forum. It told me that I do NOT want to own a Heartland RV no matter the price.

Now off to find a Weekend Warrior forum to see if they're any better. Thanks a bunch!!
