I'm a littel partial to Grand Design, not endorsing them, but my experience. We are on our second. have thought about upgrading again, buuuuutttttt, i am not a fan of the new steps or the on demand water heater. The floor plan we have, 337RLS, is great for us, yeah as in all units, there are things we wish were a littel different. But might I say, just keep using yours for a while, keep looking at units whereever yo may find yourself, keep talking to people, get there use types into conversaiton, compare it wiht your and your plans. Then find the floor plan you like or want, when the moment is right, it will happen.
Good Luck, Be Safe!!!

I'm with you on both counts, Jeff. I had the stuipd solid steps and, as boondockers, am not a fan of the tankless water heaters (though I've not had experience with them). I've read about too many people not having hot water when running on the pump =and= people using a =lot= more water.

We've just spent our first 5 nights in the new rig. We have the newer flip style steps that help knock the dirt off of them before you raise them into the doorway. Worse than dirt, if they're wet they bring that water in with them.

And so far, we are not a fan of the tankless water heater. It does seem to use a lot more water and we boondock a lot. I'm sure we'll figure out a solution.

We have a 2013 Heartland Sundance XLT which is light and gone up to the pacific nw with it and Colorado a few times. Worked out well for us. It is a rear kitchen with OA legnth of 29 feet. I think what was light back then could be "well built" compared to the later models especially the Covid specials. We were on the cusp of buying a new one but decided to keep old faithfull and run it. Even if we need to put a roof on it we would still be dollars ahead.
Just my two cents.....Curly
