UnderbellyEnclosed

Heartland (Mixed tier): Heartland's mid-tier ultra-lite: Azdel-laminated, aluminum-framed walls and a walkable vacuum-bonded roof put it above the stick-and-tin budget class, but Heartland's uneven QC and dealer service keep it out of the top tier.

FINDING ONE

Findable — a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: Heartland is a volume manufacturer; only one model year; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.
