WHAT ONE COSTS
—price not published

The maker never published an MSRP for this floorplan. Unknown is not cheap — treat any asking price against comparable models, not against zero.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~8,038 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 6,896 lb + fresh water (41 gal, full) 342 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

GVWR (the sticker maximum)9,000 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~939 lb (12%)
Cargo capacity2,072 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS — 43 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin — per model year, because the QB300's published weights held steady.

Heartland (Budget tier): Heartland's entry-level travel trailer - wood-framed walls under .024 in. aluminum siding, bought on price, and the line most likely to show seam and water issues as it ages.

YEAR BY YEAR — WHAT CHANGED

FINDING ONE

Common — usually several for sale within a day’s drive. Why: Heartland is a volume manufacturer; 8-year production run. Estimated from build volume and production span — not a count of live listings.
