Hi there! I’m brand new to this forum and soon to be travel trailer lifestyle. I am looking for recommendations on two separate topics:
1. What brand of travel trailer to purchase?
- We are currently considering the Heartland Mallard M26 double axel (32 ft). We need to stay within 6500 lbs.
is this a reputable brand? Seems like from what I’m reading, every manufacturer is suspect and they all fail at some point. From what I understand, we need to be looking at axel weight maximums, add a generator, replace tires shortly out of the gate, and likely add another AC unit. Just looking for advice from those who have real experience with the campers.
2. Planning a trip out West from TN to Grand Tetons National Park, Yellowstone, etc. What app should I look to use to help me plan a trip for travel itinerary, camp ground reservations and safe roads for travel trailers? I’ve been looking at LOTS and not sure which one is the best. Any other recommendations would be helpful. I realize I might be late in the game for a trip this summer…need to start planning now though for whenever we do go. We’d love to go this year if all the starts align - late June/early July.
I appreciate in advance any commentary/advice.
