Purchased a new Heartland Wilderness 3250BS. We are planning on setting it at a lake so it will be our home away from home. Light weight series so half ton towable. 3 slides, bunk house for the kids and an outdoor kitchen.

Congratulations. I can see it now...F150 pulling a travel home, pulling a boat, pulling a PWC.

No way buck. That camper is in the limits of my truck but not anything else.

Wow @jcyamaharider , congrats man that looks too damn sweet!!
We like it Trace. Just need to find that perfect spot. We are leaning toward Shelbyville because my parents would be closer to visit and there is a ton to do in the town when it isn't boating weather.

It already has the wake wedge mounted, you just can't see it from that angle in the pic. Just saying. :D

No we decided that we would get more use out of this then a houseboat. Plus it is easier to move from lake to lake if we decide to do that.

It is WAY different. Power on demand with diesel and way more room on the interior. I love it!
