Actually I would like to go to the on demand style. Lots of my boating buds use them and love them.

Yeah on price. I might be going for a road trip.

Double check your payload sticker. The V-Lites tend to be very tongue heavy.

Well that was a short trip to the dealer. Started at $52k !! Unbelievable. I called up RV Trader on my phone and showed him the same rig for $32k.
Anyway, I'm kinda on the fence between the Heritage 272 and the VLite, but no matter we need to list and sell ours then off to Iowa !

What Washington dealer was this?
I got a great deal at Open Roads RV in Arlington.
Got my TT cheaper than Midwest prices.

We have a 2015. Really like the floor plan enough storage if move fishing gear and some things inside. Pull with a 3/4 ton duramax with Equalizer hitch. Makes the drive Easy.
Came with C rated tires which concerned me as they seemed a bit light. Pulled them and installed E rated for piece of mind.
Use the infrared fire place most often to take the chill off in the mornings. It’s been a fun camper.

My update is we have eliminated the V-Lite due to the extra 1,000 plus pounds, we can live without the extra closet.
I am focused on 272's.
