My new Heritage Glen 22RBHL

TravelingDixie · 01-19-2021, 11:49 AM

After months of waiting my new 22RBHL finally arrived this past weekend! It was delayed several weeks while waiting on furniture from a vendor which is no surprise given the climate in the industry. A few observations from my PDI for anyone picking up a new unit from Wildwood soon.

- Overall the workmanship was better then expected. All systems functioned but will need Spring to get here for a real shakedown.

- The unit had all the new features made for the mid-year model change including the updated paint scheme, black stainless appliances, roof-mounted solar panel and console plus the new tufted chaise couch.

- Found several loose screws on the roof stuck in the lap sealant, on loose screw was completly incased in lap sealant

- The factory installed the incorrect A/C unit ( 13.5K vs. 15K )

Besides these few issues everything seems in-order but time will tell. More to come....

Looks really nice!! I really like the lighter color decor manufacturers are using now. It makes the inside of the RV look more open. That floor is really nice too.

Enjoy and make many good memories!

We have a 2018 35KB Coachmen motorhome and am looking to simplify my RV life. I like this unit and I still get to be part of forest river to boot! Thanks and safe travels...

Looks nice. Congratulations
Best of Luck on your travel adventures.

Not only is the lighter color an improvement, they removed the border rug too.

We have the same TT. Question: in the fourth picture, is that a table? If yes, where did you get it? I don't like our table.

ENJOY!!!

I got it at Walmart...we have two of them and store each under the chaise. They come in handy since there are no cup holders

Love it! We bought the 2021 HG 24RLHL only because our dealer didn't have your model in stock. I have a 2018 Chevy Silverado with V8 and the 3.42 Gear Ratio and your model has a much more preferable tongue weight than mine, so that has me slightly concerned. It handled fine on the two lane roads but have not towed it a great distance yet.
Only real difference between the two is our bath is in the middle and yours is in the end and we have a u-shaped dinette, which we are still trying to figure out who they intend to sit in the middle because there is only about 12 inches of width between the pillow and table.
Just curious, did you receive any details on the solar panel? Our dealer wasn't even aware it had it installed until I showed him that it had it. Never had a solar panel before so I am unfamiliar with the operation. For example, does it continue to charge the battery with the disconnect key out? There is still power to the awning, jack, and slideout when the key is in the disconnected/off position and was wondering if this power is being supplied by the battery or the panel.

Update - found out yesterday from Wildwood that yes, the panel charges the battery while in the off position.

Kids.

A U-dinette is a compromise design to get a larger bed when converted for that purpose. Only little kids can sleep on the standard 2 x 2 dinette bed. I'm 6' tall and can sleep on the u-dinette bed.

Slide the table out a little. It can work. You can also add a chair on the opposite side for an additional seat. The table will be crowded but you can seat more people at the same time. (Typically, small people, as in kids.)

Congrats on the new trailer and thanks for the additional information on charging. I didn't receive any info on the solar charging system in my documentation either. However I did find it on the FR website and included the link below.
