Tight Turn Technology
The invention of our improved tight turning radius design was a game changer for RVers pulling fifth wheels with short-bed extended cab trucks.
Tight Turn Technology
Short-bed extended cab trucks are a popular choice because owners can park in their own garage or at a restaurant. But cornering with a fifth wheel attached has always been a challenge due to the truck’s design. Thanks to our patented improved tight turning radius design, owners can confidently and conveniently complete a tight turn when towing a 5th wheel—instead of hitting the cab.
Universal Docking Center
The invention of our Universal Docking Center has made locating major 5th Wheel hookups less of an adventure.
Universal Docking Center
Formerly found only on expensive motorhomes, Heartland re-engineered the docking design so that owners at all price points could enjoy the same convenience. This innovative compartment holds all of the major hook-ups for 5th wheel models in one place including: city water, tv, phone, satellite, pull handles for holding tanks, and tank flush hookups.
Industry Leading Storage
We’ve done it again. This time, we’re leading the industry with the largest storage area around. Featuring our patent pending Stor- Mor storage with 30% more capacity on our fifth wheels and up to 67.5 cubic ft. of front end storage on most of our travel trailers.
Industry Leading Storage
When it comes to RVing, storage is at a premium. We work hard to create unique storage opportunities by maximizing front end storage space and providing easy access, owners can enjoy more storage and better utilization of space. Coolers with food and beverages can now be separated from all the messy remnants of another great day outdoors, be it wet gear or dirty laundry.
The Vault / The Vault XL
Exclusive to Heartland, The Vault provides central housing for 12V wiring connections. It allows owners to disconnect 12V power going from your battery to the RV, keeping your battery in the same charge state as when you cut power. To maintain safety, even when you’ve disconnected power, The Vault still powers the breakaway switch, and any installed solar packages will still be able to charge solar-connected batteries.

The Vault contains:

The advantages of The Vault include:

Inside The Vault, there’s an easy-to-understand diagram that identifies each item and circuit. All components listed above are easy to remove or replace. If you blow a fuse or trip a breaker, always identify the cause before you install new ones, and never use a higher-rated fuse or breaker than specified in your Owner’s Manual. When doing maintenance or repairs on your Heartland RV, please use caution. If you feel unsure of anything you’re doing, play it safe and call a professional service provider.
The Vault is standard on all Travel Trailers and The Vault XL is a larger version and standard on all Fifth Wheels.
