2023 Q1 Heartland Newsletter

Whether you travel full-time in your RV, or are patiently waiting for the upcoming camping season, the winter months are a great time to research and shop for your next Heartland RV. We introduced a variety of new floor plans this past fall, and if you haven’t seen them yet, you’ll want to connect with us on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok to see our latest walkthrough videos, floor plan images and new product innovations for 2023!

WORK NOW, PLAY LATER

Taking the time to research and conduct your own due diligence on a new RV will save you time, stress and maybe even financially down the road. These months when travel is slow is the perfect opportunity to research new models, floor plans, and features. Create your checklist of must-haves and write down any questions you have and take these with you when you go RV shopping! Not sure which questions to ask? We’ve put together a list to help get you started.

Being as informed about your current or next RV will ensure that you spend more time having fun and making memories along your journeys!

RVLOCK

Imagine never having to fumble or keep track of your RV keys again. Well, RVLock can make that happen! Upgrading your standard lock to a RVLock Keyless Entry System allows you to lock and unlock your rig with a push of a button and provides an added security measure.

Most RVers do not realize that only a handful of keycodes exist in the RV market. This means your camping neighbor or someone at the campsite may be able to open your rig with their own keys. RVLock has solved that security flaw by developing thousands of unique key codes, greatly decreasing the odds of neighboring campers having the same key codes.

RVLock products are the highest quality and the latest technology in trailer security products on the market. As a family-owned and operated small business, RVLock has been the #1 best-selling premium handle upgrade for RVers for over 10 years. This is an essential upgrade for all RVers.

RV DIAGNOSTICS

On an episode of our Launching Life’s Journeys podcast, we introduce someone who can save you money and help you learn how to take care of your rig. Jeff Malatesta, the Founder, and a technician at RV Diagnostics has held a multitude of mechanic positions over the past 40 years. The most memorable being his service in the United States Army where he worked on all types of vehicles including M1 tanks. He served in both Germany and Iraq.

Over the past 25 years, Jeff has worked with a steady increase of electronics and electrical systems, giving him an edge over the competition. He was also an instructor for both advanced electronics and engine drive-ability classes. Jeff is ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) master certified in automobile, medium and heavy trucks, gas and diesel, and advanced gas and diesel.

Today we just simply dive into how to save money, how to learn more about your own RV, why going to RV Diagnostics is the way to go, how to take care of your RV, and more!

Each partnership is unique and is designed to fit the niche of each ambassador. Are you a writer who enjoys crafting articles about recent travels or how you keep your RV organized? Maybe you enjoy telling your life’s journeys in the form of video content. We’re always looking for those hidden gems that capture what it means to be a Heartland owner.
