We spent quite a bit of time looking and trying several models including Rpods and MPGs. We liked the MPG182 best.
I have heard that heartland will discontinue them as well but not sure how that would play into my purchase. There are several out there at good prices and I assume they will honor the warranty in any case (I don't think heartland is going out of business).

I don't think I mentioned that this unit will primarily be used for our one long trip next year.  I don't think we will probably become hardcore RV'ers afterwords (I may be surprised though:)

I think I can get a brand new MPG 182 for around $10,500-$11,000.

If all you're using it for is one long trip, then I would suggest renting a bus or better yet, stay in an awesome resort where you get pampered to your heart's content.
 
That way, you wont have the hassle of the RV upkeep and not lose money when you sell your rig later on.

Thanks Kenn.

Your suggestions might be practical but would defeat the entire purpose of trip for our family.

Thanks!
Brad

I like the MPG also. Seems like they have a little better pricing. Everything else seems comparable though.
