Used 2018 Heartland Pioneer RB180 — Poteau, OK

A used 2018 Pioneer RB180 from Heartland, this travel trailer on the Rear Bath floor plan is priced at $9,449. Dry weight is 3,132 lb, well under the 5,550 lb median for the category. At 22 ft 8 in it is noticeably shorter than the typical travel trailer (28 ft 11 in).

Loaded with water, propane and gear it will sit nearer 3,700 lb, which puts it within reach of a full-size SUV or mid-size pickup. Budget for 10–15% of that on the hitch, and a weight-distribution hitch is worth fitting at this weight.

Sleeping capacity is 3, which is on the compact side for the category. With no slide-outs there is less to maintain and one fewer thing to fail on the road.

It also sits well below the $24,250 median for travel trailers in our inventory.

Among its listed features are battery, front queen bed, 30 amp service and booth dinette. It ships from Poteau, OK door-to-door to any of the 50 states, inspected before it leaves, at one transparent price with no dealer fees.
