2026 Travel Trailer comparison · side-by-side specs, verdict, and who each is best for.
Quick verdict
These two 2026 Travel Trailer plans serve completely different tow vehicles. The Heartland North Trail 210MB is 25.42 ft long with a 5,100 lb dry weight, 6,500 lb GVWR, and a 620 lb hitch weight. It needs a true half-ton to pull but gives you 4-person sleeping and an ultra-lite Heartland frame.
The Winnebago Hike 100 H170S is built around mid-size SUV towing: 20.63 ft long, 3,260 lb dry, 4,000 lb GVWR. It documents a queen Murphy-style bed, wet bath, 31 gal fresh, 25 gal grey, 25 gal black, 9.5 gal LP, and solar prep on 30-amp service. Sleeps 3. At $40,952 MSRP, it's $1,209 more than the North Trail's $39,743 but opens it up to Tacoma, Bronco, Wrangler, and Grand Cherokee tow ratings.
The Travel Trailer call here is tow vehicle first. If you have a half-ton truck, the North Trail 210MB delivers more interior space at lower price. If you have a mid-size SUV, the Hike 100 H170S is the only one of the two you can actually pull.

Pick the Heartland North Trail 210MB if…
Pick the Heartland North Trail 210MB if you own a half-ton pickup and want the bigger floorplan for the lower sticker. The 25.4 ft length and 6,500 lb GVWR put it firmly in half-ton territory but give you 4-person sleeping capacity, which the Hike 100 can't match. Best fit: a family of three or four with an existing F-150-class truck who wants the most affordable ultra-lite from Heartland and doesn't need to limit the tow rating to mid-size SUV territory.
Pick the Winnebago Hike 100 H170S if…
Pick the Winnebago Hike 100 H170S if your tow vehicle is a Tacoma, Bronco, Grand Cherokee, or similar mid-size SUV. The 3,260 lb dry weight and 4,000 lb GVWR are the only path here, and you still get a queen Murphy bed, wet bath, and solar-prepped Travel Trailer. Best fit: a couple or solo traveler with a mid-size SUV who values the broad tow compatibility above interior square footage, and who would rather not buy a heavier truck just to camp.
