Quick verdict
These 2026 Travel Trailer plans split on tow class. The Heartland North Trail 210MB runs 25.42 ft and 5,100 lb dry on a 6,500 lb GVWR, while the Winnebago Hike 100 H171DB sits at 20.63 ft and 3,340 lb dry on a 4,000 lb GVWR. The dry-weight delta is 1,760 lb, big enough to flip what tow vehicle you need.
The North Trail 210MB takes a half-ton, sleeps 4, and lists 30-amp service from Heartland. The Hike 100 H171DB targets mid-size SUVs (Tacoma, Bronco, Grand Cherokee), sleeps 3, and adds a wet bath, queen bed, dual-purpose lounge with outdoor gear amenities, 31 gal fresh, 25 gal grey/black tanks, 9.5 gal LP, and solar prep. MSRP gap is $1,209 in favor of the North Trail at $39,743 vs $40,952.
For families with a 1/2-ton pickup who want the largest cabin per dollar, the North Trail 210MB wins. For overlander-style couples or anyone who refuses to buy a bigger tow vehicle, the Hike 100 H171DB unlocks an entire category the North Trail can't access.

Pick the Heartland North Trail 210MB if…
Pick the Heartland North Trail 210MB if you have a half-ton truck and want the largest floor for the lowest sticker. The 25.4 ft length, sleeps-4 layout, and 6,500 lb GVWR mean you're not stretching the tow rating and you get the extra interior. Best fit: a small family with an existing F-150 or Silverado 1500 doing weekend trips on hookups, where the 210MB's 5,100 lb dry weight is a non-issue and the extra cabin pays dividends.
Pick the Winnebago Hike 100 H171DB if…
Pick the Winnebago Hike 100 H171DB if your tow vehicle is a Tacoma, Bronco, Wrangler, or other mid-size SUV. The 3,340 lb dry weight and 4,000 lb GVWR are the deciding factors, and you still get a queen bed, wet bath, dual-purpose lounge for gear, and solar prep. Best fit: an active couple or solo adventurer who tows with a mid-size SUV, plans to throw kayaks or bikes in the convertible lounge, and accepts the smaller cabin to stay inside the SUV's tow rating.
