01 What makes it unique
Heartland lists the 2023 Pioneer QB300 at 6,896 lb dry, a GVWR of 9,000 lb and a tongue weight of 806 lb. Heartland prints no cargo carrying capacity for it, so none is given here; the federal label inside the trailer carries one.
It is 35' 0" long and 11' 2" high. Heartland prints no tank capacity for it.
Among the 19 Pioneer floorplans Heartland’s 2023 Pioneer brochure lists with a published dry weight, it is number 14 from the lightest, in a range from 3,860 lb (Pioneer Trailblazer BH170) to 8,926 lb (Pioneer BH330). Every figure in that comparison is Heartland’s, for the same model year.
Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from Heartland’s 2023 Pioneer brochure, the maker’s own dated document for model year 2023.
How the QB300 differs from the other eighteen Pioneer floorplans. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 6,896 lb: sixth-heaviest of nineteen, between the RG28 (6,558 lb) and the RK300 (6,912 lb).
- Length, 35 ft: sixth-longest of eighteen, between the RG28 (33 ft 8 in) and the RK300 (35 ft 5 in).
- Tongue weight, 806 lb: seventh-heaviest of nineteen, between the BH330 (794 lb) and the RG26 (859 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.7%: tenth-smallest of nineteen, between the DS320 (11.3%) and the BH335 (12%).
- GVWR, 9,000 lb: shared with the BH322, DS320 and three others; of nineteen, eleven lower and two higher, nearest the BH281 (7,864 lb) and the BH330 (10,400 lb).
- Exterior height, 11 ft 2 in: shared with the BH220, BH270 and five others; of nineteen, six lower and five taller, nearest the BH250, RB215 and RD210 (11 ft) and the BH322, BH330 and three others (11 ft 4 in).
Next to the RG28, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the QB300 is 338 lb heavier by dry weight, has a tongue weight 336 lb lighter, is 1 ft 4 in longer and stands 2 in lower; the two publish the same GVWR.
Next to the RK300, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the QB300 is 16 lb lighter by dry weight, has a tongue weight 78 lb heavier and is 5 in shorter; the two publish the same GVWR and exterior height.

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (9,000 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,350 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Heartland does not publish for the Pioneer QB300
Heartland prints no cargo carrying capacity, tire size, interior height, grey-tank, black-tank for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.
05 How it compares
6,558 lb dry and 9,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 6,896 lb and 9,000 lb.
6,912 lb dry and 9,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 6,896 lb and 9,000 lb.
07 Where this floorplan sits

10 Manuals & documents
Sources: heartlandrvs.com, library.rvusa.com (linked below); the full source note is at the foot of the page.
11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 14 recall campaigns and 8 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the Pioneer line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
Too few reports to show a pattern. 8 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover electrical system, structure, suspension, tires and wheels.
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Pioneer line page.
Owner’s manuals
The maker’s own owner’s manual for each model year on this page, linked where the maker publishes it. Each link goes to the maker’s file, labelled as the maker labels it; a year with no manual of its own is not filled from another year.
| Model year | Manual |
