The bottom line: The Mallard Pathfinder offers a robust, compact option for solo travelers or small groups who prioritize ease of towing and prefer a no-frills camping experience.
Try Before You Buy
Buying a new Mallard Pathfinder travel trailer is a significant investment, with the base model starting at $38,000. Renting one through RVshare first at around $150 per night allows you to fully experience the RV's features and livability before committing to a purchase. You'll be able to assess how the trailer's compact size and lightweight design handle on the road when towed by your specific vehicle.
Renting also provides the opportunity to test out the unique features Heartland has included for today's adventurous campers and determine if the layout works well for your camping style. For those who prefer not to tow an RV themselves, many rentals on RVshare offer convenient delivery options directly to your campsite.
