    ATF: Prowler - Slide leaks while traveling in the rain

    My Prowler 27P RBS is an awesome trailer. I love it. There is one problem that I can't figure out. While traveling in the rain, water gets into the trailer. The rug in the slide and in the trailer gets wet. This does not happen while parked in the rain, slide in. Nor while camping in the...

    Sediment in Hot Water Heater

    I've just finished winterizing our Prowler and after removing the Anode rod I found the tank with about an inch of white sediment. I have pulled a hot water plug many times but this is a first. Often there is some sediment in the water, but not built up like this. Could this be because we...

    Brand New

    Welcome to the Heartland Family. We joined last November. We camp from January to May but wanted to test our new Prowler before we headed to Tucson. We found a year round campground. We emptied the antifreeze, filled the fresh water tank as their city water was off in Foxboro, MA. We camped...

    Shower leaking Water

    I did tighten the connections behind the access panel before a caulked it. Dave could be right. The water isn't always there. Maybe a spill rather than a leak. Thanks Ted

    Shower leaking Water

    We have water seeping from under the shower base. I've caulked the opening around the hot and cold water faucets. The connectors were tightened before caulking. Could it be something behind the shower wall?

    What is your experience with the 2012 Heartland Prowler?

    We purchased a Prowler last October. While it was a 2011 and not a 2012, we have really enjoyed it. This is our fourth TT and our most trouble free. The only problem to date is an electric lock that needed replacement. Our dealer took care of that promptly and then we put 9 thousand miles on...

    Air Mattress Sofa

    Well, my 12 yo niece figured it out. You pull the back over the front, then use the support. All went well.

    Air Mattress Sofa

    The air mattress is too big to fit on my sofa. The width is fine, the length no so good. Is there some bar that pulls out to make the sofa longer? The Heartland Handbook has a different sofa illustrated, I have 2011 Prowler Shadow 27 PBS. My nieces are planning to sleep on it tomorrow...

    Torque 261 - F150 Enough?

    I tow a Prowler S 27 RBS with an F 150 with 5.4 l / six speed transmission. The F 150 is rated for 11,300 lbs with the max tow package. The dry weight of the trailer is 6800 lbs and we pack for three months in the west. After 10000 miles and crossing the Rockies it has done quite well. Gets...

    Loose Kitchen Faucet

    We travel around 10 k each year and these nuts loosen from vibration. I keep them as tight as possible but figure it is a house rolling down the highway. Because space is limited under the sink, I use a pliers to get a good turn on the nut. I always use pliers in a kind and loving...

    cable connection in the back.

    Something to check. My 2011 Prowler has a SAT and a Cable circuit. Both must be connected to there respective port outside and inside.

    Looking at a new 2012 Prowler 316P RLS

    We just finished 8K miles in our Prowler TT. On the dealer's lot it appeared well made. This is our 4th TT. Through the winter this notion held up. We had a great time because of a well made trailer. No need to have warranty work done along the way as with our SOBs.
