We did it. We went down to the dealer today and ordered our new San Antonio. It's supposed to be 45 to 60 days before we get it, but it's coming!
Congrats ed47 and Trish & Raquel. The San Antonio is an awesome coach. And it's LONG! I used one as a demo coach for an entire season. Love that entire upstairs the best with the split bath and spacious bedroom.
Enjoy them once you get them and take turns really wide while watching your RV tires in the mirror.
Hope you both join the club and start joining us at rallies. We want to see your new beautiful coaches!

Hi BigJim45,
Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum and family. We have a great bunch of people here with lots of information and all willing to share their knowledge when needed.
Hope you have a great time with your Prowler. Please think of joining the Heartland Owners Club and attending rallies where you will meet lots of great folks and eat lots of food.
Enjoy the forum.

Word of caution with that HDT...be sure you have either an air hitch or an air pin...we learned the hard way, that a cushion is required when towing with more than a 1 ton truck.
We did it will be signing on line this coming week
A quick and easy way would be to measure the end of the axle on each side with a tape measure. If it is more than a quarter to half inch difference on level ground be afraid, very afraid that would provide concern enough to have the alignment checked by laser at a reputable shop. Mine was out over 1.5 inches which caused feathering on the rear tires because the hangers were not installed by whom ever properly and requires a hassle to get it repaired. If you accept the trailer and there is a problem with alignment that may not be noticed until tire wear shows it is abnormal, you my be out of warranty by that time-- depending on the miles you drive in a year. Then you either have to put up with high tire wear and possible blow outs or pay to have it repaired.How does one check the axle alignment without taking it to the shop to be checked?

That's a very unscientific way of checking the alignment. There is too much room for error.
For this to be at least somewhat accurate you will have to be sure the trailer has been pulled in a straight line for a while. If it has recently been in a turn the axles may be torqued and result in a false measurement.
Also, it does not check the axle alignment to the pin.
It also does nothing to check camber or caster.
Remember, this is just my opinion.

Does your 2012 have the "Correct Track Alignment System"? Or, was that new for 2013?
