    Trailer Life article on Prowler

    Opened up the new trailer life last night to find that the feature was a Dodge Ram pulling a Heartland Prowler. Decent article on both, with a real good price range on the trailer. Trailer was a Prowler Sport 26P BH. Thought it was worth mentioning.

    Auxiliary fuel/ toolbox combo

    I can find all sorts of tanks for diesels. Is there an aftermarket "large" tank for gas engines, if not, why? I know "gas jobs" are in the minority when it comes to TV, but just a half-ton hauler.

    Spare tire carrier

    Looking at the spare tire carrier on our Trail Runner, I was wondering if I switched the bracket around so that the tire is under the trailer, if it would hold? With the height of the trailer from the ground there should be no clearence issues. Just wondering if anyone has tried this in the...

    EDGE M21 Window

    I know it seems like a broken record, but you might want to start with Heartland Customer Service or Parts. That way you will get the correct one.

    towing gas mileage

    We are getting about the same milage with a 96 Dodge while towing, about 9 mpg @ 65 mph. With a 35 gal tank we are going about 220 miles and putting in 24 or so gallons. Still haven't taken the tank down to bone dry, the most I've put in it is 29 gal.

    Made it home, trailer is sitting in it's spot ready to go next week. Even though we could make it for less than 24hrs, we enjoyed the rally. Hope to make more in the future.

    China Cover up

    A couple of years ago when Chevy started the "American Revolution" campaign, there was a step in the PDI that stated to remove the "Made in China" sticker off the back of the keyless remotes. My father has been a Chevy mechanic for 40 yrs, first time he had seen to perform that task.

    Don't Do What I Did......

    Another way to remember 1903 is the placard number for a tanker load of gasoline. Sorry, I'm a HazMat Tech, had to put it out there.

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: VA, Williamsburg - 5/13/2011 to 5/15/2011

    Went down to Williamsburg today for a day trip, needed a break from working. Stopped by the campground, decent set up. Just to let you know the manager said the site she gave us might not be the one we get. She said the reservation was for a spot, not a specific spot. Just a heads up.

    Water pressure limited to 60 psi?

    Not sure how the faucets are in your Greystone. The ones in our Trail Runner were like a residential faucet, in that where the water comes out unscrewed. Just had a screen and an o-ring in it. You might lightly take a pair of pliers to it, but wouldn't try to twist too hard.

    RVing for Dummies

    A set of two-way radios is a decent investment. Leave one on the sun visor over the driver and the person backing up has the other. Keeps some of the arguments that might happen to a minimum.

    Water pressure limited to 60 psi?

    Something else to look at is strainers for the faucets. Check to make sure they are clean and not stopped up. Might make a difference.

    Trail Runner TV mount

    Put up a tv mount in our TR 22RBQ. Talking to the factory there is no backer on the wall between the dining area and the shower. I mounted the tv on the side of the cabinet using a piece of 3/4" plywood as a backer. Right now I have a couple af strips of velcro to secure the tv, will...

    Touch Radio fuse for 2011

    Makes sense, the battery got a little low over the winter. When I hooked the truck up it got a jolt to start charging.

    Touch Radio fuse for 2011

    The fuse is in the fuse box. After I did this I remembered having to ask the dealer about it last fall on our first trip. Memory loss at a young age. Still working on surround sound with the tv. I know it will work, just haven't got the right combination yet.

    Touch Radio fuse for 2011

    This has probably been said on here before. I found out if you pull the fuse for the radio and put it back it in, it will reset the system. We had a problem where the radio was on constant scan in both FM and AM. There were a couple of other problems as well. The fuse trick helped. Just a...

    Truck & RV Insurance

    We have been using Allstate for the past 6 years for home and auto. Last spring when we added a pop-up to the policy it, it added $36 a year. That gave us $4000.00 coverage on a 1995 Jayco Pop-up. When we bought the Trailrunner last fall, the insurance for that ended at about $100.00 a year...

    Does MPG have risers?

    I think marc515 is looking for lifting blocks to raise the body height of the trailer. This way if pulled by a jeep it could be taken somewhat off road. marc515, I'm not sure of the configuration of the axle and springs, best would be to find out from a dealer if this mod would be possible.
