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...

Thanks all. I can make a tool for my wet vac to clean it, and now I know that I need to do it regularly. What a great group!!! Thanks, again, Ted

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...

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...

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

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?

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...

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

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...

Cape Cod, MA 80F with a sea breeze scattered thunder showers. No power this AM.

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...

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...

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

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.

Hard to figure why the factory does this?????

I just checked Recreation.gov on a whim and Yosemite is pretty full. Check this link.

These are super parks that you will want to be inside the park rather than back and forth each day. I would only go there with reservations. At times these parks, particularly Yosemite, are very crowded. Head to Recreation.gov. You can input the size of your trailer, dates of visit, and more...

We tow a Prowler 27P RBS rated at 9000 GVW with a Ford F-150 5.4L 3V rated to tow 10,000lbs. The Ford stops and goes well towing at 11 mpg. The 6 speed Tow/Haul transmission works well in maintaining speed without downshifting. Having towed at the max with a Tundra, the gas will flow and...

The Prowler surrounded by Javelinas at Cottonwood Campground, Big Bend National Park, TX

Insulating the water pipes has made a huge difference in our Prowler.

I did a little better than my age. 81.82%, missed some of the wording. I wonder how the 20 somethings would do? Ted

At recreation.gov they list the maximum trailer size for each site. Try the link to see where you will fit. Many are up to 50 feet and in my experience they are generous. Safe Travels, Ted

Looks great! I have some random pieces of carpet to prevent cargo shift but your work seems much better. Ted

We enjoyed the KOA. Don't forget to check out Jewel Cave and Wind Cave NP in the area. These provide a good contrast between a wet cave and a dry cave.

PS don't forget to stop at LL Bean in Freeport, ME open 24 hours....no locks on the doors. Ted

Think about a couple of nights in the National Park Campground at Acadia. There are two that could accommodate a 35' RV we like Seawall. National / State parks typically offer larger, secluded spaces. Your battery and holding tanks are usually good for two nights. When making reservations...

Pledge wipes worked well for me. Ted

My last unplanned trip was my honeymoon in 1968 and I learned a lot from that experience. My first wife was very patient, I guess that's why we are still married. I love trip planning. It's what I like best about my summer job and winter travels. Both require planning. From our first trip...

Flagg RV is my dealer and so far they have been great. Only a few issues at deliver and they were taken care of promptly. I couldn't say enough good things about the whole process of buying from Flagg before. I'm sure they will do very well with CW. Ted

You might consider a night or two in Mesa Verde. It is an amazingly peaceful campground. You will camp among the deer. Ted

Thanks! I will. One more question. Should the seal be in or out when the slide room is out? I had a leak on the slide room floor and I checked the seal at the bottom of the slide room and the seal is now in while the slide room is out. Seems to me that the seal should move in and out with...

Re: Entance Door - Window Thanks, TravelTiger! Let the silicone dry. Simple. Far less messy than any thing I have experienced. You still get the seal without the mess. Ted

When I pulled out the carrier on my Prowler, there is room for two bikes. Securing those bikes is a little sketchy. I'm parked now so all is well but I'll put them back in the cap while we are traveling. Ted

Are there any Prowler owners out there? How do you like your coach? Ted

There is a thread that talks about towing limits and I'd advise that you check it. To summarize, don't tow too close to your vehicle's limit as it can be dangerous. Ted

Thanks, all. I'll continue to keep the valves closed as the smell seems like that would be an issue. Also, glad to hear that I don't have to move the slide room. I just wanted to check with this esteemed group. Ted

When spending a month or more in one place are there any considerations that I should be aware of? Do I move the slide room from time to time? How about draining the waste and gray water tank? Leave the gray water tank open? Should the slide room be supported? The tires covered? I've...

I've read a lot of good things about Heartland. That's why we bought our Prowler. My sense is that your dealer is careful about the products they sell. I'm sure you'll be taken care of. Good Luck and safe travels. Ted

The dealer makes all the difference. The travel time will be worth the result if it is a great dealer. Ted

Welcome and lurk on! I have been here a short time and have learned much. Our Prowler is the fourth and best camper that we have had. Ted
