    Lug nuts/torque

    Depends on what your lug nut size is...I can't recall what mine is off the top of my head but look at it, see if its US or metric (likely US) and try different sizes and see which one fits. Does that answer your question?

    Generator with inverter question + batteries

    Reading it now...I also picked up The Complete Book of Boondocking by Bill & Jan Moeller which has an easy to understand section on electrical and generator/inverter/converters. I did pull the caps off my electrolyte battery and it was just about bone dry in there so I added distilled water...

    Generator with inverter question + batteries

    Ok but what about the battery— won’t it get damaged by being constantly being charged by the inverter if the trailer is plugged into shore power?

    Generator with inverter question + batteries

    I learned today that it’s bad to leave TT plugged into 50A for fridge with the battery. How do you turn the inverter off?

    Generator with inverter question + batteries

    I have a Prowler 32LX and I am looking to purchase a Honda EU2200i generator (see below). My TT has the stock battery. If I get this generator/inverter....here comes the stupid question...can I plug it into the trailer's 50A socket and run it through that way and run the lights and recharge...

    One night stand

    Awesome thanks. I will remember the tip about leveling 1” higher on slide side. That will certainly make it easier. Thanks again!

    One night stand

    So we're doing a 2 week road trip and will be stopping for the night multiple times. If we're just stopping for maybe 8-10 hours and it's level, do we need to unhitch the travel trailer from the hitch every time or is it safe to leave the trailer hitched up to the truck with the stabilizer...

    Lug nuts/torque

    Thanks. Something wasn’t adding up so I sure am glad I posted here. I made a mistake not looking at in vs ft but glad I listened to that little voice in the back of my head for once. Thanks to everyone here disaster averted!

    Lug nuts/torque

    You figured it out. Those jackasses at NAPA ordered the wrong wrench ...it was in inch lbs not foot lbs and I was stupid enough not to notice. I’ll go back tomorrow and get the proper tool. Thanks a million!

    Lug nuts/torque

    So I replaced my factory lug nuts with some longer closed end caps. I took the opportunity to purchase a new torque wrench as well. I know the factory probably impacts those lug nuts on but boy, were they hard to get off! I had to jump onto the wrench to get it to budge. I put the new ones...

    Prowler TOO BIG! Seeking advice

    Looks like the consensus is correcting the driveway situation. I may look into the backup camera system as well. The TT has a hook up for it, just need to get a camera. Thanks! - - - Updated - - - That's EXACTLY what my wife and I do. Ironically, the main issue is not really backing it...

    Prowler TOO BIG! Seeking advice

    Thanks everyone! I admit I do need to practice more. One of the issues I face is out driveway is almost 900 feet long and has ditches on both sides, is thick road rock, and trees all along the way. There is a small area where I can back in and turn around about half the way down. What I do is...

    Prowler TOO BIG! Seeking advice

    My wife and I along with our two kids (12,9) purchased a Prowler 32LX 8 months ago. We love it and have taken it on about 8 trips now all over LA, MS, AR, and FL. We're now at the point where we feel we know where everything is, we have the correct supplies, and have made a few repairs already...

    Grand Canyon SOUTH RIM TT size question

    So I am trying to reserve a spot at the GC south rim campground. The max trailer size listed is 30 feet. My Prowler is 32'. How restrictive is this? Are they gonna show up with a measuring tape and kick us out?

    New Prowler, 1st service- recall, roof issue

    Just FYI in case anyone is wondering-- dealer called today and said they spoke with Heartland and Heartland says, "Per the manufacturer, the roof was denied as 'bubbles are a normal occurrence and will fluctuate with temperature'." Whatever that means. I don't think bubbles in a roof should...

    New Prowler, 1st service- recall, roof issue

    Thanks for the background info. That helps. I am not in the industry obviously and it does make sense for what goes on but at the same time, a statistical analysis of say, the top 100 reordered parts could be done and keep those items in low inventory? My example is the light cover fell off my...

    New Prowler, 1st service- recall, roof issue

    Does anyone know why it takes 2-3 weeks to get parts? The dealer says it takes that long to order replacement parts. I find that hard to believe especially since I can order a part for my truck and have it at my house the next day. Anyone else have this issue?

    New Prowler, 1st service- recall, roof issue

    I called Heartland again this morning and was able to reach someone who was very nice and wanted to help. I emailed him the pictures and he said he would try to reach out to Dixieland and see what needs to be done. Hopefully it will all work out!

    New Prowler, 1st service- recall, roof issue

    Thanks! I called Heartland and ended up leaving a message for a call back. I guess I will see what they say. I was able to reach someone at the dealership today and they pretty much say "they're looking at it" but not sure yet what the diagnosis is yet.

    New Prowler, 1st service- recall, roof issue

    Hi everyone, I brought my Prowler back in August. No major issues just the LPheater not working. I was going to deal wit that later but got a recall notice in the mail from Heartland about some wiring issue with the trailer brakes so decided to get both addressed. Just before going, I noticed...

    Family Vacation to the West from Louisiana

    Indeed I have some great tips and ideas from everyone...thanks! I think we will go for the North Rim, Zion, and Dead Horse SP in sort of a clockwise loop. Getting through the tunnel at Zion will be interesting! I will post my planned route as soon as I have it done on Good Sam and get the...

    Family Vacation to the West from Louisiana

    Thanks! Looking at all that right now on Good Sam. Tried to make a rez at GC North Rim and panicked as it shows all full but then I realize (I think) the booking window is 6 months out so will try again March 1.

    Family Vacation to the West from Louisiana

    That's awesome! I was looking at the Good Sam planner and I think we will stay north like you suggested, see Zion and Dead Horse. We have family in Cedar City so may try to swing out that way as well.

    Perfect! Just what I was looking for! I will check out Flagstaff and Sedona and the train tour as well. Thank you for taking the time to (re)type all that information. It is a slow day at work today so I hope to work on this. We belong to Good Sam and AAA so I guess I should have checked...
