When was Heartland"s first Prowler built?

[Gaffer]

Just curious. My neighbor just bought a used Prowler.

PJ, not sure when HL started production. I think it was a Fleetwood product at one time until HL bought them out.

Heartland acquired the Prowler trademark in early 2010. Not sure when production would have started, but I'd guess it wouldn't have been earlier than a 2012 model build in 2011.

Had a 1998 fifth wheel, no slides. Think it was at the time a Fleetwood product. Was the most trouble free rig I've ever owned.

NADA shows the first year to be 1969.

But Heartland didn't build them until recently. They bought the name.

Ok being picky, Prowler was discontinued with the 2009 model by Fleetwood and the first Heartland model shows up in 2011.

Before the Prowler became a Heartland product they had a light blue and white color scheme and a goofy logo that looked like a kitten.

Now the Heartland Prowler has a fierce looking mountain lion like cat in the logo and it has dark gray instead of blue.

Here is ours (excuse the dead bugs plastered all over the front):



Funny thing is I never even noticed the cat in the logo until a couple of months after we bought it.

In this photo you'll see an older Prowler at the far left of the shot and ours at the right.

If you zoom in on the photo you can see the old logo.

I remember in the late 70's my parents were looking at prowler TT's they were some sort of ugly green but was I disappointed when they didn't buy it. The Prowler brand name has been around a long time.

Look where the spare is on the old one. That's different.

Our first trailer was a 2012 Prowler 20RBS.

How used?

Is it a Heartland Prowler . . . or a Fleetwood Prowler?

 

[Gaffer]

Their trailer is a Fleetwood. I thought maybe I could recruit them into the club, but I guess they will have to be SOB's

I think that they would still be allowed to join the club . . .
