Bought my Toy Hauler brand new. Love the floor plan. I did remove the fold down beds in the rear and replaced with 2 nice recliners.
Overall the Toy Hauler has been fun to own.

Bought my Toy Hauler brand new. Love the floor plan. I did remove the fold down beds in the rear and replaced with 2 nice recliners.
Overall the Toy Hauler has been fun to own.
Problem now is the Alpha TPO roof has failed and I need to replace rotten wood and install a new membrane. Alpha Systems are supposed to be warranteed for 12 years and like all of the RV companies I have yet to hear back from them in regards to the warranty. I have inspected, washed and caulked every year. When not in use I have a very expensive waterproof Cover for it.
Anyone else have a Alpha Systems roof failer. ??

We have had the RV for 5 yes and was fairly happy until we hit something in the road and the hanger for the leaf spring tore away from the frame the cheap metal frame (lipport) actually ripped. Very little rust and the weld stayed intact we since have been told lipport has a bad record for their steel. We will not buy another RV with lipport steel frame.

Getting older and we wanted to downsize from our 31' unit. Thought the Prowler would be a good choice or just the two of us. After a couple of short trips found it to be very uncomfortable inside. Only seating is at the dinette table and that gets old quickly. AC is very noisy, the bed is short and I'm only 5'10" At 14 months old developed a huge roof leak where the material separated at the front of the trailer. $6,000 for a complete repair. Company said it was my fault for not caulking the seams every six months. Currently looking for a new unit and it definitely will not be a Heartland.

Complete junk. The only good thing is it pulls very good behind my F-150. I had doubts my truck could do it, but it has zero issues even on big hills and mountain driving. It has been in the shop twice and each time for 100 days due to warranty taking forever to approve. The sink faucet leaked due to the manufacturer over tightening the water lines, screws sticking through the outside kitchen to the inside bunks, which almost poked my daughter, shower leaked, screws holding the rear slide door stripped out, inside lights above slide came loose and snagged while sliding the slide out, the inside fridge does not get cold, vent a hood went out, front door was ent so bad I could stick my hand in the top all the way to my knuckles. I actually cancelled my storage spot where I parked it due to how long it was in the shop. I will never buy a Heartland product again and tell everyone I know not to.
