I haven't had a TT in a few decades, now in an A motorhome but we are planning to get a TT to put on a lot on a FL Bayou and use as part cabin, and part take places close RV. Still use the motorhome for the longer more distant trips. Girlfriend located a new Heartland Prowler Lynx 32LX that has the arrangement and sleeping that will accommodate her kids and their kids. It's a rear bunkhouse. It also was optioned nicely with 50 amp and 2 A/C, tongue jack, and a few of the more common adds.

I know that every manufacturer makes various levels of quality and amenities they put in their lines. I have some friends who have the Heartland upper end 5th wheels and they are very satisfied with the quality and fit and finish of their's.

The 32LX model was new to 2017 but the line has been out a few years. Any comments about the basic build quality and things you like or what to look out for in the TT.
Thanks

After a few days and a bunch of views no one has a comment?? I realize this TT is a lower tier and entry level but surely someone here has owned a Prowler Lynx and can attest to the quality of the build.

We have an 18LX in that line. It is just a baby for hubby and I. We've only used it one season with no problems at all. I'm sure from the price that it is entry level but it has what we need and we are not too hard on it being just two people.

Thanks, we are looking at a used bunkhouse 5th wheel as a primary but she hasn't discounted the TT completely. I do know it's entry level and likely very lightly built. One advantage for us is what ever bunkhouse we get won't travel much so the rigors of travel won't be much of a factor.

It’s been a long time since I heard the Prowler name. Thought that died with Fleetwood’s trailer division bankruptsy. Reading the History section on Heartland’s website, in addition to Prowler, they also have Fleetwood’s other brands such as Wilderness and Mallard. Makes one wonder if they bought the manufacturing line and employ the same workers. They were never known as high end, or even mid line brands but as entry level. Wonder what happened to the Terry brand? That one went back a long way...into the 60’s if I remember. Nevermind. I see Heartland has that one too along with Pioneer.
