Heartland Prowler 2602BHS
Still in production. A used 2023 would run roughly $17,500.
dry weight 5,920 lb + fresh water (52 gal, full) 434 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.
Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 2602BHS's published weights held steady.

Heartland (Caution tier): Heartland's price-leader travel trailer - wood-framed with corrugated aluminum siding and only R-7 walls through 2022; the 2023 switch to Azdel on welded aluminum helped, but the line's water-intrusion and fit-and-finish complaints keep it in the budget tier.
