01 What makes it unique
The 2600BH stretches the no-slide formula to its family maximum: factory bunks, a genuine mid living-and-galley area and a front bed in a 25-foot-6 box, rated by the factory for up to eight sleepers. Because nothing slides, the dry weight stays at 4,805 pounds — lighter than the 24-foot 2103MKS — on a 525-pound tongue.
Equipment is the standard tandem set: 13,500-BTU roof air conditioner, 30,000-BTU furnace, two LP bottles, the 52/39/39-gallon tank group, tankless water heater, 8-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, TrussXL 4,500-pound roof truss under the lifetime-warranty PVC membrane, MORryde StepAbove steps, tandem 3,500-pound axles. The printed 6,500-pound GVWR equals the 4,805-pound dry weight plus 1,695-pound cargo capacity exactly — the second-best margin in the profiled set.
The trade is width at camp — slide plans feel bigger parked — and one entry door serving eight people. Families who want the open floor and the outdoor kitchen should read the 2602BHS one step up; the 2100QB is the same philosophy four feet shorter.

03 Prowler floorplan family
Heartland's Prowler line — the value family of the fall-2025 Heartland relaunch under Jayco: twenty-one 2026 floorplans from a 16-foot micro bunk to a 37-foot-10 triple-slide rear-living flagship, every one on an integrated A-frame chassis with a TrussXL 4,500-pound roof truss under a limited-lifetime PVC membrane, a tankless water heater, an 8-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator and MORryde StepAbove steps standard, with the light single-axle plans wearing the Lynx Edition badge. Eight plans are profiled in depth; the full roster including catalogued plans lives on the Prowler hub with verified weights.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1300BH | 17 ft | 3 | Micro Lynx bunk compact — catalogued on the hub (weight pattern flagged) |
| 1700BH | 21 ft | 5 | Lynx single-axle bunkhouse — the $16,718 price headline |
| 1700DB | 21 ft | 5 | Lynx single-axle double-bed compact — catalogued on the hub |
| 1700RB | 21 ft | 3 | Lynx single-axle rear-bath couples compact — catalogued on the hub |
| 1702DBS | 23 ft | 6 | Lynx single-axle double-bed slide — catalogued on the hub |
| 1800BH | 22 ft | 5 | Single-axle bunkhouse — catalogued on the hub |
| 1800QB | 22 ft | 5 | Single-axle queen-bed plan — catalogued on the hub (CCC misprint flagged) |
| 1802MBS | 24 ft | 6 | Murphy-bed slide compact — the only single-axle slide |
| 2000MB | 24 ft | 4 | Wide-body Murphy compact — catalogued on the hub |
| 2100QB | 26 ft | 8 | No-slide eight-sleeper — tandem value without slide upkeep |
| 2103MKS | 25 ft | 4 | Mid-kitchen slide couples plan — the compact-tandem sweet spot |
| 2201MDS | 27 ft | 4 | Tandem Murphy-bed slide plan — premium compact couples pick |
| 2500BH | 28 ft | 8 | Tandem bunkhouse — catalogued on the hub |
| 2600BH | 29 ft | 8 | Big slide-free bunkhouse — eight berths, no slide upkeep |
| 2601RLS | 31 ft | 6 | Rear-living slide, dual entry — published weights flagged |
| 2602BHS | 31 ft | 10 | Volume bunkhouse with outdoor kitchen — the most-listed Prowler |
| 2702BHS | 33 ft | 10 | Bunkhouse slide with outdoor kitchen — catalogued on the hub |
| 2801RLD | 33 ft | 6 | Rear-living dual-entry — catalogued (weights flagged, no MSRP) |
| 2802BHS | 33 ft | 10 | Bunkhouse slide — catalogued on the hub |
| 3202DSB | 36 ft | 10 | Dual-entry bunkhouse with outdoor kitchen — catalogued on the hub |
| 3301RLT | 38 ft | 6 | Triple-slide rear-living flagship — catalogued on the hub |
The Prowler roster splits into two build classes: single-axle compacts (the 1300–1800-series plus the 1802MBS — an 8,000-BTU wall air conditioner, one 20-lb LP bottle) and tandem-axle full-size plans (13,500-BTU roof air, two bottles, with 15,000-BTU and second-A/C-plus-50-amp options). The light plans wear Heartland's Lynx Edition badge — a trim identity, not a separate line. This is a published-GVWR-clean line on the factory pages for every profiled plan except the 2601RLS, whose published set does not sum and is flagged on its page. RVUSA's MSRPs run roughly $375–$525 below the current factory Base MSRP (stale records, logged; the 3301RLT gap is $9,525) and West-edition twins are excluded. Always confirm against the unit's weight sticker before towing.
04 Notes on this floorplan
Berths per pound
Eight factory-rated berths at 4,805 pounds dry — the lightest path to a full family count in the roster, towable by a well-equipped mid-size truck.
Slide-free is the feature
No slide seals, motors, toppers or winter prep — the maintenance argument the no-slide plans make.
One door, eight people
A single entry serves the whole crew — the dual-entry 2602BHS and 2601RLS solve the traffic jam.
05 How it compares
The open-floor family move — a slide, an outdoor kitchen and a ten-berth rating for 1,010 pounds more dry weight.
The same slide-free idea four feet shorter — 375 pounds lighter with the identical eight-berth rating.
The value slide-free family field — the 2600BH counter is the tankless water heater and the printed factory price.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 52-gallon fresh tank is about 434 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 26% of the Prowler 2600BH’s 1,695 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,261 lb (158 lb per rated berth). Across 8 Prowler floorplans the water share runs 24% to 28%, and 5 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Prowler 2601RLS at 25% and Prowler 1802MBS at 26%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).
07 Where this floorplan sits
Closest sibling: the Prowler 2100QB, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 5 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 29 ft 5 in vs 25 ft 8 in; dry weight 4,805 lb vs 4,430 lb; GVWR 6,500 lb vs 6,000 lb; cargo capacity 1,695 lb vs 1,570 lb; dry hitch weight 525 lb vs 515 lb. They match on sleeps, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 15 recall campaigns and 2 owner complaints against the Prowler line. They are counted separately: a recall is a confirmed defect with a remedy, a complaint one owner’s unverified account.
Too few reports to show a pattern. 2 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover equipment and structure.
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Prowler line page.
