    I just bought this unit. We are in Kansas heading in two days to California. At first the brakes were locked up. I replaced the break-away. Cured that. But the break-away is not bolted to the frame. (No method here to do that). This morning I went to get something, as I pulled away the...

    Outrigger Support Pads

    Hello everyone, My outrigger support pads were worn down pretty bad to the point that the top halve was very very close to resting on the fridge cabinet. I researched Youtube and found a Trailmanor owner that replaced his support pads, (which are the same size as on HiLos) with this Styrene...

    Top will not raise on left side

    Hi all, I have a 1999 hi lo was just given to me. If you are looking from the back the left side hasn't raised all the way up. The right side did. I don't know what I am looking for or how to fix it. It looks like there's water damage on this side as well. Also I do not know how to turn the...

    Hydraulics and Safety Bar System

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to wrap my mind around the HiLo trailer Hydraulic Lifting/Lowering design; I sometimes wonder if the engineers did enough R&D testing on the hydraulic system back then to test and see if the system would hold up the weight of the top halve (which I suspect is at...

    Lift point wood replacement

    Hello all! I have a 1989 24' Funchaser and am replacing the dry rotted bonded plywood "2x4" on the driver side front.

    24' x 16" Skylight

    Hello from Texas. My 1991 model has been sitting in the West Texas sun for 10 years now. The trailer has been very reliable; after awhile the elements take their toll though! The main skylight, it is fixed and not a vent, is cracking from sun exposure. My duct tape repair isn't going to last...

    raising in the garage

    Just got a 2006 27T. Going to store in garage. It fits. The ceiling of our garage is 112 inches, and my camper is about 116 inches raised with A/C. I may want to open in the garage to work on it, but would have to not open all the way. Was wondering if this will hurt anything.

    Scissor Jack replacement

    I have a 1709T and would like to replace two scissor jacks. How do I find what size is the exact replacement? The reason for replacement is that when cranked up they will lower themselves. If you know a fix, I would try that before replacement.

    Another Fridge question

    On my 17 there is a fan above the fridge in the upper half that blows out but when the Hi Lo is closed it doesn't work. I hear a fan behind the fridge but don't feel any air blowing out. Why does the fan in the upper half only work when Hi Lo top is fully raised?
