The original Hi-Lo company went out of business in 2010. Sometime after that, a small RV dealer in western PA, Kerola LTD obtained the rights/patents from Hi-Lo. They designed a very stripped-down version of the Hi-Lo that they were marketing at their lot. I think only a few were built.

I just checked their website and they have Hi-Lo listed but don't appear to have anything in stock nor have a brochure available. So it appears there is nothing happening there.

Here is their website, you may want to contact them for info:https://www.kerola.com/

Thanks I have seen the sites online. I was trying to get info from any owners who own this camper, likes and dislikes.

I honestly cannot recall any of our members who have bought one of these "new" versions of the HiLo. I know it's design did not appeal to me compared to the 2007 HiLo that I have.

Thanks, can you tell me what you did not like about it and the difference between yours and the Wanderer.

As I recall, the new design had no built in toilet, or even a washroom. It also appears the bed is just a bed and does not become a couch or other regular seating. The lack of a flushing toilet is a deal breaker for us.

I'd also prefer a roof-top air conditioner.

It didn't seem to catch on, most likely the price over small standard TTs. I am small trailer obsessed and never saw anyone post on them. The most info I had seen was on: Small Trailer Enthusiast

If it were me, and I was interested in one, I would use the standard checklist for shopping to evaluate it. The RV industry is plagued with inferior products, so this would apply to all units of every manufacturer that you look at. With reviews, one person will love it without issue and another will have nothing but issues. Good luck!
