Hi Lo in MN winter
Josh:
You may get different opinions here.....but here are mine.
1. I wouldn't consider a Hi-Lo a 4-season camper. Arctic Fox and Big Foot are two that come to mind, but I have no experience with either.
2. For operation in a winter environment like MN.....well, the campground requirements pretty much tell you the minimum you need. Also, consider the potential air leaks around the seal between top & bottom halves on a Hi Lo. It is generally good enough for 3 seasons camping, but in a MN winter I think you'd be uncomfortable! You already know that using propane to heat your Hi-Lo in a MN winter could be expensive. You'd also have to consider the potential for having water lines freeze, even the potential for black/gray lines freezing.
3. Doesn't seem to have hurt the resale value. And, they are back in limited production. And, a couple of very reputable/experienced repair shops exist, run by former Hi Lo employees. Many components are relatively generic, so I don't view this as an issue.
4. Hard to say. Look on RVTrader.com for comparables. I've been looking online and would guess yours to be in the ballpark of $7-9K, but that's just a guess.
5. Certainly, again, look at RVTrader.com. As with autos, trading in at a dealership is generally less profitable than selling to an individual, but also generally less hassle.
Welcome!
