Far be it for me to tell someone how to run or ruin their business. All of you lucky people who have had the unique experience to buy and own a brand new Hi-Lo are in my opinion, very lucky people. As for the rest of us who decided we could get along with a used trailer or couldn't afford a new one, the main problem we have is that the person who owned it before we did didn't take care of it. My 3389b is 24 years old. It's still structurally sound, but it needs a lot of TLC. I'm not complaining, I knew what I was getting into when I bought it. So what I'm gonna' do is take things one at a time, like I see other owners are doing. By the way I kind of enjoy the nice factory rock guard covering my front window. There's probably more of them lying around out there. Get on line and find one. In the short time I have owned my trailer I have had the pleasure of doing business with both JR and Mantelli. They usually have what you need, and if they don't they will find it for you. There is also a place online called Midget Trailers who have a pretty good inventory, especially if you have broken storage doors.
I will climb down off my soapbox now and leave y'all with this. If you are looking to buy, look at everything from bow to stern, just like you would a used car.
Happy trails,
White Bear
