What's "NADA" value of my '96 Hi-Lo?
Insurance comp cov says they'll pay value at time of claim, so what would this be for my 1996 Hi-Lo FunLite 24' in good condition?
Is there something like Kelly Blue Book for old Hi-Lo's?
How much is mine worth today?
Jerry

Sam, thanks. Did as you suggested and found low NADA of $7k and high of $8.2K. Was surprised at how well 20 year old unit has held value.
BTW have you ever had to change a flat? If so, how did it go? Suggestions please. Mine didn't come even with a jack. What kind do I need?

miranda, Tree again. Without a doubt, a "Trailer Aid" is the thing for a dual axle trailer. It's a ramp type affair. Loosen the lugs on the flat, pull/back the trailer onto the GOOD tire, this allows the flat to be changed. I paired mine with a folding lug wrench and keep both together in the TV. I use mine in the driveway to clean and lube the bearings. It's about $45 on Amazon.

Trailer aid
Tree, very cool. I never heard of this but sounds like a great idea. Is this kind of like a slanted piece of wood which you back up on for forward flat or pull forward up onto for rear flat?
I like it already. Much safer than jacking her up too

You can always make your own with stacks of wood. There's a picture of a home made one floating around here on the forum.

Tree, X2. Easy and no risk of screwing up your axle or frame with a jack; just remember to use emergency brake when backing or pulling forward onto Trailer Aid ramp.

Dee, good point about using E. brake. Might even use wheel chocks.
I wonder if one of those drive-up fiberglass ramps would work. They come in pairs and are used to drive car/truck upward so as to be able to crawl under to do maint. Has anyone used one (not both) of these to drive good tire up onto in order to fix flat on other wheel?

No, they absolutely will not work. The trailer aid is the right thing to use. There are two models, the Trailer Aid and the Trailer Aid Plus. I think the regular Trailer Aid would be sufficient. It's the black one. Look at this: https://www.amazon.com/Trailer-Aid-P...ds=trailer+aid
