We generally buy from e trailer and have great service. I tried doing a write up called short squirreled were I was redoing the running lights and the boxes. Plus the 120 that had been chewed through and was grounding out on the trailer metal. I asked my 7 year old daughter to raise the camper tongue to level it better in my drive after a wash. She was barefoot and said something is biting her so I walk up to look for a sharp burr or something.. as I grab hold of the handle standing in a puddle with wet shoes (bam) lights me up with 120 volts right across my heart.
Ripped out the whole system and will start over some day.
We bought the 7 way wire and the weight distribution hitch from trailer the 7 wire insulation has already failed and the hitch came a fraction to small for the receiver they even sent me a shim to install so that the system would work with itself I don’t like it so I welded on some material all round and ground it off to fit better in to the receiver.
Well it’s eye candy to me. Maybe you’ll think so to.

Fall camp
Under the dinette all the cast iron and fire cooking things. I want a chuck box style drawer to contain the smell of smoke. I keep forgetting electric tape when I pack the tools someday I want new tools for the Hilo only. I’ll get crazy and own two rolls of tape.( I got five or six lost ones like everyone.) fishing gear and boat gear go under the full bed in the rear maybe this winter I can get it mounted somehow. Dog beds and one bike also go there.
Dry food is sitting on top of the dinette.

Fall camping
Something’s I don’t like are none of my axle’s line up my three quarter ton truck has a large front and my rear steer is even wider. 1976 axle is the smallest ever!! I get stuck in the tractor trailers valleys (in the asphalt) and swoop all over trying to find a line. Do others experience this?

Love the pictures you post.
Enjoying the pictures you post. Lovely remodel. I heard Yetti coolers are the best. Quite expensive and would be a hot rip off item. Ask Santa clause for some new coolers.

Nice pictures
Nice to have a garage to work in. Have you repainted the entire outside? Love seeing these old vintage HiLOS brought back to life.

I have only painted the frame and put a new skin on the roof. I have a detailed thread on the exterior column called THE ROOF LEAKS. I would have a build thread but there is no columns for that on this site.
