Started out last spring. Roof leak. Removed tv antenna then pached mount spot on roof, then replaced A/C unit, and redid roof with Liquid Rubber. Went a camp trip. Packing up to come home rt ft cable broke. The end of the cable was rusted out. Didn't know about cable maintenance. Replaced all cables by self. Going back togeather I think I used 10,000 pounds of grease going back together lol. Not going to rust again. Then the power inverter went out. A little bug got into the inverter, shorted and burned it out. Replaced with a self contained external one. The camper didn't look good. the bottom black was a faided black more like gray. Started painting all the black. Looked good but couldn't stop there. Hand brused the White, then the pin stripes, and then the logo. Also replaced carpeting inside. Well the next thing happen. The Hydraulic ram went out. Real fun job to remove and reinstall after I had I rebuil. Also put new electric front hoist and LED lighting all around on the inside and out. Finallly finished till something else brakes.

Have fun with Your repairs.

Ah, Mark - you're showing us how owning a travel trailer is a true life-consuming adventure! But, good on you for fixing everything that broke on yours! I haven't had the troubles you've had, fortunately, but I have certainly had some others, and some of them took a bit of effort to fix.

The thing I've learned though, is that you, yourself can generally fix any problem in the trailer properly, if you just give it a try. I will NOT ever take my trailer to any RV repair place to have a problem corrected. I found, early on, that these places do not do a good job at all and they cost many bucks to do their shoddy work.

My philosophy is, if you can't keep the trailer in running order yourself, then you should not be trailering.

- Jack

This is a hand me down. My father loved it. I got it from my mother about 6 years ago after he passed away. going to keep it up and let my kids and 12 grandkids use it.
We had some hurricains and with house repairs couldn't focus on camper but were are now.

It pays to be handy. Our HiLOS are our second homes.Iwill take a HiLo any day over a new "garbage RV"" They are made so cheap and expensive. Consider taking out all your windows and lining them with new butyl tape and Lexell caulk on the outside. Wish someone told us to do this as we had mush rebuilding of walls from water damage. Next on the list of repairs is appliance replacement. Most repairs can be referenced on UTUBE. Next on our 1996 is to replace original appliances as they give up. Saw a UTUBE of a RV Transport guy. Brand new unit couldn't even keep the siding on at 65MPH. He had enough sense to slow to 50MPH and the nail holes elongated.
