Ok so I got another switch that looks like a old antenna hook up but has a light and switch looks to be a powered antenna hook up but not sure on it it's on a cabinet . Would like to know but if it is antenna it is of no use to me since I have a on the satellite for it . I will be adding a LCD TV probably no bigger then a 19 inch

Many of the Hi Los had digital antennas as an option, crank up. Mine has a socket for a 12V tv, a coax plug and a small button that when pushed in a green light would illuminate. The antenna could receive digital broadcasts within a specified range.
I've been in CGs where I got zero reception and places where I've gotten 58 channels. If this system is installed in the unit, I'd leave it there for potential resale value.

the crank up antenna is long gone but still has the spot for it

Thank you spent two nights in the hilo and AC was ice cold just some dimming of the lights but everything was good . Did this in my back yard to make sure

Just wondering if your converter is going bad or a start capacator in your AC? Our AC is also ice cold.

Hey there. Got my Hi-Lo about a year ago. Enjoying it so far, its a 2100 Breeze about #3200 light enough to get a perm tag. Tow vehicle is a 2008 Toyota highlander V6 3.5L, get about 14MPG. We had to install a break controller but for some reason I keep blowing the fuse not sure if there is a short somewhere.
It Tows pretty good can be a little rough on high hills but just switch to manual transmission and lower the gear and cruise it.
I cant seem to get the pilot to light in the oven and the fridge I have yet to figure it out I tried all the settings but it just doesn't seem to fire up.
Latest issue is I lost my stabilizer leg crank, where can I get a new one??
Thanks everyone
Bex

You can use a 3/4" wrench in a pinch. Amazon sells the speed wrench that's made for the stabilizer or you can get a socket that fits an electric drill.

I know we aint talking about the same things but I had to make my own crank handle for mine! I just took a socket with my hand grinder, and ground 2 slots in the socket to fit my crank on trailer bar, put breaker bar on it, it works good. going up, except if it falls yer f++++d .
I have a ratchet type system on my bar system on m crank handle on mine, I haven't fixed it yet tho. I have to come up with another solution. or rebuild my ratchet system needs a spring return and release on it yet. even new gear on it. I still have so much to do, and finish up but cant right now.
