I was a little confused when I tried to obtain the neoprene bulb seal for my 2002, 24' Tow Lite Hi-Lo. This forum was very helpful in that regard but there is soooo much information here I can almost never get back to the same thread twice and I still purchased my seal from someone other than who I thought I was buying it from. Let me explain. I understand when the Hi-Lo factory closed down, there were two components of employees who stayed involved in trying to provide parts and services for Hi-Lo owners and they formed into two different competing companies. Management formed "Midget RV & HiLo services and parts"
Home - Midget RV & HiLo Service & Parts and the actual factory workers who did the RV building in the Hi-Lo factory (and seem to know what they are doing) formed "J&R Trailer Repairs" specializing in Hi-Lo.
Home - JR REPAIR Rob at J&R can be reached by email at
JRRepair@Centurylink.net or by phone at: Phone 1 : 419-883-3001, Phone 2 : 740-392-1600, FaxLine : 740-392-1333. Unfortunately for J&R they moved locations last year and were out of touch while they were setting up a new shop in another building. Additionally, their web site is still under construction and if you go into it, there is not much there to look at (although they actually have many parts available). Well, I have this major rebuild about to begin and I wanted to get some parts and information before I jumped into the fire. I have contacted Midget RV & HiLo services and parts three times now by email trying to get information about my project and Hi-Lo and they have never responded. I did end up buying my bulb seal from them because their web site is up and running and their price was not much higher than others I found and figured they would have the correct part. Thinking I had actually bought the seal from J&R at their new location, and recently finding J&R's phone number on this forum, I called J&R to ask a question by phone because I plan to begin the work tomorrow. J&R returned the call and said I did not buy my bulb seal from them, but they were willing to answer my questions anyway. Rob was very informative and helpful and his price on the bulb seal was actually significantly less than what I paid. If you send Rob an email at
JRRepair@Centurylink.net he will add your name to the announcement when their web site is completely operational. Until then Just give them a call, email or fax to ask questions, or request quotes on parts. I found them to be very helpful with good pricing.
