I was able to have spare keys made at my local Ace hardware. They don't look the same but work perfect. We have a set in a "Hidden Key Box" on the frame, her set, my set and a set in the TV. Tree

Big "O", retired gave the right info, Kool Seal it. Clean it good and coat it 2X, 3 if there is enough. But, I can't stress enough, always keep an eye on that roof. Leaks sneak up on us. Tree

Guess I'm lucky enough to be able to keep my Hi Lo plugged into a 20 amp house outlet year round. Never lost a battery in all those years. Even now, my unit is in the mountains, winterized etc, but still plugged in. Only difference was I used to keep a Battery Minder plugged in during off...

photo, Like I've said, never worked on a Hi Lo this old but I have seen older ones that had a coiled or flexible power cable going to the A/C. I'd suspect that's the power source. No idea what the plug ends look like. I thought someone with an older unit would have piped up by now, but they...

Haven't worked on a unit this old, so I'd have to ask the question, is it plugged in? Follow the power from the A/C backward. You'll find the problem. Tree

G, mine are on with covers, but it's the same as in FL. My only concern is tire theft. But neighbors says not a problem. My cameras would catch them anyway, thus the po-po also. Tree

G, just went on "RV exterior accessories" at amazon.com and found the one that measured 91/4" overall and 8" mounting center to center. I needed white, but I'm sure they have it in other colors. Todays price $6.20 Tree

G Dale, I picked up mine at amazon Tree

G Dale, I've never had to winterize any of my Ho Los as I live in Florida, I didn't need to. However, this year "the Treehouse" will be living in NC. I had the same question. Best answer I got was this: Lower tongue all the way, place GOOD jackstands on the frame behind rear axle. Raise tongue...

cva34, Last thing I do before applying butyl tape is wipe the area down with rubbing alcohol, just my 2 cents. How's everything else going? Tree

I also have an 8500 awning, however, the fabric has been replaced with a stock size. This stock size is 1 foot too long. At first I thought I had some weird set up and thought I'd have to replace it. Then I found that if I didn't deploy it fully, it would stay like normal. That's what I'm used...

If the air vent is properly hooked up, water will come shooting out of it when full.

I've been using an Rear View Safety (RVS) system for years and on several Hi Los. Just over 180 degree view. If the car is not behind me, then they are in my mirrors. Got them from amazon $196 prime. Plenty of cable and pretty easy to install. All the cable is hidden in the frame of the Hi...

Keep an eye on it, may need tweeking later on. Glad to hear it worked out. Tree

Usually a placard street side (Left or drivers side), sometime stamped somewhere on the "A" frame, (maybe painted over) and if original cabinets, inside one of those doors. Mines on the door under the sink. Hope this helps. Welcome to the forum! Tree

Agreed, as a short term remedy, a reseal is ok. I try not using metal knives, razors etc. I prefer a stiff piece of plastic, sharpened. Less damage to the already thin aluminum. Also, after reseal, I'd put down a layer of etherbond (sp) over the seam. They also have it in silver. Caution, sticky...

Glad you found the culprit. You also learned stuff. Thanks to this forum, I've learned a great deal. Tree

Sweet! Really nice to see a classic still on the road and in use. Best of luck with that beauty. My "Tree House" has been home for about 5 weeks now, while I re-hab a 100 yr old house I bought in the mountains of NC. I really enjoy living in a Hi Lo, although looking forward to the house soon. Tree

Ult, The one "amountaincreeker" is the same one I purchased on amazon, is actually reversible. Right or left. Don't remember the cost, but cheap. Tree

Good to know, thanks, renoites. Tree

G Dale, Barman lenses are hard to come by for Hi Los. But, they can be found! Suprisingly, amazon has quite a few. You can try the Bargman site and enter the number on a lens or you can just google it. As a note, all my 12v lites have been changed to LEDs except running lites. I've ordered them...

As I suggested above, remove the shroud, and clean everything you can get to. The condensate pan is very small, but does collect a lot of debris. Low pressure air works for the drains. Tree

That one tag does say " 1 86" could be Jan 86. make sense?

h Here is MY basic steps for replacing the A/C gasket. top up. remove the inside trim, knobs, filter, the three or four bolts and the electrical connection. Some unit require the removal of two small electrical boxes-depends on model. Lower the top. With a 6' ladder, (and a helper if avail)...

Ult, let's try these photos. Sorry they are rotated. 1st shows the doors are connected. 2nd shows they are separated but still together (velcro) notice the position of the lever between the 1st and 2nd, and the 3rd shows the screen away from the door. in the 1st pic the lever is held by the door...
