Mine is an '86, so their may be a slight difference. Where you have a white makes sense for the fresh tank. Mine is most likely the same. I'll check where those monitor wires go to and we'll find out together.

Jeff, give me a day or so, I'm opening my shop in NC and things are a bit busy. I know that only one set of all colors go to the panel, then somewhere they branch to the tanks. I haven't found area yet. When I tested the monitor, all showed empty as they should have. testing tank depth is in the...

Jeffd39, I have the same panel. the fresh tank is enclosed so I can't see how that's wired, but here's the color of wires for the GREY tank from the top down: blue yellow orange black and red For the BLACK tank: blue yellow orange black green Sorry, can't help on the fresh, but I do see a...

TDixon, I'd love to see pics of your '86 as I'm getting ready to restore my '86. The interior was pretty much gutted when I got it. Wondered what it started out looking like. Tree

Agree with Jack, Mine is in the up position here in FL most of the time. When I do lower it, I just pull the cable and lower it. It stays raised. Also, lowering it on to the safety bar prevents the seal from sealing. Leave it up. There was a post a few years back about how the bar "jack-knifed"...

David, After just a few days, I went to lower the top and, shazam! same problem you had. My release tube was blocked with debris. Little lube all's well Tree

David, leave a good amount of slack in the release cable 2-3". Don't want the cable to prevent the bar from coming down. Best of luck. Tree

If you have a 1/4" thick piece of hard rubber, you can glue it to the bottom of the bar with a groove in it for the cable. I have seen this before. Works! Tree

Ok, Dcastle, this is how mine looks. your cable just needs to move inward toward the center line. Mine is pretty loose also, as it should be. Move it, and run it thru several times, no need to lower the unit, just pull the cable several times with the top FULL up. Tree

Dcastle, Have the same trailer. Give me a few and I'll send a pic of mine.

bk1486, Welcome to the forum! A well maintained camper has few problems, but DO arise no matter the make. In our reference library, click the Hi Lo Owners Manual. There you'll find a "sticky" with videos relating to the systems on the Hi Lo. Maintenance tips also. The leaky roofs are often...

Just a bit of an update on the '86. New hydraulic pump with wired control box is a welcome change to the standard way of raising and lowering. I do it at a distance so I have a visual advantage. I still pull the cable for safety release, but then I can stand back and watch the lowering even to...

Tom, the parts I need are the same shape, dimensions and design on both my Hi Los, so when ordering these parts, I'll order total footage for both units, one shipping cost. On the 27'er, the seals under the windshield cover are still perfect, so I'll duplicate them on all units. I do hope all...

Here's a little info on galvanic corrosion on aluminum. There are those who make temporary repairs (myself included), but here's why we CAN'T stop those pesky pin holes. Pictures please... First pic back of the paneling touching the metal roof. The dust from the galvanic corrosion is the white...

The seals on all the windows of this '86 have shrunk way too much, so I'll order the upper seal on the awning windows, 9 feet total, That'll give me an idea how it is working with them, cost per foot, shipping etc. Then I'll re-cap on the forum. May get some for the 27'er as well, they are a bit...

Did I mention this unit has been in the woods/swamps of south west FL in the UP position for at least 10 years!

FYI After several hours of needed maintenance underneath, lubing cables, sanding and greasing the guide rod and cleaning/lubing the piston shaft (it does have some bad blemishes on the chrome) it works. A new pump ($300) from Northern tools. I'm happy to report the raise and lowering system is...

Don't never hesitate on this forum. The question you ask has probably been asked before and it's good that some of us be reminded of where WE were once. This rehab on a 20'er is tasking my brain and the wonderful people here are helping me along. Some are just coming out of winter hibernation...

mutt, What Jack said! I also didn't mention that represented trailer weights are often not accurate, nor is the actual towing capacities on our vehicles. Trailers are often heavier and vehicles often over-estimate towing abilities. I think that's called salesmanship. I tow my 27'er with an...

Thanks Jack. I was thinking of just sticking in a Boondocker. I'd feel a lot safer with it. good to hear from you. Tree

mutt, Hello again. I've had both a 24'er and presently a 27'er and towed both with a 6.0 engine and have had no problems, a bit of a strain on 7% grades, but that's expected. The 27'er has the tip out and that really makes a difference. The 24 was a Classic and my 27 is a Towlite, with the same...

Hi, sam. I was hoping to get some idea of which converter WAS in there so when I call Best I could find a near direct replacement. The converter is gone, and even the mounting holes can't be found. Wires are cut and there's a lot of them just laying under the table. And the diagrams we DO have...

Our pleasure!

keystone, Any chance you know the maker and model of your converter? Mine, of course is missing along with the fuse panel. Found fuse panel parts and the screw holes, but some previous owner wired the wire together and eliminated the fuse panel. The correct converter is rather important. All...
