    pullbehind, welcome to the forum. If you venture down to the forum library, you'll see Hi Lo brochure heading. There you can click on the many floor plans out there and choose one you like or design your own interior. Have fun, I say "the right way is a myth". and "If you can see what isn't...

    What is the correct position of top section when traveling?

    That'll help for sure. Now it won't sit on those outriggers or "A" frame/rear bumper directly. The ones on my "A" frame had to be shaved to shape so I could attach it to the top. That way my hinged battery cover could open fully. Perfect. Tree

    1979 Hi Lo Back section leaking

    migallep, any idea where the leak(s) is? That's a lot of work removing an end cap, if that's what you want to do. Chances are the leak is around the end cap seal and/or windows in the area. I'm not real familiar with the end cap of a '79, but on the caps I have removed,it takes at least two...

    What is the correct position of top section when traveling?

    When the top is lowered, it should rest on the OUTRIGGERS. Nothing on the top half should rest on anything on the lower half on the inside. The outriggers are those four square tubes attached to the frame on the outside. Many units were also designed to rest on the "A" frame and rear bumper...

    Marker light help

    I purchase LED marker bulbs a few years ago and like you, they didn't work. Quick troubleshooting found those bulbs were POSITIVE ground. Replaced with negative ground-all better. Hope that's your problem ans not a wiring issue. Tree

    FRP Panels

    I have seen FRP (fiberglass Reinforced Panel) used on several different Campers and on the ceiling of a 27' Hi Lo. Owner told me is was a breeze to shape and install. He used the suggested joint strips between them. Really looked clean and brightened the place up. This was also the owner who...

    new sink

    Hi all, got lucky today with internet in the desert. The faucet is from Lowes. Called Project Source #0553401. I got that info entering "kitchen sink" in the search heading. I looked it up at lowes on line and ensured it was in stock at my local store. A reminder.... You must remove the sprayer...

    new sink

    RSTOUT, Thanks for noticing. During extended camping trips we brought along a product called "TSP", available from the big orange box store, follow directions, this allows paint to adhere to the surfaces. We used white and gray latex paint and has held up for a couple of years. Note: on high...

    Colorado: Rocky Mountain Hi-Lo Club

    Jackq, Most parts for the Hi Lo are common to all RVs, with the exception to the lift/hyd system. There are many RV parts houses, however, I find most of my parts on amazon under RV accessories interior or exterior. Just search for RV toilets, lights, etc for example. Sure beats some of the high...

    new sink

    Thanks to the info from campthewestcoast, I installed a new, more functional faucet system at the kitchen sink. Along with a new single bowl stainless drop-in sink. wOw what a difference! Not much difference in size and adhesive caulk holds it in place. MUCH more usable. DSO is real happy even...

    Replacing the sink

    Snappy Tom, I have the faucet, but the sink seems to be difficult to find. In my 2703, the hole measurements are 25" X 18". Was yours anything like that? If so, do you know the source or maker numbers? I've tried several sources to no avail, except $500+. Thanks in advance. Tree

    FYI - Draining water lines

    RichR, I'll still drain the way I have, pulling the plug. But, I was surprised I'd never noticed the dump valves before. "Basement" is clean though. Thanks Tree

    FYI - Draining water lines

    Just an FYI: I decided to do a bit of cleaning in my "basement", a storage space in the rear of my 27'er. Got it all cleaned out and followed the water lines in and out of the water heater. Never noticed the two open/close valves. A quick open and closing proved to me that these drained the...

    How to transport bicycles on a Hi-Lo ???

    Jannah, Also, keep in mind that if you need to change a flat, you'll have to remove those bikes in addition to everything else in an already anxious situation. Manufacturer must know it's not so safe to install it back there. A hitch receiver should be welded to both the frame and the rear...
