Hello Campers, I needed gas struts for the tip-out on my 2805C I found that 35 to 40 lbs. is the force needed. I purchased a 2 pack of 20-inch 40lb/178 Gas Strut Spring Shock off of Amazon. They work great. Pierre

Hello, This happened to us when we tried to raise our 2805C on unlevel ground. I was fortunate in that J&R still sold parts. The rod has a hole in one end that has a compression spring clip which holds it in place. Support the top of the tailer with 4x4 boards between the top half and the...

I have the size of the strut. I do not know the working force they come in 20, 40, and 60 lbs. force per strut. If I get one that is too weak the door won't stay up. If I get one that is too strong, I may end up bending the door assembly. One strut has no pressure and the other measures...

Thanks for the quick reply. PL

Hi, I notice you have a 2808C, I have a 2805C. Do you have any information on the gas strut associated with the tip out? I have one that went flat but there are no markings on it. Thanks, Pierre Levasseur

Dear Campers, I have a gas strut on my 2805C tip out that has dropped pressure. I understand that gas struts usually have an attached label these do not. Does anyone know the pound force of these gas struts? I have the compressed and extended dimensions and all that I need it the force or if...

Hi Ed, When you crank the jacks into the upper most position do you add additional torque? It sounds like your jacks are well lubricated. Do they wabble when they are moving down towards the round? I took one apart and found it wabbled and was much easier to spin that the others even if they...

Hi Dave, I cannot find what size Hi-Lo you have...just curious. I have a 2805C Hi-Lo which I pull with a 5.7L Tundra. I have not had issues with the setup. I too have blown a tire and now have an IR gun to check tires at each stop. Pierre

Hi, My thought would be if it is not broken do not fix it. Keep it as a backup. I blew an inverter when we had the air conditioner running the post blew a braker. This cause a spike on the line and took out the inverter. I did not know it for three days until lights got dim and the monitor...

Hi, Yes, that molding is necessary. It is a water deflector. These windows are not waterproof in driving rain, even if you torque the windows closed hard. This rubber shrinks due to to drying out. I do not know where to get that molding. You might try constant application of rubber...

Hi, Are you referring to the cap over the window? There are screws hidden in the flaps of the fabric. Pierre

Hydraulic lift system. The bottom guide bar needs to be greased. Looks like you have fluid on the guide bar it can stick if there is rust between the bar and the plate. Try to get the guide bar smooth with sandpaper and then grease heavily. Looks like you have hydraulic fluid on the guide...

Your pictures are confusing. Did you have four cables? I see three pullies, were you lifting with three cables only? The plate must be balanced on the ram or damage may result. The ram cannot be repaired.

Hello, I am asking here because I could not find how to start a short post. I have a 2805C and just finished a rebuild of the lift system. I mistakenly used a brass fitting for the high pressure line. Just before the the system latched in place I lost pressure and had a big mess to clean up...

There used to be a Hi-Lo dealer called Stahmann Sales Co., 2021 FM78, Seguin, TX 78155 They used to service the trailers and may have someone that remembers how to do it. Good Luck! Pierre
