Merry Christmas to all from sunny Arizona. George and Cathy

Just to throw in another data point, the hydraulic pump motor on our 2407T draws 58 amperes while raising (takes 15 seconds) and more than 140 amperes when the seal gaskets meet in the full up position. George WB4IPB

Bravado, I'm sorry to report that page 7 of my RM2453 manual says "This refrigerator model require a continuous 12 volt DC supply to maintain the automatic energy system." It is one of the few circuits that is always live in my Hi-Lo. You are going to need 12 volts in order to get your fridge...

I found one at Home Depot. It was two inches longer than necessary and the rubber/vinyl sweep part was more curved, but it was quite usable after cutting to length and drilling two holes (for Hi-Lo spacing). It was in with the rest of the storm door sweep things. Originally, I had hoped...

John, Which 2007 Towlite do you have? On our 2407T, the converter is on the left front under the dinette seat. From there all of the wiring runs down the left side through the back of the refrigerator, under the shower, behind the toilet, through the closet (some up to the roof), and forward...

KnottyRig, Our 2407T has the fresh water tank up front just behind the batteries. With a full tank of water we can always use some weight in the rear or to ease the tongue weight. Our generator and gas can only weight about 60 pounds. I think that the firewood we carry (when we can have...

DaveReilly, The previous owner of our 2407T added a rack to the rear of the Hi-Lo. It was not connected to the bumper but welded to the frame with reinforced 2" x 2" steel struts extending underneath the rear bumper. It works quite well for carrying a generator and gas or firewood and easily...

Ted, My 2407T had a leak like yours right at the flange of the blackwater tank. I managed to fix it without removing the tank. The process is described here in the forum as well as on YouTube. The toughest part for me was grinding an ABS fitting to create a thicker liquid ABS to apply over...

Minnesota, Our first camper had only a 12-volt battery for power. When it ran down (and after every camping trip) we would charge it. You could install your 12-volt wiring for lights, etc. now and add a converter/charger later if you wanted to work in stages. Then you could add the generator...

Bloodfang, Welcome to the forum. There is a wealth of information and expertise here. It certainly has made the repair and modification I have underway a lot easier. Good luck with your fix-up. Astroham, WB4IPB

1. Here is what the floor-level wiring looks like after a panel is removed. This is the output of the wiring trough that comes across the front of the expanda-room. 2. In the shelf above this are the wires running to the control panel. Now the wiring is accessible for additions and...

Here are the pictures that go with this modification: 1. The inside panel before mod 2. Control Panel wiring exposed after inner panel has been removed 3. The inner panel re-stapled and glued with T-nuts installed 4. Back together, but now a removable panel There are two more pictures in a...

S205designs, That looks nice. I'm sorry to hear about your tire blowout incident and converter problem. I have an Elixir converter box but recently removed the Elixir converter electronics and installed the WFCO 55 amp multi-level charge electronics. This seems to charge the batteries...

RichR and All, I have solved my access problem. 4 inches inboard from the control panel is another thin panel enclosing the wiring and controls of the control panel. The back end of this panel fits into a slot while the front end was stapled to a 1 x 1 which was screwed in place before the...

RichR, I'm going to put a dual Anderson Power Pole receptacle on the cabinet to power my ham radio equipment which I place on top of the fridge when in use. I plan to run a high-current pair of wires from a 50 amp fused connection in the battery compartment under the dining seat and through...

On our 2407T I need to get behind the "control panel" on the fridge cabinet (picture below in case that's not what it's called). I tried taking out all of the screws on the control side, but the panel seems glued beneath every screw except the top three (which are red in the picture). These...

Philip, In our Hi-Lo the furnace and fridge are at the end of the line. Whenever I have had the propane line disconnected it takes a while before the propane refills it. Normally, I use the cook-top to get things going. Turn the gas on to the cook-top while attempting to light it. After it...

Thanks, Luckydog. I have done several small welding projects in the past but I'm far from an expert. Preparation for this one was more than the others. I cut and fitted things for an entire day before the welding began and I obsessed a bit about whether my welder could get enough penetration...

Jack, You are correct. Before any modification, the folded edge of the plastic box sat on the top edge of the frame cross member behind it. Now it sits 3 inches lower and 1/2 inch closer to the front. The frame height is 6 inches which gives plenty of clearance between the battery terminals...

As the relatively recent new owners of a 2007 24T Towlight, we couldn't help but notice that the single battery would not come close to what we need when boondocking. So I lowered my battery box this week so that It will now comfortably hold two 6-volt golf cart batteries. I had never welded...

Treeclimber, Thank you very much. I plan to cap the hard line, but was worried about any air bubbles that got into the system. If I understand your reply though, the hydraulic system will eliminate these bubbles on its own. That is good news since any opening of the hard line will allow at...

I am getting ready to modify my battery box so that it can hold two 6-volt golf cart batteries. Before I can do the work I need to take everything out of the present box including the hydraulic pump. Does the pump/system need to be purged or bled like a brake system after I put it back...

Well, thanks to all of the previous posters on this site, we now have a previously-owned Hi-Lo 2407T Towlite. We were looking for a larger trailer with bit more room (we also have a 2013 Chalet XL1935 soon to be sold) for those rainy days when we get stuck inside, but we also wanted something...
