    Installing Coat Hooks

    I have a 2008 Hi-Lo, 2408T. I want to install some coat hooks on the back wall in the bathroom. The hooks will clear everything when the top is retracted. I have a couple of questions: 1- Is the sidewall framing on my unit wood or aluminum? 2- What's the easiest way of finding the frame...

    2003 Honda Odyssey

    Everything that I can find shows that the 2003 Odyssey has a 3500 towing capacity. This has nothing to do with the hitch. It is the max capacity of the vehicle. If you are referring to the trailer's max gross weight you may be able to tow it by not loading it as much and not filling the water...

    Repair of Black & Grey Water H2O tanks. . . .

    You don't need to spend extra on treated lumber. I've had a set of wooden ramps I made from regular 2x8 lumber for over 20 years and it is still in great shape. Raul

    battery size-amp rating

    The best bang for the buck is two 6 volt golf cart batteries wired in series. Unfortunately the battery box in some Hi-Los is not tall enough for these. Raul

    Hydraulic Return Line Routing

    I was looking under my 2408T this morning and noticed that the hydraulic return line is routed under the frame cross members, rather than through the holes that are cut into the cross members. This allows the hose to sag a bit. I wonder if this is the way the factory did it, or if somebody...

    Best way to level?

    It is OK to to level a trailer using externally mounted bubble levels, provided these levels are installed correctly. Sometimes external levels are not installed just right. Also, some of them are installed using an adhesive backing. This tends to sag a bit over time, resulting in an...

    Wanted top portion of door

    Becky, If you can't find one, consider making a new one. I used to have a conventional travel trailer years ago that needed a new door. I could not afford a new replacement and could not find a used one. I started out by figuring out the door thickness. From that I subtracted the thickness...

    Remote battery posts

    The anal-retentive engineer in me would like to see a switch on the positive side. Batteries can pack quite a bit of energy and I don't know if I would rely on a battery post cover alone. An alternative would be one of these: Power Connect Battery Connector Set - Black - Marine - Products -...

    theoretical towing question

    The tongue load capacity of the hitch is increased with the use of a weight distributing hitch. For example, look at the Ford towing guide for the current pickups, specifically the table titled, Hitch Receiver Weight Capacity...

    Thanks everybody. This confirm what I thought: leave jumper in place, and use one of the R and the W terminal. Raul

    Replaced the thermostat.

    Thanks, but the manual and the website are of no help. Neither states what each terminal does, they just provide the standard letter codes used for each terminal on different cooling and heating systems, i.e. R is equivalent to Rh... etc. It should be easy enough to use a multimeter to...

    Replaced the thermostat.

    Rich, I just got a Honeywell Thermostat. The R and Rc terminals have a jumper across them. Are you saying that you removed the jumper and connected the old wires to these terminals or did you connect one to R/Rc and the other one to another terminal. If so, do you remember which one...

    Jeep Grand Cherokee-Tow Questions

    It is very common for people to refer to spring bars as stabilizer bars. So I assumed the installer that provided the the advice was actually referring to the spring bars that go with a weight distributing hitch. Having said that, I fully agree with you. He should use a WDH and a sway control...
