My 2001 F150 came with that package too, even though I bought it used. I wish the package had included the no maintenance appearance for the underbody too. I Korosealed all of it and a coat of black paint while I put a new gas tank under her last year.

I'm late with this but just found it while looking for guide blocks. looks like former Hilo employees. The site says they will do rebuilds. Home - Midget RV & Trailer Service

Good idea Dee. This rear storage area is made of 2x4's and heavy plywood. I intend to remove all of this and replace with lighter materials that are waterproof, and put real waterproof doors on it. I haven;t designed them yet but I do have some ideas. I will post it when I get to it. I figure y...

Jack is right, if it is freezing up it is a sign the coils are dirty and can't get enough air through them to dry them the moisture freezes. If it works good for a while is isn't lack of freon. I once took a window air conditioner in for repair and it was the dirt that caused it to...

If that tire moves that inch and a half, or the top moves the inch and a half, there will be more to worry about than the window. Tempered glass is very hard to break, I once slammed a cement block into a side glass on a car and it didn't break(please, you don't want to know why:D).

Sam What I am going through is nothing compared to what you are going through. Keep your spirits high in spite of it. the depression is the worst, it comes with no warning, that's why we need to laugh alot.

I might add you should put a price on the ad and a location, at least the approximate area. That will get more interest. I hate to have to email for location or price just to find it is clear across the country and out of my price range. Pictures are nice too. I see so many ads on Craigslist...

Sam, how are you doing? I just finished up 45 radiation treatments for prostate cancer. I had one chemo shot and all I can say is, no side effects like most, but the damned hot flashes make me appreciate what my wife went through.:D Go to youtube and watch the Carol Burnett out takes. Especially...

I had to crawl under a new Ford truck to get the spare after having snow tires mounted. one failed. there was 8 inches of snow...I don't want to crawl under for a tire any more. :D Charlie

I'm figuring a 3 piece, with no opening under the tire. It is really hard to justify carrying a spare, this one is the original and never been on the ground, however, I bought 5 new tires so I will carry the spare. ( I hope I get 20 years without the new one on the ground) :rolleyes:

Shortened by 8 inches. Well, this was a 3 day project. I don't have access to the tools I used to have so every project takes days longer. I have had this Towlite for 2 years and all ways thought the spare tire hanging out was a liability. I removed the arm the tire bolts to, using my...

Actually Sam, I hope dealers are allowed, these Hilos are getting harder to find:D Has anyone else noticed the values are increasing. Good for owners/sellers, bad for buyers. It does make them more worthwhile to redo when needed.

Wrascal, Try putting a quart of ATF in the gas tank. It may help and it's a cheap fix. I have heard pros and cons of this, but I have seen it do some miracles at times. It's a great injector cleaner, and the type doesn't seem to matter. I use the stuff from the dollar stores. (check your mileage...

Sam, we have lots of reasonably price places here in Columbiana County Ohio and would be glad to have you.:D Years ago I worked at a railroad that had the shop in a rural location. We were having windows broke out. The first kid I found on the property I sat down and told him we were having...

David, I spent quite a few years doing auto body work, enough that the current prices of paint and labor shock me :eek: I would get a couple gallons of Rustoleum in the color of your choice and have at it. I don't see where it would hurt the value, but it would enhance the appearance, and...

Thank You Beachpapa. I have just pulled my trailer over to do basically the same thing you just did. My eyes are too fuzzy to read the PDF very well, but I can tell it is a great step by step instruction sheet. I will try to write one as well. I have ordered a bunch of materials and I am...

Thanks for the reply Jim, there doesn't really look like any way to put a seal on the bottom any way, but it would be a good positive seal with two;) .

My Hilo appears to have one bulb seal on the upper half and none on the lower. I have read where some have a seal on both sections. Should all the Hilos have an upper and a lower seal or were different models different?

Rich, That tubing should hold way over a hundred psi. At 60 psi the lines clear well enough that I haven't had to add anti freeze to the fresh water lines in my 79 Coachmen do drop inn that I have set up for quests. When I worked in Schenley, Pa lowest point on a municipal water system, you...

I bought a 3/4 pipe to male hose adapter and a plug for the 3/4 pipe thread thread and drilled and tapped it to hold a male quick connect air fitting so I could plug my compressor to it to blow down the lines. I set the regulator to 60 PSI. Makes winterizing easy You can buy them at the camper...

Hi Jerry, I don't know what your couch is like but what other choice do you have? If you are careful I know you can do it. That's the difference between rip and tear and disassemble.:D I would guess that if you know what Pex is you can fix the leak. It may just be one hole where...

I ordered a couple strings of led lights from ebay. I think they will look great in the corners between the top and sides and give plenty of light most of the time inside. If they work I may gat a string for over the door. Waterproof 5M 300 SMD RGB 3528 Strip LED Flexible Light Strip Rope for...

Jim, When we can get away this year it will probably be a trip to a friends in North Carolina with a stop at a KOA in Wytheville Virginia where a friend from Christiansburg will come to visit us. Next year we hope to do a great round trip heading for Heber Valley in Utah where I have a friend...

Sam, once again thank you. Great pictures and a great job. You are an inspiration to all of us. I ordered bulb seal and butyl rubber for all the windows and seams yesterday. Found out if you know what you are looking for Ebay can really be your friend. I plan on making the bulb seal. I will...

Thanks for the reply Sam, can you post a direct link or am I doing something wrong with my forum settings. I noticed I still don't get email notices so I need to go to ATT to see if the spam filter got turned back on.
