I used Sikaflex 252

I found out that the way to couple the valve and tank is to put polyurethane sealer on the valve pipe and use a hose clamp at the tank flange.

My dump valve pipe slides into my black tank extension and is secured with a hose clamp. Over time it works loose. No fun. So I ordered a 3 inch flexible coupling that has 2 hose clamps thinking, since it’s rubber, it would fit over the black tank extension. It fits the valve side fine but won’t...

Thanks for the reply. It looks like you crossed all the t's and dotted all of the i's. After reviewing all of the changes I would have to make to change over to lithium, I am leaning toward a solar generator for the extra needed capacity. Part of my problem, at my age (78), is I don't know how...

Another potential problem. Removing the lithium batteries in the winter because lithium batteries don't like cold temperatures.

I have been thinking about upgrading to lithium batteries on my trailer. I have two 100 ah agm batteries and two 100 watt solar panels. One free standing panel and one on my roof. If I up grade to lithium I would have to do something with my truck alternator, replace my Elixir Power Converter...

I just had new fabric put on my HiLo 15t. The new awning comes out further than the old awning. If I pull it all the way out it will come out of the track. I am going to mark the track so I don't pull it out too far. But this does not allow the valance to hang down. It is useable the way it...

Thanks for the reply. Last year I adjusted my cables to compensate for stretch. I had to remove the wheel to have good access to the cable adjusters and was reminded of the requirement to let the air out of the tire to get the wheel off and back on. Just to adjust the cables became a big...

Lift cable breakage I had a lift cable break years ago. I replaced all of the cables. Big job! Fortunately this happened in my drive way. I needed 2x4s, cinder blocks and a farm jack just to lower the top. Since then, I have been paranoid about this happening on a trip. I lubricate and check...

I have had a problem getting my tire off and worse to get it back on. It took my son and I with the air out to get the tire back on. The tires are Good Year 205 t/75r15. Looks like a design flaw. Has anyone tried standard non radial trailer tires? It appears that the tire width is the major...

The photos are in the forum under”Upper Pulley Access Mod”

I have pictures on my IPad. I know how to send them to someone but I have no idea how to put them on this forum. I clicked on the photo icon and it said to put in a http//

Maybe I used the wrong term. I put in inspection ports that allows me to inspect and lube the upper pulleys. I felt if I took off the trim every year I would end up stripping screws. Now I could easily inspect any time without removing the trim. I read that the cable at the top pulley has a...

Thank you. That makes me feel better. I don’t want broken cables. I was sooo lucky that when I had a broken cable it was at home. I replaced them all. I also put in lubrication ports on the trim inside. I didn’t want to take off the trim when I lubricated the pulleys.

I just checked my cable adjustments. The best I can get is 31 inches rear and 30.5 inches front to the outriggers. The top appears almost perfectly level with the bottom with a four foot level. I have seal all around. I replaced the cables a few years ago and I checked to see if there was any...

Has anyone used Boeshield T-9 Rust & Corrosion Protection Waterproof Lubrication for lift cables and pulleys. It says it was developed by the Boeing Company. It is recommended for marine, bicycle, RV, automotive tools and household applications. They claim it penetrates and displaces moisture...

I don't know what they did. I think Campers World puts the trailer on a lift under the frame because I saw a lift when I went there. This small trailer repair shop does mostly small utility trailers and hitches. I went to this place because it is close and has been there for years. I suspect...

I just had my wheel bearings repacked on my 2008 15ft Towlite at a small trailer repair facility. I was informed that it was hard to get off the driver side wheel off and on and impossible to get the passenger side wheel on or off unless the air was removed from the tire. They said the bearings...

Thanks for the reply. I guess my big problem is I am paranoid about a failure away from home. I read on this forum that the cables fail from leaving the top up for long periods of time. I now keep it down, when not in use, and also store in my garage. I really appreciate the ability of...

I have a 2008 15t Hi Lo and in 2016 the left front cable broke in my drive way. I purchased a special jack to lift the left front corner to enable the lowering of the Hi Lo. I can’t imagine what I would have done if this happened in a camp ground away from home. I proceeded to replace all four...

I have tried to post twice now and after going into details I loose my internet connection and my post.
