I called and spoke with Rob at J&R today. Seems like a good guy. He quoted me on the cables for my rig and he informed me that they are trying to fill up their off-season repair schedules so they are offering some discounts for work scheduled during that time.

I have a 2695RDS and I have 30/30/30 Fresh/Grey/Black plus 6 gallons of fresh in the water heater. On our first weeklong dry camping trip...we had to refill/dump twice in the first 2 days. Then we wisened up and had a family meeting and went the next 5 days totally fine. We are five in our...

What do you all use to remove oxidation on your HI-LO? I have quite a bit on my '95 and would like to get as much of that original shine back as possible.

I have a '95 26' with a 17' or 18' awning (not quite sure where to start measuring) Anyways, I have a question about the add-a-room if anybody uses one. I'm looking at the one made by Carefree such as this one: RV Add a Room on Sale For those that may have used / seen this: Does the entire...

Congrats on your purchase. My '83 21' funchaser actually sleeps my family just as comfortably as my '95 26' Voyager.

Nice pics Firemarshal! That's what I'm talking about. What campground is that? I'd like to exchange Intel on some nice camp spots. Since we're in the same 'neck of the woods.'

I second Firemarshals tip on carrying fuses. They tend to blow at the most inopportune times.

At some point or on some models (my '95 for example) Hi-Lo removed the rear spare tire and stow it between the tongue in front - behind the propane bottles. Update - I have opted to put my bikes in the back of the tow vehicle. I purchased a snugtop for the Avalanche and they fit great and...

Thanks for the clarification. I wonder whether you would have had a problem if you had filled your fresh water tank. I know the RV Park that I'm planning on visiting at Mammoth Mountain next winter doesn't allow direct water connection during winter. You can only fill up the tanks.

I'm always interested in surveys like these. It seems like those 8.2 million households with RV's are sometimes all in California. It's so hard to reserve a spot here. Add to that state and federal budget cuts - causing campground closure threats....the problem will only get larger. I also...

Going back to the pump option...this mod might be of interest. Water transfer pump - He Ruide's Photos He's a popup guy...but a nice looking mod.

Why not just use a larger regular sheet and tuck it under the matress like hotels do? Makes it easier to change too. Excuse me for stating the obvious. I'm sure you've considered that already.

leaftaco - You have a pretty late model Hi-Lo. I'm not sure re-upholstering would really make it more comfortable. Unless of course - you do something like what Neal and Bev describe - with memory foam. I think some higher end new RV's are currently making their benches out of 2 types of...

So far the option that requres the least amount of setup for me is storing inside the Hi-Lo... Eventually, I will probably end up getting a rear bike rack at least for my DW and mine. The 3 kids bikes are smaller and can remain inside (for the time being.) I'm also going to look at folding...

Sam, Nice story. Did you have your furnace on during the night? I thought that the fresh water lines were always kept inside the rig - wouldn't that mean that if you keep your inside temps above freezing that the fresh water lines (not the tank) would be safe from freezing?

Yes. My '83 is 2" and my '95 is 2 5/16"

Thanks for the tip. Done.

While I'm not an expert in such matters - I think you would be fine with your rig. If I'm not mistaken - the 03 Silverado has an 8300lb capacity...more with quadrasteer. Keep in mind however, that although Hi-Lo's are low profile and tow very nicely - they are NOT super light weight...

Thanks for the tip. I'll make a note to use Sikaflex on my next job. My next question would be where to get the stuff....found a thread over on the Airstream forum here.

Make sure you get a waste tank that has an opening that is at least level with your discharge valve, if not lower. Otherwise, you'll have a problem with gravity. They do make 'slimline' tanks. Although they tend to be smaller.

You could always do what my friends dad did back in the 70's....cut a square hole in your garage door just big enough to get the hitch through. I think my friend still has trauma from helping his dad guide the thing to fit in the hole, because he won't go anywhere near my Hi-Lo now. :D

Nice pics. You mentioned that you used silicone. I was advised by my local service shop to use putty tape like this: RV Vent Installation Kit for Sale I wonder whether it makes a difference.

July is a long way away. If it were me - I'd be chomping at the bit to get out there in my new rig. If nothing but to 'test' it out for a night or so. But hey - I'm in California where you're never really more than a few hours away from good weather.

Nice idea Les. I'll have to look into doing that as well.
