I'd like to delete my posting and do a new updated one. How do I delete my posting?

Battery storage With the top up, remove the battery (or batteries). Clip a set of booster cables on the the appropriate connectors in the battery compartment, and run them out to the battery. Lower the top and unhook from the battery, leaving the boosters connected in the battery compartment...

I did something similar, but decided to not remove the manual crank for now. I have to be a bit careful to avoid the handle when rotating the crank with the drill, but when manual cranking is needed, the crank is always attached. Maybe the Classic models came with a power jack as standard, but...

Not sure how common an issue this is with the various trailers, but thought I'd post this change. Maybe I'm not the only one that took so long to realize it could easily be done. :) 4 pictures are attached (I hope). Our 22T dinette is positioned over the door-side wheel well, and the cover...

McKesh mirrors We've use a set of McKesh mirrors for several years now. One of the advantages is that they will fit just about anything, so if you change vehicles you just need to adjust the mirrors accordingly. I've never noticed any wear on the window glass. I did need to bend the mirror...

Yep, a better solution Those lights definitely look better than what I did, and easier to install. I haven't found a Canadian source yet though, and ordering them from the US makes them even more expensive than they were for you. Maybe someday. Sigh. Gord.

Hoppy level size Looking at the picture I posted, I realize it's hard to tell how big the Hoppy levels are. They're not real big, about 3-4 inches long total. Here's another picture, maybe easier to tell the size. Front and side ones are about the same size, just different graduation...

Relative light output is a judgement call I guess. The LEDs produce a blue-white light, vs the yellowish light from the original bulb. I think one 4-LED module wouldn't be as bright as the 1141 bulb, but using the two modules together seems to produce a comparable light. I find the LEDs just...

Hoppy levels I'd like to put in a plug for some Hoppy brand stick-on levels I've used for years. They provide a direct read of how many inches off level the trailer is. They come in a set of 2, one for the front for side-to-side level, and one for the side for front-to-back level. The...

I got some less-expensive LED lights yesterday, and thought I'd post a couple of pictures of the trial installation. These LED modules have 4 LEDs per module, and cost about $3 each module. Each module is encapsulated in plastic, so should stand up to RV use. The modules that simply plug in to...

I had the EZ-lube type bearings on our Aliner (preceded the HiLo), and they worked great for the 8 years or so we had the trailer, with lots of road miles. The design of the one we had, encouraged pumping grease in. Excess came out a port in the back of the hub (which was plugged with excess...

Depends too - maybe your HWH was bypassed for winterization? If so you will need to open the water lines into the heater before trying to fill it. Be sure there is water in the heater tank before firing up the heater. Once the heater tank lines are open, it still won't fill until you open a hot...

Our 22T is one of those rare models with a standard double-sized mattress on a fixed bed, in place of the sofa bed that's more common. We decided we wanted a good sleep, and would trade the sitting space for not having to make up the bed at night. Even with the mattress though, we added a 1 3/4...

Yes, we use an Equalizer brand with our 22T. This hitch has sway control built in.

A related item is the pulleys that the lift cables turn on, under the trailer. The shaft that each pulley turns on can use some lube periodically, maybe once a year. Tom (HiLo factory) recommended using spray lithium grease, aim it at the shaft in the middle of each pulley. The spray initially...

We used our antenna quite a bit in the US last year, and it worked fine on digital channels. We connect it to an adapter that lets us use our laptop computer as a TV, one less thing to find room for. Gord. 2208T

The ones we use are likely an older model of the one shown in the CW link, but they work great. Much more effective than blocking the wheels with a ground block. I like the convenience - once you adjust for the span between your tire, it's really quick to put the block in place, or to remove it...

We use plastic hangers that keep things from bouncing off the rear wardrobe rod. The hangers kind of clip on to the rod, rather than just hanging there, but are still easy to get off when needed. Found them at a local camping supply store, but this item at Camping World looks the same: Stay-Put...

Dry-camping We also dry-camp quite often while traveling. Often like the site choice better, and rarely need a reservation. Cheaper too, often $5/day less. For our use, simply adding a second battery has done the trick. We can dry-camp for a week or more at a stretch, and still have good...

McKesh work well We use the McKesh too, and they work better than any other add-ons we've tried over the years. One thing to watch out for - the straps do stretch a bit in the rain (that is, unless they've changed fabric in the newer models). Just remember to check them and maybe snug them up...
