thanks.. The photos are greatly appreaciated; thanks for taking the time to help with this problem.

pictures.. Please post the photos; I have the same problem on mine. I haven't pulled the exterior cover yet. Thanks.

Tires Cooper tires are made in the USA. Support our country first.

tires.. Cooper tires are made in the USA. The HiLo tires on my HiLo are made in China. I can't wait to get rid of them!! I am going to get made in USA tires because you can go to a dealer or contact the tire company and not speak chinese or spanish. Blowouts on a Hilo can cause a lot of...

If you have a Camper's World nearby; they have what you need.

LED's I'd say steer clear of any electronics that are made in China. You are asking for trouble.

Thanks.. Thanks a lot..I have already built a shed for it; I was concerned about the tires. I built a shed because the 2 Avco covers lasted about 2 years and started rotting. I have lubed the cables and pulleys and installed a solar panel to keep the battery charged. That is working great.

I was thinking about jacking the HiLo up off of the tires for storage. Is there any problem with jacking the entire HiLo up so the tires can clear the ground? ..and where is the best place to position a floor jack without bending or warping the frame? I have a 2207 Hilo. I was going to place a...

Glad to have the forum back! I clicked on the forum and got this blonde staring at me; I thought that I had logged on to some Scandinavian site by mistake. Is that you Bev? Anyway; it's nice to see this forum again.

Couch/bed I agree, this "bed" is very uncomfortable. I believe that Amish workers helped build these HiLo's and they are probably used to sleeping on a 2X4 running up your spine; no seriously, I plan on doing the same thing. I have found that an electric meat carving knife will slice through...

Get well soon! Getting old isn't so bad as long as the politicians leave our social security alone. I've already had my family doctor to quit because of this new obamacare...and the rationing of hospital procedures by obamacare doesn't cut it with me either! We wont be able to afford CAMPING...

Merry Christmas! Everyone have a safe Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Please don't drink and drive. Hug your family! It's going to be 81 degrees in Tampa, Florida on Christmas Day! No SNOW, although snow is a beautiful sight and fun to play in with your kids, but I can watch snow on tv...

Rip-off! Ins. companies are a rip-off! They want your money, but they don't want to ever pay you when something is wrong. I believe that if you never have a wreck or claim in any year, then at least HALF of the money paid into the system should be re-inbursed. These people that text, talk...

Check... Check batteries in smoke alarms and replace. Buy some of those rodent traps that have the sticky stuff in them to catch any mice that come aboard for the long winter. Spray for ants around the tires and any jack stand or cable that contacts the floor. Cover any vents that a wasp can...

camping stops... I would not stop at a truck stop to sleep; they are the loudest places to get any sleep. All night long, most of the truck stops are calling out "shower" openings for the truckers over a P.A. system. Plus, the eighteen wheeler noise as they come and go, you will not get any...

Love Bug Removal Love bugs down South will eat the paint off of tow vehicles and campers if left on the surface of your vehicle. A fellow camper told me to buy a box of those Bounce cloths that you use in a dryer for anti-static prevention. You simply dampen a "Bounce" cloth with water and rub...

Don't buy an Avco brand; the one that I bought lasted 1 year and eleven months and then it started tearing and falling apart. I called the manufacturer and was told that this is normal for use outdoors in the Sun???? Well, if you can't use it outdoors, what did I buy it for? I do live in...

EEK a mouse... buy you some of the large "sticky" traps that they sell at Lowe's or Home Depot. Put them in every cabinet, drawer, sink and water pump access area, etc. Check these spaces every day until you see no more rat droppings. I guarantee you that these traps will catch the critters...

I picked up an impact wrench for changing tires. These can be operated off of your 12 volts; also a scissor jack. Pick up a cheap DC voltmeter; they come in handy; an extra sewer cap; a 12 volt tire pump; rubber gloves for the sewer work; extra sewer treatment tabs; insect repellent; bunge...

Remember to use the same flavor of grease that's in your bearings now. You are not supposed to mix diferent greases together. Take some photos.

Get some of those large sticky pads at Home Depot or Lowes; put them every where and check daily. They do work!

something to pray for... At least someone has a vision; we know that this is a great camper because the HiLo was Made In America! That should be one of the top selling points. I cringe every time that I have to buy something that's made in China!!!!!!! Send these people a big HELLO!

Refridge.. All that you have to do is run a larger gauge wire from your tow vehicle's battery through a resettable fuse to the charging pin that charges your hilo battery. This compensates for the larger amperage draw of the refridgerator when you have it running on 12 volts while traveling...

Gap between doors.. I have the same problem; the gap is big enough for a giant bug to crawl in.. I wonder why the engineers left this problem. Surely it was noticed by quality control if they had a department like that??? My wife stuffs paper towels in the cracks with a "bounce" anti-static...

HiLo engineering skill? You were right about HiLo engineering skill that was lacking in the wheel wells for these models. The skirting on my 2007 model is really flimsy sheet medal that can be bent very easily. What were they thinking?? The tires being made in China don't help matters either...
