    Heat

    I would like to dispell the notion that the heat strip makes the A/C into a heat pump! heat pump is when the A/C's cooling pump (which pumps freon like gas) backwards "per se" through your AC. I have this type of setup in my 5th wheel. what it does is compressing the gas, causes HEAT, which...

    New ones

    I guess you have kind of the same problem with cars? my car is 12 years old, they dont make that model anymore, but even 4 years newer ones, were radically different... But, it doesnt matter. I buy all my parts I need at places like autozone. TO me, you would be in the same boat with the...

    computer question?

    Sam, The trick will be, to not destroy the "original" picture especially while you learn! Using "Paint" that comes with windows, not sure if win8 has it though, if that pertains to you.... Copy the picture from where ever (NOT MOVE) to a folder. this way you can always start over for one...

    2013 HiLo National Rally

    2013 HiLo National Rally

    Hi everyone... Not trying to be a nitpick, and I haven't spent every day on here, like I used to, and I dont think as many others do... I want to state that someone with information, needs to POST the information, or link to information about this "gathering" INSIDE this thread! This way if...

    Posting pictures

    Looks like Chief knows more about these older one (not like mine) than I ever will. All I know was, when I searched for 5th wheel hilo, after I found mine on the dealer's site, I was looking to see what anyone else was asking for even just the 5th wheel version. Well, I found 2, the one I...

    Opinion/Advice raising top on a hill

    I wont be responsible for damages, if you do something like not chock the wheels and stuff... but if you are going to pull up in front of the house, with trailer facing uphill, then do what I do. I back my trailer tires up on car ramps or actually my leveling blocks and boards. and leave...

    Alternators-you southerners

    I found only this Edge Products| Product so far... I didnt look at SCT yet, since it is a pipe dream right now. your link didnt work (blank error page for me) but I put in the info, they sell a blank something, without any "tunes" on them... Mine's a 2000 Dakota 4x4, with 4.7 and 5speed...

    Adjusting cables to get even lift and full height

    I just will say, so you might need to rethink a little. the safety bar DOESN'T stop anything if the all of the cables snap. Just sayin Plus inherently if one cable snaps, we've all found that the roof then at that corner drops some, then jams, and you cant get it up or down without...

    Installing roof A/C

    Thanks Bob, I was assuming that like other A/C's I read about on here that ther was probably a coiled cord that you had to plug in, instead of there being any wires ran to the "now just a fan in a vent" opening... this could change things. I was contemplating how to get the power to the AC...

    Installing roof A/C

    SOme of you longer time fellows, recall I have the 5th wheel... I believe someone took the roof air off, to install a side mounted heat pump, possibly because mine's taller than normal hilo's when down... I had an opportunity, to find a used AC, and storage is not an issue (height wise for...

    Raised then Nothing!

    I want to Yell it out again, EVEN THOUGH YOU PLUGGED THE TRAILER IN, "POWER" IS STILL MORE LIKELY YOUR PROBLEM! NO "GOOD" BATTERY = NO LIFT! End of story. it takes like 300 cranking amps to pump the top up, on a 25ft camper. Most chargers wont give you 10 amps. and that cord from the...

    A/C leaks inside...

    You can try something. Remind you all, I am a farmer, we ride tractors that constantly change "level" you understand, and they can douse you from time to time when it is humid out and water is not drainning as it should. The biggest suggestion I can give you is to use something, like...

    Need Help.....

    Just be carefull and adjust in small increments, a little can go a long way. If another person has messed with this at all, you might find that one side is too high instead of the other side being too low. I made the quick assumption, which caused me to break a pully (thankfully not a cable)...

    Need Advise, Should I buy it? 1969 Hilo

    Steph, I am kind of a person that will buy "junk" that I hope to make usable at least. if you are this type of person, let me state a couple things that goes against what the guys above me have said, just a little at least. Any trailer, you buy used, probably needs tires and battery at a...

    Miles per gallon thread.

    what's the TV? temperatures can affect it, as well as gas "quality" I know when I buy gas locally, at my favorite station, and it is ethanol free. when I fill the tank on my work car, I can get dang near 400 miles to the 12/13 gallons I use. If I fuel up any other station, on cheaper grades...

    Common RV parts? Where you getting these?

    BOB, I love the way you think! I could surely do the same. I also like that the drain for your tank comes out the BOTTOM, and where you can see it, compared to mine, it comes out the side I think I saw, from middle of the camper... Thanks for the tip! and the Handle thing, I thought of...

    Common RV parts? Where you getting these?

    I have one new problem, the drain valve for the fresh water tank, the tiny plastic thing you use to twist to 90 degrees to drain, broke. I reached in, with pliers and more broke as I got it to drain, now worthless but empty. Then I noticed that the Grey water's t handle only, must have...
