Brake controller problem solved Thanks for all your help, guys. I was on the road traveling and didn't have wifi until this morning. Price RV Repair in Oklahoma City, OK diagnosed the problem and fixed in a snap. The trailer brakes/and or maybe the whole trailer for all I know -- didn't have a...

thanks sting good suggestion about fuse - forgot that's what it could be. But, I'm just looking for reliable brake repair and wondered if Hi-Lo trailer would be easy for anyone to work on. Called Good Sam and they recommended calling Camping World in OKC - so I'm on hold with them right now...

So, had U-Haul take a look at my prodigy brake controller (newly installed) to see why not working., and he says it's my brakes that aren't working - even the breakaway switch doesn't work. Newly purchased 17ft Hi-Lo. Am on my way to Denver going north on IH35 from Texas border heading to Okla...

safety catch on raising Want to be clear that Stahmann RV maintenance didn't TELL ME that the weight of the top would be on the safety "BAR" when you back it down a bit to a stop position after raising. I cannot remember exactly what he said except he said it was a good idea to save on...

safety bar When I had my 17ft unit at Stahmann RV in New Braunfels a couple of weeks ago, they told me to raise my unit all the way up (little after you hear the safety bar catch) and then back it down onto the safety bar to take weight off the cables. Have any of you ever heard that...

New Braunfels Be sure to check out Gruene, TX - some maps may show it to be part of New Braunfels - wonderful little historic piece of Texas. Lots of artists, pottery, great food, oldest dance hall in Texas I think, tubing down the guadalupe river - it's pronounced "green" - see Gruene Texas --...

Stahmann's in New Braunfels, TX These people really know what they are doing. So glad you found them. Was just there last week and Gene completely re-built the motor for the hydraulic lift system. They also checked out condensation water coming from A/C on roof and said it is supposed to drain...

Am camping in my Hi-Lo for only second time this weekend and the campground has a notice that says: "Park has high water pressure (90psi).Brass fitting on water tap is a backflow preventer, not a pressure regulator. Cust must provide their own." What are they talking about? Do I need to get a...

absolutely no heavy hitting.... Thanks, Sting -- for clarifying - he really did just tap it, and I'm pretty sure it is a case of brush corrosion. I'm going to look around for someone who specializes in re-building these kinds of starter motors, in case it ever comes up again. Go figure ... of...

Let there be raising! Hero of the Day! RV Mobile Repairman http://www.mobilervrepairhouston.com/ Office: 832-858-7986 service@mobilervrepairhouston.com He showed up around 5:30 yesterday at my daughter's house in Friendswood near where I'm storing the Hi-Lo now and with 3 trucks (one HUGE) and...

Battery issue...raising And, if the cells are not reading correct, then what's the fix? I'm really, really, really lacking in knowledge about mechanics and electricity and realize that a Hi-Lo trailer might not have been the very best choice in that regard for my first ever trailer...

battery or motor Good info about the motor not running when lowering. I found that out from Monarch today when I called. The trailer had been plugged in for about ten days prior to this problem starting, so hard to believe it's the battery -- and all lights inside shining brightly - plus...

Jumping batter to test motor The service tech did plug in to 110AC to test to see if it just needed more electricity - would that be same as jumping the battery?

Trailer hydraulic motor will not come on to raise the trailer. It will lower it - had master certified RV service technician out to look at it - he troubleshooted for almost 2 hours and came to final conclusion that it must be the motor. The solenoid can be heard to make a noise when the button...

Tow capacity Thanks, maybe the 4WD Honda Pilot at 4,500 towing capacity would be a better choice. Have gotten mixed answers on this question from people outside this forum and really appreciate hearing from someone "in the know" or "in the Hi-Lo"!

Towing vehicle for 17ft Am about to purchase both a used vehicle and a 17 ft towlite. The trailer GVWR is 3840 and the UVW (empty) is 3,113 lbs. I'm looking at a 2006 Honda Pilot that is rated to pull 3,500 lbs. It's a 3.5L V6 engine and I'm wondering if that will be good enough to tow the 17...
