Welcome. We have a '69 also but yours is a bit longer. I believe ours is what they called a 189R. Watch out for that water tank - after they are this old they leak or burst so add water carefully and don't over pressurize it. Our hydraulics need an overhaul and hope to get that done this...

We have used pool/insulation noodles and just put them down once we are in the up position and ready to make camp. They stay in place pretty well and basically all we have to do is check position. They aren't perfect, but quick and easy.

I posted on your page. We live in IN and have a '69 but I'd love to have somehthng newer and longer. What year and what are you asking for it? We have a 3/4 ton van that can tow it. Thanks! Bill

Roof Repair We had a small HiLo as you describe in the 80s. I believe it was an aluminum roof. What color is yours? If it has had a leak then the wood framing may be damaged or rotten. In which case you might want to remove the ceiling and redo it. Is the whole top bad, or only places...

Thanks, it's a relief to know it shouldn't be a problem. Our insulation between top and bottom isn't so good, so I can see where that might allow road slop up into the cable area. Maybe we can come up with a way to protect them if we feel that's going to be an issue. I certainly wouldn't try...

We are planning on taking our '69 HiLo from Indiana to AZ in the next few days. We'll be passing through some cold/freezing weather on the way and may even do some boondocking. Has anyone had problems with their cables going up or down in the cold? Do you think it would be a problem? The...

We have a 1969 Traveler and need to know what size and type of tires are recommended for that trailer. Any ideas? We had on radials and one blew, doing some damage to the siding, decimating the wheel well (anyone have one they want to sell?), and going some interior damage. Had a hellish time...

Hi Jim, Did you happen to get the furnace manual uploaded yet? Don't want to rush you, just asking. If you can post any links, that would be super! Thanks! Cindy

Thanks for the info on the valve. We never needed one until the tank ruptured. When I get back I'll look by the tank itself for a shut-off. We think there has to be one somewhere. I can't figure out why they had the city water go through the tank in the first place since the outside filler...

Thanks, Jim. Our trailer has the curly wiring running to the upper half. We can't see where it goes once inside. We can't see any breaks outside, so maybe the issue is somewhere inside. Our 12v running/tail lights had been acting flaky already, but now the interior lights don't work either...

I'm looking forward to the info. No rush as I won't be back in the States until May 30 (we're currently in Latvia). We are based in NW Indiana, so Michigan isn't far but we usually don't go north of Grand Rapids. Keep your eyes peeled tho' since we also travel to Flagstaff/Phoenix in January...

Oh, and Jim, I would like to know about the stove/oven you bought just in case we eventually go that route. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I got on this forum because of you, Jim, since I knew you had an almost identical trailer and I downloaded the manual. If you have a manual for the stove or furnace, I'd love to have them as well. Or anything else for that matter. Actually, this valve went out in about...

We have a '69 Traveler with stove/oven combo. I don't know why, but the oven on/off valve was located in the area of the stove burners (under the stove top). The valve must have developed a very small leak because we never smelled it, but the valve "exploded" when the stove was on. No one...
