    Rocker switch that I have no idea what it's for... Anyone know?

    It's for your water pump when not hooked to a faucet. That's where mine is on my 95 and I don't have a fridge fan.

    Help! Hilo will not raise

    There is a small breaker that pops out whenever the battery is drained. Near the fuse panel. In my 95 it was hidden so well it took me an hour to find it. My manual said No reset breaker - it had been relocated.

    Mystery Plug/Cord

    Do you think it's a mod a previous owner added? I did wrap all my lines in insulation tube or reflective wrap. Tom we are part time neighbors. I own a lot in the RV park up Cemetery road in Fish Haven.

    Mystery Plug/Cord

    Mine's in storage but if I remember correctly its the plug to my 12V converter. You could unplug it and see what stops working.

    No Battery Power Due to Surprise CB

    As I read this I thought "I wonder if he knows of that manual breaker hidden behind the fuse panel?" It doesn't even look like a breaker does it? It took me hours to find mine it was in the manual showing it in the battery box but they relocated it inside. It might be a 1995 only issue. Once I...

    Safety Bar Cable

    After the bar drops I lower the top a bit to take some weight off the cables. I think that is what we are supposed to do. I have had it for so many years I wonder if I read it or just did it. Then you have to lift it a bit so you can move the cable to lift the bar.

    1995 Hilo Towlite 216TD

    Almost identical to mine except mine is front couch and no drop down bunk. It is a really great trailer.

    winterizing

    The wall was soft and would give when pressed. I also noticed that the screws that held the trim between the ceiling panels were rusty. I cut a small hole and looked in and saw it was bad the more I cut the worse it was. The wood frame was rotted all the way from the front of the door to the top...

    New Member with a question

    Someone on this forum, I forget who, actually changed the fabric wall on the top half to a solid one that swung forward for lowering. One of the things I have enjoyed on mine is doing modifications so it better fits our needs. Enjoy your new trailer!

    As a word of warning - mine leaked inside the walls.

    Mouseproofing (Hopefully)

    The spotlight is a good idea. They jumped up on top of the tanks and just walked to the openings in the floor. I think I crammed in steel wool from the top around the toilet. I was amazed that in 2 trailers I missed obvious openings in both. That earned me a smack on the head from my wife. I...

    Mouseproofing (Hopefully)

    Jack, Mice have been the bane of our Towlite since going to Bear Lake Idaho. Everyone at the RV park has stated that the mice are the worst of any place they have camped. Here is my statement based on my experience. You missed a spot. LOL not sure where. The little buggers are very cleaver and...

    Help Needed!

    I was thinking the same thing when I read that. Also I thought I had read here that people installed a 10 gauge wire from the TV battery to the charger lead on the connector because the TV doesn't charge very well with smaller gauge wires. The Fridge will drain it quick.

    Decided to Sell/ Upgrade

    Deb, Utah has many huge dealerships but my Friend in Des Moines got a better deal than anything I have ever seen here. He got a new Jayco Eagle 256 RKS with the upgraded interior for about $18K. That is what the used are going for here. He got it at: Trade Winds R.V. Center 10171 North Saginaw...

    Decided to Sell/ Upgrade

    Just up the road from SLC - interesting place. Our Vintage Airstream Inventory - for purchase as-is or restoration With the 5th wheel we have on our property I would not trade it for an airstream. The slide giving up the extra width so we don't crowd each other 100% of the time as well as the...

    Decided to Sell/ Upgrade

    Wrascal, Congratulations! This summer I bought a '98 Jayco Designer 33XLS for our lake property. spending a week at a time in our 21' Towlite (17' box) was too hard. I was almost a cause of divorce. It is in excellent shape for being 14 years old so I think they must be well made. My buddy an...

    Water Heater Protection

    As for leaving water in the bottom of the tank I have a hose end valve and reducer to 1/4 " tubing and rinse it out at high pressure when I winterize and before the first trip. In 1993 I bought a Truck camper that had sat with water in it for some time. When I pulled the plug and rinsed it a big...

    head bumper pad

    Was it pink or dusty rose? I liked our towlite because there was no velour to go in and out of style. The cushions are a nice green with cream and blue accents and the folding walls are a light tan to match to wood. I agree on the brown and tan interiors being somewhat dreary. We love the...

    LED light bulb

    I got them and they all worked, were as bright as the others and work great. Thanks again.

    LED light bulb

    I just ordered the 10 pack of bulbs. Great deal. Cheaper than the incandescent bulbs at stores here and I can use the ones I take out in my other trailer. Thanks for the tip.

    LED light bulb

    Great I'll order some and replace the ones in the HiLo. We have been camping in it on our RV lot with 120 but we plan on a trip to Southern Utah. I am so glad you enjoyed that ride. We were behind some folks in a big motorhome with Kansas plates going over the Hogback from Boulder and they...

    couch/dinette bench

    Is your pump under there? I thought I had a leak and it was a crack in a little filer basket on the pump. although with city water the pump wouldn't have pressure. I also had a leak because the line drain valve was unscrewed enough for it to leak. $2.50 at walmart. Item When winterizing I use...
