Well with mixed feeling we have decided to sell are 1999 21' Hi Lo. Hoping to get around 5K for it but we will see. We bought a used Georgie Boy 34' motorhome class A over the weekend. It will really be a new experiance. We had lot's of fun with the Hi-Lo but I am sure we will with this one...

thanks thanks I'll check it out..

I have a 2005 21' Hi Lo. Any suggestions for the best way to bring along a couple of bike's? Thinking about a bike carrier that fits over the spare tire but not sure if it is strong enough? Your thoughts would be appreciated...thanks...donm

discounts For us Passport America works well...we live in florida and enjoy camping in the off season for 3 or 4 days at a time. We often will take a longer trip for a couple of the weeks up to the mountains....

If the pump runs and won't go up could be the cylinder, under the camper, had to rebuild mine. If that is the case you won't be able to raise it with the manual pump either...good luck. donm

I had an issue this summer where the hydraulic cylinder seals went bad and would not raise the unit. What was surprising was how little warning of the problem we had. Had been working fine and on our day of camping we begain to get ready to head home and the unit would not raise after creeping...

Florida?? I checked the list and did not see any in Florida. Does anyone know of a dealer/service center that "knows" hi lo's in the central florida area...thanks.

Just wanted to give all an end to my story of lift problem. Had pump motor gone through and all was well on that end....so the it was the cylinder. With the help from forum group got it removed, no fun. and re-built for around $80.00, very pleased. One problem is they put the end plate on...

Thanks Ed, Good info. Waiting to get mine back the shop, should be ready Monday, said the rebuild would be about $78.00...was leaking fluid back throuh..much cheaper then buying a new one. Plus I had pulled my pump/motor and the went through it and it checked out fine, no charge for that. So...

Thanks....I got it out....quite a bear...not as easy as I thought it would be. Of coarse I had limited space to work on it and lying on your back makes jobs like this fun,,. Now off to get it rebuilt.

Does anyone have any advise on how to remove the hydraulic cylinder. Does it matter if the top is up or down?....any help would be appreciated.thanks.

As some will remember I recently had a problem with my hydraulic lift pump. I got lots of help and info from members and contacted J R who was also helpful. Likely a cylinder problem but could not be sure and to order a cylinder for $200+ and not be sure if it would solve the problem I was...

I've seen folks talk about using farm jacks to raise top. In order to raise the entire top, not just one corner, would you need two jacks. Placed on each side and in the middle, or four, one on each corner. Next which length jack works better the 48" work or does the 60". Thanks...

thanks for the reply's.....might just bite the bullet and buy a new one to have the peace of mind. noticed some folks carry farm jacks to raise if needed.....will two work if you put in middle of each side or do you need four, one for each corner? Or is there a better way to raise it if pump...

Anyone know where you can have the lift pump gone through and rebuilt? Would like to have it completly checked out and rebuilt like new....seems like it should be possible as it is a hydraulic pump.. Seems cheaper then buying a new one. Pump is from a 99 funlite think I may have current...

Ref: my pump still not sure of exact problem.....had communicated with forum a couple of weeks back and J R. Pump runs but does not seem to have preassure to raise or hold up once raised. Went through normal checks correct amount of fluid, running with manual lowering valve open/closed to...

Actually I did and he replied "my guess is as good as his" so I guess without seeing them togeather he did not know.

forgot to add the 97 pump is from a towlite the 99 is a funlite...

Does anyone know if a lift pump from a 97 hi lo will work in a 99 hi lo. Seen pictures and it has similarity's but is deffinetely differant from the one that is in mine? Thanks.

lift pump Do you know if the lift pump is in operating order.....and is it the original or ever been replaced, repaired, etc. Let me know..thanks..Don M.

Just wondering if you still have the hydraulic lift pump? Let me know.

Thanks again all for info. Still trying to isolate the exact problem. I did talk to, via e-mail, Rob from J & R who thought it might be a bad cylinder if pump is working. He said check the return line and see if fluid is coming back through the return line from the pump. If so would be the...

Answers Thanks for the replys...The pump runs when you attempt to raise with a continuous sound....seems like it always did when going up not when it reached the top. When it came down when partially raised it did come down on it owns as soon as the up button was released. I do have a manual...

Just got back from a good trip with our 1999 21' Hi Lo funlite. Had made a number of stops and on our last morning breaking down to depart for home could not get the safety bar to release.....actually could not get the top to go up to take pressure off of it. Finally did and lowered made it...

Thanks...I plan on filling it with water this week and see if I can actually see where it is coming from.
