SEM Plastic Problem Repair Material Ahhh, one thing I forgot to mention as I did my research: Wondering if anyone has had any experience with SEM Paints (SEM39767) Problem Plastic Repair Material. . . it is pricey ($30 or so) plus you need a $60 ~ 80 "gun" to apply it (SEM Paints (SEM70029) 7...

< $3 LEDs Ahhhhh, Rich, if you only lived closer. I could bring over my soldering gun and we could drink coffee and talk about the old times. . .. I admire your resourcefulness!

Consider LEDs Funny you should say that -- I just spent a hundred bucks on LEDs for the interior lights. My wife and I would like to do some "boondocking", so that seemed like a wise move. I do like the fact that the LEDs would run cooler (which seems like it may have made the plastic...

Reporting back on Black + Grey Water Tank Repair As promised, I'm reporting back, a couple of crazy weather weeks later here in STL (& the Midwest) - so thanks to all (RichR, Sam, & all) for the encouragement to tackle this - with all of your help, I think I have a successful repair in tow;-)...

Snow saves me for now Looks like the weekend will be quite ornery in STL, so I may be saved by snow for a week or two, however, yes, getting as much room as I can plus getting in and out of this job as quickly as possible (but with good results) is highly desirable. Sam, I have searched on the...

Untreated lumber it is, then Off to Lowe's or Home Depot this weekend, if we don't get snow here in STL this weekend (right now there's a chance). I'll report back. Thanks RichR and NortonRider!

Don't assume anything <g>! RichR, don't assume anything, LOL -- I'll take all the tips I can get -- thank you! And hilltool (Rick), we used to have, many years ago in STL, a service station where you could rent the bays. Loved it. However, they disappeared, and I haven't seen anything like...

Looking for a steep drop off starting tomorrow! Tomorrow I'll start looking for a steep drop-off, Boater454. Kind of like that idea. I've repaired a gas tank on an MGB-GT that I had and loved with a slight variation on that. . . and RC, I thought you were setting me up for a redneck kind...

OK, ramps sound like the way to go Glad I only purchased one Hi-Lift style farm jack then, just to try it out and see if physically it might work and fit in all of the nooks and crannies where I deemed that the camper frame could be accessed. But I appreciate your wisdom and advice -- seems...

Making Ramps I like that idea, Bob. . . I'll have to run up to my local Home Depot or Lowe's and research those materials. I'm a big guy (hence the nickname "Big Goome" -- although thankfully not all belly;-) and I'll have to see what kind of clearances I can get. Many thanks for those...

Ramps? I must admit that right now I have a case of envy for those "Valvoline" (or similar) oil change pits where you can drive over it and then one can get under it while standing up! Oh geeesh, that would be nice. Regarding ramps, well, I have a pair that I've had a Ford Bronco on before...

I'd like to be able to safely lift my 24' Hi-Lo Towlite. I've read many posts on using bottle jacks, farm jacks, etc., however I may have missed exactly HOW folks use these things. From what I can tell, the frame of the Hi-Lo, front to back, is basically a rectangle, with a "VEE" welded on...

Thanks, and here is what I've found out thus far Thanks, and here is what I've found out thus far - which may be beneficial to other members with a similar problem: 1) thus far, local STL repair shops don't want to touch this, unless they replace the entire tank and re-plumb everything. The...

Low clearances I have a 24' Hi-Lo Towlite (it's actually a little bigger than we wanted, but it was what was available near us, looked decent, had the right pricetag, etc.). The previous owner evidently scraped and bent the protecting bar that protects the black water tank in the rear. I am...

Reply to DebW re: former Hi-Lo Dealer Well, Ms. DebW, you have hit that one square on the head - yes - the "former" Hi-Lo Dealer (with their decal on our used Hi-Lo) does indeed hail from those environs. Same one. What puzzles me is that a friend recommended them as being straight-forward...

Please see my thread. . . . Hoping that you can see my new thread on this (entitled "Repair of Black & Grey Water H2O tanks. . . . " as what I seem to have would be what I would call more than a slight crack. As you two have experience with this, if you can go take a look at the photos on the...

We just purchased a '99 Hi-Lo Towlite 24' trailer from the neighbor of a relative. However, the trailer does seem to have some issues. The first one that I need to tackle is unfortunately a damaged black water tank. I've uploaded some photos so you can see what I'm talking about and what the...

I know this is an older post, but I hope I can get an answer to this: does anyone have a method of jacking the Hi-Lo up to provide more room for working under it? I'm wondering if one were to use two of these jacks, one on each side, to raise the unit up -- and then, of course, put heavy duty...

We purchased a '99 24' Tow-Lite and are wondering exactly the same thing. . . seems that the good side of the Hi-Lo's are that they are more aerodynamic, but that also comes with the price of storage. I'll be anxious to hear of any replies or solutions that you may come across.

I've been making LOTS of lists, <g>, and this is good advice, thanks! We're new to all of this, too. . . . .

Thanks, Sam -- actually, I think that was another new member that may have had some computer issues. Everything has been slick as a whistle as far as I'm concerned! But I do have some "Hi-Lo" issues I'll have to write-up and ask some questions about -- for now I've been searching threads for...

Thanks for the welcome. . . Thanks for the welcome. . . and for hosting/working on this forum. I believe I joined about a month ago, but travel for work (not pleasure) has been most consuming. Thankfully that is now slowing down, the weather is starting to turn warmer, and hopefully we'll get...

Another New Member - Hello from St. Louis I joined a few weeks ago. . . meant to get more active quickly but have been too darn busy at work. At any rate, I'll see if this posts. . . have been reading many posts and subjects with great interest. Very happy to see that there is a Hi-Lo Forum...
