    Cracked Back Cap

    Thanks Angel , , , Looks like my wires are ripped off my tail light on one side but now I'll check to see if the disconnect plug pulled off. I'll have to use a coat hanger to reach the wire though. Appreciate you responding. My back window actually popped off when I had the accident and tore...

    Cracked Back Cap

    The "back-cap" on my Hi-Lo has been broken loose about 6-8 inches on one side of my Hi-Lo due to an accident. My question is , , , if I remove the back-cap, how do I disconnect the wiring since all the rear lights will be removed with the cap? Is there a disconnect point somewhere in the upper...

    Rear wall pulled loose & back cap cracked

    Long way from home were you. Sorry I missed a visit and hope you have safe journeys. I have not seen one other Hi-Lo in all my travels thus far, but the "midget trailer" joke still goes on strong. Ha Ha Jeff

    Rear wall pulled loose & back cap cracked

    Thanks , , , My conclusion was that as well , , , plus removing the lighting wiring which looks to be a bit tricky. I may have to cut the wires and label all of them. My wiring did come loose and I have no rear lights, brake lights, etc. Thanks for your comments. Jeff

    Rear wall pulled loose & back cap cracked

    I'm going to have to pull my rear cap and reattach the bottom rail and rebuild the inner back wall. Question is: Is the rear cap attached by the perimeter screws and rear window only? Once the screws and window are removed, will the cap be free to remove? I'm going to take pics of this...

    Just talked to Rob of J&R in Butler, Ohio

    Had a nice chat. Really nice guy , , , open, informative, etc. Going to go there with my tinkering. He said that they are only in the process of "transitioning" to their new facility in Ohio, but have not moved yet. They are open for business and have the parts in stock for our Hi-Lo's. Just...

    Need Manual: '99 31ft Classic w/Slideout

    Been trying to correct the alignment, angles, etc. of my "slideout" (not a tipout). Anyone out there with access to the detailed schematics of this odd design in order for me to correct its movement? Mine is shaking on the way down and not sealing properly against the outer wall causing water...

    How to transport bicycles on a Hi-Lo ???

    After many days of research I purchased the Advantage two-bike hitch mounted carrier. Works great by clamping onto the hitch that is installed into the vehicle receiver by a scissor-action. However, it looks like the support bars that hold the bikes in place may hit the propane tanks (OMG)...

    I have purchased a '99 31ft Classic in New York State and the VIN Tag on the outside of it is completely sun bleached , , , it's blank, gone, nothing there.

    Why Not a 5-speed tranny to haul with ??

    Thank you gentlemen , , , My 31ft. Classic was delivered between cloudbursts (deluges) Tuesday evening. Brought her 20 miles on main drags with lots of traffic pulled by a Chevy 3500 Van.

    Why Not a 5-speed tranny to haul with ??

    When I was in the Army we pulled all the trailers with stick shift trucks and yet I've read that Auto Trannys are the way to go. If I am careful not to park on hills, is it necessary to have an Auto Trans? Is it just for ease? One less thing to do? Are there any people that are driving with...
