Paul, As I stated above in an earlier post, I pull a 22' Hi-Lo with my 2008 4Runner using an Andersen weight distribution hitch. I don't have any problems and love the Andersen hitch. The yoke that holds the chains and fastens below the ball a few inches is held in place with a normal 5/8"...

ThatGuy: Are you still interested in light of the comment by Brianagee above? Note that in the picture, although you can't really see it, the back shelf/bumper is not covered, nor would it cover a spare tire if that were mounted back there. (My spare is under the tongue.)

Thatguy; My understanding is the Towlight is a little bit narrower. Still, I would not bet on this cover fitting well. Maybe someone else has more insight on it.

For my two bits worth, I'm not sure the picture Dshaver shared is much help, because it's not easy to see what's connected to where. Besides, this is a picture of a two-battery setup, which may be confusing if your application is only a single battery, as many if not most were. I think the...

Last year I bought an ADCO Tyvek cover for my Hi-Lo, but it turned out to be a little small for my 1999 22' Classic. I'll sell it for $150 plus shipping. As you can see, it barely squeezed on, and not all the way. Used only over one winter, no damage. These things are getting hard to find...

We bought our 9922 Hi-Lo Classic 8 years ago. It came via the Portland area from Pismo Beach, California, to our home in Pocatello, Idaho. Along with a lot of snappy spider webs and one of the biggest black widow spiders I've ever seen. At least that was underneath rather than inside the...

Bill, I would guess that window is a pretty standard size that you could find at a trailer supply place or online like at etrailer. Just get all your measurements before you go looking.

Jed, I had the same problem as Jack, and my 1999 Classic still has the original equipment stereo. I just pull one end of the fuse for the stereo out to where it's disconnected, and get no current draw. I saw Jack's suggestion of the toggle switch one time before and intended to do the same...

If it won't reset there is probably a short or other overload somewhere that needs to be fixed. Alternatively, if you aren't used to resetting breakers, remember you have to push them all the way off before resetting. When they trip, the handle does not go all the way off, which you need to do...

Hi guys; The more I read about other people's luck with used Hi-Lo's (I guess they are all used now) the luckier I feel about my purchase. I did own a small motor home for about 10 years a while back, so I wasn't totally a newby about RV's. But I certainly didn't know anything about the Hi-Lo...

Jack, I've had the pictures since 2015. With your prodding, I finally got the modification description posted!

On another forum, a guy said he got rid of McKesh mirrors because the mount smashed down the door window gaskets on his 2008 generation Toyota 4Runner. By adding a little strip of wood to each mount, I came up with a perfectly good solution. I've used the excellent McKesh mirrors for several...

Richard, I use a 4.0 liter 2008 4Runner to pull my 1999 22 foot Classic. I had to install a frame-mounted hitch on the 4Runner to get 5500 lb capacity, and I don't think I could haul anything bigger. I note that a couple of years after my Hi-Lo was built, they changed from steel to aluminum...

Oh, I also meant to comment on Andersen hitches. I have one and am extremely satisfied with it. Lighter weight than a lot of WD hitches, and clean, easy to adjust. I won't buy any other kind in future. And, I have no connection to the Andersen company, even though they are located just an...

Rough ride Another reason for a rough ride could be tire pressure. If you have too high pressure in tires, they don't flex much, if any. Kind of like having just hard rubber or steel tires, instead of ones with some air cushioning. You can imagine what that would be like with your car...

Thanks, Jack. This inspired me to actually look up Dexter Axles and found in their Q & A where they don't recommend jacking on any part of the suspension. Seems they take the position that no place available on the axles, etc., is designed to hold that much weight. They say to always put the...

Question for Jack; Hi, I note you use a floor jack to raise your trailer. Somewhere I saw a caution not to place a jack under an axle, as it could end up bent. Where do you put your floor jack? Maybe the caution was just not to put the jack under the center of an axle, as that could put the...

Hi Jed; My A/C was leaking through the filters to the inside of the trailer. In my case, I bought a new gasket for the A/C opening thru the roof, but before I tried to get someone to help install it I noticed a crack in the shroud on top. The rain was coming in thru that. Just one other...

Hi Oneiros; Welcome to the forum. When I got our 22 ft 1999 Hi-Lo several years ago, the tires had lots of tread but were cracking all around in the tread grooves. After a lot of research, I settled on Maxxis 8008 tires, load range E, for replacements. I ordered them and when they arrived...

Looking at those NADA prices, I see there are often only differences of two or three hundred dollars between the same or similar models manufactured 10 years apart. This brings to mind that condition is often much more important than age (within reason). For example, a trailer that has even...

In my 1999 22' Classic, it's where USAGI said--between the couch and the panel at the side of the fridge, to be exact. The breakers and converter are behind a little removable wood panel, the bottom of which contacts the carpet. If I remember correctly, it's fastened by a bit or two of velcro...

Alabama has hills like that? No kidding, the Alabama pics look more like Arizona to me. But then my experience in Alabama is limited ... Roger

Note that the "city water" connection also contains a check valve, so that when using the on-board tank and pump, you don't pump water OUT of that connection . . .

Hi; Not on a 5th wheel. But on my 22 ft. trailer, the previous owner had fastened a receiver hitch box on the square rear bumper with U-bolts. This was for mounting a bumper type bike carrier, not for pulling another trailer or anything heavy like that. I mounted our bike carrier on it to be...

In our 1999 22 footer, that front couch does leave quite a depression or crack where the cushions come together. Eventually we got about a two inch thick foam pad to roll out on it and it was a good deal better, though not quite what I would like. Thought about cutting a triangular long piece...
