More about ottoman providing support for small tilt out couch to make a full size bed I made one modification to the ottoman--I did not use the 3-inch or so tall legs that came with it--and instead found some nylon pads that screwed into the same holes--and the height came out perfect for the...

I will post photos shortly, but I came up with a simple solution that is working quite well. I bought online a long ottomon just shorter in length than the width of the couch, in the same fake leather fabric (or mighty close to it) as the couch that is in the tilt out. When the ottomon is tucked...

Will check it out. Thanks!

Looking forward to your report. I lifted my 1989 FunLite 19 footer for Baja travels and it worked great. Just bought a 2511H this year and I’d like to do a lift on it for future Baja traveling. Please post links on who sells the kits! Jim in San Diego, CA

Very helpful tip. Makes sense. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions.

One more question for you re your 2510H. My awning on my new for me 2511H is cracked and deteriorating on the outer edge. Did you replace your awning and if so what was your solution and source? I’m wondering if only the outer edge is bad if a good canvas shop could sew/add an edge cover, or...

So, what did you end up doing to get the couch to open up and support a 72 inch air mattress? My couch in my new 2511H only folds out once to the 57 inch length like you reported. Worse case, I will build a support or get a coffee table or stools...

I just bought and am getting set up a HiLo 2511H with tip out. I am not sure I have figured out yet how to unfold the little 54 inch wide couch out more than one fold out... is there a hidden support to fold it out once more to extend a full 72 inches to support a full size air mattress? Will...

I am thinking that a coffee table, or a couple of foot stools, that will do double duty as the air mattress foot support, and get a new air mattress on Amazon. Will share photos when I get this project completed. Still thinking it through. Thanks!

I am getting my “new for me” HiLo 2511H with tilt out set up. When we fold out the hide a bed, it provides support for only a kid-sized air mattress. If we were to put a full size/queen size air mattress on the folded out couch, about 2.5 feet would not be supported. What are we missing? Is...

I got complete sets of clips and straps from Midget RV Trailers & Supply (Josh Warner) at https://hilotrailerparts.webs.com/

Great advice. Will follow the recommendation when I get the new straps and clips.

Photos of the HiLo 2511H on arrival and my FunLite Here is my first attempt at posting photos. The first photo is of the HiLo 2511H and the other photo is of my 19 foot FunLite at the duck club in the old hay barn— where we will soon park the new trailer.

Thanks! Looking forward to new adventures with the HiLo 2511H. When it is cleaned and sparkling, I will post some photos (as soon as I figure out how). Right now, just have photo with the travel dirt still on it!

Yes, looks like it was the forward strap/clip that broke. That clip was gone when the kids made it home. The aft strap held enough to keep the cover from swinging open en route and then was used with the baling wire strapped across the bottom of the cover to hold itbin place from Vegas to El...

I posted a similar message on the Mod Forum, but thought I might get other input by posting here as well as I am embarking on a new adventure with my second HiLo after a few decades. I just purchased, new for me, a HiLo 2511H (Model Year 2011- so it must be among the last HiLos ever...

Tilt out strap clamps I just purchased, new for me, a HiLo 2511H (Model Year 2011- so must be among the last HiLos ever manufactured). It replaces my 1989 HiLo HiLo Funlite that I have had for more than 25 years. My daughter and her boyfriend were kind enough to drive it to me from the RV...

I need to replace the bulb seal in my 1986 Funlite 19. This would be perfect. Just let me know what you'd like for the seal. I believe the newer seal is a different style (not vinyl wrapped foam). If the price is right, I will forgo buying the newer seal and go with the old style you have.

Photos? Looking for 22 footer HiLo to replace my 19 foot HiLo FunLite.

Pool hose — great idea. Great idea to use a section of pool vacuum hose. Will give that a try.

SoCal HiLo Repair for 1989 Funlite 19 I have an 1989/90 19 foot Funlite HiLo that has deteriorated seal between top and bottom. Need to buy the supplies to replace it and including for the entry door/screen. And I need to be able to tell our trailer repair shop in El Centro, CA (Rene) how to do it!
