A little bummed this morning. My wife and I drove from MI to FL and stopped to look at an '06, 2406T yesterday. The exterior was like new, new tires, the painted lower portion looked good, even the decals looked new; and it all looked great until we stepped inside and I could detect a faint...

Thanks Rueben-J

My meager experience with the lack of ceiling picture seems to indicate lots of water damage but, that would show on inspection. So, if it is close, take a look. CL ads- yes, lots of bad ones out there. I'm looking for a tow vehicle and you'd be surprised by the comments and pics I've seen...

In the early 70's I bought a used F250 to haul a 10' truck camper and it did well. Of course, it had the right gear ratio, trans-cooler and split rims. I remember during the research stage of that purchase, reading brochures from the auto companies and a great number of the 1/2 ton trucks were...

Dee;" Hey, I just noticed; we are the same age!! " Ya",but I feel older in this cold, windy MI weather! After Valentines lunch yesterday my bride and I (48yrs.) parked at the beach to watch the wind/waves and snow on Lk.MI. We needed the Jeep heater at full blast to keep warm with the wind...

Seems all I see in trucks is auto transmissions and agreed, they are easier to use but "sticks" usually get better mileage on vehicle identically equipped. Is the answer, just convenience? I'm looking at a Hi Lo that has a TW of 360# dry, trailer weight of 3600# dry and max tow weight of...

Not certain but I've seen broken torsion bars cause this.-Jerry

size I considered the Trail Manor but did not like the roof seal system. I'm moving to the towing forum for some more questions. Thanks-J

size? No, not tied to the Hi Lo and I only have a deposit on it so, if I do not want it after seeing it, I get my money back. My major attraction is the low profile. I honestly, at 68 yrs. do not see myself wanting anything bigger than the 22's I've seen, but you never know. We do not like...

Size Update; The Buick will not do the job and the era of("big vehicle, big tow capacity") is long gone. The Buick Enclave w/o the trailer package is rated for only 2K# and with the package is rated for 4500#. The package includes a "trailer tow" switch to change the shift points while...

size? OK, per the great info here, I'm thinking I will head to the dealer. My manual says 2K# w/o the trailer package, 4500# with. Despite the hitch, I've determined I do not have the T-package with "trailer tow mode", that changes the shift points on the tranny. My 2006 Jeep Liberty manual...

size? OK, so I have a deposit on a 22' and we have agreed on cost based on the conditions as they have been described. The trailer is 1400 miles away and I've been assured the description is accurate and they are a well established, nationally known company; but I'm still uneasy as I should be...

size OK, so we woke early Fri. and drove to the Greater Chicago area to buy and retrieve our new home on wheels. The back of the jeep was loaded with warm clothes and several sheets of thick cardboard so I could lay on the ground and inspect the underbody. (Not required in certain parts of La...

Run One word; Run! If the upper will not lower, he is asking way too much for a unit you have to work on just to bring home and I would not tow it that way. Look here for another and prices or check Craigslist and other on line sites.-Jerry

size? Today I picked the brain of the local U-Haul owner and he pretty much agreed; 8K# WDH was excessive. He said in the perfect day; no wind/little traffic and dry roads and wired brakes, my vehicle would be OK w/o the WDH but I think I want a WDH anyway, especially with this vehicle. So...

size? The trailer was weighed today by the dealer @3400#; much more than I suspected so maybe it is a 25' as it measures from ball to bumper. My hitch is a class 3 as I ordered it and installed it. I checked the order I placed to verify this and it is 500#/5000#. So, we are driving to see it...

hitch Thanks Wrascal- I calculate as you, about 4K# of Gross trailer weight if this is indeed what I think it is. The dealer will weigh it for me prior to me driving over to look at it so I know for certain. I figure a tongue weight of 400# plus maybe 200# behind the axle which includes...

size OK, the box measures about 15 1/2' and the upper measures 18 1/2'. I'm guess a 19' or 20'? Overall bumper to hitch is about 25'. Something in the papers inside says it weighs <3K# (2947#?). Tow vehicle, 2006 Liberty is rated at 5K# for towing. Any concerns or things to watch for...

Great outdoors? I need a blast furnace to cook outdoors here at this time of year. Mi. is a great place to be from in the winter. Thanks guys. I'll ask the wife if I can keep an eye open for one with a "maiden". If wife is feeling generous afterward, I will still have one open for looking...

Shrinkage; good selling point for my wife Wrascal. I can tell her she will have more cooking space when we get to the Gulf? Wait, I do all the cooking when vacationing........... Think I will approach this from another angle. :) Thanks for the reply.-J :)

I ran across a 1985 Fun Chaser listed as a 25 but it does not look that size. The owner says the tag says 25 but does not appear to be that box size either. If I measure the box, will I get a length close to the actual model such as a 22 should be about 22" long excluding tongue? The mod.# on...

1995 Hi Lo Hi- do you have any pictures? Has the trailer been smoked in? What city are located in or near? Where in the shower is the leak? What is the weight? Does it have electric brakes? Does it come with a hitch? What model? Thanks-Jerry cware48420@gmail.com

I do not own a Hi-Lo.........yet................. But, has anyone mounted a Hi-Lo on a goose neck trailer and 5th wheel style hitch? I'm wondering as I like to fish and towing a camp trailer pretty well limits you to a boat small enough to carry on top of the trailer. So; 1. Opinions/thoughts...

Tip Out? What is that? A slide out?-Thanks-J

I looked at a 2004, 19' this past weekend and it is OK on the outside but the roof has leaked and inside, the top is ruined. Inside it smelled moldy so I assume I'd need to completely replace the top, (frame and all) I'd get rid of the mold smell. I'm quite capable of removing and...
