We tow with a Chrysler Aspen 4.7L. Our Tow-Lite is a 2403 and tows wonderfully. Here in Florida the roads are flat to moderate incline. Our usual MPG is 18 - 20 Hwy. She is a dream to tow.

We still have the original plastic straps and latches. I was more concerned with security as anyone could open the door. I put a hasp type latch on one side and use a keyed lock so only I could open Tip-Out door. I suppose a latch could be used on the opposite side to secure that side.

Welcome to this Forum. You will find a lot of good info here. Our HI-LO's tow like a dream and set-up fast, but they do require maintenance. So get her up and working and you will be happy.

Lift system simple. Pump moves Ram that moves cables that lift top. As long as there is enough fluid ( automatic transmission fluid ) system works.

You sure have a wonderful project to complete. Keep the photos coming. It great to keep these old trailers on the road.

The hinged portion of our trailer gave me enough room to access pump with a short handle. Eventually it was high enough for me to lift cover to have longer strokes I too have altered the battery so I can charge batteries with top down.

We have a Towlite 2403, our manual lift pump is in front of the battery. When our battery died I used the pump, 120 strokes to lift top. The higher you go, the more access to battery and longer the strokes. Not fun but it works.

Welcome to the HI-Lo Group. We have owned our 2403 HI-LO Tow Lite since new in 2003. She has gone up & down without a problem. So get yours fixed and enjoy your HI-LO.

Sounds like you are on the right track. Good luck with the rest of the project. I have some mold on my outside caulking to remove. Will try to stay in the shade.
Great Job!
You folks did an awesome job on your tip-out couch. Glad to see what can be done. Thanks for the photo. John

Welcome folks. Yep folks are curious about Hi-Los and are in awe of raising and lowering them. We just smile a lot as we cruise down the road. Enjoy!

Our faithful 1999 Tahoe is gone. We now have a 2007 Aspen to motor our 2403 Tow-Lite down the road. It lacks the HP of the Tahoe, so some adjusting is needed to get going. So far it has worked very well. We sure look good going down the road.
