Jed: It could be due to a plugged drain off the drain pan, or your Hi-Lo being off-level. Check the level. If not that, send somebody up on the roof, have them remove the a/c shroud and look at the drain off the drain pan. On my 2008, the drain isn't a tube, but a small depressed area coming...

Sending you a PM.

You can do it!! Blue painters tape and the appropriate solvent will make up for lousy technique!!! I'm proof!!

Yes, I think that front clip does the bulk of the work, as it seems to wear out first. The only caution I have is to just be sure the clips are engaged as tightly as possible. I find the tendency to just depress the plastic clip and assume it's tight. But, I've learned that the clip will...

Welcome to the group. Have you tried the "Search" function (it's in the tan colored bar in the top half of the screen). Here's one of the posts that popped up when I entered "posting photos" in the search box. https://www.hilotrailerforum.com/f10/picture-7539/ Good luck and let us know...

If you've got all the numbers, you can get a new sticker made by the guys at J & R in Mt. Vernon, OH. Or, that's where I got mine about 4 years ago. Welcome to the group!

Ouch, I know you hated that!! But, so lucky that the door didn't fly off! I had the same issue on mine, and bought a new set of latches from J & R (same kind that was on there) and replaced them. It was the front latch on mine that had worn down the little gripper teeth to the point that it...

Mike: The frame is aluminum, but there's a wooden rail at the bottom of the frame (and I'm guessing at the top and sides of the aluminum frame for screw attachment of the corner trim and roof trim). And there's 'wood' i.e. luan, attached to the aluminum frame, under the filon skin. I'm on the...

Mike: That's the same model that I have, and unfortunately, the same problem. Not sure if your cause is the same, but I'm betting so. Check the trim at the bottom of the filon on the top half. The factory used trim that just barely, I mean just barely, covered the filon. Over time, the...

If you're speaking about the tip-out.........This probably means that your Hi-Lo top (not the tip-out) is out of adjustment. If you're lucky, it's just a cable adjustment to provide the fix. If you're not so lucky, the top half is out of adjustment because you've had water damage in the wall...

For Sale, our Hi-Lo 2808C , 2008 model year, 28 ft Classic You know the Classics....loaded with everything from electric hitch jack to outdoor shower, oak cabinets, queen bed, large capacity everything and tip-out (Expand-A-Room) with jack knife sofa. Here's a link to the 2008 Hi-Lo...

Inspection JPG: Just an idea for you, may be worth exactly what it costs you... I wonder if it might work if you hire a mobile RV repair shop to do an inspection on your behalf? They're in and around RVs all day, surely they could spend an hour and be able to give you a good assessment...

The search function here isn't going to win a 5 star rating, but with an easy trick here's what I found. Not a hi-lo but a modified camper with linear actuators. http://www.hilotrailerforum.com/f76/hello-hi-lo-folks-6611/

We have a 2808 with tip out and the seal around the tip out is better than the seal between the top and bottom halves. We've weathered a few nights in the teens and stayed warm. Of course, the heater was running quite regularly!!

The learning curve can be pretty steep, and many decisions can impact the safety of you and your family. Escapees, an organization that caters to full-time RV'ers (but welcomes weekenders like myself) puts on a 3 day "RV Bootcamp" that you might find very informative. They have these bootcamps...

Absolutely, Bob, thanks for catching that! jim

Call J & R in Mt. Vernon, OH. 740 392.1600. The J in J and R is Jim Laher. In addition to being part of J and R, he owns a sign/decal company and can print about anything, including decals for RV exteriors. He can even duplicate a favorite scene from a photograph.

Congratulations, some previous owner did an upgrade and you're the beneficiary! The 15" rims give you a bit more ground clearance and a lot more variety in tire selection (the ability to select higher load tires being). I borrowed a friend's little trailer once that had 12" tires on it...

Never had that problem, but as we say in farm country, "Duct tape and baling wire will fix about anything!" But, seriously, I'd probably throw a snug bungee cord around the steps. I thought I'd hit some rough patches on interstates under construction, but you beat me in that category!! Good...

Think I found it....not much info, but pics of the finished product. That was the one I remember. Not sure if the OP is still here, don't remember seeing him lately. http://www.hilotrailerforum.com/f17/hi-lo-trailer-expedition-rv-2344/

Welcome to the group. I don't think anyone will throw stones at ya! Innovation is OK here. Someone else has done this, and I think it was 3-4 years ago. There were some various postings on his project. Give the search a whirl here. I'll also see if I can find it. Can't recall exactly what...

Jay82: Welcome to the group, hope your Hi Lo brings years of fun! The lowering mechanism works by a solenoid opening a valve which releases hydraulic fluid. Could your solenoid be bad? The solenoid is located, at least in mine, next to the hydraulic pump. Hope that's the problem, it'll be...

Welcome to the group. It sounds like your safety bar is engaged, preventing the top from lowering. First, always raise and lower that RV when it's level. To do otherwise will risk damage. Second, to lower, raise it back up slightly this time. There is (or should be) a cable near the...

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your Hi-Lo. Lots of help available here, so you'll get the support you need. Start by checking out the home page of this forum. There's a good collection of reference materials that will be useful. Look on the home page for the big red bars running...
