    Resource a new hydraulic cylinder

    my mechanical opinion- just replacing the seal is apparently, not what was needed. it doesn't take much of a nick to kill a hydraulic seal. the cylinder should have been rebuilt which would have included honing, polishing and checking for straightness, parallel and wear; if this was actually...

    Another Fridge question

    i would guess most people would not operate the fridge while the top is down and Hilo probable had that thought too, but as jack said, fan should only operate at temp. so maybe yours is straight wired OR i may remember someone mentioning a fan off on switch

    Westbound

    yes oh yes check date codes even on new looking tires, the spare on my 99 was original also and because of it's cover, it still had the blue and pink lines on the treads. i will add also to your helpful warning; just b/c tires have deep tread, we still need to check for cracks, was starting back...

    68 Hi-Lo raises about 85% after one side dropped down with it in up position

    my guess is - when you bumped it, probable hard. i think it jumped off all 4 pullies and that, in my opinion, would explain the 85% raising height. the cables seem or present longer b/c they are traveling a longer distance. again , my guess/opinion, AND from reading this forum i gather jack...

    traveling

    my opinion - probable not a problem till an avoidance or emergency type swerve and the water sloshing back and forth will push the swing of the trailer even more and make it more uncontrollable and yes i have a bit of experience with a big cooler in a trunk and riding with a reckless driver. -...

    Black water vent tube

    the vent tube, whether it be pvc or abs, from top of tank to top of hilo roof CAN NOT be glued air tight because it has to move up and down, period - i did not use hard pipe - i used flexible blue swimming pool filter drain pipe with a sewn cloth cover with elastic on each end for aesthetics

    Door flexing

    my 99 does the same thing, at first i would put a screw jack under the frame directly in line with that side of the door but later learned to leave the stabilizer a bit loose on that corner - touching the ground but no pressure and haven't had the problem since ; kirby

    Missing stink pipe toilet vent

    my 99 came with an elastic cloth plastic lined flex hose. Once while camping I had to use one of wifey’s hair scrunchies to reattach it up top, which was forgotten till the elastic degraded and I found the hose lying while winterizing. So I went along the task of finding a replacement for at...

I have those beeps when the battery is dying. found this the hard way. currently am using a new smart charger and disconnecting the battery when not camping. I have not tested my converter / inverter yet b/c of other projects being put in front of our hilo
