I am selling our 1999 Towlite 21TL. After two long vacation trips, we decided to upsize. I am asking $5500. Everything works perfectly. Even on a recent 10-day 95 degree trip, the A/C kept us cool and the fridge even made ice cubes! Here are improvements I made in the Spring of 2021: All new...

The AC/Gas/12v selector switch plastic knob on my Dometic RM2453 refrigerator just broke off in my 1999 22TL. Does anyone have one that I could buy, like from an old fridge that no longer works? I have tried all the internet parts sources and the plastic knobs are all on back order. It seems...

Bottom Door Latch My trailer is away at my storage location so I don't have a photo but I surface mounted the slide bolt on the top edge of the lower door. Here is a link to the bolt I used...

Bottom Door Latch I added a latch to the top edge of my 1999 Towlite 22TL bottom door. I Had to drill a hole in the door frame to allow the latch bar to slide into it but by selecting a flat style bar latch, there were no clearance issues with the upper half of the door. By installing on the...

Angel; what kind of paint did you use to re-paint the outside? What advice/lessons learned do you have for someone thinking about doing it?

furnace question It just had one 15# tank on it when I bought it. I plan on putting another 15# tank on also because they are easy to find "swap outs" at places like Walmart, etc. I just wanted to get some variety of opinions from the forum about the efficiency of the furnace and your...

I recently bought a 1999 21' Towlight and I will be taking it to Yellowstone this July. I am wondering if the furnace will be sufficient for the night time temperatures that average in the upper 40's? Can you estimate how much propane it uses or how long it would last on a 15lb tank? Thanks.

Securing top Rail The way I secured the wood to the steel frame was to drill through the steel frame from the outside and then use 2.5" self-tapping screws into the new wood rail every 6". The screw heads look like the other trim screws so it doesn't matter. My flashing didn't come up over the...

I am happy to report that I have fixed the problem. I had a piece of 3/16" plate steel cut in a "U" shape. I let the top down a couple of inches on the 4 pieces of 2x6 like I had planned and it flexed the frame just a little so that the door closed properly. I then put the "U" shape steel upside...

re: door flexing Thanks for the ideas guys. Today I cut 4 equal length 2x6 boards slightly less than the full length of the full up length and let the top down on them. I then checked and the door closed properly (with the same flex it has when in the lowered position). So I am able to get...

I recently bought a 1999 Towlite and have a problem with the door not closing when the top is up but closes fine when the top is down. I measured the width of the opening in both the up and down positions and it is 1/2' narrower when in the top is raised. I am assuming the frame is flexing and...

Lower Side Rail Repair Roland J, Here are the answers to your questions from over the weekend; On my 1999 Towlite, the frame is 1" square steel with a 2" x 3" wooden frame rail attached to it. The factory one was 2 pieces of 1" plywood glued together which had rotted out. I replaced them with...

Replacing wooden lower rail jms, You can replace the lower wooden rail without taking the top off the trailer. I am in the process of replacing them in my 1999 21' Towlite and have the curbside long 16' one done already. Just support the top on all 4 corners with wooden blocks down to the frame...

VIN location I just located mine on a 1999 Towlite on a label located on the curbside front corner of the body. It is a stick-on label that is so faded it is hardly legible. I intend to get the numbers stamped into the tongue for permanence. It seems there was no standard for location or type...

Parts wanted If you decide to part this out, I am looking for the wall brackets that that the drop down bunk clips into when it is in the up position. Contact me at fredetl@ksu.edu.

Hey, GK, I watched your 1$ HiLo rebuild video and was very impressed with the jig you made to push the paneling up to the ceiling and hold it there while the glue dried. I am going to need to do the same so I would like to know the dimensions of what you built and in particular, what thickness...

Trailer Still Available? Doug, Is the trailer still available? If it is, perhaps you could give me a call at 785-564-1345 to discuss the amount of damage. I live in Kansas so I would need to be able to dismantle enough of the damaged panels to lower it for towing that far. I look forward to...
