Truck campers also need their jacks to work at the same speed for exactly the same reason. Thousands of truck campers have motorized actuators/legs that do not sync at all, is up to the user to manually do that, they somehow work. TC owners are not necessarily more able to do this than a HiLo...

Yes, hippiJAck way too expensive for what you are doing, but for the guy that cannot imagine being able to manually control 4 motors, that run at about the same speed anyway, Hippijack is his alternative. I try please everyone. To use actuators you are going to push the roof up. Alaskan...

You use a HappiJack controller.

The roof will not support hanging from the tips of the actuators, but just make it tie into the lower part of the frame (for the top half). Some framework that starts where the cables attach, goes up to the ceiling and attaches to the tip top of the actuator. I would do the actuators if you...

I am an expert. Sounds like you need help. If and when the batteries are charged then the controller will not put out much voltage. It might put out zero. When batteries are depleted then the controller will put out its full capacity. However, it should not put out 5 volts. Are you sure...

I have new in the bag tail light red lens. I think around 2004'ish. I bought for mine and bought one extra. Sold camper years ago. This was the las two they had, so I bought this to have on hand. For sale. upc code 7 8319200296 9

Yea, for me that was long ago. The axle had been welded on crooked. It was torsion axle. I remedied it by selling the whole thing.

The roof could just be covered with EDPM rubber material, I would go that route. I have only seen fiberglass panels on the siding, not aluminum. Salvage the fiberglass as it will not have been damaged by water. You will be scraping off glued ply-wood pieces from it though. I left the outer...

My first thought while reading a few sentences in is, and I hate to say it, is to run. Just stop. I have done repairs, major repairs on one, ceiling and walls water damage. It is a lot of work and not really worth it unless you have nothing but time. Nothing like working on a house. House...

O I see you said "hand pump".. I have a metal tank out of a 1971 camper that was a pressurized one. All the fittings were welded threads in the tank, so the regular water tank fitting just screw into it the same as do a plastic water tank. To replace you may or may not can re-use the existing...

The system drain valves should be directly above where the water pipe spills out through the floor, or just within inches. The valve usually located at the lowest point, so there will not be a pipe run after the valve, it will exit in the shortest distance possible. The lowest poit of course...

I sold my HILO but I have this rear red corner tail light. part #34-86-711 Bargman I had 1997 model, but it should work on multiple years, Yours will have a part number on it but I am not sure it will match the outer bag #. $40 shipped to lower 48. Use paypal is fine.Send as "gift" or add...

So, what is it you are looking for? perfection? these will all be used unless you get one off the dealer lot brand new, those are small ones. Used campers will have issues. The ones that are redone, repaired and brought up to perfection are by the people who just bought it and fixed it for...

The VHB tape is a means to deliver a chemical glue to bond the materials together, it is different than just really sticky glue. I have not ever tried to remove VHB tape. I assume a heat gun will do the trick. I have an old friend who was in the Navy, not that they had this back then, but he...

Probably not in reality. There will also be suction created by the panel helping it stick. Roof wind is turbulent so may not even be pushing at the leading edge of the panel, wee as it is. The panel would have a very small profile into the wind so the sealant would be more than enough. There...

You're welcome. I recently saw someone use the dicor Lap sealant to hold down a flexible panel. He just ran a bead along the edge. I assume it held. The Lap sealant is easy to remove so would be easier to un-do than the tapes.

Hindsight: I think the long aluminum angle iron taped on front to back only with VHB and using self-tapping screws to hold the solar frames in is the best. It is not really necessary to have the angle under the panel (does look cleaner), I think it is fine either way, and when you screw the...

tomsher, this is crazyness! The pic in your link shows little. Where exactly does the big "vent" tube go? I can see the hot water heater is beside it, so I assume the tube is above the floor. You say the tube is on the side, so your photo is looking down from above? The wall to the right in...

Did u fix this? Yes, you have a valve to fill the tank from city water pressure and then turn valve to let pump pressurize the system when not hooked up. Running the pump with valve open (to fill tank) will just circulate water from tank through pipes and then back to tank - you may get a...

You found me! There are pics of the re-build. If you haven't seen them I would wait until the new wears off. ->Not pretty, but good as new structurally.

However, check with a multi-meter if the HILO's charger is putting out enough voltage. 12 volts is too low. Charger should be 13.6 to 14.1 or higher. A 12 volt charge will not ever charge 100%. You 12v lights should always brighten when you switch from battery (13.6 new) to shoreline (14)...
