Thanks Jack For sharing the photos. I love the west and south west, but it’s a long drive/tow from South Carolina. My daughter and I flew to cali in early May so I could let her see the super waterfalls after a record snow fall season in the Sierra. Mid week in the park was fine, I love staying...

Door still available? I could use that upper door, let me know if you still have it, I am driving through Maryland today Thanks, Tom Tomblandy@comcast.net

Fix or repair upper door I just found that the upper door on my 2203T is falling apart. The wood across the lower section is rotted. Anyone have hints how that door is built, is there a wood frame around the perimeter with foam core below interior/exterior cladding? Thanks Tom

Hydraulic pump compression fittings Well, this is a picture of the compression fitting parts where the hydraulic hose attaches to the pump in my 2203t. The parts need a quick cleanup before being reinstalled.

Thanks Jack. I had a problem with the compression fitting on the pump not holding the plastic hydraulic hose again and have to remove the black nut and check things out. Check the o ring, metal clip washer, and thick black washer. Have you ever taken those off and on?

Hydraulic pump fluid, Just wondering if I should be adding dexron II or is there something newer we should be using ? Thanks, Tom

Also, where might I find a new replacement for the plastic nut and o ring parts?

Thanks Jack. It is probably the return line as you suggest. I believe my problem could be the black plastic compression nut, that is my leak point as I push the up button. I twisted it off finding a small o ring and a metal washer that was dimpled or bent in one one edge. Reattached the plastic...

Hydraulics struggled this morning, would not rise all the way and I found fluid shooting out of this fitting. Outside temp went to 23 F last night, outdoor temp was just under 40 when this happened. Was it just too cold? Probably not, my limited knowledge tells me that fluid should not easily...

more pictures I finally got back to my 2203T and have better pictures showing the crack and missing ABS piece. Its is still dry in the barn and we want to make it water tight for fall camping. Any fresh ideas now that there is a missing piece to fill? Thanks, Tom

I never knew Hi Lo made a treadrop! Looks comfortable to me, thanks for sharing. Tom

Matt, I have a similar model, 2203T. My unit has original detectors also. Never tested them, should think about replacing mine as well. Did you try JandR in Ohio? I’m thinking it’s probably safer to go with newer technology, even if the unit is a different size. Also, I was able to get control...

Thanks Jack and midmo. Guessing I’ll drill again and either tape with eternabond or try a two part epoxy for a smoother finish. The end caps are made of ABS plastic? Tom

I'm looking for ideas to seal cracks on the end cap. The attached picture shows the area when I first purchased the trailer, that long crack was sealed with Masterweld and stabilized with screws last year when we resealed the roof and replaced the broken drain spouts. That area recently...

Mike, fantastic renovation! The addition of drawers makes it much easier to access stored items. Just wondering did you remove the cabinets and reinstall or put the new glue down vinyl over the original? Looking forward to seeing any exterior projects you have done. Thanks for sharing. Tom 2203T

Dee, just wondering why you prefer a single axle. We have a 2203T with two axles. I like 4 tires over just two. With 4 wheels I could limp to a safe place to change a flat. And the second wheel makes it easier to change a wheel, just roll the good tire up on blocks and the other (problem) wheel...

Les, I have a 2015 Silverado crew cab Z71. How would I know if it has a variable voltage alternator? Also, what materials did you use for the custom battery box? That’s a great idea. Tom

Seeing those pictures and Jack reviewing his valuable knowledge reminds me to have a good look at my circuit breakers and converter again. I did find one of those gray blocks with bolt posts in the storage drawer when I purchased the 2203T in 2019. I’ll see the trailer in March and let you know...

I’m interested in some parts from the lower half. Battery tray, lift drive unit, propane tank cover. Are they in good shape?

Happy 2021 everyone I missed the opportunity to wish everyone here a Merry Christmas, but here now to say Happy New Year to all fellow Hi Lo forum members. Tom with 2203 in Southern Nj and central South Carolina

Attached is a picture of the wood rot at the rear wall, passenger side of my 2203. I’ve read I may find wires running to rear signal lights in that wood. Thanks for all the input from fellow forum members! I’ve read more now and also have the issue of lift cables cutting through finish trim at...

I’m not real good at managing photos on the forum. If you want, I can email my pictures. If we go that route, we should exchange email addresses in private messages, it’s more secure. Tom

I did see one picture, I haven’t looked closely at the outside of mine, just inside views of rotten wood on the rear end, worst at passenger side. I have a post with pictures from back in October, I’ll find a link to that. I am near Columbia SC for a while, hi lo is in a barn in central PA for...

Roland, my my 2203 (mfg 2003) has the same problem, how did you do with the wood top rail repair process? Thanks, Tom
