Thanks! I didn’t see this in time and tried both ways. With the seal the way I illustrated (first picture attached), I couldn’t get the seal to sit flat enough to put the thin “wood” trim back on neatly, there was too much of a hump from the seal. It was wavy and bowed and didn’t look right. So...

I purchased the 100-ft roll and I’m getting the wood trim removed - mine is stapled. Is this the correct orientation you’ve used? -Nick

Thank you, Jack! :)

Do we have any long-term info on LiFePO4 batteries being used in our trailers with the demands of the hydraulic lift system? After installing my Renogy ammeter, I was seeing a max of about 96A of current to lift the top. Would this rush of current cause any issues to a LiFePO4 battery or its...

I have ordered the glass online from OneDayGlass.com. I have used them before for a tempered refrigerator shelf that had cracked in transit and was super happy. Their online tool is fantastic and takes into account almost every possible situation, including the basic curved edges I have. $65...

Thanks! I know the windows will be coming out at some point, but I also know when that happens I’ll be doing some more extensive work. For now, I removed the cracked pane and made a template. The glass measure 20-9/16” tall, 10-9/16” wide, and is a thickness of 1/8”. The corners have a 2-1/2”...

Thanks Jack. I figured it might help out a new owner like myself. I think I left the switch on after lowering the top and remembering I had left a light on over the dinette. I flipped the switch to check, and crawled in to turn it off. I think that’s when I left it on. I’ll need to find out if...

I’ve been doing lots of work on the camper lately, the last time I was in it I had the furnace on. It came up to temp and turned off. It didn’t dawn on me it was still on. Temps warmed up and I cut the grass, dropped the roof down, and pulled the camper forward to mow the grass that was under...

Thanks, Jack! I got the inspiration looking at a later model unit with its simple brown fabric on the bath dividers. It looked like it would never go out of style. The fabric was $150 for 10 yards and I’ll have plenty to do everything I need with quite a bit to spare. Plus $75 in tools and...

I wanted to get rid of the old floral scheme in my 2001 and go with something a bit more timeless and simple. I also wanted some softer fabric as well. I walked around Joann Fabric and picked up 10 yards of Olive Denim. It’s a beautiful outdoorsy green and is very soft and wears well. I’ve only...

Thank you! Each day is another little project. I finally opened the awning today, got a handle of how it works and what positions to put it in, power washed and scrubbed both sides of the fabric and recorded the part numbers on the awning and the fabric. Also popped the cap off the Dometic AC...

I said I'd update here and I'm happy to say I'm a Hi Lo owner! We got all the paperwork together and I was able to register and title the camper with no issues early last week. A great I was even able to get it in the backyard as planned without a dolly. Took 15 minutes but now that I know...

Thanks Jack. Finished it all up today. I ran out and grabbed new battery cables as well. It looks like the wiring from the house side of the battery disconnect that's mounted to the side of the battery box (not sure if this is aftermarket or original) was 2AWG, but the battery cable from the...

I'm in the process of installing a Renogy 500A Battery Monitor in my 2201TL. The monitor arrived today and I've planned out a spot to place it. The monitor screen is about 4" x 2.5", and I'm planning on installing it near the existing Micro Monitor and Telephone/Cable plate on the side of the...

As a new owner of a Hi-Lo, I assumed I was supposed to lower the roof back onto the safety bar, much like when lifting a vehicle on a 2-post hydraulic lift. I realized though, that the upper belt molding around the lower half is much too high to make contact with the top half seal when the roof...

I agree! One of my favorite parts of camping is waking up, making coffee, getting a fire lit, and cooking up a big camp breakfast. Eggs, bacon, hash browns, pancakes and muffins. I couldn't ever imagine cooking any of that inside a camper. Besides, I want to be out in the fresh air, listening to...

Thank you for the description and very helpful photos!

Thank you! This is extremely helpful. I will try to find a rubber seal with that type of profile and size. Interesting info about the screen door seal. I was certain it was original; it seals perfectly against the beveled edge of the top section and appears to be of good quality construction.

Thank you! Also, I removed the shower light fixture and found there is power going to the wall switch and to the switch mounted on the fixture itself, and no power coming out of the fixture switch to the bulb holder. I simply cut off the terminal and connected the power feed from the wall...

My 7900 series unit was only secured with one screw through the floor at the front of the unit behind the decorative cover. You’ll need to turn off the gas and disconnect the propane line at the furnace. The unit will slide forward out of the exhaust pipe mounted on the sidewall exterior. Flip...

Thank you. I thought this might've been a second switch for the shower light but nothing. Light bulb is good. I guess the switch could be bad.

It seems I'm missing a weather stripping between the bottom of the upper door and the screen door. There's a big gap the width of the door you can stick your hand through. It looks like there are clips in each corner for something... The bottom of the screen door has an extension piece with a...

Thanks Sam! I did pick up a can of Great Stuff Pestblock foam and a couple packs of steel wool when I got the new foil duct. Judging by the amount of mouse droppings I’m pretty sure they found their way in from under the bathroom sink cabinet, and made their way into the kitchen cabinets and...

Day three of cleanup on my new 2001 22TL TowLite. Today is furnace day. Cleaned up both dinette cubbies of mice droppings and found the ductwork to the front register was chewed through in two spots. Which means both went right in the trash and both outlets got a thorough cleaning. I removed...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but does anyone know where the speaker pre-wiring usually runs? Are there two speakers or four? I’d like to use the wiring to install a radio with Bluetooth. If I remember correctly, some models have speakers in the corners of the front wall?
