Seal trim on bottom of top half. While reading your question and the follow up answers, I can understand your problem. As stated before, the bottom seal does need to be caulked. Living in Ohio, I have been able to use J&R Trailer repair many times. The last repair was for the area you have...

280c Hello and welcome to the forum. We have owned our 06 280C since 2007 and have enjoyed it as I'm sure you will. I did notice one thing in your pictures that I wanted to bring to your attention. There is a strap on the hinged cover over the tip out that should always be attached with the...

I have a 2806C that I'm interested in selling. I sent you a private message as I'm getting ready to cover it for the winter. I live very near you and would wait to cover it if you are interested. Take a look a my private message to you as it has some additional information.

The motor, located above the tip out opening is actually a modified electric winch from a boat trailer, used to winch a boat onto the trailer instead of the hand crank. They added a fiber board with contacts that keeps the system from going too far beyond the necessary distance needed to lift...

On my 280C I have a full size queen mattress. It has just enough space to fit past the foot of the bed as the mattress is 6 inches longer than what the platform is designed for. I'm 6'3 about 260 and have been using this since 2007 with no problem. As for the frame, as noted before, it is a...

I have a sunbrella cover that I have used for 12 years. It's still in great shape and has been through many high wind storms. We live across the street from Lake Erie and the trailer is stored next to the house. In addition to what has been suggested, I split a swim noodle and place the strap...

I have a 2006 28 ft HiLo that I believe has the same material as yours. If the crack is in the end caps, they are constructed much like a fiberglass boat with a gel coat finish. If the crack is in the side of your trailer, it is finished with a product called "Filon" manufactured by Crane...

Jean, I have the same trailer as yours. The wire you refer to is for the air conditioner. If you trace it down to the space between the wardrobe and the wall, you will find that there is a plug. It was designed to be unplugged and stored in the upper cabinet when the unit is down, much like the...

I just completed an awning fabric replacement at J&R Trailer repair that wasn't as easy as we thought it would be. The awnings used for the Hi-Lo trailer I have was made by A&E, now part of Dometic. It is a model 8500HL, the HL standing for Hi-LO. Although the length,(front to back) is the same...

Just a Guess Looking at the picture, I would guess they are to be used in a public shower so that you don't have to wear flip flops or stand on a questionable shower floor. Welcome to the wonderful RV world, I hope that you have many enjoyable days with your new to you camper.

I have had this system on my Hi-Lo for over 6 years and have had no problems with it. However, you should be aware of the extra effort needed to install it in your trailer. In order to accommodate the raising and lowering of the trailer, you need to bring the camera wires into the upper half of...

So sorry to hear of your loss. Susan and my prayers are with you during this time of need.

Road Dog The package that you have is almost identical to what I have, except the age. My truck is an 2007 and the Hi-Lo is a 2006. You will enjoy this setup as it is a dream to tow. We go to Kohler-Andrea every other year and enjoy Wisconsin, of course it helps that my wife is from there...

How to get the stains out of the fiberglass on my Hi-Lo I had a similar problem on our 2806C and tried many different products. I finally found a product called FSR by Davis Instruments, it was easy to use and did a remarkable job of taking the stains out. I then followed up with Gel-Gloss as...

I just wanted to let the forum know what great people Jim and Rob at J&R Repair are. I took my Classic 280C to them for repair of the rail on the door side that was showing signs of dry rot. I also told them to check the rest of the trailer while they had it in the shop. A week later, I was...

Cal Mark Cover I have used a Cal Mark cover for the last four years. They make a great cover that has held up to the weather off Lake Erie with little or no wear. I used an Adco cover on a earlier trailer that only lasted into the second season. I will try to post a picture of the trailer...

Tip out I also have an 06 Classic and there are no pins to hold it when open. I don't see the need for them as the tip out rests against the trim and wall when open. As for the winch, just don't force it beyond the center position when running it in or out. I haven't had any problems like...

Lubricating the slides I haven't seen very much information in the forum regarding this subject, so I thought I would let you know what I was told to do. After we bought our unit, I visited JR Enterprises to learn what I could about maintaining our HI-LO. We don't live to far from them, so...

Replacement Thermostat Well, it's done. I went to Wal-Mart and looked at both the Hunter and Honeywell units. I bought the Honeywell unit RTH111B. It uses 2 AAA batteries and does have settings for both heat and cooling. As mentioned before, you don't have to hook up the cooling as the...

Thermostat Conversion I was finally able to remove the winter cover from our Hi-Lo and check out the wiring for the thermostat. My trailer has a three way switch located by the lift switch. When it is in the bottom and middle position, there is no power to the furnace. The only time there...

Hi-Lo cover I have used a Sun Brella cover from Calmark for three years now with no problems. You can see them at: CalMark Cover - RV Covers, Custom RV Covers, Auto Covers, Tire covers, Ready Fit The winters here in northern Ohio can be pretty bad and the wind, I live across the street from...

Electronic thermostat I would like to know more about the conversion to the electronic thermostat. It sounds like a good idea, and I would like to try it. But I wonder if it is just a swap, or is there more to it?

2007 Hi-Lo Towlite 17T Was just looking over the inventory at a local dealer in Ohio. He shows a couple used HI-LO trailers. One of them is a clean looking 2007 Hi-Lo Towlite 17T. Thought you might be interested. You can go to tacrv.com to see pictures. 2006 2806C 2007 F150 FX4 Super Crew

Another option This is my first post to the forum, but after reading all the comments about add-on towing mirrors, I thought this might be of interest to some of you. I use the Cipa slip on mirrors on my 07 F150, they work OK, but as discussed about , they do vibrate at speed. I went a step...
