Hello, I am a first time poster who is looking to buy a 15' Hi-Lo, I'm not sure if that is 15T or 1509T. I have a lead on a 2009 model in Columbus, OH but I'm searching for any 15' model, the newer the better but under $13,000, and the closer to southern Maryland the better.
My first question, is there a dry bath in a 15'? Next I will explain my "different" towing situation, but to summarize I have a few questions on the dimensions: how wide and tall is it when collapsed? When raised, how tall is it and what are the widest points at 20" above the ground (e.g. width across tops of tires or lowest part of fenders)? What is the ground clearance? Can a Hi-Lo be transported in a partially raised position, possibly with support under the upper section?
Here is my towing setup: I currently have a 2011 Cozy Traveler 14' conventional TT. I have used it for 5 state park trips but now I want to combine it with a 32' gooseneck car hauler and a Jeep Wrangler which I pull with a diesel Dodge 2500. So I hooked the camper to my Jeep, pulled the camper up on the car hauler, and measured 13' 10" to the top of the A/C unit! That is a lot more overpass risk and wind resistance than I care to deal with, and the camper on the ground already catches more side wind than two Jeeps on a car hauler. So I'm hoping to sell my camper and buy a 15' Hi-Lo to cut down the height and wind resistance, or selling my truck, hauler, and camper to buy an older class C motor home which I'm afraid will wear quickly with 5,000+ lbs. of Jeep and 16' car trailer behind it.
So with a hauler/camper combo, I have a 4,000 pound camper weight limit which I think will not be a factor with the short length. The 15' length is fine, as the spare will go between the car hauler ramps, but I have only 83" width between the hauler fenders which are approximately 18" higher than the deck. Could I transport a Hi-Lo partially raised, maybe supporting the outer shell with wood blocks over the reinforced hauler fenders? Or perhaps I would end up putting a front hitch on my Jeep, raising the camper to reduce the width and pushing it to the front of the hauler (backwards, with the spare in front), and then lowering it for the trip?
Thanks in advance for any measurements and advice!
