Hello,

These are two pics of a front window on a 2007 Hi Lo,
I was considering for possible purchase.

I intentionally blocked out the Vehicle ID labels.

I didn't notice any damage yet on the inside of the windows.

Opinions of possible extent of damage?
Thanks for any input.

On the inside just below the window you will find a long " ledge" with some type of paneling over it. The window shade cords are attached to screws that help hold this panel in place. It is also stapled. If the owner will allow I would take out those screws and carefully pry up . Underneath is the "beam" that runs the length of the trailer and that the cables are attached to. You don't want that rotted. If that looks ok in that area then you may have minimal damage to outside panel and foam wall but if that has water damage then eventually you are going to have major repairs.
 
Thank hilltool for
the useful suggestion.

I also posted some pictures of what was occurring
back by the rear corner of the shower area, on the
trailer's upper section.

Buying a HiLo

I wish you could find a HiLo in better condition. Do you want to camp or spend all of one summer fixing up your HiLo? I would be nervous about the exterior dammage. If the owner won't let you do as Hitool suggested then walk away.
