- robsouthExplorer III have seen them and they look very nice. In fact I was looking at one yesterday that was like new but the price was a little high for a camper that old. Nearly all the comforts of a regular TT, but better pulling aerodynamics.
Keep us posted and a picture or two would be great. I'll see if I still have the pics of the one I was looking at and will post them just for comparison. Happy Camping. - Sea_GypsyExplorerI will definitely post some pics. I'm excited!! But one day....I'm getting a vintage trailer that I can restore. (Not that I know how to do that yet, though)
- grizz272ExplorerWe just got rid of our HILO we had it for 11 yrs. We liked it a lot. I would have bought another one if they were still making them.
- brulazExplorerMust have been used (?) as the company went bankrupt a while back. Or has it come back from the dead?
Trailmanor makes folding trailers and went bankrupt too but was brought back by its biggest dealer. Don't make the up-right Elkmont anymore though. - alcaracuExplorerWe have a 2004 17 ft. Hi Lo that we've owned since 2007. We love it and have been all over FL, back and forth to San Francisco, up to RI, the GA mountains, etc. It tows like a dream and is relly well made. Have had no issues with it and store it in the garage. Plenty of room for the 2 of us and our 2 camping corgis. Al C.
- Big_KatunaExplorer IIMy folks had two back in the late 70's early 80's. Towed them with an early 6.2 Chevy all over North America.
Funny story. My mom would get the inside ready while dad would do the outside stuff. She left a ketchup bottle on top of the fridge once and when she lowered the top it poked a hole in the ceiling. She kept quiet and when they stopped bought one of those stick on air fresheners. When she put the top up while dad was getting the water and power hooked up she stuck the air freshener over the hole. We don't think he ever knew. - Sea_GypsyExplorerCool! Great stories. Yes mine is a 1987. I only have one kid left at home, so I sold my tent trailer that slept 7. It's perfect for the two of us, or if she brings a friend along.
I'm just a little nervous about towing the bigger trailer with a bigger vehicle. I just bought a truck on Friday. My first camping trip with the Hi Lo and new truck is next weekend.
:E - BigPackFanExplorerHad many great trips in my '99 TowLite 18TD (the low end Hi-Lo). Good luck!
- CavemanCharlieExplorer IIII think they used a cable pulley system to make it go up an down. Or, at least the early ones did. Make sure all of that system is in good shape.
