Default Anyone Seen The "New" Hi Lo In Person?

I noticed that the prices for the "new" Hi Lo being manufactured have dropped quite a bite on RVTrader making them an attractive choice vs others in that price range. They look sharp, but small and without a shower/toilet. Has anyone seen one of these in person? I wonder how similar they are to the "original" Hi Lo. Since they sold in PA, and I'm in KS, I doubt I would ever seen one unless I ordered one to be sent out here, the eastern US in not on my travel schedule, not a fan of "congestion".

If anyone has seen them in person, I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

Here is the link to the dealership that is about 40 miles from me: Hi-Lo | Inventory Database | Kerola Campers

Kerola is the only dealer because they bought the rights from what was left from Hi-Lo. They look like a Hi-Lo is about all I can say.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm just not sure about them. It doesn't appear they are going to really take off with them. I am often surprised, though, that so many people are just stumped by our Hi-Lo. They will stand there and look and look. Sometimes, they say, "With that so tall, it must be get a lot of wind resistance. My husband then explains that it lowers. Fascinating isn't it?

Haven't seen one of the new ones yet but we don't feel they will attract a lot of sales. We bought our 2007 25 fl. Classic new in 07 and love it. A Hi-Lo is great and but does require maintenance that other travel trailers don't require so it needs to offer more than a roof over your head. If they really want to make a go of it they need to make the investment and bring back the oldie's but goodies.

Thanks. I wasn't even aware.
Hope it continues.
Problem is that hilo is good for fuel economy and for fitting into the garage. Neither is a high priority for most RVers.
Most only pull the camper a short distance a couple times a year so gas prices not key. And that is the biggest advantage for me at least since i tow it a lot all year over 30k per year. Lower fuel consumption adds up for me.
The popup is a cheap alternative for those wanting to save on gas and living in such a tent on wheels not a big deal for their two trips per year.
People who money is no object have 5th wheelers and own stock in Exon.

Did they also get the rights to sell the old HiLo parts? Finding parts for my 71' has been an issue during my restoration project.

Hi-Lo specific parts are available at the links below. Most everything else is common RV parts.
