Default Brand New Hi-Lo

Hi Everybody! We tent camped and canoe/boat camped for 20 years. Loved it then. We moved on to renting, and tried out travel trailers, tent trailers and cabins. That was not quite "it". After that we went through 2 truck campers. found it fun but that was not "it" either. Then I found a telescoping trailer called a Tow-Low. We bought it used. It towed like a dream. No more semi-truck coming up panic. We could pull into any camp site, any-where! The weather made no difference. Bring on the thunder storms, wind and let er rip. This was "it". No more "what if it's ok rubber roof? No more "whats the weather and wind forecast"? Well the Tow-Low has some years on it now. And they are out of business. I went for a demo on a Trailmanor. I was so dissapointed that we started using hotels. Then I started shopping for a Hi-Lo. As usual I go look at a new unit and walk away waiting for a better unit or better deal. We have shopped for a new camper for a year now. Then Hi-Lo goes out of business. It's now or never. I found a 2011 Hi-Lo, 2311H. This time I didn't walk away. I bought a Hi-Lo for a price I still don't believe. I have drooled over the Hi-Lo trailers at the camp-sites. Talked to the owners and walked away from a sale so many times. So, Hi Everybody I'm now a Hi-Lo owner.

Welcome welcome to the club. I have seen a new hi-lo on a lot and they sure look purdy. I hope yours proves to be "it" for you and not just another step along the way.

Congrats, great choice. We enjoy hi-lo trailers and I'm already making modifications to our newer towlite, can't wait for the next camping season.

Welcome to the forum. Owning a HiLo proves all great minds think alike. What neck of the woods do you hail from?

Welcome to the forum. Congrats on your new HiLo. Last we heard someone had bought all the patents for HiLo and they were making Prototypes over the winter 2012. Haven't had any updates.

I am brand new to this forum. I am looking for more information about Hi-Lo trailers--floor plans, specifications, prices, dealers, etc. I am located in the Memphis, TN area. Can anyone help. Also, for btgorman, what happened that was so bad with the Trailmanor? I am considering one. Thanks to all.

Dstrand,

In the reference section there are a number of brochures for Hi-Lo by year.

Also, I suspect your best bet for price and dealer locations would be trailers for sale on oodle. Hi-Lo went bankrupt in 2010, so there are only a limited number of "new" trailers available.

BT Gorman,

Howdy neighbor! We have a 2406 T and live just down the road from you in Fredericksburg. This is the third Hi Lo we have owned and enjoyed trouble free [almost] service over the years. Just bought a used one last year and aside from replacing the awning, and getting ready to rubberize the roof, we have used it three times already and plan on a 6-week trip to Colorado in July-August this year. If you are in our neighborhood, give us a call, we are in the directory. If I can be of any assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Welcome to the Hi Lo Forum. A lot can be learned here. Good luck with your new Hi Lo.

OOPs! Just noticed you are in Austin, MN., not Texas. Sorry. The Hi Lo we bought was a repossessed model from Minnesota. I still offer a Texas Welcome to a Minnesota 'friend'.
