Hello to all, My name is Gary, I'm a retired Elevator mechanic and have just acquired a 1985 2185D HiLo Funchaser. 20 years ago I had a 27 ft travel trailer so it's been some time back that I was in to the trailer life!
This HiLo looks great to be 28 years old!
It needs all new cables, the pump works but now has a leak in the steal line right the pump housing box.
I have jacked the top up and brace were needed for safety.
Doe's the top half have a steal frame work are is it a all wood frame?
All in all, I think this is going to be a fun new toy to tinker with!

PS I live in Long Beach, MS
Hobbies: restoring vintage motorcycles
1946 Indian Cheif
1979 Harley FXE

Welcome newbe/Gary.
I also have a 1985 funchaser.
I have rebuilt most things on my trlr at this point.
Dragged it to Florida last year for a 3 month trip from Nevada.
Passed thru Ms.
The top has a metal structure but also some wood.

Thanks for the reply Steve, After a closer look at the only rot spot that I can find (ketchen sink window) I saw the medal frame. I pulled all the cables out today 1 intack 3 broke. I hope to order a new set soon! How much is a set for a 21 ft?
Yes I10 is 5mi north me, you were close!

Gary contact J&R for current pricing, but they are not very expensive.
I strongly recommend that you replace all 4 as a set. They have all of the measurements for your trlr.
