Jay in parts and Steve in service have told us they are committed to helping us HiLo owners. Especially since HiLo went out of business. This is at Mantelli trailer sales.1-716-625-8877. Several time we have had to call them in the middle of repairs. Jay had a part we needed that no one carried. They have more free time to answer questions in the off season. Ask the dealers for some input on this issue. I am on another forum where the RV dealers regularly answer questions and provide invaluable experience.
Good info Sam! I think if you support dealers by purchasing parts or services from they are more likely to give out info to you, that's good for them. I'm talking about the people that call for info with no intention of making any purchases and go off somewhere else. Been there and done that in the hardware business. Sometimes there is liability involved by giving out information on certain subjects.

Default Results?

Looks like a runaway! Was a final policy determination made?

I've already seen one RV dealer(Arizona) with a listing with 4 or 5 Hi Lo's for sale, and as far as I'm concerned, with highly inflated prices.

Default RV dealer prices

I agree with the highly inflated prices by the Arizona dealer. Our forum members look up prices at www.NADAguides.com It is cheaper to buy from a private buyer. HiLos are readily available from private sellers.

I'm sure prices are negotiable. Even the NADA guides are a little "inflated".

It appears that "Yes, to only HiLo related items, such as, trailers, servicing, and parts." has won by a landslide.

So let's approach cautiously and maybe police our forum as we get posts from from businesses. I think that any businesses that place information here register with their actual business names. When they have items of interest to the forum they give a general description and then provide a link to their website or some other info to contact them, such as, email addresses or phone numbers.

Adding a new topic for dealers would be good, but right now I don't know how we can do this without a forum administrator or webmaster.

Please give me your comments on this.

These are the rules that can be found at the very bottom of the page. I knew they were here somewhere.

There is a good group of people here on the Forum and things have gone quite smoothly over the last four years. Mostly spammers, but that got fixed.

If you ever get access to add a folder for dealers and other commercial postings, you can do like the Bayliner Owners Club forum has done (http://baylinerownersclub.org/index.php/forum/index):

As you scroll down you will see a folder in the "For Sale" area called, "BOC Mall." This is where all commercial sellers are supposed to post for sale ads for boats, accessories, etc. Below that you see a folder called, "Go2Marine". This business has its own folder because they are a major sponsor of the forum. This allows forum members to view commercial ads only if they want to. If they prefer not to they can only view the "Boats for Sale" and "Classified" sections.

Incidentally, dealers, professional mechanics, etc, still post in other sections of the Bayliner forum. They just don't advertise there. Usually they post replies to technical questions.

That's a good suggestion. Thanks!

As an addition, if you want to report a questionable or spam post, just hit the exclamation point at the upper right hand of the post.

As I was driving eastbound across Arizona on Tuesday I saw a Hi Lo going westbound and it made me think about dealers on the forum, with thoughts of this getting out of hand and dealers for TV's posting their wares for sale. In addition, have you seen how dealers abuse Craigslist and post the same unit multiple times?

Default No dealers

I knew I saw it somewhere on the Forum. Under the Trading Post heading it says: "No dealer ad's allowed" That has been there from the beginning of the Forum.
