I would check with a dealer also. You will have to keep in mind that an awning for a Hi-lo is not the standard dimensions of other awnings and the bottom mount has to go onto a special bracket made for Hi-lo. You can get the bracket from J & R Repair :Home - JR REPAIR or from Hi-Lo Trailer parts: http://hilotrailerparts.webs.com/apps/webstore/

Is SLC there is an online free ad like craigs list that people advertise all sorts of RV accessories. I have seen an enclosed 15' Horizon awning like mine for $250.
I have several friends that live in Castle Rock. They love it - It seems like a great town.

thanks fellas! would any of you say that the Flamma or the Horizon awnings are a good deal!? so i dont have to deal with the lower arms for the awning? and should i just check with an awning dealer locally and see what they suggest?!? im afraid of it weighing too much on the side of the trailer.. and $$$$$$...


Castle Rock is a little piece of heaven!!! i LOVE it here, im from So Cal originally.. you couldnt give me 40 acres to move back to ca! i LOVE it here! couldnt jackhammer the smile off my face on how happy i am here in Colorado!

ould someone that has a22ft TowLite post a picture of their awning in the closed position and a picture opened up. Maybe a visual picture would help.

Yes it's a Horizon and it has brackets at the bottom. I saw One on Towliters pictures and the bracket was mounted on the bottom half. I would recommend that over where mine are. I love that it is covered. No issue with wind damage. I have replaced the original screws, which pulled out, and put bolts thru it into wood blocks on the inside.
