I don't think you have a prayer of finding anything with a full bath that you can tow. I'm pretty sure full bath trailers need a diesel in the Ford 250 or Chevy 2500 model range (or better). - Jack |

Prices can be found at www.NADA guides.com

Assuming you have the V6 and the tow package, the trailer limit is 6500 pounds, and the combined weight rating is 11,100 pounds. You must deduct the weight of truck cargo and passengers from the 6500 pounds. Rule of thumb is 80% of the towing capacity for maximum trailer weight. That would be 5200 pounds. You could pull up to a 22' Towlite. That is what I have and everything works fine.

yes a v6...22 ft er come with a full bath?....what sizes come with a sit bath.......what are problems to watch for aside from leaks?...how old of one would you go back if in good condition & still be safe...& get good fuel mileage?

Other Forum Threads
Dave,
Here are other forum threads to check out and they should answer your questions: https://www.hilotrailerforum.com/f15/...on-thread-895/ https://www.hilotrailerforum.com/f15/...-purchase-871/ The 19ft and smaller Hi-Lo Trailers come with a wet bath. With a wet bath, you don't have a separate shower or tub. The shower is over the top of the toilet. With a 21ft and larger Hi-Lo Trailer, you have a separate shower/tub. Many people have posted pictures on this site, and that should give you an idea about how the shower/tub is set up. There are also reference manuals in the Library that may give you more information on the sizes and layout. Hi-Lo did not change their floorplans much throughout the years. |
If you get a 1999 or later in a Towlite model you will get a metal frame in the walls and roof as opposed to the wood frame in the older models. That can reduce some possible problems.
If I have 1999 incorrect, somebody please correct me. Classic models run higher in weight than Towlite models, but they start at 24' and go up. |

Thanks for the correction on the metal framework. My literature goes back to 1999 and I knew they started with metal somewhere back in that area and wasn't sure how much before 1999 it was.

I know it seems "pricey", but I'm really glad I have it. I still check the hitch load now and then. - Jack |
Just an Idea
Wouldn' t it be helpful to have a complete history of all the HiLo's made. In other words each year model listed with any changes made. This would give you a reference to say when the towlites went from metal framiing to wood framing ect.
|
Are you volunteering to do that? ;)
