I don't think you'll find an Elixir converter anymore. They are no longer made. I replaced mine with a Progressive Dynamics converter and the thread I wrote on the replacement is here: https://www.hilotrailerforum.com/f28...lacement-7659/ It was actually pretty simple once I figured out the mistake I'd made and documented in the thread.

Others have replaced theirs with a Boondocker converter, but I don't think the wiring is quite as straightforward.

Either one is a good replacement though, and I've had NO problems since installing the PD converter. You can find either one online.

Default Where to get a new converter.

WWW>Best Converter.com A real person will answer the phone. The model you have now is no longer made. Great customer service. Ships out quickly. Even when you are installing a Tech is available to answer your questions. Search the internet for the best price. What you pay for the converter is a good deal. Price plus the number of years it lasts.1-888-828-1893.

Default Welcome to the forum.

Had to look up where Chestertown,NY is. My grand parents on my Mothers side had a cottage near Glens Falls,NY. I believe their house was in Hudson falls. Tell us what size HiLo you have"? Is it a Classic or a Towlite? What is your tow vehicle.
