A Dutchman in Trailer talk is kind of like Lincoln or Cadillac in car talk. If that's all their asking, I'd jump on that like stink on stuff. Sounds like a good deal though.
Bear I'm thinking that was meant as a compliment - but only if you believe in the brand. I gave up GM products in the mid 80's and have lived quite happily since changing allegiances. Anyone else attest (or condemn) the brand? Now back to the subject (covers) ... today I was in camping world, looking to spread $200 for a cover. After about 10 min looking for help I gave up and left. Other than a door greeter I never spoke to an employee. Inside I only found one employee who was busy with another customer. Where were all the others? I'll order one on-line. |

Last night, while the employees of my local Camping World were smokin' & jokin' in the employees break room I went to their non-stop internet sight.
Maybe all of five min to order (and charge) this cover: https://www.campingworld.com/shopping...4-model-/49136 $181 delivered. |
From #16 (above)
2003 26' Dutchman w/ LOTS of extras (asking $8250).
He's now down to $7495. There is also an 04 Forest River, very similar in amenities and same 26 foot. I think he wanted $8200. Also willing to trade, wonder if he'd like an older HiLo? Now that I have my HiLo, I'm in no hurry to see where these two go - but if either drops to $6000 I'll give them a call. Note: I looked/waited 5 years before I purchased this HiLo. Patience, GrassHopper. Back on topic: UPS advises my new cover will be delivered Friday. |

Next question is: How can I lower or raise the box, when the batteries will be out for the Winter? In the shed, I had a plug in charger set for one hour a day, but now........no AC available for that. |
This coming Winter, I'll be storing the 2308C outside for the first time. anybody got any info on how these ADCO covers will stand the 'gaff'?
Also; how can I lower/raise the box when the batteries will be out for the winter? |

He also told me that it was spooky flying with cadavers in body bags. They often tended to move around with the changes in air pressure. |
Trailer cover
I live in Niagara Falls,NY. You weather is just as brutal as ours. I would invest in a good sunbrella cover. It will be expensive but worth it to keep the HiLo protected.

The HiLo is a great little RV for what it is, but I prefer a more comfortable bed to sleep in. Also the shape of the Airstream lends itself to more stability in high winds, as well as more aerodynamics in towing. |

wanting an Airstream
Mel If you are serious about wanting an Airstream get on the www.Airforums.com website for an extensive period of time. DH has an interest in them because he is a retired sheet metal fabricator. They command a good buck even if used and new is very expensive. They have less storage and the beds are terrible from the factory. The units leak and need extensive repairs/upgrades costing at least 10 to 15 thousand for parts. Forget about all of your evenings and weekends for three yrs. while you labor with repairs/restoration. They are said to tow better and many just love them as much as we love our HiLos. Just saying.

Camping Word ADCO cover
I have had an ADCO cover for 3 years. While I have no doubt that the Sunbrella fabric covers are superior, the ADCO has worn well through brutal winters and seems to be a good value.

Given the low profile of the hi-lo, I would be interested in seeing further reviews on the effect of crosswinds compared to an Airstream. Asthetically and from a "cool: factor0 I get the Airstream. I love that "railroad car" design! From an unscientific observation, I have a buddy with an 18ft CASITA, which is VERY rounded and light- and he experiences more issues in winds with THAT than I do with my 22 ft hi-lo. That said- If I was looking to go to a rounded type of travel trailer, and spend airstream money, I would check out ESCAPE TRAILERS out of Canada. Molded fiberglass and no leaks. Plus- they have a pretty cool fith wheel model these days.
