2010 construction
Is the frame on 2010 Hilo’s welded aluminum? According to the brochure it’s aluminum
|
My 2007 has an all aluminum frame according to the label on the side of the trailer....
|
Thanks very much
|
The trailer frame is steel
The trailer wall construction and ceiling is welded aluminum square tubing |
Roof
Thanks for the info on the frame. What is the roof material?
|
My 2007roof is aluminum....I had a 2002 and 2004 that had EDPM rubber....

Thanks. I’ve found a 2010 that had a leak in the exterior wall under the bedroom window. I repaired delamination on an motor home but knew what I was dealing with on the wall frames. I guess detaching the filon will be the same. Looking at the trailer on Sunday. Has two other problems that will have to be addressed but I need to get eyes on before I make a determination. Im going to buy the trailer but this gives me a bargaining price.
|
for resealing the windows, I find that quad max from Home Depot or Lowes works better than the putty tape they typically use....

Buying a HiLo.
Welcome to the forum. Use the buyers check list. Many of us have done extensive repairs/rebuilds. Keep us posted.

I’m going to have to pull the filon back to replace the plywood layer. Will use 1/8 marine plywood epoxied to the filon and foam. Done it before but it’s tricky and a pain. I’ll post pictures. If it was a wood frame I wouldn’t buy it.
Buyers checklist is a great idea and the sealer for the window. |
Rather than make an assumption, I’m going to ask. I can tell from the brochure that the top frame is welded box tubing. Are there wood frames also?
