J&R
The owner of J&R (Greg Stanley) died but his son-in-law has been able to reopen the business,. with Greg's former employee. Web site is JR REPAIR and email is jrrepair@centurylink.net They are open and trying to supply parts and do repairs for Hi-Lo owners (and repairs to any brand.) If you need parts, give them a try.

Factory Hi-Lo Parts
As of March 2, 2012, I verified that the source for factory Hi-Lo Parts is:
hiloparts@gmail.com Phone no. is 419 886-0008 Mon.-Fri, 8:30-4:30 "Joel" Apparently the history is: JR got in money trouble and had to sell out. He sold to Greg Stanley who died. Now Joel has the parts business. Lloydinmd 2004 Towlite 22T 2008 Tundra |

Lloydinmd,
Joel's company is a competing business with J & R. J & R still sells HiLo parts. When the HiLo factory auctioned off their equipment and inventory, J & R bought a majority of the parts. I will be seeing Jim & Rob day after tomorrow when I take my trailer down to them for some work. I will get a correct response to your statement from them and post it here on the forum. Bob |
J & R (Jim & Rob) have been in business for more than 12 years, and jim worked for hi-lo (In there current location in butler ohio) since 1966 and rob is the son-in-law of one of the original owners. they did all the warantee(goof up)work on new hi-lo's and did and still do repairs and rebuilds on all travel trailers. they do not bad-mouth their competitors, as their work will speak for itself,as time has told this story before, and their help to all that ask go's without saying. I am a happy j&r previous and current customer

Took my HiLo to J & R today to have some work done prior to camping season. Had a nice visit with Jim & Rob. YES, J & R is still alive and well doing business. They do sell HiLo parts and repair HiLo trailers and other brands. They are still at the same location - 145 W Elm St, Butler, Ohio 44822, and their phone number is the same - 419-883-3001. Give them a call, they are glad to talk to their customers. Hope this clears up some confusion from a previous post.

Thanks for the report. I'm glad to hear they are doing fine. Their building is where the original HiLo factory was. The last HiLo building was built to make Towlite trailers, then eventually everything moved in there. I guess there is a bit of a story that goes along with that. (Trivia for today.) ;)

Maybe the other place wishes that JR Repair was closed.

New non-telescoping trailer from Hi-Lo!
Someone in another thread reported that they had heard some of the old Hi-Lo folks were developing a new trailer. So just out of curiosity, I typed in the old www.hilotrailer.com web address to see if there had been any changes. Much to my surprise I discovered (although I may be the last member of HTF to know this) that not only have they begun offering a new line of trailers, named "Midget," but also that they are refurbishing Hi-Lo Trailers and have two for sale.
In photos on the site, the "Midget," really looks pretty cute, and I like the A/C setup. Personally it would be too small for our current needs, but I can see the appeal for campers who have light duty tow vehicles. The two rebuilt Hi-Lo's they have also look very clean (price isn't bad either). Jim |
Brought my trailer home last night from J&R in Butler. Jim & Rob performed their magic on my rig and now it is better than new. These guys are fantastic at what they do. I am all set for the camping season now with the exception of my wife's "honey-do" project. I have pulled out the carpeting in the front lounge section and will be installing Allure Oak Plank Flooring throughtout the trailer. The only carpet will be in the rear bedroom. The flooring is a floating floor. The planks adhere to each other and come close to the color of the interior woodwork. I got it at Home Depot.

Hi Bob,
I really like your flooring idea. Please post some photos after you finish. Jim |
Midget trailer
JMDoering,Thanks for the heads up on the Midget and the refurbished HiLos. It is very cute for a small family.

Flooring
Retired camper 47,,ve read in another camping forum where the Allure flooring has been used. It was easy to install and looks great. Have fun with your honeydo project.

look just like the pages I looked at with J&R several weeks ago, and now the J&R site doesn't have a catalog page. Richard 2703 Towlite (soon to be for sale) 2901 Classic Limited, soon to hit the road 2002 F150 Super Crew 5.4 |
Hi Richard,
Actually, I don't go to either the J & R or Hi-Lo sites very often. After your post I checked them out, and unless I missed something between visits, both sites seem about the same as the last time I was there (except for the changes regarding the Midget). I don't remember J & R ever having parts listed, and the Hi-Lo site has always had parts listed. The J & R site seems to have been under construction since the day it started! I'll stand corrected if a frequent visitor wants to enlighten me about recent changes to the two sites. :) Jim |
