Stowing the cable is no problem if you push it into the compartment and force it into a figure eight pattern. The added benefit is that when you pull it out, there are no kinks!

Not a real problem.

These systems have been proven over many years of service.

If you see no signs of leaks, most likely the check valve is slowly leaking back into the resevoir. Don't worry about it as long as you...

Smile To Bar or not to Bar

The truth is, hydraulic valves and check valves DO leak. They are not perfect. And have you seen the line feeding the cylinder? On mine it's plastic. The bar is part of the design. That's what...

Grease the slide bar

Don,
How long has the top been up. The slide bar seems to have a bit of rust on it. Possibly that is what is holding it up. The cylinder forces the top up but only its weight brings it down. Try...

Well it is an electric vehicle too. It runs along on battery power to keep up with the tow vehicle. We'll see how that works out.

The website indicates that you can preorder with only a $500 deposit. The selling price that they are starting with is $125,000.
It's only money, you know.

Smile Clarification?

The Hi-Lo manual refers to this unit as a "converter". It converts 120 VAC into 12 VDC. As such, when connected to "shore power" (120 VAC), it carries the 12 VDC load (up to it's rated capacity),...

I might be wrong, but I believe that all Hi-Lo trailers have a hydraulic pump powered by an electric (starter) motor. I guess that makes them an "electric " lift.
