Most of the "techs" I've talked to at the local dealers/shops look at me like I have leprosy when I tell them I'm working on a 1972 HiLo, haha.

Full Disclosure, I'm mostly a rookie to all this. That said, I did just completely rebuild the entire roof on ours. Anyway, the lap sealant is good and all, but I'd also be running Eterna Bond tape...

Few questions there.

1) How do I find out my loaded weight?

The old HiLo brochure I found lists the trailer at 2425lbs which I assume is a dry weight. I've been just assuming we added 500lbs...
