- Melissa found an awesome deal on a Hi-Lo travel trailer and I brought it home tonight. In a couple weeks she will meet me half way and bring it to Louisiana. The Melissa version of The Tent. Lol. Time to make sure everything works. Stay tuned for move videos on this and eventually Gulf of Mexico fishing/camping videos and other places as well.
I know for a fact this is the camper I grew up camping in. My dad built that bunk and my mom put those curtains and pillows in. My dad recently found this video and showed it to me, super cool.
I just bought a 1988 HI LO, can't wait to get it home tomorrow and check it out. It was in a barn for 20 years, nice condition.

You are a great father!! I hope all the kids appreciate you!!
Most people have trouble replacing a spark plug. Joe manages to take care of two RVs, a secluded cabin in the woods, fixes and rebuilds a house, hunt, fish, run a hobby farm, play with his grandkids, run his own business, and edit RUclips videos. Seriously where is your home planet and why are you here on earth to shame us with your insane work ethic?
Gary Chiang he never sleeps....😏😜
Indeed, but you forgot rock polisher aficionado.
;-)
he makes me look lazy!!! if I could bottle his energy and sell it, we'd be rich!!!
He is inspiring...that is why I like his channels...it also seems that there is a drive that is pushing him to do that he always does so they are not subject to debate...but he has a lot of energy
One of the best, and funniest, ways I have seen someone ask the same question. lol Joe is a machine.
Hey joe, im not sure if your camper has propane appliances but I wanted to mention when I was a kid back in the early 80's my cousin and 4 other kids died one night because the exhaust for a propane fridge broke in the middle of the night and flooded the place with carbon monoxide. Carbon Monoxide detector is a must! All the best!
mic jam that's why I always have my window open at night
A propane furnace in the wintertime when windows are closed is scary to me.
nice! someone took very good care of that for years, and now it will have more life with you and Melissa.
What an awesome little camper!! Congratulations.
What a GREAT find, Melissa!:) The older travel trailers are just better built, in my opinion... The Hi-Lo is so good, because it does collapse! Not so much of a larger 'Rig' to have to move it. A great tag/team buy!:) Semper Fidelis
Very nice find. I know ul have it looking like a mansion in no time, lol. Tyfs, God bless you and Melissa
Great find Joe. You will fishing down there too. Always nice to have your own place to sleep in with a/c too . You two will have a lot of fun with this. Good luck with it .
We are in the process of purchasing our first camper. We are getting an a-frame popup. Kind of small, but perfect for the two of us. We will never be full time rv'ers, but we will be weekend warriors!
This is the first hi-lo I've seen! never knew it existed til now. I think it's awesome!! That A.C. unit looks almost exactly like the one I had in my 84 Shasta, and that thing would get so cold that it would frost the windows! nice little find!
Love Melissa's new "tent" mate lol ....Bring on the fishing trip..... no doubt you will have it like New before that first trip.... love to the family😎👍🇦🇺
nice lil' camper, you said it best, great for a few nights
I worked at Hi-Lo factory in Butler, Ohio, 46 years ago...very interesting seeing this video. I believe the plant was moved to Bellville, Oh. 6 miles west.
Do you know where they stamped the vin number on a 1979 fun chaser!? Ive looked everywhere
I got a 1998 hi lo 21 ft its been pretty fun im in oregon
I bet Melissa was jumping up and down when she viewed this walk-through. Great find.
Well that should do the job nicely mate. Needs a little TLC but i know you, wont be long until its cleaned, steamed and spritz like new. Cheers Moose.
I look forward to the fishing videos you make with this Hi-Lo. Great find Melissa!
WOW! Another good find! It' looks like it's in really good condition! I wish we could find one of these for my son to camp in. We have a Class A, but not enough room for his family of 5 and the younger 2 need their own room. They go to bed early and need it to be dark & quiet! Maybe we need 2 of those!!! LOL
I just brought one of these home from down the street. Someone had a plywood sign free camper. Never lowered it. Small like 16ft think it is . Nice little yard tent for sure looks kind like that.one.
Gary Chiangs comments had me laughing all evening! I've thought the same for years, but could never have said it so well! Joe, you are an inspiration. On occasion, when I get a lazy bug and am not getting my work done, I just re-watch some of your videos and it shames me right back to work!
Tight lines! An RV's worst enemy is water damage. Check out the roof seals and underneath the floors. Many RVs had to be junked because of water damage. Have fun!
Great piece of kit...........happy trails 👍👍👍
Very nice Joe. I can't wait to see the fishing videos! Hope your mom and dad are doing well. I enjoy watching your dad, make and build items for the cabin. You are pretty good too. lol Take care and have a great Memorial Day weekend.
Joe, I'm pretty sure you know this, but make SURE you sanitize you water tanks and flush it thru the inlet for your outside hookup, a friend of mine nearly died because he didn't do those things. It looks nice though.
Thank you Matt. I will do that for sure. Joe
Yes I watched where a PLUMBER said he would never use the water coming out of RV tanks because you don't know what is inside the tanks! That opened my eyes. 🤤 I am looking at a 2001 hi-low towlite. The thing is what 18 years old. I would not use the water either. For drinking, showering or cooking!
i miss this camper we used to play in it when we were children
Very nice find, Melissa. I can envision quite a few pork steaks being eaten in that camper trailer. lol
Just subscribed. Seen your 90,000 subscription video on your other channel and seen the hi-lo in it. Got finished watching it and seen this video! Can't wait to see some of those fishing trips!
Saw one of these for the first time today. Very interesting. Kinda cool .Looks to be maybe easier to pull as it looked like you might be able to see over it in the rear view from the drivers seat.
Yes, your view out the back is much better.
Thanks for helping me figure out the ac.
Melissa is very fortunate to have Joe!
Joe that is a nice looking camper!! That is something me and my wife need so we can do some traveling. That would be great to use to go and visit my son and his family down in NC near Atlantic Beach! My camper of course is 46 years old and is pretty much setup at hunting camp to remain there. Like seeing these videos of your finds!!! Well I guess this one was Melissa's find!! LOL Juddie
Very nice find!!
Your always up to something, lol. Thanks Joe
Lots of storage for lighter fluid, pork steaks, potatoes, canned veggies! Just kidding Joe! I hope to see more videos on the Hi Lo as you check it out! Man you are like the energizer bunny! You never stop!
Great find, I bet the fridge stove and AC are worth more than you two paid for the entire camper.
love your videos
Looka great joe congrats
Joe check out led bulbs when replace bad bulbs they run cooler give off more light and take less power so the battery lasts longer.
Sweet find
that was my grandma and grandpa s camper when i was a kid
Nice hi lo trailer.
I would suggest LED bulbs all around - then you could go for several days without 'shore power'.
good pickup mate.
Looks like a nice find! I'm sure plenty of good times will come out of it. Just gave your Instagram a follow as well!
Never known they made an RV Trailer like this.
Joe, I thought the house in Louisiana was finished and may Melissa was living g in it.
Love this!!!
I would imagine this setup would really help with aerodynamics/ fuel economy
dang, somehow my notifications got turned off on this channel and I'm way behind. this looks like it's going to be a fun project for you
Nice, Boats and RV's are going for nothing currently.
I love this I would love to know how you are finding these great deals and the prices of them
i could be wrong but it sounded to me like you were thinking that 30 amp was 220 converted to 110 with that pigtail the factory 30 amp is 110 but most residents dont put in 30 amp 110 so people put on pigtails to plug into a 20 amp
Yea, no sleeping on the ground with twigs and rocks sticking into me LOL. Loves me flush toilet and comfy bed when going camping these days.
joe if that like the one i have the fresh water tanks about 20 or 25 gals
you have about a 25 gal gray and back water tanks
Thought I saw some water damages in the toilet area.
I wouldn't trust the drop-down beds for anything over 100 pounds.
I agree.
I've been able to sleep on the top bunk when the wife says I'm too hot. I'm 225 lbs. No problem other than the mattress is very very thin
nice man
It took me forever to figure out the plug for AC. I live my high low
My awning is off I have to find some place I can get a new one.
Can a Half ton F 150 pull the hilo ok ?
Yes.
Ive aquired a camper just like this. I figured out how to manually lift it but i dont see how to lower it without battery. Any advice would be appreciated.
cool
When you plug in to turn on your AC
I can see you building a tiny house one day
NamePendin'78 Not "technically," literally.
WINGZ Haha. I guess it only matters enough that you replied.
This may be a silly question but what is the advantage to having a collapsible camper?
Smaller to pull. easier to see things looking through your mirrors. It can fit into a garage for storage. You could strap a canoe on top.
@@NorthernSeclusion that makes sense. Thanks for the reply :)
After the 5th Wheel renovation, this should be child's play! Another project for your crowded To Do List. 😉
What year model is this camper?
@@grouchyoldman809 thank you! ✌🏻🧔🏻
Would you mind saying what a "good deal" is for a used Hi-Lo? Nice set up!
Is Meliisa planning on living in her new home you are fixing up in Louisiana or permanently live in the travel trailer you brought down for her?
She will live in the house eventually but it wont be done for another year. I can not get down there to work on it for any length of time until around February.
Thats explains everything...lol...thanks Joe! Love your videos! Especially the gardening and tent ones! :-)
3:40
Wow, looks to be in great condition. What did you pay for it?
Really enjoy your videos Joe. Still waiting for our river fishing to get good here in Utah. Do you ever fish for trout?
you find that on Craigslist Joe?
I saw one just like it there.
Yes Jim. This beauty was in Isanti.
I have a question about the HiLo. We bought one a few weeks ago and took it camping. We got it home and now it won't go up again. Our mechanic friend is checking the connections and whatnot. Can I email you for extra comments?
love your video's man ive noticed you've been using the f150 alot did you get rid of the f250
I think he saves that one for his daily driver & the old one for at the tent due to branches scapping the sites, etc
Riley Carr I was wondering that myself.
I have the F350, I am just about to bring it in and have it bullet proofed. After that I am thinking a leveling the front end and 35's for tires. The 150 has the ladder racks and it is my work truck, it is old, rusty, dirty and I could care less if it gets beat up. You will see more of the diesel in the future.
I'm looking at one now for $5k and not sure if that's a good deal.
Did you buy it? What year?
How there could be one thumbs down , I can’t figure ?
Where is the vin tag on a hilo camper
Usually they are on the A frame a little ways behind the front hitch. It is stamped into the frame. Possibly it could be on the inside of one of the kitchen cabinets.
@@NorthernSeclusion i have searched😫 the sticker inside cabinet was removed.. mine is a 1979 and there is a lot of coats of paint and rust on the tongue been looking for 3 days now
Got one I'd like to sell what are they worth
Why buy this when you have the other trailer already down there.
She is living in that full time. It is hooked up to the sewer system and she does not have a 1 ton diesel to pull it. If you are going to go for a weekend to go fishing and enjoy the outdoors you have no need for a 35 foot "house" to do that.
NorthernSeclusion ...... my handbreak wouldn't feel that 35ft Was enough she would prefer an actual house on wheels. 😆😎👍🇦🇺
Need advice on my trailer please help
Email me. joe@homeandcabinconstruction.com
Can you do more videos about the chicks or make a channel for that??
sweet
what year?
I'd say a 1991?
1986
why don't you let us know the price?
Because I did not want to.
It’s so noisy
But only for a few minutes.
