- The city water hookup is complete with no leaks anywhere. Almost all of the minor details that needed attention have been finished. Some painting, lots of cleaning and it is complete. It is time to take her camping!
Take down the curtains and wash them?.....Get some foam cleaner for carpet and upholstery, a bucket of warm water soft cloth. Spray a little foam on the cloth(very little water on cloth) wipe over upholstery, very lightly, it really makes it smell great....we've had so many campers, it's a trick that works...looks great!
Another fantastic video! You crack me up by how much Windex you use. Watch my Big Fat Great Greek Wedding!
Nice work.
Detailed job and looks great!
I had a friend that had one of these.He learned....never let a drunk friend barrow your stuff.He went over the things that have to be out of the way to lower the top.When he got it back from his so called friend,the guy totally didn't ready the inside for lowering the top and trashed a few things inside..I have a pop up and many people I know ask.....hey can I barrow it for the weekend.....UM.....NOPE....SORRY.....This is a great series too Joe....TY for your vids
Great job Joe and Melissa! Accepted a job offer today, so no longer idle for 9 months Come Monday!!
Good looking helper you got ther Joe, I'm sure you spend as much time with him as you can. I'm in my 70's and I still can remember working in the "shop" with my Grandpa.
have been a wonderful renovation
Melissa - You sure are one lucky gal to have someone so hard working and attention to detail! Well Done!
I truly am!
awesome project. great work
Very Nice Joe, you are very detail oriented and very caring father. You always remind me of my parents. I got huge respect for you. May God bless you and your family.
I was stationed in Grand Island, La. U.S. Coast Guard back in 1966-1967. Can't wait to see you guys there. Love your Louisiana video's. I lived in Morgan City for about 25 yrs.
Douglas Ayliffe I from houma.. my buddy is an MK1 in Dulac for you guys
Man yu made it look good. My brother just picked up a High-Low and I'll have to show him this video.
One thing I have always liked is your including family in your vids. I have grand kids as well , they truly make it all worth while.
That old english wood restorer is great stuff. I used it on the weathered front door of my house and two years later I can finally notice it starting to fade again. I'll probably just reapply, since it's done such a good job. Since the parts inside your camper won't have the moisture or UV exposure of my door I'd expect it'll last a long long time.
A few years ago there was a product called Liquid Gold that was used to clean and feed and polish all wood surfaces, paneling, cabinets and drawer fronts picture frames etc. I am not sure if they still produce it or not but it was as good if not better than Old English, plus it was sold either in an aerosol spray or in a container like Old English you had shown And also they had a product of same name that was used on stainless steel surfaces.
You are fastidious and so skilled at renovation. Melissa's a lucky woman. Enjoy the trailer after all the hard work you put into it.
Back when I had a popup camper, I made a paper template of the floor, then cut a piece of indoor/outdoor carpeting. It trapped any dirt and sand. After a trip, it could be taken outside and cleaned. No need for adhesives or fasteners. Looked like short nap carpet but can be cleaned with a water hose on the driveway. You are one hard working son of a gun!
I want to complete my late husbands bucket list. Lost him last January. Been searching for something I can afford and something I can handle myself. Just decided that I'm going to be looking for a gently used Hi-Lo. LOVED the video. Got me thinking maybe I can do a camper renovation.
I held on to a buffer from ages 17-25 down here in So. Florida working in the marinas. Fun times. I took me 8yrs to finish but it paid for my entire college tuition, books and rent.
Dude, you are one of the cleaningest people I've ever seen. Good on ya but wow.
You have that trailer looking nice!! One thing I could recommend for you to keep from tracking in sand and dirt on your floors is a boot brush to put on your step. I have one on my semi and makes a world of difference.. it just mounts on there with two large zip ties.. most truckstops you can find them, otherwise Amazon would have it! Trailer looks sharp and lots of fun! Enjoy!
I just bought a used tent trailer and I bought a bunch of them pool noodles to fill in the gaps. they're very useful in a trailer
They really are.
Nicely done. You got the Hi-Lo looking right smart Joe.
Truly a jack of all trades. It's admirable what a hard working man you are. I watched your work on the parents' cabin, the tent and the trailer. It's amazing how you get to do all those things besides your employment. I wish you good health and all the best..!
Old English should be applied with a cloth. You did an amazing job Joe, like new!
Beautiful job....Enjoyed watching....Dave in SC
I love how you turn these old blotched trailers into enjoyable good feeling little homes! Just amazing!
Nice series on the Hi-Lo. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing Joe. Some great vids to watch.
Awesome job! That woodwork looks great!
Hey joe! Nice to see you got your grandson time. That Old English stuff works great. I touched up a whole stairway with that before I sold my last house.
Great job there. The trailer looks very nice.
You've done a great job in restoring the trailer - it would probably have ended up in a scrapyard otherwise. Now it's got a new life :)
Hi Los are the best, can't understand why they don't make em anymore - we enjoy ours just wish we could still sleep the Grandkids in the table/bed - getting too big and sleeping like puppies/kittens, all curled up on one another!
so sweet to see Xander, he is a sturdy little guy!
A nice rug and the rust spot is no more. 🙂
I really like your project videos because of how you do things right - nice job.
Another great video!
This Hi-Lo has been professionally "Joeized".
Great job Joe! !
Looking good! The work is almost all done gonna be time to enjoy it.
Great video Joe
great stuff mate. let the good times roll. take care stay safe . love to the family.
looking good joe! nice work
Awesome video Joe !!
Great job Joe
well put. keeps your baked potato from rolling off your plate
That’s a really nice camper Joe, you have it looking real good. Nice to pull long distances too. Thanks for sharing with us.
We've had two HiLos, and had to replaced the end caps and window on one, but nothing like what you did! Good on ya! Enjoy - you did a great job.
you are so good at this!
Nice job Joe, I thought I was the only one that was as clean as you, lol.
Nice trailer , I've been thinking of selling everything and moving into a motor home or pull trailer . And traveling . Can't believe they don't make them anymore . This would be perfect for what I'm looking for .Grand son getting big . Tell he loves grandpa.
the camper I worked on was weather sealed with butyl rubber . The lowest cost roof caulking that Menards has. All of the penetrations for the awning and other things that were screwed to the exterior. Butyl rubber always stays plyable.
YOUR A HANDY GUY TO HAVE AROUND. LOOKIN GOOD JOE..
Thats very cool.. We had a collapsible Trail Manor 2619 for a while.. Always wondered about Hi-Lo's... Much prefer our 10 year old conventional 30 footer now though.. Good vids...
Great series Joe!!
Congrats on the new (old) camper, hope all is well with Melissa and that storm moving in, its going to be a mean one, its named after my wife...LOL!
Pleasant coupla days bloke. Good job and fun .Avagud'n Joe.
Old English Oils should be put on at least once a year, preferably twice a year. It does make a difference in the looks.
On those metal parts like for the propane bottle support and the rear bumper after you got most of the rust off, you should have put a coat of Rust Reformer before the final coat. It'll make them last years longer.
u got it looking good man love ur videos
keeping the taters from rollin off the table is a good thing looks like u got a new foreman better put him on the payroll before he gets away take care joe lookin good
that trailer would be nice for those duck hunting trips
I didn't know you had this channel. I subscribe to your other channel so I hope you don't mind me subscribing to this one as well. Great camper! We have an Aliner and we love it! Thank you for sharing!
Welcome Paul. I have only mentioned this channel a couple times in videos on Joe and Zach and mainly just in the comments. On this channel I have most of my Louisiana stuff and I can do different things that do not fit in with the fairly set schedule of seasons and videos on Joe and Zach.
Have some good times together 💐
Joe, about the Teflon tape.... Isn't it funny that the ones who know it all, don't know it all lol. love how you handle people like that. Top notch youtubing sir!
The rust stain could not live in my world! Flooring is cheap and you seem to have the time. And you know you want to do it...
A rug Ollie, just a rug. Lol I do not have the time, thats just it.
A rug would work, great job bringing this HILOW back to life. Really enjoy when the old can become new again.
You should of used some rust converter for the trailer chassis, converts the rust into a polymer coating that is black and it works a treat!!
Already know it's gonna be a good video
A real man not only fixes things but cleans too!
In that case I am feeling very manly right now. LOL. Thanks Judith.
for the rust spot on the floor go to menards in the cleaning area you can find a brown bottle called wink it will remove rust stains real easy. just wipe it on and wipe it off stain gone.
Oh cool, Thanks Ron I will check that out.
Always glue down vinyl Joe even the supposed soft back no glue. It's a joke not glued guaranteed to mess up. 3rd gen flooring guy.
if you are looking far a few good camping spots I am from west of st. Louis area and I could recommend a few good campgrounds to stay for the night. we have several good state parks and and some core of engineers lakes\parks. I can even recommend my favorite state park that has trout fishing. we go there 4 or 5 times a year with our camping trailer to camp and fish.
Hey Melissa , I know you read these, SO, make sure you have NO tools or cleaning supplies when you go camping, just food, LOTS of beer, and fishing gear, or you will never get to fish or have any time with Joe LOL
Sanding the rusty butt tongue but leaving the iron stain on the floor like that!? C'MON MAN! lol good video as always Joe
Looks like you got a new gig detailing camping trailers. I got a 1990 Starcraft will be there on Thursday! ;)
Slow down Cowboy
The only thing I can say is that you are amazing watched alot of your videos your grandchild is gorgeous love him when do you get some rest melissa is a very lookie lady you are a great homemaker thank you
That's turning out to be a nice little place! I can't believe they don't still make them. I'd rather have one of those than a pop up. I've seen some really nice pop ups, but only canvas between you and the great outdoors. I'm sure noise, light and animals could be a downfall of sleeping over your imagination. LOL
thanks joe I got a hilo thats been some good information
joe get some 1 x 8 about 12 inches long to use under the level jacks that help in soft areas
Did you check the wheel bearings? Very nice camper. Easy job putting in a floor. Make a template, buy a piece of laminate, put template on top of laminate & cut it. All done. Good Luck, Vinny 👍
Love the channel! You should meet at Bass River resort and do a float trip. I will be home from June 27 until July 12, would love to meet you two and do a float trip.
U do nice work.
You sure made that trailer look like new!
You do nice work.
A weak/mild acid solution would likely take care of that rust with minimal effort.
Great job Joe. I don't know what you paid for the trailer but you could probably make some decent money on it if you flipped it. Those Hi-Lows are an interesting set-up.
I Love this I would love to see you out in this showing her off she is Beautiful
She looks just about road ready Joe. Hey btw have you checked the condition of the wheel bearings & tires yet? Electric brakes should be in order too. Happy travels!
Good Point
Joe, you have more cleaning products than my wife has hair and makeup products! That's a bunch! Her stuff is probably way more expensive though! :(
Dammmnnnn I am done toooooo ! How bout that land up some river neer you !
I bet you could try the buffing compound on the rust stain on the floor.
Everything's looking really clean and ship-shape - or should that be trailer-shape!! atb,snack.
Better put the curtains back or make some for the bathroom windows as well.. could be slightly embarrassing when you stand up to wipe... Not to mention maybe wax the aluminum and fiberglass on front and back, and Both sides.. Better water drainage.. and as far as passing the OCD test.. I would have replaced the flooring with some left over wood flooring from some of your jobs.. " I mean what does 20 square feet cost ?? " (If That) haha just a few thoughts..
The front and back windows have Venetian blinds. They are just all the way up inside now.
You have passed my OCD Test.....Good job
Just need to hit the outside of the trailer with that compound and the buffer
Next video...wax on wax off
LIKE
Good Answer
whatever he work on dude is going to do it right
Level great idea
He was so little what a cute
Put some throw rugs in there. Problem fixed
I live just south of St. Louis. Near pevely and festus.
My brother owns a Thai food restaurant in crystal city. You should stop there and eat. It's called Thai Rama.
Great job Joe! Hey put a fire extinguisher in that kitchen just to make this old man happy. :) Why not Arnorall those tires?
Hi-Lo campers are being made again in Transfer, Pennsylvania. They do have a website (www.hilotrailer.com) maybe you could contact them about a seal. Just thought I would pass on the info .
Thank u for this video
I just bought a 1985 model and this video will come in handy. Another way I will seal Gap is to remove old damaged wood and widen against wall usingbducken screws that will have wood buttons so if someone wants to Hilo they can by temporarily removing trim
I'm curious of the tubes you bought for plugging the gap to keep the little bugs out, can't those be pushed down and out of the way and just left there to go up and down with the top?
That is where the TV was designed to go but I think I'm going to see if mine can go up front in the window. My Hi-Lo is a '94 and has the same floor plan but I think my area up front is bigger. My table also closes and is flush with the wall cause it recesses into the wall.
You have done a great job of cleaning it up. Thanks for sharing.
