Something to think about... HiLo is not being made any more, so used are the only units available and parts may be an issue.

TM units are lightweight and easy to set-up. One person can set up in a few minutes. The mechanism are spring loaded torsion bars located beneath the frame which when unlatched lift the two roofs with some assistance from a person. All aluminum hard shell walls, floors and roofs. My wife can set up by herself in 10 minutes. After the roofs are raised and the door is put in position, everything else is the same for any other tow behind RV. The hard panel bath walls are stored in place on hinge rails and can be set up in seconds. The beds are stored over the living space and slide out towards the front and rear ends with relative ease.

Pros- lightweight, trailered overall height is 5ft 5 in. Does not require a sway bar and In most cases, does not require a WDH. Some models have a king bed configuration, with a swing hitch which pivots the hitch to the side after it is parked allows many models to be stored in a standard home garage.

Cons- 6 gallon limited black tank. All storage space is below counter height while trailered. Narrower than conventional RV at 7ft. 7 in wide. Parts support is directed to limited number of dealers. Light weight construction has its issues if not maintained. Is not practical for full time RVers. Latched roofs do not allow for ease of access while towing on the road. No bathroom breaks....
