Hi, I'm purchasing a 68 lil hobo and was trying to determine what tires I need. I wasn't given any info and can't find a manual or anything to assist me. Any info at all about the lil hobo would help.
Thanks,
Amanda

Is there any chance that you can look at the tires on it and write down the size? It should be on the side of the tire. If it has no tires on it, if the wheels are gone as well.. I am sure that someone will chime in and give you some more info.. I surfed it and did not come up with anything either..
Welcome to the Forum..

Welcome Amanda!
The best thing is to look at the old tires, if they are there. The old sizes can be converted to today's weird metric numbers. I'm guessing the wheels are 13" if it is "little"...

 to VTT. It appears Lil Hobos come in different sizes so I agree with the others that the best idea would be to check the tires on it for sizing. If they are dry rotted and not safe for towing, you might have to plan on the additional time it will take to remove the tires and take them to the nearest tire place to get new ones put on the rims and then return them to the camper before you start the trip home. I hope your camper is one this size. www.tincantourists.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=2605&title=hobo-3f-3f-3f-3f&cat=506#.VVx-uWd0xMt

Thanks, we got the camper home! Does anyone know if say Menards sells the panels for the ceiling? There is no water damage but it seems like from the heat the paper on the plastic panels has detached.
