Dale,
Do you have any pictures of what you did with the closet? I was thinking of gutting our trillium to make a larger bed. I like what you've done but not sure how to handle the closet and provide roof support.

Thanks
Keith

I was curious about the closet as well.

I'm curious if you have any of the original parts left over. Been looking for some doors and shelves etc.

I can tell you I saw dales trillium when he happened to show up at the algonac rally the trailer turned out very nice. It looked so comfortable and roomy and what ever he lost in closet space he more than made up with storage under the bed. It gave me some good ideas that I would consider doing on a future project especially if it's a totall gut out. Well done dale hope you can make it to bolerama

Hi all I cut the closet out and left 4 inch of it there to screw the wood beam I made for support. The beam is glue to the trailer as will I need to finich the trimming the cloth around the closet.
Looking forward to campimg at some eggcrambles.

Thats great!! What I pictured from What you described in the beginning is exactly what you ended up with! And I always say do what works for you and makes you happy! Enjoy your trill! Aka love grotto. 😉

Dale, I love your stiffening beam. We have been contemplating removing the closet and cutting the rear half of the kitchen away to facilitate a queen bed. I mentioned it on one of the forums and was informed about the structural integrity of the Trillium 1300 being dependant on the closet and kitchen. Two questions: did you also add a beam on the kitchen side? Have you noticed any ill effects of your modifications? Thank you for bravely forging ahead with this mod.
