Hello campers. We are really enjoying the challenges of our vintage
Trillium. The info, energy and ingenuity here, is so helpful. Couldn't resist, starting on some "fixes", as soon as we got it home to E. Tex. Hope to post some pics. a bit later of some projects we are working on...antenna on top,
had to go (of course, that will mean a
fiberglass repair, etc.) Roof air has been added. Hand water pump has to be replaced, holding tank is good. Thetford electric toilet is great, but it took us a day or so, to figure out, exactly
how it works. A shower was added, as a matter of fact, evidently the front bunk was removed and this mini bath was added. Not a very finished look, but pretty decent and it is a requirement for the old guy and I. Got some
leaks, that is going to be a challenge. I removed the refrig door, scrubbed and cleaned and scrubbed. I am pondering what to replace the front panel with, and
painting the "surround". I took a Sos pad and Brasso, to the original hardware and uncovered some nice copper patina. I coated the laminate doors and the hardware with poly semi-gloss sealer.
We are trying to stay on a reasonable budget. Also, after years of owning various campers, a small motorhome and big ole toy haulers, we really want to get back to more basic camping. You know, NO elec. can opener,
microwave, elec. coffe pot, etc. We love the petite, lightweight
Trillium, that pulls like it's practically not there and are trying to stay, not exactly primitive, but pretty basic.
Got a question ...would like to do something about the
top of the gas 3-burner. It is white and looking pretty shabby. I don't want to replace the cooktop, it works fine. Any of you brilliant folks have some suggestions? Has anyone ever re-painted a top, with success? Will be searching for answers, 'cause I know you folks have tons of them. Thanks, JO
