I am getting back to this yet again. Does anyone who lives in the lower mainland have a later model 1300 with a factory installed porch lamp I can take a look at? I am thinking to install one that has the switch on the inside of the trailer and wouldn't mind taking a look at the whole setup for reference.

Here's another outside view from the Gallery. Thanks to whoever posted this pic, I forgot to right their name down.
Looks original to me. But I could be wrong!
Embiggens really well when you double click!

I'll be darned! So the top of the light does line up with the top of the window frame! This makes sense as it would make sense esthetically. Thanks guys! This gives me a lot to go on.

David, can you please tell me how many inches or mm the right side of the porch light from the edge of the door frame? Also, upon reexamination of the straight edge from the window to the top of the porch light it appears that the porch light is a touch higher. Can you confirm or deny this? Thanks.

Yeah, that way when I sell my trillium I can tell the unsuspecting buyer that it was factory installed :-|

I will measure the distance to the door tonight, but the board in my picture is sitting on the top of the window frame, and the light. I see the apparent gap between the board and the top edge of the window nearest the light. I will take the same picture again, but my memory of the event was that it was nearly exactly the same height.

I'm pretty sure that the factory tolerances for the installation of the light varied greatly from Trillium to Trillium as does most things on these trailers.
While I respect your desire for perfection, in an imperfect world it is extremely hard to obtain.
I'd mount it and move on, I won't tell anyone if it is not perfect!

99.99% if all people who see a vintage all molded towable wouldn't know if the tail lights are original. The chances of noticing a porch light is 1/2" off is waaaay less than zero....
"Look Gladys, a porch light that's in the original position." Never gonna happen....
Camp on!

And, maybe the original owner asked that it be placed slightly to the left during the build.

What do you think of this as a porch light?
