Maintenance & Restoration

I have been trying to post a listing for our 1975 Trillium for a few days, and just can't figure it out, so I found the post new thread and still not sure if this is correct. I would so much appreciate if someone out there could guide me. I have it listed on Craigs list in Ca in Gold Country if you care to see it I have lots of pics.

The post ID in Craigslist is 4420433414

We have a very nice little Trillium for sale. We have had it only about a year, it was a mess and we worked on it to make it a sweet little camper . The improvement's are as follows
New Cushions Covers
New Black out Curtain's
New Roof Vent
New complete brake assembly
New Tires
The Heater did not work but I found one on Ebay that was NOS and it worked on our first trip then stopped I have talked to a propane person and he said that it was nothing major, even though it was a NOS it was most likely just a rubber gasket that is not working correctly .
every thing works , we put new Led lights , new table top, new faucets , it does not have a fridge, we made a door where the fridge was and made shelves in side, perfect for groceries.
porta potty included. This is ready to go camping and is tooo cute.
The only reason that we are selling it is because after a few trips I knew that I wanted a bathroom,
so we got a 16 ft scamp and it was perfect for us.
This Trillium is so easy to tow, you do not notice that it is behind you.
we pulled it with my 6cyl jeep with no problems. Please see pics.

Nice Trillium!
Pros:
Price
Loaded unit for the year
Shelves, front and back
Furnace, it may not be the original, but Trillium installed Coleman furnaces earlier. Do you still have the original?
Fridge, (originally) Did you cut the opening bigger, or is it the stock size? Makes it easier to put one back if it is the stock size.
Optional window in door
Original tail lights
Love those hubcaps

Mods:
Refinished cupboard doors. I never did like the plastic laminate and particle board
Refinished table
Reupholstered cushions, (bottom cushion on the front is different)
Brakes rock!
Do you have a picture of the new vent?

Cons:
Looks like minor blemishes on the road side rear.

I don't think you will have any trouble selling.

I notice that you have a manufactured date sticker on the front. To me those are gold. Any chance of posting a picture of that, as well as one of the data sheet that should be on the inside of your closet door? I would love to ad your trailer to the serial number list:

I agree Dave,

Very Sweet!

My only con would be that the axle looks a bit "TIRED"

Hi Dave , I'm sorry but just got back on the internet and saw your post, Thank you for your response to my add, Sorry but I can not give you any information or pictures as it sold today . I do have the serial if you like but the trailer is gone. The bottom front cushion is different because I purchased the fabric and thought I had enough for all the cushions but did not, I went back to fabric store, no more to be had and could not order, but after all said and done I liked the break in it and it matches very well. We do not have the original furnace , we thought the coleman was original as that was what we removed after we purchased it, and thought we were so lucky to find another. As for the fridge and my husband did not cut the opening any bigger then the original opening. The lady that purchased it today was so very happy just loved it, she drove 9 hours to get here today so that we would not show it to any one else.
Now I just have to figure out how to delete my posts or show it sold, I am so lost on this site but we just love reading all the information and the helpful hints that all of you guys supply to us newbees
