My two side windows at the rear are pretty worn out. Undecided about what to do with them.
I replaced the original roof vent with a new, larger one with a tinted lid.
The door was completely destroyed and after a year of looking at it, I scrapped it and modified another to work. Now I have a door with working/lockable latch and dead bolt, a sliding window with a screen and a screen door.
I added an awning onto the roof. I mounted it onto a 2" X 3" aluminum angle.
I am currently adapting a set of 'scissor' type jacks (Princess Auto, $10.00 a piece) I can operate them manually, or, I can use a battery drill to raise and lower the trailer.
Because I added the extra 3 inches I was able to re-position the axle so that the arms are now in a 'following or trailing' orientation. This is completely opposite from the way that the unit was originally built.
I now have some extra ground clearance and a little bit smoother ride.
I got new rims and tires at the same time.
I had to do a fair bit of 'glass work. A tree had punctured the roof and caved in a portion
I have rewired it completely and changed all the lighting to LEDs. These run off of a pair of deep cycle batteries mounted in a box on the tongue.
I have replaced all of the cabinet doors inside.
Mine are the solid plexi 'bubble' type windows. They had leaked significantly for previous owners and both front and back had cracks in them.
The rubber seals were/are pretty much toast. But I did manage to get them sealed and waterproof. There were no rock guard/awnings on either front or back.
I made a set that work quite well from some aluminum channel and some polycarbonate roofing material.
I have a 100 W solar panel mounted on the rear one.
I lifted the shell off of the frame, removed the old axle wire brushed the frame and added a 2" X 3" steel rectangular tubing. I added it to basically make the frame flat along the bottom surface.
Since I was replacing the axle anyway, I ordered a #3500 lb one and have the adjustable swing arms on the spindles. I have these set to approx 22 degrees down.
Hi Tim,
My name is Gordon. I have a Trillium 13. It's number is 13-6.
I am assuming that they were probably built pretty close together.
Mine has had several owners and a lot of mistreatment.
I have gotten it back to usable and have had it out on several trips last year.
thx
