New Owner of a Trillium 4500
Well, for better or for worse, we are now owners of a '79 Trillium 4500. To my uneducated eyes, she looks like a gem. What do you think?

I'll be towing my 4500 with a '09 Forester. From what I've read as far as the towing capacity vs. the weight of the Trillium, I think I am well within tolerances. Thoughts?

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I'll be starting a new thread with pics. I bought a '79 Trillium 4500 that is (in my uneducated opinion) in excellent condition. Take a look and see what you think.
