Maintenance & Restoration

Rodre · 02-04-2015, 10:00 PM

It is with great regret that I am selling my 1978 Trillium Front Bunk model. This unit has been stored indoors its entire life and it shows. There is no chalky color or things growing out of the fiberglass. I have resealed all the windows and completely re-upholstered the interior professionally. I have the original upholstery as well for those who want it in original condition (minus the curtains). I have Day/Night blinds from Trillium in California (not seen in pictures) to be installed. I have the Trillium logo rims installed (I think only about 5 sets ever produced). This has the original appliances and they all work. It has a spare tire on an fancy aluminum rim (brand new), electric brakes and a retractable awning. It comes with a bunch of other lightly used miscellaneous stuff. I have used it about 5 times since it was completely redone and it has always been stored in a heated indoor garage. I never used it much because I have been mostly out of the country for the past three years. I am moving out of the country, this is the only reason I am selling my baby! I am asking $6950 as there is not another one out there like this one. Located in Langley, BC. I have all the original manuals for it as well.

Where are you located in BC? When were the gas lines last certified? How is the frame, has it ever been inspected?

Thanks,
Scott

Edit; just noticed Langley as location

Hi Scott,

It is located in Langley BC. The frame has no cracks and has the re-enforcements from the factory, despite it not being one of the lighter tubing models that was prone to cracking. Gas line has not been certified but I inspected it using an LP sensor.

You are right, I shouldn't sell it...

Such a sweet trillium! A few questions -- what is the sleeping situation? Bunk beds & then the dinette folds into a double? Is there a furnace or other heating device? Really love it & very interested!

Yes, it is the front bunk model as you described. It has the original gas heater in full working condition. All the appliances are in working condition.

Wow Rod, with all the work you put into it, I am sure you must hate to sell it.

SoloMatt · 02-05-2015, 01:57 PM

I would take really good care of it, though!

I am gonna try to figure out how to PM you.... you can email me at matthewlevin at yahoo.com. I'm in southern california so I would need to drive up there to get it!

SoloMatt · 02-05-2015, 02:01 PM

You PM box is full.

I'd love to drive up there and get it. I would need to plan something like that a little.....

How can we make it work? Also, do you know the exact weight and length?

Let's talk! PM me! Thanks!

Rodre · 02-05-2015, 04:01 PM

Yes David, it really pains me to have to sell it. I have had a really good relationship with it. Never any problems and the few times I had it out were very memorable. I am just trying to make this sale quick and painless.

ClaireWolfson · 02-05-2015, 11:07 PM

Sent you an email via Craigslist. Would love to hear back from you!

Is it set up for four seasons?

David Tilston · 02-06-2015, 10:24 AM

Aaron, A Trillium, like most fibreglass trailers can only be considered a three season trailer. There are some manufactures, like Bigfoot, that offer double paned windows, and extra insulation for winter use.

Trilliums have a fibreglass shell, and less then 1/2" inch of a foam insulation, which has a lower R value then the equivalent thickness of fibreglass insulation. It is mostly to keep the condensation down. The furnace is rated at 7000 BTU, but that is likely optimistic.

I have slept in my Trillium at -17°C. I was cold.
