New Trillium 1300 owner from Victoria, BC

Hi everyone.

My wife bought this Trillium 1300 with front bunks recently in Victoria, BC. It's a nice little unit but needs some minor work.

This is the stuff we'll be tackling (not necessarily in order of priority):

- get a more capable tow vehicle. My 4-cylinder Chevy Tracker won't cut it.
- reseal all windows. There's a pooling of water on the left-hand side of the front bunk. I'm hoping the leak is from the front window and not the belly band. I've been reading a thread already about how to do reseal the windows and while the job itself doesn't seem too intimidating, I'll be asking questions about the best place to buy replacement supplies (screws, butyl tape, etc) at Canadian retailers.
- install new roof vent. Existing one is original and while it works it's ugly.
- fix minor spider webbing in a couple of places.
- new awning.
- all new upholstery including foam. The new owner (my wife) intends to sew new curtains.
- check furnace and stove. Stove has surface rust and pitting so I may replace it.
- Replace broken right taillight. I found the replacement ones on Fibreglass RV Parts, Repairs, and Service by Paul Neumeister

I hope we haven't taken on a big project but I guess it's like any classic vehicle. No matter what happens it'll be a smaller project than my camper van.

I am having an awning made for my 13' Ventura. Should have it next week.
Will post a pic later.
I could have had a bag awning but decided to have one that comes on and off.
Adhered the extrusion with 3m 4000UV. It won't come off.
Again, good luck.
Nice thing about these little guys is it doesn't take long to get things done. Do one thing then another and bingo, finished (well for now)
Always something to do even if its just a wax job.
Go and ENJOY

Hi mods.

I just realized I posted two intro topics saying the same thing. I thought my computer was acting when I posted yesterday.

I don't have the option to delete my topic so please feel free to delete or combine this one with my other topic.

Thanks!
