Mike, I looked in this thread:
http://www.fiberglassrv.com/forums/f...uxe-54430.html
but I am assuming that you mean another deluxe discussion.
I am really interested in the year. How sure are you that it is 1976. That would make it the youngest 4500 yet. Except for the one on the shop floor of Outback, but I was just guessing at the year on that one.
BTW, I hate to ask, but did they find your stolen trailers?

[QUOTE=David Tilston;376119] Rick, Could you please post a picture of your front gaucho? I am interested in if it is what I call an "almost dinette". The fibreglass seats, but no table. QUOTE]
Actually, I think I said it was a factory dinette, not a front gaucho. It definitely has the table and the double hull at the front (as well as other places in the trailer). You can see pictures I posted in 2011 of it at post #7 of this thread here: http://www.fiberglassrv.com/forums/f55/noob-question-re-towing-w-table-up-47659.html#post262996
I have also heard back from the RVIA. They only keep records of their badge numbers for 7 years, and don’t have anything going back to the 80’s, so no luck there.
Thanks for trying to sort this out,
Rick G

I gotta say Rick, your dinette is not like any other I have seen. Your table is shorter, and the missing piece looks to be under the table, attached to the wall.
Mike, could you please post pictures of the inside of your trailer? I am especially interested in the kitchen.

No, the table actually started out the same as others; it covers the entire width of the bed when placed down on the seat ledges. The previous owners were more portly than us and cut the table in half so they could get in there to sit. I simply attached the two pieces together with hinges and arranged it so it could attach just the half piece that we use to the trailer wall. This lets us use the smaller table, which we find is plenty big enough, and also just have one piece that we can place down on the seat for a bed on the fairly rare occasions when we need the extra bed. The hinges allow the extra piece of the table to hang down at the front of the trailer, so that it is out of the way and we don’t have to store the extra piece somewhere.

My Dad is back at the cottage on Manitoulin, where my second 4500, Launch Pad, is stored. He sent me pictures of the data sheet.
Only a difference of 63 from Life Support, the trailer that we use.

Hey, Dave-
I like how you used a link in some of the owner names!
Puts us right in touch with the details they've posted about their various units...

When I do it at home, I can add the link. At work, not so much.
On edit: OK the difference was Chrome at work and Firefox at home. I have edited the list to include all the links I could find.

Just a minor suggestion: keep the numeric values as well as the colours in the key, along with the position interpretation:
Exterior (first digit) and Interior (second digit) Colours
1 (Black) = Colonial White (for Francesca)
2 (Green) = Green
3 (Orange) = Orange
Floorplans (third digit)
1 (Blue) = Front Gaucho
2 (Red) = Front Dinette
3 (Purple) = Front Bath

You can also force the font to something with a fixed width, to keep the alignment between rows and make it easier to scan down columns:
Default font:
David Tilston:.....13- 2300*609.'73?: Front Gaucho *2300 = imaginary
indigodave:........13- 2202178...'74: Front Gaucho
Richard Hayes:....13- 2202093...'74 Front Gaucho
Francis C:..........13-11 02833...'75: Front Gaucho
Martins HeirCon:..13-11 02981....'75: Front Gaucho (Feb '75)
"Lucida Console" font (with number of alignment "." adjusted):
David Tilston:.....13-2300*609..'73?: Front Gaucho *2300 = imaginary
indigodave:........13-2202178...'74: Front Gaucho
Richard Hayes:.....13-2202093...'74: Front Gaucho
Francis C:.........13-1102833...'75: Front Gaucho
Martins HeirCon:...13-1102981...'75: Front Gaucho (Feb '75)
It was nice when the software running FiberglassRV supported tables.
The list is a great thing, regardless of formatting. Thanks, David

Hey, when I posted my last suggestion on a PC the "Lucidia Console" part displayed in nice columns... but on my tablet the font must not be available, and the substituted font is not monospace, so it doesn't help.

My documentation
My trailer only had the tag under the left front clearance light. It didn't look too sturdy so I took the picture. Luckily I did because when I checked recently the tag was so weathered as to be virtually blank!
Note to Brian: Courier is a constant space font. Every letter takes up the same amount of space.

It should be, but the Courier New offered by the forum does not appear to be.

Hey, David! Once Roger clears up the question numbers, will you start a whole new set of numbers for second-gens?
And to Roger:
Is that the only place on the trailer where the VIN appears, or is Trillium stamping it on the frame somewhere, too? I wondered if maybe it's also on the tongue, for example, as with Scamps...
Francesca

A VIN can systematically parsed. Here's my quick attempt:
1T9 = group of small manufacturers including Trillium RV (starting with "1" indicates United States, ending in "9" indicates a manufacturer of under 500 vehicles per year, perhaps all small US trailer manufacturers are in "T"?)
BV131 = Vehicle Descriptor Sectionthis is the part in which Trillium can describe the vehicle, like the first part of the old serial number (for instance, Load Trail uses the last three digits for length and axle count, which could be how Trillium RV is using the "13" and "1") 6 = check digit
95948127 = Vehicle Identifier Section, further broken down into 9 = model year 2009
5 = ?
948 = specifically Trillium RV, among the 1T9 group of manufacturers
127 = serial number
