Hi: All...Just to complicate matters there is a stickie built trailer called "Outback" by "Keystone"or "Kodiac" I think!!! I don't know if names were ever registered trademarks or not.

And then there's THIS Trillum, as shown in the Recently Updated Entry at the Rigorously Fact-Checked E-How website: How to Restore a Trillium Camper | eHow.com
For purposes of positioning on the flow chart, can anyone identify the location of the smoke-spewing factory in the background? Perspective in the photo indicates that it was taken in the staging are where fresh-off-the-assembly-line Trilliums like the one pictured await their new owners....

How to Restore a Trillium Camper
By Mark Spowart, eHow Contributor updated: February 15, 2011


Trillium Trailers were first manufactured in the 1970s.
First produced in the 1970s, Trillium Trailers are small fiberglass travel trailers that were easily identified with an emblem of a Trillium flower on the outside of the camper. Restoring vintage campers is giving once old and discarded campers like the Trillium Trailers a new life. When done correctly, you not only gain an updated functional camper, you will have also increased the value of the trailer. Your restoration project will be determined by how much work needs to be done. A full restoration project requires you to strip the Trillium Trailer right to the bare walls.

Man! I wish I had that 6 step rebuilding guide when I rebuilt mine last year. I kinda wonder if the author has ever seen a trilly?

[Raz]

Doesn't matter if they can spell Trillium. Every time someone goes there, they get paid. ehow and about are useless sites. Just enough information to get you in deep dodo.

Ah, Francesca, the picture looks like you should add "Trillium (Russia)" to the flow chart Oh dear!

p.s. If Raz sounds a tad testy, he's just tuckered out! Just finished building and installing kitchen cabinets & countertops for us ... including The Dreaded Plumbing It's all bee-u-tiful

Hi: Francesca Knowles...Don't forget about "Da Trill a Da Hunt". Some times that's the best part.
I found my Trill., on Blueberry hill is our theme song. OK..."Going to my room now".

Theresa,

My apologies for having erred in separating the syllables in Bobwarr- "crayons" is a new medium for me and I was at times overwhelmed by its complexity...
There's an interesting history attached to The Bobwarr Fence, and I go into it in some detail during the Live Presentation that accompanies the above mapchart.
It really isn't possible to do the story justice here. An effective rendering requires the use of a pointer, sweeping gestures, a full-size world globe, volunteers from the audience, and odd bits of furniture (these last to be flung around at strategic points in the narrative).
In the interest of International Relations, however, I think it's important to state that the Bobwarr Fence was erected NOT to keep people Out of The U.S.of A. but to keep Americans IN. As any student of "really really secret international goings-on" can confirm, it came to be built as a result of the combined efforts of all the nations in the world save One to "get the Nosy Parkers to stay home and mind their own business".

Results have been mixed.

Superb map but it is missing the Jubilee part of the Trillium legend! I mean, it must be a legend and not a real thing. After all, just some weeks ago I talked to Tom and described to him my Jubilee and he kind of insisted that no Jubilee with large side windows, rounded corners was ever produced by Trillium yet... recently I came across an add that showed something my Jubelee used to be! BTW. When I found it, it was gone for ONE week

"Trailer - $1200 -very light, electric brakes -10 ft long at floor x 6 ft wide at widest point (51” at wheel wells) -new 12 volt wiring, front to back, LED tail lights, 7 pin plug, 2” ball -30 amp 120 volt electrical service, 3 x 4ft fluorescent lights, -includes awning and trailer dolly"
