bumperettes and owners manual for 1973 1300 Trillium

[JuliusB]

Hi! Just in the process of doing all the body work/prep/painting of our 1973 Trillium 1300....body is off frame and frame is getting sand blasted soon/then metal prep + POR 15. I have a few questions:

1/ did these trailers have "shock absorbers"/black bumperettes? I had a black hard rubber/triangular piece fall from underneath my trailer but have no idea where it came from/where it goes? Any pics and ideas where I can more of themn would be great.

2/ looking for a 1973 Trillium 1300 owners manual (did not see one under the More/Documents section).

3/ does anyone make the decals for our 1973 Trillium? If not, what is the best way to remove them?

I live in British Columbia, Canada.

Thanks for any help in advance!

If you do some searching on this site, you should be able find both the files for the logos, and some of the dealers who might have repro decals Any sign shop should be able to reproduce them from a file, usually an .EPS, which allows them to scale it if it's the stripes, that too can come from a sign shop, where they will cut the vinyl to size. you can buy it online as well.
I got some of my replacement stickers from tom at (parts_at_ trilliumrv.com)

Thanks Donna D. I was looking for more specific info re the Rub-R-Ride independent suspension system that is briefly mentioned in the Chassis section of that manual? If there are 4 rubber mounts/blocks (about a thrid of the size of a plastic stop block for wheels) that fit in between the body and frame of the trailer then where can I get them?

Thanks Joe! Will check both of these out.

Between the body and the frame is a ~1/8" thick strip of rubber that is the width of the frame. I have never seen anything that is, "about a third the size of a plastic stop block" as part of a Trillium frame.

Pictures please.
