Hi Everyone! My name is Rachelle. I just found this FBRV site and have never blogged about anything in my life! So I'm a complete newbie to not only RVing and Fibreglass but to forums !
I was given my 1975
Trillium in late 2009 by my father, a few months before he passed away. I had used it prior to that time for my Skydiving adventures once my ex-husband decided to end our marriage. So this baby girl is all mine! I also have 2 wonderful children and a new man, Troy who have done some camping with me and the
Trillium.
I've done some updates since I took it my home (Halifax, NS) in late August of 2010, (I will post pictures once I figure this all out). In 2010, new
tires,. bought towing mirrors just enough to bring her from New-Brunswick to Nova Scotia safely. In 2011, she got a new front centre jack (Old side one just rusted away), new chains, new triangle tung box, all new water ins and outs and exterior
electrical outlets, new outdoor
porch light, new break
lights and side
lights. we also installed a new
awning and rail and a rear bike rack insert…. Last year In 2012 she received new sink faucet and new sink plumbing. Gosh I think that is it….haha!
This year (Last week actually) she didn't pass inspection due to a frame crack and rust…. So I guess this is where I am at with all of this… I just brought her to a friends house yesterday and we are going to take a look at it to figure out our next step. I think the frame will need to be pulled out and given a complete overhaul over the winter. She may not be ready for my vacation next week and will have to resort to tenting.
I will post a quick picture of the day took her to her new home. I know there are issues with the hook up and such that have been since rectified…
I'm hopping with the wealth of knowledge I'm seeing on this awesome FBRV Website that I will have some insight from those of you who are willing to share their experiences with a newbie and her new inherited/sentimental
Trillium. Restoration is new to me and I would love all the help I can get! I will post pictures as I go...
