Roof damage, Triliium #136

[Trill136]

Well I got the black bed liner stripped off and 136 is under cover for the winter.


Found several areas with "spider cracks", some chips out of the gelcoat, and a few areas of "bondo" under the paint, which was under the black stuff!

There is lots of minor damage to the roof. Not really an issue because I was planning on doing some extra work to that area anyway.



The first shot show the "oil can"(?) in the rear portion of the roof. The downward deflection is about 1", approx 2.54 cm. - for those that worry about that stuff. The level is across the high spots of the roof, about 3" aft of the main damage.

Hey Min how has your project been coming along?

Evening Steve,

#136 is still in my back yard.

I am working on modifying the front bench into two corners seats with a "multi-use" table.

I need the table to do three separate tasks with minimal "change over" effort.
I need a table to sit at, read, drink coffee, eat when the weather is bad.
I need a table for the laptop to sit on. Almost all the time.
I need a table to use for fly tying. After all, this is going to be my mobile fishing camp.

I am also looking at heating alternatives. One is to use a normal RV furnace. The other is to use a heater like the kind used on sailboats.

I am modifying the exterior a bit. I am trying to develop a "door system" that will solve the issue of water, at the bottom and solve the hinge issues.

I am scouting around for an awning, and, am looking at re-enforcing the wall where that will mount.

In the next couple of weeks I will try to get the shell off of the frame. I want to get that totally inspected. I would like to get a new axle, perhaps with a larger tire. (?)

I have laid up new fibreglass for the roof repair, but, need to wait for warmer weather before continuing with that part.

It has been pouring rain when I could work on the trailer, and, I have been working (at work) when the weather has been good. My timing is a bit off!!

LOL! Problem solved, just build a big beautiful shop to work on it in.

Seriously what type of heater do they put in sailboats?

Completely off topic question, if nobody minds...

How do you know that your Trillium is "#136"?

Is there some sort of code in the VIN???

Thanks!

Francesca

The number I used on the serial number list 13-6. I suspect this may actually be Trillium #6. I would love to see a complete set of pictures. I am especially interested in the door latch. Also, the interior layout. Gord, If you could post a comprehensive set of photos, including frame details, I would be very grateful.

Maybe a sardine wood stove? They look nice but very costly

Hi Min - I'm glad this thread was resurrected, I was searching all over for it a few months ago but wasn't using the right search terms. I thought you might be interested in my work on my roof sag - same era trillium:

Winter came, so my final coats were put off. We will have it sanded and painted in spring though
