AB (Canada) - 1980 - Trillium 1300 - $3450

[David Tilston]

If I was in the buying frame of mind, I would be in the car and driving right now. This trailer is severely under priced
An almost loaded 1980 factory front dinette 1300, for $1350?!?!?! No pictures of the shelves, but I assume they are there.

The only missing options are:
Door window, (easy to add)
14" vent, (also not so hard to add)

Weirdly, the upper and lower vents for the fridge are the openable type. Also, the escape hatch is on the wrong side.

I just let Rodre know via PM and email through FGRV. He was looking for one of these for years.

[kootenaigirl]

I was thinking that one looked like a great deal for someone too!

[kootenaigirl]

David (or anyone else), these are pictures of the upper shelves are they original or add ons? I am wavering, really like the front dinette as mine has the bunks!
Someone please buy this trailer!

[kootenaigirl]

Sorry cant post more than 1 pic with my ipad for some reason.

[Roy in TO]

The hardware is original, the slider facings may not be.

[David Tilston]

It all looks original to me. The colonial white mac tack peals off and leaves a 1/8" mahogany plywood.

These are the same style shelves used in the 4500's. In the later years of Trillium they put these in the back of 1300's, but still used the fibreglass shelf on the front.

As of today, the ad is still up.

Thanks David and Roy, I have had some correspondence with the owner who seems like a nice guy.
A road trip is not working right now and my hubby isn't keen on the purchase period so we will see.
I am surprised someone hasn't snapped it up.

[David Tilston]

You pay the gas in my Firefly, (fairly cheep) and I will go tonight. 4hr 40min return.

[Bananaman]

WOW!! Someone is about to get a great deal. That looks like a beauty!
David, aren't you looking at expanding your fleet? I am tempted on this one as well.....

[David Tilston]

My wife would kill me. I like to live.
After I fix up and sell Humpty Dumpty and the Cantaloupe, I would be all over this. All trailer purchases must now come out of the proceeds of sales.

[kootenaigirl]

Thanks David, but we have a bit of a space issue and 3 trailers plus a boat is pushing it or so my husband says! Good job we have our partners to keep us in check!
The owner did say he would bring it part way for gas money.

[David Tilston]

Maybe next time. I love to drive, so if any south of Edmonton, down to the US border come up that you want me to look at, let me know. Please note: It is not that I am a snob, but Trilliums and Biggars only.

[kootenaigirl]

Okay David, I have to ask why Biggars - I have never even seen one and there doesn't seem to be many out there

[David Tilston]

I like the floor plan, they seem well constructed, I have seen them sit, for what I thought was a long time, on kijiji for $1500. If I get a good look at one, I might change my mind. But I am currently interested in the brand.

[LiseKen]

Okay, I'll bite! If you are willing to look at either of these two for me, I will pay the gas. If you can coordinate deposit/purchase, am happy to compensate you for time.

Decisions, decisions.
The 4500 looks to be a deluxe with the window in the door that opens, sleeps 4.
The 1300 is the rare front dinette, sleeps 3.
