I was interrupted in the middle of posting and had to leave right away, so there were no interior photos for that reason. I have now added some, and could take more if there is a particular point of interest.

I see your Trillium looks good but you are some distance from us here in S.E. Tennessee.
Do you think you could meet me part way If we could make a deal?
Could you send pictures> email.

Hey Bill,
Im a MILLION miles away from you here in Ca, but I've been quite interested in the seemingly RARE Trilliums of the vintage of yours with the front bathrooms. Now yours is the style that the middle bench folds up out of the way, and you close a couple of curtains or folding doors or something to close off the bathroom, is that right? How do you like it? Do you have other pics of it in 'bathroom mode'? Thanks for any info and pics! Joe

If you're buying a Trillium, are you selling your Scamp 5th wheel?

Hey Bill,
Thanks for the extra pics, gives me more of an idea of how the arrangement works. Im curious though, I don't see any curtains or anything to block the bathroom off while it's 'in use' or anything, is it just open all the time? Or was there maybe a separation at one time but it's long gone?
The reason I ask is I've seen some Trillium brochures, I think on here somewhere actually, and one showed a bathroom arrangement like yours. I THINK it had some kind of accordion type door, but I'm not 100% sure. The other bathroom arrangement they had was where it was just a tiny bathroom basically situated in the corner that your commode is in. I don't know if it had a sink or not. I've seen a FEW with that corner bathroom online, but yours is the first one I've seen with the full frontal bathroom. Don't get me wrong, I do LOVE my Compact II and all, but a little bit of me is looking down the road for the next rig...hehe
Thanks! Joe

I understand there was a bi-fold door that separated the bath area from the rest of the trailer in the closed position and blocked the toilet area in the folded position. I think that probably made the trailer look smaller in either position and bi-fold doors in my experience are a pain to use. I figured I would use a shower curtain rod between the stove end of the kitchen counter and the half wall up beside the bathroom sink to hang a curtain which would give privacy in the bath area and open towards the door when not needed.
We bought this trailer to see how well it towed, and if the bigger bed was worth having(it is) before I spend more money fixing another 4500 I've had for a year now. I didn't do the shower curtain because a potential buyer might want to do something different. We got 19 mpg on the 2.5 hour trip in hilly country with high winds between here and the Emily rally on July 9/07 towing with our 05 Freestar.
