    Andrew,

    Sorry for taking so long to reply, and you have probably dealt with everything by now, but feel like it is necessary.

    The 14" rims that I put on my trailers are circa 1997 Ford Ranger rims. I personally prefer the style that has the holes around the circumference, but the more common style I call the deer hoof style. You will know what I mean when you see them. I sure hope they don't need to be hub centric. I have had to grind out the center hole to get them on. They seem to ride OK.

    Joe Thoen and I have a complicated relationship. I have not had any complaints about the quality of their work. However I have seen stuff that they got someone to pay for that was just a bad idea. Other stuff that I might say could get me in legal trouble. However, you are correct, he has a large selection of parts that are appropriate for Trilliums.

    Paint is not my strong point, but if you plan to keep your trailer, then a two part, (epoxy?) paint makes sense. Not cheap though.

    Hi David!

    I was given you name as a Trillium Expert in Calgary :-)

    Would love some help with sourcing parts and information if you can help please....?

    I just took ownership of a 1999 Outback Trailer. Looking to change to 14in Rims as have heard they will be better.... do you know where I can get some nice alloys from or steel with chrome caps? I also wonder if these need to be hub centric?

    I have connected with Joe at Trillium Trailers in East Calgary and have mixed reviews on his work etc.... maybe for parts he is better for reviews?

    I have connected with little camper painter as need a tv antenna removed and repaired.... I feel i am pretty handy in general so feel confident to do much work myself...

    My trailer is cream all over but considering painting the bottom or what ever colour solution is out there..... not sure if a gel coat option is better or not, what are your thoughts on this please?

    Many Thanks for your time,

    Andrew
    Calgary
