This video is about 1974 Trillium Trailer walkthrough This is a video of our 1974 trillium what we have done to it and just a walk in and around the trailer
They were the best trailers ever made imo, I remember my grandparents picking up my brother and I every summer as kids and traveling across Ontario going from campsite to campsite on our way to their farm for the summer. Best times ever, would love to find one to restore for my grand kids.
We Love this little trailer we attend meets. They can be a pain to get parts for. But we do love it. Our Grand Kids love it we let them sleep in the yard with it when they visit.
@@Supermankev2001 yeah they are old for sure, but fiberglass lasts forever lol, they are also so expensive to buy now, a 1974 is going for $14.000 and up, it's crazy.
@@Monkey_Snot I was looking just a little while ago I said to my wife take a stab at how much it would cost to replace the old trailer? It's crazy how much they are going for now. I took the trailer to my local trailer dealer to have two new tires put on it. When I went to pick it up I dropped it off on a Friday and when I picked it up the manager told me to get that trailer out of here I got 57 calls over the weekend wanting to know how much the little trailer cost no calls for anything else lol.
One of your old videos just came up on my feed Kev ! This is a nice little unit and very easy to haul. It has everything you need for a comfortable night which is all we need ! Well done buddy. Cheers. Eddie
Because of Covid we have not been able to get out . I will be posting more trailer content . Check out this video czcams.com/video/0i9Z5gwAkq0/video.html
I think so too. They have more room than a boler and I think they look better Thanks for the comment I will be putting out at least one more video with some mods I have done. Thanks for the kind words and the sub.
Thanks so much! We were just talking yesterday saying how much we hope we are able to go camping this summer But with Covid we Donn't know thanks so much for your comment .
They are hard to find because a lot of people look for them but if you look around you might find one. They go around 5000 to 10000 depending on how they are for condition
I will have to check out those videos. I am planning on posting more trailer videos next summer with Covid we did not end up going anywhere except my back yard check that video out lol.czcams.com/video/0i9Z5gwAkq0/video.html
I believe that style door lock came later, 1977 and newer, maybe 1976. Serial number on the data sheet should line up with those years, over on the fiberglass RV forum. Nice to have the original furnace, mine was removed by a prior owner. LED lighting is a good move as it reduces electrical consumption by about 90%!
We plan on doing a renovation on ours as well . This one has been in our family a long time was my parents now it's mine. We really like attending the vintage trailer meets and Fiberglass meets. Id love to see your project . We have many ideas for ours .I will be posting more camping and trailer videos come summer I hope.Check this video out this was the extent of our camping this past summer.czcams.com/video/0i9Z5gwAkq0/video.html
I will have to figure out how to get some pictures to you , i have it off the frame and all the windows out , new axle etc . We dont live far from you ( Oshawa)
Here is a link to another video I made of my sisters trailer it is closer to your 11 foot czcams.com/video/Jyw_JVaO26o/video.html I am planning on posting more trailer content in the summer .Thanks for checking out my video.
I like the gas gage but better yet Walmart sells tanks with valves built in that tell you how much fuel you have by the depth. More accurate I think. I changed out all the incandescent lights and replaced with LED lights. I think I got them through Banggood in China.The LEDS were flat groups of white daylight leds on a backing that had a self adhesive side. That went into a replacement light assembly that was exactly the same as the original. The plastic had become really fragile. Anyway I took out the incandescent socket and glued in the LED array. Much nicer lighting than the yellowish incandescents and much brighter. Our Trillium was the 15 foot model and so glad we got one that length. We are tall people. Beside the door below the nick nac bag I cut a hole in and installed a 12 volt fan. That is connected to power through a heat sensing switch I installed by the furnace to pick up heat. As the furnace warms up the switch comes on and moves the warm air around much better. We live in a climate that gets pretty cold in the winter so more heat was a big plus. One more thing I did was install a used 70 watt solar panel on the roof and a charge controller in an area above the sink. Our 15 footer layout was different than your 13 footer. Those are most of the changes I can think of. I am a ham radio guy so I did ad an outside aerial connection to a bracket on the roof. The bracket was a part of the support for the solar panel. By the way the power drawn in by the panel always gave us plenty of power to run the led lights at night. My choice of charge controller was a mistake. It made a buzz on my ham radio during day time. There are better choices, ones that deliver quiet power. That's about it. VA7DH/73
What a fantastic comment. I bet your trailer would have been great to camp in. Does the 15 ft have a toilet? I like the idea of solar. I am VE3KFV . 73s
I saw a new one at a rally some things I liked but other things like the covered windows our older one has I liked better.Our trailer only weighs 1500 pounds so easy to pull . Often I will un hook it from our car and push it where I want it on the camp site .Thanks so much for your comment .
With this home isolation going on I think our camping might be very limited this year . My wife and I where talking about a funny video coming soon with the trailer. keep an eye out for it . Thanks so much for watching and commenting really means a lot .
At this point, it is not For Sale but we are considering getting a new trailer and letting the old one go. It is 1200lbs it is very easy to tow. We took it out to NovaScotia with our Kia Sportage.
Yes your right on that the prices of these has gone through the roof . Keep looking you will find one. Find try looking on the fibreglass trailer web site there are trailers that come up for sale . We just love ours and really enjoy camping with it . Good luck in your search I am sure if you keep looking you will find one.
They can be hard to find. Especially one in good shape. I have seen them from 1500 dollars to 20,000 depending on how much has been done to them . Generaly around 7000.00 is the price they go for around here.
Great video!! Thank you!
Thank you
👍👌❤🇨🇦, inherited my dad's 1977 17' Boler back in 1997, I love Trillium and Bolers, thanks for the viewing
We recently sold our little trailer to a guy who offered more money than I could say no to. Now I miss it so bad.
@@Supermankev2001, yupI ha e friends that did the same, and have regretted it forever, all the best in your adventures
@@pocketchange1951 Thank you I think another trailer would be nice

@@Supermankev2001 lol oh wow, well it is an antique now, so yeah lol
Nice video, love these trailers, do you think $14,000 Canadian is too much for one?
That is what they have been selling for the old ones are very popular hard to find

They still make these only with more options like aluminum chassis .
I saw a new one at a rally some things I liked but other things like the covered windows our older one has I liked better.Our trailer only weighs 1500 pounds so easy to pull . Often I will un hook it from our car and push it where I want it on the camp site .Thanks so much for your comment .
You might have to go north and use the logging roads for camping this year. I’m sure you have seen a lot of the continent in your home on wheels.
With this home isolation going on I think our camping might be very limited this year . My wife and I where talking about a funny video coming soon with the trailer. keep an eye out for it . Thanks so much for watching and commenting really means a lot .
is this for sale- what is the dry weight?
