Trailer Reveal: What Did I Get?

After a long search, I finally made up my mind on a new (uhm... new to ME at least) trailer. Here's what I now own, and what I plan to do to it!

Oh still my beating heart! A Trillium ❤️. I bought a refurbished vintage 1976 one and adored “Bertie”. Unfortunately health issues required a different type of rig. I also paid full price for a needle in a haystack here in Ontario. She sold in under 24 hrs to a young family who lived hundreds of miles away. She is well loved still. Slim...after owning my RT for awhile and limited road miles I am convinced simpler is better. Unreliable gauges and stupidly engineered systems will never satisfy an owner who knows better. You got a goldmine my friend. So happy for you. 🥳🥳🥳

[@janebray9392]

Hubby and me own a Taylor Coach, custom made in Millgrove Ontario..made with only what you want in it!!!

[@marcpikas2859]

@@janebray9392 I find their product well made from watching their videos. However I wanted to pay for better spray-on insulation to replace the fiberglass type they use and they could not accommodate such request. Slim's move to buy locally is probably a wise one though.

[@ftkinsella]

Slim waiting a couple of months to have exactly what you want is definitely worth it. I love the trailer so far but can’t wait to see when it’s finished. Cheers!!!

[@Yourgurtisgood]

F&T patience is a very rare and good skill to have

[@blackeyesforyou]

It's nice to watch someone following their dreams without all the opinion and political rhetoric.

[@voyager4328]

YES !! , Slim is Back ! and there's a Lot more to come, oh Goody.....

[@michaelcolloton6971]

I'm truly glad that you found something, Slim. Your camping style and mine are remarkably similar with a couple exceptions: I'm slightly claustrophobic and have a 75-pound dog. This trailer would absolutely not work for us, but I have no doubt that in a matter months you'll have all of us small camper people totally amazed. Congratulations!

[@cgvoxakis]

I don't own a trailer or an RV, I have never owned, nor do I ever plan on owning one. All of that being said, I couldn't wait to see what Slim got!!!

[@johnsonjameson2926]

I will stay in a hotel as I dont camp out enough to warrant the expenditure. Mr. Potato has his own version of comfort and seems to do a good job putting it together.

[@lynbarnel]

Congrats on finding the Trillium! I've admired those for a while. Excited to see how you make it your own!

[@geographyinaction7814]

When we moved from Ontario to BC in '74, my father bought a boler. It had the front couch which turned into bunks, and they put a small porta-potti inside. It was a fantastic trailer, and we all loved it. They sold it in the mid 1980's, and that sale still comes up as a bone of contention; my family would have loved it too, and to get one in the condition that ours was in, is crazy money!!!

[@virginiatolles1664]

I think you're going to have so much fun, making this trailer the way you want it. You're right. The manufacturers put entirely too much junk, then raise the price accordingly. Better to do it your way.

[@ttwillow9073]

When it all fell in place so harmoniously, you know it's the right one! Congratulations!

[@patrickmclaughlin6013]

Wow, LOVE the new trailer! Going to be a super project.

[@jamespkuzman]

Congrats, Slim! Looks like your hard work and patience paid off. Can't wait to see how the work progresses on the modifications.

[@IANinALTONA]

Congratulations, Slim! Hope you'll have plenty of fun and many exciting trips with your new trailer!

[@toml73]

Great looking trailer Slim. Can't wait to see it when it is done.

[@mimimc8685]

I cant wait to see your trailer completely Slimmed Out!

[@paulaelliott4903]

So happy for you Slim! Congratulations! Can’t wait for your future adventures!

[@JC.Journey]

Excellent choice, my friend! Team Fiberglass Trailers ! 🤙 We love our Escape 15B, the fiberglass mold looks identical to the Trillium. You will love your awesome little trailer, it has a great floorplan. We look forward to following your customizations, modifications & most of all your adventures in this little gem! Congrats on this awesome, hard to come by find!

[@noahcount7132]

Slim, I think you'll be very happy with your Outback once you get it reconfigured to suit your needs. I've owned two of the original Trilliums, manufactured in Burnaby, BC (with the distinctive triskele molded into the door) and loved both of them.

[@raymondschneider5217]

So excited you've found your "new" project, Slim; I look forward to seeing your mods (you're super creative!). The new galley will be a great improvement. Y'all Be Safe!

[@kinglemon4165]

Waiting for what you want is well worth it, Slim! I can't wait to see what you do with the new trailer, it gives us all something to really look forward to! Loved the video, as always.

[@goodgollyjosh]

Congrats Slim! I dig the new camper. Looking forward to seeing all your mods.

[@johndouma7344]

Thanks Slim, I am happy for you, and I am excited to see your “finished” product. Can’t wait to join you on your adventures. You are my inspiration to downsize my RV and travel this beautiful continent we live on.

[@restlesshomebody]

This is going to be good - I like your build videos a lot! Congrats and yay !

[@livingthelife6284]

It's going to be great to see you do your magic on your new trailer. You jumped right into the alterations. Lots of luck with your new home.

[@thepurplecraftshack3075]

Best wishes on your new home.

[@scottsladeadventures1102]

This is Great..! You are back in your element. Creating, designing and living how you want to live. Bring on the adventure, can't wait to follow along.

[@VanGoWanderlust]

These are my favorite kinds of videos. I love to watch people's thought process as they design their trailer/campers!

[@janebray9392]

Yes!!! I have ordered a custom build, my own design, from Taylor Coach, and a lot of planning of how it would work for me...with only what I want in it!! So I have watched a lot of reno videos, and gleamed some good ideas!!!!

[@stevesussman8784]

Enjoy the journey and reward for your own rebuilding efforts. I recently finished rebuilding a 2004 30 foot class a with 18,000 miles. It is now literally a "muscle motorhome" like a "muscle car." No exaggeration. No expense was spared on high performance mechanical upgrades, paint, furnature etc. People line up and take pictures and ask questions when they see it. It's been fun. I believe you will have and enjoy the same experience I did.

[@danmanx2]

Slim! Glad to see you finally got a trailer. Looking forward to your updates on the work progress! I can't wait! Please keep posting updates!

[@sayeednmb]

I like that camper. I’m looking forward to your new videos.

[@delstanley1349]

I think he saved himself some future pain. We may take for granted how relatively easily it is to raise the roof on the A-Liner. But when a shoulder goes bum for a while (and you're going solo) I imagine it can be a helluva task! That's a step he no longer has to take.

[@g-r-a-e-m-e-]

I agree. I shuddered at the idea of ripping out things that are in good condition. And there are two tables right next to the galley, so why remove a sink? Or a board could have been put over the sink, if you insist. But it's Slim's van, and no doubt he will make a good job of it.
