78’ Vintage Trillium Trailer - Model 1300

This unit is for sale in our neck of the woods. Other than checking for leaks; and the frame it sits on theirs not much going on with this one. Buy a portable toilet and stove and your off? Anything different to check on a vintage camper when inspectin, the ad states "Amazing condition!!! " but that may be in the eyes of the owner.

    Nice little trailer but you would be paying for someone else's remodeling work (and, at a fairly steep price). Some of these small "egg" trailers have a weak frame design. Checking the frame would be my first step, if interested.

    Imagine my surprise when I clicked on the link. I was expecting a 78' trailer!

    That's a nice little trailer (I can see pics in link) but it seems like a lot of money especially if you have to put parts and work into it.

    Your pic is not showing. However, if you plan on using the unit's propane gas system, check the fittings and hoses to see if they have been modernized with new style valves and connectors. If not, you won't be able to get them refilled without replacing these parts. Even if you buy new tanks, you still have to replace the valve connectors on the trailer itself. Other than that, just make sure all the lights function correctly, and you're off!
