  • Check out my 1975 Trillium 1300! This is my 13ft fibreglass trailer. I gutted and renovated it myself in just 9 days! In this video I take you on a full tour of the trailer, explain what I added and left alone, how I did everything and where I got all the materials.

    You are laugh out loud funny! So enjoyed your honest humor and cute trailer, I'm an old lady (over 70) with a tiny Scamp trailer so really appreciate your Trillium. Thanks for the tip about the bed tray! I have one and never thought to use it in my trailer until your video. I also keep my bed up all the time and have sometimes have one of our 4 dogs camp with me. Keep doing what you love and you'll always love what you're doing 😉

    By far the nicest interior I’ve seen on one of these small fiberglass campers. It’s beautiful, serene, feels spacious and relaxing, yet has everything you need and more. Also like how the guest “quarters” are made so comfy, pretty and practical. Nice job! (The only thing I don’t personally like is that whole pee situation.)

    Nice work that you have done. I use a Raspberry Pi 3b as my computer with a portable TV that also plays DVDs. A router is installed to create a private network, then devices such as Raspberry Pi, IoT devices and security devices, like video monitoring/motion detection (MotionEye with a Raspberry Pi). I also have 2 AGM batteries and 140W solar panel to power everything.

    This but plus a composting toilet that separates the liquids from the solids. I'd want some kind of showering option. I could do upper body stuff and feet at a sink but I would serious want a wet bath. i've considered rather a smaller size van buildi, but simpler than what most people have. I am well versed in alternative ways of cooking so a camp stove or just one burner would be no big deal. I lived four years of my life in a dorm and in places where I might not be able to use the kitchen so had to make do with microwaves, hot pots, plug ins skillets and camp stoves. I would want a farm house sink with a sprayer faucet that could be pulled into an adjoining tiny wet bath or even outside. I have seen those and I think they're great. One woman had that at her sink and then a pull out hose in the back of her wan and curtains for places she could shower "outside". I also saw a great "no build" where a woman had a water tank but had light weight stuff that was easy to set up outside.I thought that was really awesome. I personally would like a sink though where I could wash up and then a composting separate liquids from solids toilet so you don't have to have a black water tank, only a grey tank. I would need AC and I didn't see that in the no build. It would be hard to not have AC

    @patrickdove3191 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hey - looks great! We have a 1973 trillium. Just wondering how you were able to move up the propane stove, sink, and faucet so that it could be level with the plywood counter-top? Also, how did you mount the backsplash? There's an indent in the middle of the fibreglass so I'm assuming you put up a flat sheet of plywood first? Thanks!

    • @LaurenRudick
      @LaurenRudick  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey- on my instagram highlights I showed how. I stuck a piece of wood on the indent. I saw some folks just glueing the backsplash to a foam core board and then using double stick tape to get it on the fibreglass.
      We cut a new hole for the sink and faucet and chucked it in.

    The interior of your Trillium is stunning like something out of Architectural Digest(or at least Better Homes & Gardens). The suitcase solar panels might be a good option since there's no installation. I appreciate your transparency regarding life in a camper trailer. Thank you for the tour. What kind of paint did you use for the interior walls? How has it held up?

  • @wwz1011
    @wwz1011 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Battery charge will last less than a day if it runs the fridge. Your choice of running it on propane is good. That lower fridge vent door is important. Without it, rain will enter the trailer. Directly under the fridge is a piece of plywood. Under that piece is the plywood that makes up the main floor. You do not want rot in the main floor. The Trillium design makes floor rot very difficult to fix. Prevention is the key.

    Your trailer is almost exactly what I would do if I had one. I watched a vid of someone that did a Boler remodel and where you now have your couch, they built a wall across that area, 3/4 on the sink side was made into a tiny toilet/shower area and the other 1/4 on the front door side into another closet area. So if I took your style and their layout BOOM! perfect trailer for me. I also LOVE your lantern. Oh, and Shein has a pee funnel for women for like two bucks that might be easier to pee into and you can also just use it to pee into a jug instead of draining it onto your friends lawn. If you are still having problems with peeling paint in your cabinets, try sanding it down and using marine paint. What do you use for heat?

      Backsplash plywood could probably be attached using contact cement. Inside the top cupboards there is also access to go behind the wall with 3/4 " pine strips ,possibly 18" long, that could be held in place while the backsplash is screwed to them (predrill holes for the srews).
