1974 Trillium 1300 trailer, Made in Ontario CANADA, bought in 2000 and GOT  a deal at the local GM dealer, they painted it 50/50 cost share and sponsorship,to "match" my '69 SD.  I was going to do the black roof but then I thought where I go..Ashcroft, Eagle motoplex in the middle of the summer, naw, white reflects heat better.  Local shop did the stylized SD stripes and logos and added the chrome wheel well mouldings.

It's pretty basic, 2 burner propane stove, and an ice box  (with much upgraded insulation after the first trip to Eagle !)

As I was doing the look sorta like the car thing, why not, added the Pontiac name plate something 80's 90's I think, and just for an added touch the multi country flag thing from an Olds Cutlass Calais.

Tows very well, that might relate a bit to the changeup to the 14"GM slotted mags from the original 13" Falcon type wheels..

(wish I could figure out the picture sizing.. for the longest time I couldn't even get them to upload, no )

Anyway, now maybe off to visit the car in my son's garage and some pics there ?

Todd, that's just TOO shiney !
My shots were at the last race of the season at Thunder Mountain Raceway, east of Kelowna.
Dusty gravel road in off the highway for about a klick and no water other than what you bring.

1964canso..
Don't know about your bolt pattern, but the Trill is a common one for older trailers, and used an early 13" Ford Falcon pattern, my wheels have a slightly elongated bolt hole, so even though they fit my Beau they also fit the trailer. My spare is a 14" steel wheel that has the "F" logo stamped in it..
