Hi Dino. Nice work. I really appreciate that you show all the work (some fast forward). I learn that much more. Nice tools btw. Like those saws ... Gary
Hey Gary,
I recognize that showing all the work can be boring, so speeding it up during some parts makes the work visible for those who would benefit by seeing it, yet it happens fast enough so as not to loose the others😆. Thanks for watching.
Cheers.
Thanks so much! So helpful
Awesome! I’m glad you found a video helpful. Cheers.
Dino! Awesome work. My partner and I have been working on our little Trillium since August. Your belly band video was the key to us getting started on this project and I just found this video halfway through our window replacement! Keep up the awesome work I can’t wait to see what else you do with your Trillium 🤙
Hey Callum,
I’m glad you enjoyed the videos.
The next one will be the dinette build come spring time.
Can’t wait. Cheers.
I’m about to reseal the rear window on my ‘76 Trillium. Great video, you made it look very easy.
Thanks. It was my first time so I was nervous. Now that I’ve done it, I feel more confident as I approach doing the front window as it warms up. Pulling the window out initially was tricky because the opening we pretty tight. Have fun.
Cheers
👍👍❤️🇨🇦, i had to take out all of the windows onmy 1977 17' Boler and reset them with butyl tape, a labor of love, gr8 instructiinal video
Yes I agree.
Also, I’m glad you liked the video.
Cheers.
Excellent video! Very informative and helpful for anyone needing to do this type of job! Thank you so much! Please do more videos!
Thank you. I’m glad you found the video to be helpful. There is a belly band repair video in case you might be interested. Cheers.
Nice job, thanks for taking the time to record and to share with us.
You are very welcome sir. Cheers
Super job ! I’m a french speaking women but you’re so clear and have a so nice voice that it sounds like music to me. Do you have a twin brother to send me to help me with my twin Trillium 4500? 😁
Thanks taking time to share your work. It’s really appreciated. Hoping my english not too bad 😊
Merci Brigitte,
I appreciate the feedback and I’m glad you found the video helpful. Now that the weather is starting to warm up, I plan to make a couple more. I hope you find them helpful as well.
Nice job brother Dino🥂
Hey Ronnie,
Thank you very much.
Cheers
Have been consuming all of these restoration videos eagerly as they are exactly what I need. We've just been gifted a trillium from my father-in-law and I want to get it up to snuff (it's got a long way to go) but my experience with such things is extremely limited. Do you have a detailed list of all the items and products used here and/or in any of your videos related to this restoration? I see some videos show the products others don't, and I can't seem to find them listed in the description beyond the cover you use? When I look at the website listed it seemingly only shows things associated with your jeep stuff.
Hey Joshua,
Congratulations of your recent acquisition. You are right about the website being all Jeep stuff, as for a list of tools and materials, I didn’t make them but I did mention them in the videos. have fun with your restoration and a recommend that you join a couple trillion Facebook groups, they have a lot of information and have access to a lot of people with expertise. do you happen to be located in Ontario?
👍👌❤️🇨🇦, just a suggestion, I cleaned the window flanges first eith acetone or mineral spirits, the with 90% rubbing alcohol to temove any oily film left behind by using the mineral spirits
Great tip!! Thanks!
Bunky to dinette would be great to see it finished. You ripped out and repaired the floor. Are you going to do the dinette. You are on track so far
Hello, A professional restorer bought it from me to finish. I had to sell it so I won’t have any further videos on the trailer unfortunately.
Picked up a 1975 Trillium 1300 this summer, love it. Wanna do some mods, but not too many cause I want it original as possible but also modern functional. The 12 volt system is gone and not sure if it ever had one, but wires are there and have been cut. Can you maybe explain how it works and steps to install new ? Also, I can’t find a decent spare tire holder for the back bumper if my life depended on it. Can you talk about that too ? Mine obviously didn’t come with that option, but I’ve seen them on other Trillium’s. Great videos, thanks !!!
Thank you for the feedback on the video.
The rear tire holder is simply angle iron welded onto the back bumper. Any small welding shop should be able to put something together inexpensively. I hope that helps.
Hey there, I just bought a trillium 1300. It's in pretty solid condition. 1 thing that has gone south iss the inside trim. I notice as I watch these kinds of videos it's common for it to fall off,or get Cracky. I am currently trying to source this trim . Might you have any suggestions?. I looked for videos in your catalog, did not see one. I'm really learning alot from your videos. Right now Tilly is at a refurbished getting things worked on. I can't wait to get her home and get started refurbishing her. She very similar to yours but now your bench seat is a dining table. That was clever.
I’m glad you found some of the videos helpful. I’d try the Trillium Forums or FaceBook groups for sourcing materials.
Have fun.
Cheers
@CheaperJeeperTV not sure how to find a forum. Just heard from refurbishment folks they can't find the seaming either..
They these kinks.

Interesting and informative
Hey Randy,
Thank you very kindly my friend.
Cheers.
Hey thank you for all these great videos. I'm doing my window next , mine is missing the outside screw guards, that you removed. Can you share the name of the seal and maybe a link? Thanks again
I'm glad you found the videos helpful. Try searching at the following link for more information on the plastic trim pieces. www.fiberglassrv.com/forums/

@@CheaperJeeperTV thank you
Hi! I’m in the process of fixing the interior plywood of my window frames as well. Your video has been more helpful.
Question:
1. Why use butyl tape and not silicone?
2. The interior of my trillium is a foam liner not fibreglass. Is yours the same? The foam liner covers the plywood. And I need to remove and replace the plywood. Thoughts?
Hey Mike,
1)From what I've read online, butyl stays flexible and doesn't dry up and crack over the years exposed to the weather, as quick as silicone.
2)The stock liner is called ensolite. It is a textured vinyl outer surface, and foam backing. I used a razor to help peel the foam layer that was glued to the wood frame. I didn't use glue when I reinstalled the liner around the window.
I hope that helped.
@@CheaperJeeperTV
Can you lead me to a link or a supplier that sells the black window trim and vinyl wrap that cover the window screws and seam rivets

I’m working on the exact same project now. I just removed all the plywood window frames, and am considering putting the replacement wood on the outside of the elephant skin (so it would be aluminum>fiberglass>elephant skin>wood). Any thoughts on that?
That won’t be a bad idea. Many others have done that. Have fun.
Cheers
Where can I purchase new plastic strips to cover the screws
Try looking on vintagetrailergaskets.com/screw-covers

I want to by one like this only for me .I don't need a 36 40 foot camper .not for one guy .lol .my jeep would pull that no problem.
Hey Pat,
Feel free to share the video by all means. Yes, your Jeep will be able to tow this type of trailer easily.
Have fun!
Cheers
