Rare find and priced-to-sell! Our family enjoyed more than 20 years of traveling all over the USA in this 1977 Trillium 1300 (most recently in 2022), but it’s time to pass it on to a new owner. This vintage travel trailer, which once was made in Canada and now is very collectible, boasts many special features you won’t find in other campers: original louvered windows on all sides that can be kept open even in rainstorms for wonderful ventilation; a generous amount of standing room; extremely light weight (we pulled it through mountains with a minivan); ample storage; an awning; and a window in the door—an optional feature missing from many Trilliums.

This much-loved 13-foot camper, which is in great shape and should continue to gain in value, is priced at only $7,000 USD because we’d like to sell it this summer. It’s probably worth more, but we’d like it to be affordable to a young family (like ours was once!) hoping to have their own adventures in it. A good value for anyone who wants to travel in it immediately, “glamp it up” with modern updates, or add it to a collection.
