We are selling our Trillium 4500 travel trailer to move on to a larger fiberglass camper Escape 17A . The camper is the deluxe edition version of the 4500 with an extra louvered window in the kitchen, a privacy window in the door, and upper shelving around the entire inside as well as drawers under the seats in the dinette and along the bottom of the back bunk. The frame has been reinforced and lifted. We have had many great trips over the past 6 years after upgrading from a Trillium 1300 when we had our second child in 2017. I built custom bunk beds that easily hold kids or small adults and also upgraded just about every mechanical component leaving the cosmetic side about as original as possible. Check out the long list of upgrades and additions below. Tongue weight is just under 300 lbs and it tows like a dream with both our Honda Pilot and our Chevy Silverado. The main dinette folds flat into a 50 x 77 bed and the bunks measure 25 x 70 each and hold inflatable sleeping pads perfectly. The hubs and electric brakes are only a couple years old and the bearings were serviced this summer.
