    Mine is a 1977 trillium 4500. I got it for a steal and have spruced it up a bit.

    I can see that, were not worried about being cramped up. Keeps the incentive to be outside, except for bad weather ect. Then it's really nice to have.

    Some interior pics.....

    IMG_0384.jpg

    Gonna convert it to a permanent full size bed.

    IMG_0385.jpg

    I have no intention to use the stove (I have a portable that I use outside) but may get around to using the sink, and I will definitely use the AC, microwave, and the fridge.

    IMG_0386.jpg

    Glad to have a 3 cubic ft. 3-way fridge to run off propane, 12 volt, or 120 volt. My previous camper was the Aliner Scout with a piece of crap 1.8 cubic ft. 12 volt/120 volt. Had it removed for storage instead.

    Dormer over the dinette.

    Aaahhh.

    Love this storage area. Now I can store my tv (OTA and satellite) cables, receiver, and remotes here. (hhmmm, wondering if the tv can be stored here as well. I'll certainly find out.)

    I do agree, the main downfall to a pop-up is setup/takedown! My reasons for going this way were, weight, aerodynamics, ability to take my wheeler! My mistakes...shoulda gone with AC and an exhaust vent for the shower!
