Default Looking for a boler/trillium

Anyone know of an old abandoned boler or trillium or any kind of fiberglass camping trailer ?

Looking for a winter project.

There is some on Kiiji for a price
https://www.kijiji.ca/b-alberta/boler/k0l9003?dc=true

The Boler has fallen into cult status commanding huge prices finding a cheap one is getting hard. I bought 2 17' models one for parts the other to restore it was a fun project and one of the few I made money on. If you do find one and need some help PM me.

My friend has one of the early 14 ft ones and it is unreal what a fully restored one can bring in when sold. I know of one in a back yard which were trying to purchase to restore & sell. My friend is great with the inside stuff, my years as a bodyman will handle the outside. Now if this owner would just sell it lol. Thankfully they don't know what the value is on these old unrestored ones so we may get it fairly cheap if he ever sells. It's more of a sentimental issue with this guy that he has kept it.

Good luck with that! I am searching for one as well.

You likely already know this, but I have heard from a guy that refurbishes them that the frames on old bolers usually need to be rebuilt and the plywood floors replaced. If you have the skills to do this yourself it as all good, but if not it can cost as much as a modern Trillium in good shape.

I do have a 1971 already that I have fully restored and I just got back from the Boler 50th anniversary in Winnipeg , there were over 450 of those eggs.

But now I'm looking for another to be restored.
