A pal of mine who bought a Triton last year has just fitted a new touring cover from Protec and it looks and works very well with a zip up the middle and a good soft backing that will protec the paintwork! I have tried to purchase one of these before but they don't make them to fit pre 2010 Trolls. Am I right in thinking that
the awning rail is higher on my 2001 Troll than a 2010 model? My plan is to purchase one and adapt it to fit.Perhaps someone out there with a 2010 or later Troll could advise the measurement from awning rail to the deck on the towbar.
Thanks ,
Mike.
Surely it's the other way round.
The post 2010 redesign raised the awning rail and the door opening with it. The fixed roof profile and the pop top were flattened a bit.
For a towing cover designed for a post 2010 van I suspect the mid rail handles will be in the same place and the lower half should be identical, but the upper fixing will be too high to secure the top half without some sort of bulging.
PS just thought of another issue 2010 and onwards all Troll's were 2.1m wide and 2001 Trolls were all 2.0m wide. How that variance plays in your intended mods is hard to say.,
