Hello - Troll 530 owner

Good morning

I'm not a newbie to the forum, but I am a newbie owner!

Last night I collected a 2004 Troll 530.

I'm going to spend today giving it a really good clean and working out if there's anything major that needs service/replacement ahead of my first trip out. It does however look in generally okay condition and all the appliances work which is a big positive. There are some bits and pieces that need fixing and sorting but won't impact the usage and just more for aesthetics - but I'll be sure to document those and post here

The one thing I did notice that was missing is the piece of fabric above the washroom that connects to the pop-top. Does anyone know where I can source a replacement from? or even what search terms to use?

Hi Josh. That looks like a very nice van Congratulations. As far as the piece of fabric above the washroom door? We chucked ours in the not needed cupboard. It's hardly going to take away any uncomfortable noises and smells and any peeping Toms will need to be over 6 foot tall.

Welcome Josh and I trust you'll soon get to grips with your new arrival. I wouldn't worry about the missing bit of fabric, I honestly cannot see why Eriba ever bothered to fit it, and I'm guessing your vans previous owner thought the same.

We always roll ours up and velcro it out of the way.

It’s not so much a need rather than a want. Most people have said leave it off as they don’t use theirs but no-one has offered to sell me theirs!

I might end up having one made up.

Hi,
I noticed on your Facebook post that people were more inclined to tell you that you don’t need one rather than help you with your question. Now if you’d asked where to get pink paint with yellow dots to cover the outside, people would be falling over themselves to suggest body shops etc!

I don’t have any answer or you, and Mrs gadget wants ours in use, but I do understand.

It would be very easy to make yourself but we tend to roll it up. I like to open the bathroom window and get the air circulating round the van.....not because of nasty niffs, you understand, but because of the heatwave!
