… and radiators with an Aldi heater?
This system worked great on our last 2 wwb’s. 🙂

The 535 was basically a 530 with the central area redesigned. The kitchen lost the fridge and got drawers instead. On the nearside there was a narrower wardrobe and a tall narrow 12 volt compressor fridge. I've always liked compessor fridges because you just switch them on and there's no fiddling with different energy sources. They use much less power than the absorption type, but if you go off grid you're reliant on your 12V battery and generally it will only last 36 hours. A normal solar array will extend that but won't keep up. Also they make more noise which is noticeable in the quiet of night.

Obviously owning a 535 I am biased. I consider it the most sensible Eriba layout I have seen and certainly ticks all my boxes. Drawers under the hob are much more friendly and practical than a large cupboard which generally wastes so much space. They are certainly kinder on my knees. The narrow wardrobe cupboard which is shelved by default is more practical for caravan type clothing than a hanging wardrobe with more wasted space. If you must have hanging for your ballgowns the shelving can be removed. Practical top ledge over the wardrobe and fridge gives ample space for microwave or other accessories or just general "stuff". The larger compressor fridge is brilliant with enough storage room for two people. Not bothered by noise as I generally sleep during the night. I have the fixed bed option and the benches at the front are slightly longer than on the 530 which adds to the comfort level. The feeling of space is impressive. I also have the electric boiler option which, with the air ducting, is thermostatically controlled and most efficient. I don't go off grid ever so have no worries regarding the battery life. Sorry to see it discontinued. I feel if more dealers had had the courage to but it on their forecourts it would have sold well. When I visited Jandi to look for a new van Sandy showed me the 542, the 530, a 540, and he later told me he left the 535 to the last on purpose because in his view it blew the others away. For me he was right.

At the end of the day it is all about personal choice.

I always thought the front dinette was the same width as the 530 at 33.7 ins?

And Roger should know better, as all Trolls since 2010 have had the same width body. Before the French factory closed there were a couple of models the same width as now, but the majority were a bit narrower and going into history before about 2005 they were all that narrow width.
