We now have Poppy!

Hello, new owners of three days here!
My detective skills worked out that we have just acquired steamdrivenandy's 2001 Troll 430gt. We picked her up from her lovely previous owners in Wales and she now lives with us in Lincolnshire.
Prior to the Eriba, we had a folding Rapido caravan, so are looking forward to not having to assemble the caravan each time we pitchup. Better for rainy days and touring!. Hopefully we'll get to meet some of you at various campsites around the UK. Pop in for a chat if you see us on site

Here's a few pictures of Poppy as she is at the moment.

Hi Steve and Jools and welcome to Eribafolk and Eriba ownership. Now the fun begins.

So Poppy once belonged to Eriba Royalty eh? Good old SDA. Never been the same since he became Eribaless and went over to the dark side and purchased WWB.

It'll be nice if you can post a pic or two when you have time. Also if you need to know anything don't be afraid to ask. It's quiet on here at the moment so many members are eager to help.

Thanks for the welcome!
I'm sure I don't need to tell people to be wary about eBay, but I notice lots of people looking for vans at the moment and we found two dodgy ads in one week for Eribas. The "seller" sends legit looking Paypal links and offers to deliver the van with an approval period ONCE YOU HAVE TRANSFERRED YOUR CASH! :-/ I am sure few people would be willing to part with money without viewing first but these scammers are very convincing and their virtual Eribas are very low priced for the years displayed.

Welcome!
SDA's Troll or Triton? 430 isn't a Troll.

So if it's his last Troll 540 then it used to be ours!

Hi and welcome.... your right about eBay, I bought my previous Puck from eBay however I always went to have a look before bidding. One Puck I looked at smelt like an old damp saw mill so I gave that one a wide berth.....

Yes, I seem to remember you sold an Eriba to Andy didn't you Tony & Frances? However, looking at his blog, he changed from a 2001 Troll 540GT to a 2005 Troll 540GT in 2011. Therefore the one at Fforest Fields g22p238-quot-Steamdrivenandy-quot.html which was his last one, would have perhaps once been yours?

This is SDA's famous (infamous?) blog. http://eribaliving.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/eriba-living.html

Andy bought it from Phil (?) who we sold it to. Not sure of the date but I will check it out.......

We bought it new from Eriba UK Lechlade in January 2005. I think we sold it on in 2007. It was a lovely van which we only sold to finance a motorhome.

You may remember Andy having a right old moan in his blog about the water system and the table being 'butchered'. I think he thought that i must have been responsible for it but I convinced him otherwise (I hope!) at the Ffffforest Ffields meet. There is a picture of it in the gallery.
