Took delivery of one of the rarer versions of the Troll (550) with FB - can't understand why these interiors aren't more popular - but loving every minute of it so far!

Just wanted to say Hi to all at Eribafolk, especially as browsing this particular forum over the past year helped us make our mind up over taking the Eriba Touring plunge.

Thanks!

Shameless plug alert. I keep trying to encourage new members to join us at the Summer Meet, a great place to put faces to names and see all the different Eribas.
Warm welcome awaits all.

Hi both and welcome to Eribafolk.

Yes the 550 GT is a nice van. Michele Watkins (Shel) has one which she treasures,

We'd love to see some photos when you're ready

HI Randa,

Yes - the GT is a nice van - we didn't opt for the GT version though!

Photos are a good idea - we'll see if we can get some sorted :)

What we liked was the fact that the bed could be constantly made (we don't have much in the way of family to justify permanent seating) and we really liked the extra seating space of having the layout thus, as it's MUCH less of a squeeze to get on and off the "sofa":

In fact, if Cameron (at Automotive Leisure) hadn't got one of these variants in stock, then we probably wouldn't have known about it as the dealer in the Lakes doesn't believe it them (he's more focused on the Airstreams though TBH).

Thanks for the welcome & info about Michele W - we'll have to say hi to her sometime soon.

Best,

C & A.

I've learned something here. I thought that all post circa 2000 vans where called GT? Does that mean that you have to pay extra for the GT badge which, presumably comes with a higher spec?

When I was looking into getting one, the GT spec was an extra cost as it came in a package of extras like the alloy wheels, the plastic silver wheel arch trims and the trims around the lights. I think that was all but may have missed off something.

There's a badge? Really? We haven't got a badge. We've got a couple of sticky red letters on the roof which you catch with a wet sponge if you aren't careful.

I want a badge.

You should have paid for the GT membership.

GT members get hundreds of smilies.
