Hello new here, don't yet own one but after an eriba troll. We currently have a folding camper which has been Uchida fun but finding wet pack ups much less fun so want a Troll.
Can I ask how you handle wet pack ups with regards to the canvas roof. Do you need to keep it up u till it Dries?.

also how do on board water tanks work as in how do you fill them please?.

Finally where are the best places to source 2006,7,8 trolls please.

Thanks

First it rarely gets wet as the pop up roof over hangs it ,second it should be waterproof anyway third in the rare event it should get wet you can always put the top up at your destination and allow it to dry.

That depends where you are and how far you are willing to travel our Dealer section lists pretty much all the UK dealers

My husband has a water carrier with a nozzle that he puts water in the tank with - we don't use a lot as we use the campsite facilites for showers and washing up. I guess it depends if you're going to shower in the van or not.

If you have to carry water to the van to fill an onboard tank then why not just leave it outside and connect through a Crystal or Whale fitting?
And not lose that space in the van.

IMHO

The bulbous, possibly dirty barrel that is rolled across mud and gravel, but more usually along access roads or paths, stores perfectly in a bag in the washroom.

owning a Triton 420, I have the water tank in the cupboard under the sink and even though it's cold water only have found it more than adequate. uses facilities for everything else when needing hot water. KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid

Do yourself a favour and convert your lovely new 542.

Deeps, our 40 litre aquaroll provides us with water for tea and coffee, cooking, washing up and ablutions.
It lasts us about 3 days.
Clearly how you fetch and store water is a personal choice.
Having had 4 Eribas with all the previously mentioned systems this what we choose but I would hesitate to claim that our choice is the best.

We have had a variety of vans with onboard tanks, both the white Jerry can types under the sinks in the kitchen and loo, and fixed tanks either under a front or rear seat. We much prefer external water supply for a variety of reasons, many already espoused by Frantone but also:-

The white Jerry can containers are a pain to get out, and especially in again when full. Especially true when you have stored all you relevant essentials around them because you have so much less storage space.

On board tanks can often need emptying when travelling so as not to adversely affect the noseweight. On internal inspection ours had rusty fittings inside(screws). They are also are a pain to clean compared to Aquarolls or Fiamma wheeled external carriers ( which are also a lot easier to transport full of water than any Jerry can).

Internal tanks take up useful space for storage of other items.

Either way a 5l container of fresh water is most useful for overnighters.

Just my opinion of course
