Have I got an odd one?

recently purchased an Eriba Troll 550, but the layout is different from all internal views seen on the layout page in as much that the dinette end the seat under the window runs all the way to the door. the wardrobe and fire are after the fixed bed and before the kitchen area.
on the plate outside it reads 550H?

any info will be much welcome.
cheers and enjoy the spring meet in you are attending.

I was just about to say the same thing. The 555 is conspicuous by its very large side window. Here's a 555 with L shaped dining instead of the kidney shaped table, currently on sale at AL.

555 layout is the same as mine, why the plate outside near the door should say 550H not sure. might mean i need new reading glasses?

cheers

I would not worry. I recall seeing a 540 locally that the owner had ordered as a 540 and indeed got a 540, but the plate said 550.
Or It could have been totally the other way around, but you get the idea.

Colin has just reminded me of the time when I ordered a new door lock from Jandi.

Upon giving then our serial number they thought we owned a 510 and not a 530. They said it's not unknown and I think they used the 550 as an example, stating that many of them came out of the factory as 510s.

Like others have said, it sounds like a 555.
If so, technically yours is a 555 GTV, and ones with the front 'kidney' table are referred to as a 555 GTR. This is what I was advised at Lechlade when I purchased our 555 in 2006.

Have you just bought yours from AL?

Cheers Mark

van was purchased by it,s previous owner from Dom in Norfolk according to info that was in the van, I purchased through Ebay and was for sale due to owners wife suffering with ill health.
It was fitted with a mover and bike rack on rear which i removed, hot water heater and extra internal tank with level sensor which allow for main tank to be topped up from inside van. Various TV bit, booster and socket and aerials,
i have changed some internal light fitting for `led,s and was waiting for some warmer weather to try it out, unfortunately my car was shunted two weeks ago and i am waiting its, return from repair.
we have had touring van before and bought the Eriba after selling our T4 VW camper.
