Hi, I have agreed to buy a 2007 Troll 540 GT this Saturday. I noticed the front grey front pull handles are between the window and the red band rather than on it. Has anyone ever come across this before? Just curious as I can't find images of any the same.

I saw this on the Facebook pages and queried the positioning at the time.
It is very strange as the handles have to cope with pushing and pulling the caravan. That is why they are always secured to the main structure of the frame. The positioning of those in the van for sale need to be checked that they are screwed into the steel framework correctly. I would also check for holes under the trim where they should have been to see why they are not there.
The handles themselves do not look like standard Eriba parts to me.

If it worries you then it may well worry others in the future when/if you come to re-sell.

the van in question also has the same handles so not just a one off

This picture in the gallery shows there is steel framework behind the handles but you still have to wonder why they were attached there?

We saw one the same in Spain this year it was an 05 Troll, the owner had it from new and said that was the way it came.

we also looked at at a pontos that was for sale a few years back and it also had the same handle arrangement

Thanks all for the advice , Andrew.
