Bathroom floor tray
We have just bought an eriba troll 540 gt and found that the bathroom floor tray is brittle and has a small crack . it also gives a bit under our weight when we use the bathroom
we are thinking of using filler under it and then some paint on shower tray repair off ebay .
any advice on this would be welcome

You have to be a small and very supple person to shower in an Eriba Touring. I can't really understand the fact that UK dealers specify the shower pack as part of their standard spec. I suspect most use site showers, so even having the shower head for hair washing isn't necessary. So if you're not going to use the shower facility there's no problem with a crack in the shower tray, unless it looks like it might get worse with the floor being regularly walked on. I believe there are firms that specialise in shower tray repairs and it may be better to Google them than risk making matters worse with DIY.

don't know what age the troll is, but on 2003 trolls with the white plastic bathroom, the screws are under the loo, down the door wall and the cupboard sits upon the tray.
A specialised patch repair might be easier, read about a firm doing this in an old either practical caravan or caravan, sadly the magazine has been recycled
short term there is a waterproof clear tape gorilla branded,
am not saying removal repair or replacement cannot be done,.

How on earth do you reach to soap lower limbs, without leaving the door open, which is cheating

ha ha ha my method used to be
bend at waist, putting behind over closed loo, while lifting one leg at a time. think of the first Karate kid movie where stands on post in sea balancing,

perhaps too much information shared teehee


ensure the blind is down if window open, for eribas with the large mirror. to retain some modesty.

I would've thought that raising a leg over the closed toilet would be the way to go as that would allow space for you to bend at the waist. You'd probably find your backside in the basin though and perilously close to the mirror. And all the while the 'orrible shower curtain would be trying to cling to you. Ugh! No thanks.

If the tray has a small crack and the tray gives a little under your weight, make sure that the floor underneath hasn't rotted due to water ingress!

the basins higher then the loo!!! and there is a cupboard over loo, so for me that would not be a possibility . the newer bathrooms may be different,
don't have a shower curtain, prefer to polish the door first and sit a towel outside in case get over zealous with the 12v shower.
we filled the canister with hot water then added cold to temp.

not sure about the newer eribas layouts but you can view a small part of the floor from the outside cassette door

for anyone who does not have a shower tap can recommend these type after the home boiler packed in, used a 10littre bucket..
