image.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)Hello to you all! As a new member, my first message has to be a thank you, to a couple we were parked next to at Lac d' Orient camping who had a Troll the same as ours. We had a lovely conversation and they gave us good advice and encouragement for our mamouth task!
I don't remember their names but they towed with a white Volvo ,I think they came from Leicester .
I do also have a question,does anybody know we're we can get upholstery to match our original? One of the long bolsters is missing, so needs making! I would also like to know what the pattern is called, I hope the picture is clear!
Many thanks E

Hi Errol and welcome to Eribafolk

What is the year of manufacture for your Troll and do you know if it was made for the UK market place or for Europe?

Welcome Errol. Unfortunately I don't think you're going to have much luck sourcing the fabric, so it will be plane B. I'd choose one of the many colours and use this as a solid/one only colour for the bolsters.
If you have a local small upholsterer it would be worth taking the cushion in and asking them what they have that would sit well with the original.

Hi Errol, this appears to be one of the Colmar fabrics in the 2004 German brochure (page 50) in the recent documentation post by Steve & Debbie.

Think you may have a task on your hands to match this. Maybe get it made up in a toning fabric and have covers for the other cushion(s) made up. I have seen some photos where Eribas have a mix of patterned and plain fabrics.

I think you just confirmed my suspicions ,it's just that the interior is so nice it would have been good to have it as it should be.
Many thanks E

. Why not contact Hymer and ask them if it's still available. If it is it will be very expensive!

Thanks for that Errol. The reason for the question is because Hymer have changes of fabric every couple of years and fabric patterns offered in mainland Europe often differ from the fabric on "made for the UK" vans.
