Or slightly earlier . 5 number serial numbers on Trolls became 6 in 1978. Unfortunately the list is non-existent pre 1978.
However, as the Troll has a Cernay Plate and not a Thann or Bad Waldsee Plate it does put the manufacure to be early to mid 70s and after they moved to Cernay from Thann.
ERIBA in France
In the 1960s, the company Hymer bought the company METTMANN (Caravan manufacturer) in Thann (68) Vosges, to produce our ERIBA.
Mr Armand F. PROTZEN took the responsibility of the Marketing Organization of ERIBA. This move to France was because the Bad Waldsee factory burned down in 1968.
From 1970, a new factory was built in Cernay (68) near Mulhouse.
Production goes up to 20 units a day.
