Welcome Debbie. You will find several members up here, I'm in Formby.
Are you aware Red Lion Caravans in Southport are now Eriba dealers. They have taken delivery of a Troll 540 and Familia 320 that you can see on e-bay. More vans are due to arrive soon so you should be able to have a look around and confirm your preferred layout. I find the 550 feels the most open of the current models as you enter but they are not getting one in. We have a Triton 430 you are welcome to look at when times permit.
Best of luck with your search - Colin

Hi Colin, thanks for your reply.
I have messaged both Adventure Leisure Vehicles and Red Lion, just awaiting responses as closed over Xmas.
We would prefer one a couple of years old ideally but they appear to be like hens Teeth lol.
You never know if someone is thinking about selling so thought it worth a post.
Hopefully we will find something suitable
Thanks for the offer of viewing yours when restrictions permit.
Debbie

Hi DebbieH and welcome to the site
The Troll 530GT is a god choice. We have a 540 GT and love it.
The Troll all have slightly different layouts in terms of the size of he third bed, length of the wardrobe and type of bed - fixed or convertible. They all have their fans and Colin's advice to see as many as you can before you buy is good.
The only problem is that they have sold like mad since the pandemic. Last time we were in Adventure LV in Tebay in late summer, Mike the boss was saying that he couldn't find enough used vans to sell. Hopefully the dealers will get in new stock for you to at least get a look at some Trolls.
Perhaps the other thing to remember is that Eriba Touring vans keep their price very well and depreciate very little. When we got ours 4 years ago we ended up buying a new one (and spending more than we intended) because we struggled to find a used one that was exactly what we wanted. We were in an unusual position as an elderly relative had died and left us a bit of money that we were not expecting, that covered the difference.
Good luck with your search. Whatever you get I am sure that you will love it.

Hi Julie, do have have a fixed bed or dinette version? We thought we wanted a fixed bed as better mattress and more storage space, but equally the larger dinette may also have advantages and we may have the opportunity of getting anew one sooner

We are on our 4th Eriba and have had fixed bed and twin dinettes in Famila, Troll and Tritons. We have camped with children and now there is just the two of us. Whilst the twin dinette undoubtedly offers greater flexibility I would always go fixed bed unless you definetly for every trip need two dining areas. On a Troll I would doubt this need as the 530, 535 and 550 all offer a large enough front diner for four to sit. You may however have a different need and only you can make that call.
You have mentioned a fixed bed offers greater storage and this is often overlooked when a purchase is being considered. The ability to store lightweight but large items such as chairs safely is not to be overlooked. Likewise the height of the bed and the far greater ease in the access and use of this space is also overlooked, in fact does not even register to a potential owner. The comfort of fixed bed against a converted dinette is not an issue, a mattress topper brings equal levels of comfort to both.

Thanks Colin,nthat info is really helpful. I didn’t realise the front dinette could seat 4!

That was Colin, not to be confused with me, Julie
We have the twin dinette although we normally leave the big bed made up and use the small dinette for meals etc. The twin dinette worked really well though when we took 3 of our grandchildren away. They slept in the big bed which was put away in the day for meals and games to happen on the table. Wouldn’t have worked with a fixed bed.

In our Triton, we like the twin minette so we have plenty of space for dinner. Also, it's so comfortable for watching a film etc.
