Having recently bought a new Troll I find that the dealer is going through the process of registering it with Cris. They are asking for a photo of the chassis plate. The van is stored some distance away and I want to get the photo and depart. Ive just done a quick search on this forum but can't find anything clear about the chassis plate location. Is it the plate by the door (which is just a plastic stick on) or is there a real 'plate' anywhere on the van. The dealer told me it may be in the gas locker but I can't recall seeing anything there. Many thanks for any advice.

Its at the bottom of the left hand side panel inside the gas locker : its a sticker

Provide the VIN number and tell them you'll provde a photo later: it takes them ages to process it since I think they contact Hymer in Germany (not sure)

Thank you both - really helpful.

It's good that the dealer is doing it for you. On UK built vans it's dead easy because the VIN number is logged at CRIS as soon as the van goes on the production line and CRIS have the details and just wait for the dealer to tell them who it's been sold to. On Continental vans CRIS get more awkward because they have no record of the van on their system and even after decades they still don't seem to have a good, easy system to get the vans registered. Most Eriba Touring dealers leave it for the owner to go through all the hassle and pay the registration fee because they realise the aggro it can be to get it done. My suspicion is that as a subsidiary of the NCC, the CRIS make it difficult for foreign vans as a disincentive to buy foreign, whilst UK van's slip through easily.
