Tribute Standard Equipment Forums

oldenstar

After various posts here I would like to establish what is, or is not, standard equipment for the new Tributes.
I have no fog lights on my 550 but I have heard that fog lights are fitted to other new ones. Also I have a shower rail, but no shower curtain. Again I have no interior mirror, although the drop-on fitment is on the windscreen.
So come on Triumf and you others, Lazza etc., arm me with info so I can go to the dealers with confidence.
Thanks
Paul

Hi oldenstar
j ust came in from putting on rear camera on 550, hav,nt been out in it yet to busy admiring it, You seem to be missing a lot of things on your 550, there is a shower curtain Unsure on fog lights,you are more than welcome to check my 550 out if you think of anything else your missing

Thanks Triumf. Just look at the front of your van and see if the fog light nacelles on each side actually have a light in them, or just a plastic grille like mine.
Can't make up my mind if your alloys are better than mine or not. Rolling Eyes

I think yours will be easier to clean as they have fewer spokes.

Hi Oldenstar . I no longer know what is standard or not on the 550 we have ordered .We live in the North East and have ordered our van from Barrons . When we placed the order we had seen a van with a roof ladder and front fogs.When we queried if that was standard or a show special from the Peterborough show the guy rang the CI rep who confirmed nothing had been addded to the vehicle ! I have since asked again and been given confirmation of both so if they are not on our van we will expect them to be put on .I think that CI are putting them out so fast that if there is a roof ladder or fog lights in reach they go on if not it goes out without them ! Incidentally not so sure we want the ladder now ! As to rear view mirror or shower curtain can't remember seeing either on the van we only had a quick look at because it belonged to someone else , so, they may have been there. sorry not much help!

Hi all not sure obout this years model as I have last years. But the silver model as I have fog lights came as standard, it also came with an interior mirror and a shower curtain. So you should get all these on this years model, Ihope you all get what should be standard fittings.

Surely a rear view mirror on the windscreen is a legal requirement for any motor vehicle not just a motorhome ?

They'd hardly put the stand for it on the screen if it didn't have a mirror to attach .....would they ? Sounds like our drainer and chopping board. They were removed to avoid them being stolen from the forecourt and never put back.

Hi again oldenstar,
No there isnt any fog lights on my 550, My wheels are on the early brouchers on the 550 and i much prefer them to yours so no i,m not swapping, The interior mirror is taken off when you close windscreen blinds but ill leave mine off all the time now my reverseing camera is up and running, Got TV ariel bolted to ladder at the moment till i decide which ariel to go for ( dont like drilling to many holes in 550 )

Hi Oldenstar
Sorry i hav'nt got back to you sooner but i've been on nights this week.
Anyway My 650 came with driving/fog lights,a plain white shower curtain and the interior mirror, although we have no rear windows,it was in the laptop glovebox.We also got a set of fitted carpets,one for the cab area and a set for the rest of the van,however the ones for the living area are pretty useless and dangerous as they have no anti slip backing,i nearly broke my neck just trying to step in the van!which could have been nasty,but it gave the wife a laugh.Browhills also put a radio/cd player for free as none were fitted. Hope this has been of some help to you.
Good luck with the dealers
Cheers Lazza

Thanks to all for your input. I have just been to Kerrs, who have two 650's and one 550. Both 650's have spot lights fitted, but the 550 doesn't.
So it looks as if they are standard on the 650, and not on the 550-the logic defeats me; same cab, same engine etc., and no mention of fog lights on their brochures. Rolling Eyes

Kerrs MD says he will ask Auto Trail as he had been unaware of the difference so we will see what they say.
Shower curtain still not arrived, but he did go and find me a mirror from the workshop-when I got home and tried it, wrong size for the windscreen fitment Evil or Very Mad

Also had a good look at the washroom door (with its 140 degree opening).
No chance of modifying the hinges to make it 180 degrees because the opening door only clears the kitchen worktop by about one eighth of an inch-bummer
Thanks again all
