A New Set of Wheel Trims

As we have owned our Eriba for 11 years now, the wheel trims that were fitted by Auto Leisure are looking a bit ropey. One of them was cracked so I had to glue it before this year's trips.

Therefore we've pushed the boat out and bought a new set of 4. There are sets of 2 wheel trims available for caravans but not only are they more expensive than the 4 sets, they appear to me at least to have an inferior hole pattern to enable the use of cable ties.

So, a new set of wheel trims, nowt exciting about that.

But perhaps a little more exciting when these are fitted :-

Again they only come in sets of 4 but there are various diameters available. About 5 years ago I bought 4qty 60mm dia ones for my existing wheel trims and they are still on there and looking good. Don't ask where the remaining 2 are. I haven't a clue.

The exisiting wheel trims do have the benefit of a sunken round centre with a small rim around them so the sticky backed wheel centres had some protection The sticky on the back of them looks good however so they should stay on there.

They can be found here :- https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/10409271...h_click=1&frs=1 and come from Romania. The last set we purchased arrived after about a week but because of events over the past two years that I'm not allowed to speak of, they could take up to three weeks to deliver.

On the same point, Mrs R has designed and ordered our annual Trip Book which was ordered about a month ago and its journey started in the Netherlands, then Germany, then Paris in France and is now awaiting delivery at Stanstead. The book has travelled further than we have this year.

I like the domed Eriba badges. You are correct about things from abroad following what will not be mentioned. I had Mrs eribaMotters new tyres stuck in customs for three weeks. Previous orders prior to that which will not be mentioned, of tyres and wheel rims from Germany had arrived in 3 to 5 days.
