Well a 560 presumably has to be within the dimensions of a Troll and not a layout that's been available in the past or they'd have just resurrected the number. It's hard to think of a Troll furniture arrangement that hasn't been tried already. If the past is anything to go by it should be more upmarket, given that the 510 had no washroom and the level of fit out sort of went up from there with the 53X and 54X being the sort of middle ground and the 55X being just a little bit more upmarket.

A Familia 310, with many common parts shared with the rest of the Touring range is priced at £25k now, when specced to normal UK standards, with the an anticipated price increase for 2023MY to £27,500 or so. A smaller van with few common parts with the rest of the range is likely to cost the same or thereabouts. I don't think it would sell unless it had something very unique or was substantially cheaper than a 310.

I entirely agree, but the way I see it progressing is that the Puck would be an even smaller version of the 310/320. If you look at the prices for the micro caravans around today, I'd say it's still feasible. For what its worth, I would buy one!

Don't forget that Hymer need to respond quickly to keep profitable in the ev revolution that's closing in fast. That puts a whole new emphasis on ultra light weight vans. Like the original Puck

But if the model line up is as the Toddster says then It no Pucks, the toiletless Tritons and 535 gone, but a new Troll layout.

Would the Oven drive be covered in black spots and be self-cleaning?

I have the 2023 brochure so I do know quite a bit !! For once in my life 😀

Hi Simon, If you have the 2023 brochure, would you mind sharing it with us Eribafolk? Or let us know where we could get a copy. Thanks in advance, Robbie

I wish I could Robbie, it’s embargoed by Hymer until the launch in June. The copy I have is a draft and although I’ve had it for a couple of months I was asked not to share it publicly. I will however put right any speculations I see on this thread and help where I can. TBH there are very big changes, it’s a complete refresh but I’ll only correct stuff I see so as not to break my word and publish information. The document is marked “Draft” and as I say, it will be replaced in June. This copy has some pictures but the new vans are not full complete in some of the pictures. I’m certainly not seeking to be awkward and some members already have this information, I’m just trying to share it as best I can, with members here.

How exciting Simon ! I also have several chunks of info about the new range of Eriba’s. I too have been sworn to secrecy. Would you mind if I PM you ? Would love to know if what I know is the same as what you brochure/info might confirm. Many thanks, Robbie

Sure pm me no problem

I notice that Hymer have built their own chassis production line, which the blurb says will enable them to produce low weight chassis for their products. Quite what sort of difference that is to Alko remains to be seen. Accepted wisdom is that lightweight chassis are either less strong or more expensive, so it remains to be seen what the new line produces, how they're made lighter than Alko and if there's a substantial cost penalty.

The draft pictures feature all the new touring models with a “Knott” coupling as used by a couple of other German manufacturers and common in the uk boat trailer market. Their marketing also mentions a new “extended drawbar” for increased stability and also to stop the bike rack fouling. That will mean new overall lengths for every model. Also the new chassis features a completely flat floor, no slope to the rear floor anymore

Just sent you a PM Simon
