Does anyone have experience of the Eriba own brand fitted winter cover (Considering one for our 430 Triton 60) Thanks

I bought one of the Eriba covers you mentioned. Cost about £550 and I’ve never taken it out of the packet as each year (since 2018) I have managed to find space for our troll in the car barn. However this year might be different so I plan to use the Eriba cover. Will put an update on here as soon as I have whipped it out.

I bought a Protec this year for our 530, it’s superbly made , top quality but it has one major flaw in that it is about 6 inches too long. When the straps are tightened it is pulled around the bottom edge of the van and is strained around all the sharp edges ie mover “ winder “ nut on both sides and the rear stabiliser nuts again on both sides. This combined with a relatively generous fit ( I also have an Automotive Leisure cover which is as tight as the proverbial duck) and a bit of wind meant at least 4 significant chaffed areas almost right trough the material which was very disappointing. I now have to faff about with foam etc around all the sharp areas.
I would buy one again ( like the easy fit back) but would specify that it must not fold over the bottom edge.

Thanks very much for most useful advice and particularly pictures of one in the real world. Protec seems to get universal thumbs up so will probably save a few hundred and go with that.

Fitted our new factory made cover yesterday. As others have said it is a tight fit (on our 550) but two of us working together managed to pull it together, I'm hoping it will stretch a little after being on the van all winter and be an easier fit next time. It also came with the extension piece, which we tried, but was then too loose a fit for our van.

Overall very pleased with the quality of it:

Having decided against Eriba's own cover on grounds of price and closeness of fitting (surely better a bit loose) I'm trying a 5 star Maypole thinking that as it's conventional height I'll keep top popped up. Any thoughts welcome.

PS - now fitted:; the 5 Star Maypole 12-14ft fits 430 perfectly and allows top popped which allows vents to be slightly open - adjustable so it's not too tight. It's light, easy to fit and seems tough enough. Excellent YKK zips and robust storage bag.

Only thing to watch out for with the top popped is heavy snow. We were once sleeping in ours when it snowed heavily. Roof came crashing down at 2 am frightening the life out of us. It didn’t appear to do any damage to the scissors but if I knew snow was forecast I’d have brought the top down.

We will order one too for Edwardo the 430GT, however, Wingfield, is your Maypole Cover still holding out after its first winter? It would be good to know before we order one for ours.

Thanks for this.

Before buying a Maypole then have a look at the Kampa. Our 430 spent its first year outdoors under one this year and I'm very pleased. Fit was a bit flappy as it is a generic 12 - 14 foot model so I used a few straps around the waist and it looked fine. Hopefully it will fit our new Feeling, if not I'll buy the next size up and sell the original.

Hi Colin, I found one last night from a very well priced on line shop called Crowland Caravans and Camping - for a total of £88.45 including delivery - I am well pleased at that price as it is cheaper then a lot of other places too.

Thanks for helping me on finding a cover for Edwardo the Eriba! I appreciate it!

Cheers,

Kenny
