We sadly, I'm afraid have to say goodbye to this informatie & friendly site.

We decided towards the end of the camping season last year whilst staying at our favourite
French camp site to buy a large caravan & to leave it on that site.

Shortly after returning home to the Netherlands, I bought a large Hobby caravan,
which I stored over the winter next to our Eriba.

The Eriba will be going up for sale here in the Netherlands.

Luckily, I have a brother-in-law who own's a large diesel Merc, he's volunteered to transport the Hobby to France.

My replacement car will be a Tesla model 3 which is not suitable to tow my Triton, but should work out perfect
for regular trips into France.

I have to say a big thank you to all members who contributie to this site and especially the one's that run & maintain the very high
standards of this Group.

Good luck with your new adventure. A photp of your new Hobby in situ would be good to see.

Kath asked me earlier this week if I thought that I would still be able to put up our large air awning against our Troll for another season. I bullishly said yes - but we did briefly talk about what we might do if we can't.

Like many of us older members we don't want to give up our beloved camping but we may have to accept different ways of doing it.................................

Enjoy your time in France

"And so say all of us"

“Tempus fugit” we just have to find ways to deal with it. The important thing is to keep “doing”, keep enjoying. Good luck with your new Hobby.

I had to change our Troll a while ago because I kept getting the Eriba Kiss in all different places on my head and sometimes it was a hefty thump. It didn't matter what I did I still hit my head. As a result of illness I had to go on blood thinners and was told by the consultant, in no uncertain terms, that I must not bang my head so the Troll had to go. It was a big wrench as we absolutely loved it.
We now have a Hymer Eriba Nova 485GL - so we still technically have an Eriba.
I still regularly pop into the forum although I don't post much.

We'd love to see your Hobby. It's the start of a new adventure for you. It must be a relief now you've made the decision. No point in struggling.
