I think it is an AL makeover, I'm not too sure about the window in the roof, for something that flops up and down on a regular basis could it weaken it Also it has increased it height by a few inches.


When I go on holiday I like to pop my top!

I'm not too keen on it, really. Can't see too much point in the rooflight, and a combination of that and those horrible black wheels are spoiling the simplicity of the design and making it cluttered and fussy.

None out of ten.

Going on their website does my nut in. It's riddled with spelling mistakes, capital letters where there shouldn't be any and greengrocers' apostrophes scattered around like confetti.

Availible? Eriba's when used in the plural?

Cripes.

A few quid spent getting someone who knows how to use English properly to proof read the website would make a heck of a difference.

They're a professional outfit, but there are some aspects of that site that make it look amateurish.

It's a shame.

Ribski and like this post!

The skylight is a bit strange. There is so much light around the pop top that some people even try to block it out!

Quite agree about the AL website.

Like the van, hate the wheels!!! As for the roof vent if your going to have one have a moon roof something like a large Heki, but seriously you don't need it. Don't like the "touring" decals either

As for the web site total paff

Not keen either.

I hate the current black wheel craze.

As for the rooflight, it's much too small and not even centrally positioned, so looks skew whiff. When you consider what Hymer can do with the Feeling rooflights this effort is laughable.

And where on earth has the orange come from on the decals? That bears no relationship to anything on or in the van.

And I agree the AL website is getting worse and worse, with more and more poor grammar and spelling plus crowded disordered pages and a lack of logicality where all used to be ordered and alphabetically or numerically listed.

It seems to be getting out of hand.

They are the fixings for the roof handles.

I quite like it and even its black wheels possibly because it's so different, the skylight looks to be of no use really as it's not big enough to be able to see the stars at night , something I have always fancied in a van, so I can't see why it's needed. I still prefer the look of doo-dah so we will not be viewing this Eriba. I wonder if many changes are in next year's models?

The 2015s have been out for a while Ellen, as far as I can see the only change is the adoption of 'touch to operate' downlighters in place of the 'tube' lights over kitchen, dinettes, lounges and in the washroom. AL appear to be offering a second upholstery choice, but there again European customers get a choice of 10 or so.

I had wondered if they may have returned to the darker wood finish Andy, doesn't look like it. Ellen

AL are offering two optional upholstery choices apart from the universal beige. The silvery grey looks very swish and there is another with subdued coulour stripy backs to the cushions and a creamy sort of colour for the seats. The two options didn't look as though they would stand up to much real use.
