We used Midland Motor Movers and can recommend them. They fitted a Comfort model. If you want a loo there are Eribas with loo and washroom, the only thing we miss is the grill.

We managed ok without a toilet in the Puck which we kept in the awning. We used a small utility tent for short trips and had a full awning for big trips. We would use the camps facilities in the daytime and at night the porta potie was used for no1s.
Utility tent.

We have a Familia 320 which is the smallest Eriba with a toilet and it has made life a lot easier......

Thank you everybody. Lots of useful information coming in.
I have narrowed our choice of van down to 3, must be 3 berth (for grandson). Familia 310, Triton410 or Triton 430. Can't be any bigger than a Triton as I can't get it in to my back garden. I'm leaning most to the Triton 410 as the extra space would seem to be more beneficial than a built in toilet and impossibly small shower. Also the 410 has nice long beds, I like to stretch out in bed.
Lack of grill and oven does not seem to be a problem with the advice here, only miss the grill if we go to a site without EHU. No toast for breakfast!

Off to Automotive Leisure next week to look over out 3 choices but I think it unlikely that we would buy from there as very expensive. Final decision after that whether to go with Eriba or not will follow that visit.

Thanks folks :)

Thanks Julie,
useful information.......I've only just got over the shock of the price



Yes but the guarantee is "cast Iron " - we've had about 4 of the older models, which had a problem with steam getting into the element and tripping the electric, (New ones are re designed without a glass porthole in the lid, so shouldn't be a seal problem now !) all exchanged over many years under warranty - OK so over a long period you may be credited with the original purchase price against a new one - but this works out a good bargain for such a simple but great bit of kit.
I (or Mrs Ribski) wouldn't be without it - in the Eriba or at home ! (I don't understand cooking )

Hiya

In the past when we've had just a hob and an electric kettle, the good lady added a pressure cooker (a super WMF brand after several not so good Prestige ones) and an Omnia stove top (kind of) oven which needs fiddling with but at the very least warms croissants :)
