Hello!
To introduce ourselves, we are a married couple in our young 60's, living on two acres right in the center of Sonoma Wine Country, Northern California. We enjoy all kinds of music, especially jazz, walking, home exchange, and, or course, fine wine. We are both very active in educational and service organizations (she in Toastmasters, I in Rotary) and do what we can to give back to our community.
About our Eriba. I purchased my 1971 Eriba Puck in 1976, when I was still single, and enjoyed camping all over the western United States for many years. In the early 1990's, our business (a furniture store) grew to the point that we did not have time to camp, so we parked it in our garage. We recently retired, pulled our Puck out of the garage, and are now in the process of restoring it. I'll post some photos in the next few days. My restoration will require some small parts (rubber striping, hub caps, water supply cap, etc.) I have not been able to locate any Eriba parts suppliers in the USA. I would welcome referrals to any USA Eriba parts suppliers, or UK suppliers who ship to the USA.
We are so looking forward to our first camping trip in decades, some time later this summer.

Some of the parts you need may not be exclusively Eriba. May be worth trawling the net. In the UK, Automotive Leisure and Jandi are the stockists for Eriba parts. Jandi may be the most knowledgeable.
Good luck with your restoration.

we imagine it will look pretty cute against the huge Winnebagos and similar you normally see in your neck of the woods.

Mark - good luck with your restoration You'll find lots of knowledge and help in this Forum ! I did a little caravanning in and around Florida
and was interested to see quite a few 'Scamps", which I suppose are the nearest American equivalent to Eribas ! Look forward to seeing your pictures - enjoy your Eriba

Probably those fifth wheeler things Tony.

Good to have you aboard and waiting for your first trip over here to meet you both. Be careful in big puddles though.
