Thanks again for all your advice. Eric the Eriba is now safely at home in Herefordshire. Why was I so worried?! We are now sleepless with excitement because we can't wait to get Eric out on the road again. Our tow car is a VW long wheel base T5 and the Eriba sat behind beautifully and towed so easily. We stayed overnight at Lytchett Manor near Poole so only had to drive for 10 minutes before we could spend the evening playing with our new toy. So comfortable and everything to hand. Parked the VW parallel so three soggy dogs could sit in the open van where we could keep an eye on them whilst having all the Eriba space to ourselves! Yippee! Next morning drive up to Herefordshire not a problem at all. Parking at home a doddle with the Reich mover. My brothers always had remote control toys that I never got to play with. Now I have one of my own!
