Hi newbie here.English living in France. I bought an Eriba Familia end of last year and love it. 1987 variety. just back from the gulf de morbihan had a long weekend at the 24 heure du mans and off to portugal in september so getting my moneys worth already. Didnt know a forum existed untill i started looking for the herzim trim that is suitably cracked and hardened on our van. So may as well start with a question where is the best place to buy it from__ when i google mr jandi I get all sorts of perverse sites__ and do they do kits for a whole caravan or do i have to measure it.

Oh and then there is the solar power issue but thats for later

thanks John

Thanks for the welcome and info (randa) i only have mobile access so will upload a pic of the van next time i get to a wifi point

. We have just replaced the herzim strip on the waist rail and around the door. It looks so good that we have ordered more to do the rest of the van. We got ours from leisureshopdirect. Unfortunately there is only one way to work out how much you need and that is to measure your van. Jandi can supply white or red, we got ours elsewhere because we decided to be different and we have gone with blue. It's much easier to fit if you warm it with a hairdryer. Good luck.

We went with blue too, I did the waist and the bottom rail, round the door and gas locker, which leaves just the side locker left to do. We also tightened all the screw at the same time, I was surprised how loose some of them were, also removed the mudguards and found no mastic at all on the offside, fitted new grab handles [from Jandi and next day delivery] then put plenty of sikaflex in everything and fitted it all back together. I must say that the blue herzim does make it look nice as our 04 has a blue stripe in the paintwork so blends in nicely. we may do the top next, but that hasn't come loose yet. we got ours here
