No doubt, a really silly question, but what do you consider to be a maximum wind speed before you decide to stay at home? I'm getting such conflicting info - people say that 72 kms gusts are too violent, then they go on to tell me about how the Eriba isn't as prone to being blown about as other caravans..... (other forum.....)
I don't know what to think; We're hpoing to go away for Easter the the weather is going to be a bit windy here. What wind and gust speeds put you off?

Well I went in early December to Padstow and the site there was very exposed. Wind was strong enough to rock the mobile home next door but the Eriba was very cosy and not a problem. Google to check December weather and cornwall and that will give you an idea, but towing it there was also fine with no issues.

The aerodynamics of an eriba (lower height, narrower body, waisted shape pointed front) all make them tow better than the average caravan.
On site you may need the pop top down to prevent wind and rain getting in and not use an awning but thats the same for all caravans

Been in some bad weather but never felt the need to go home, disclaimer...........some extreme weather would not be suitable for any caravan.
