I've been away many times in the (now sold) VW Camper but the Eriba experience is something altogether different. Loving it!!

We're pitched up opposite a 35 year old French Puck at the moment. You can't keep these cracking little vans down.
Enjoy yours.

It looks great, you will find that owning an Eriba is like walking a cute puppy, everyone wants to talk to you..

When I go on holiday I like to pop my top!

Get yourself a hitch cover to protect against the elements. What have you done with your TV ariel cable? the end looks as if it is going to the hitch.

Don't bother. They're horrible things.

The hitch is robust enough to survive the elements without one. If it wasn't it'd fall to bits while you were towing in the rain.

They don't serve any purpose other than looking pants and to provide free advertising for the dealer the caravan was bought from or the make of the caravan itself.

You don't need the former and you already know the latter.

Really re the hitch cover. I thought it protected the electrics, but I hate advertising for the companies that sell them so have a Welsh one!!!

Thanks for the advice Taffy.
As a lightweight summer camper (and only if it's not raining!) I think a hitch cover would we a waste of money.
For the second point, I can see that the aerial looks like it's going into the hitch but it's just the way the cable is laying.

What is the white box it is going into. I have the same ariel Avtex 3000 that plus in the back of my TV. Is your little white box on the Hitch some sort of wifi

I was pulling your leg about the cover. Well, half pulling it.

For what it's worth I reckon the electrics would get wetter - much wetter - from the spray behind the car than from a bit of rain when unplugged and parked up.

It's a matter of taste, really.

I just don't like them, and that's partly because every other bugger has one

And that white box is one of these.

10 out of 10 Pepe it is indeed a Maxview. I've fitted the same unit to my last 2 campers and it has been great so it went straight on the Eriba

thats a god little box. I use my cable coming in to connect via one of the flat cable sections that can allow you to close the window on it. Not yet found out how it is in winter weather, but my track record of TV in caravan is a little sketchy.
