Wheel Sizes

Yet again, Hymer/Eriba has thrown build uniformity out of the window.

I've just been in touch with a German Eriba owner who is in the process of fitting Jeep Wheels onto his '95 Troll.

When I asked about the 5 stud wheel drums he said they were standard on his van. This was backed up by another Eriba owner with the same age van.

As far as I was aware, all pre-2000'ish vans (anything the same age of earlier than the purple or yellow stripe) had 4 stud wheel drums and 13" wheels?

I wonder if it's to do with a BPW "T" Pole chassis which I think is distinguishable by its round tubular framework as opposed to the ALKO rectangular tube chassis?

I can't verify but I believe the 5 studied axle is the upgraded one with the higher weight allowance,. If your in contact with the owner ask him what his MTPLM is.


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

If someone asked me that I'd give him what for.

A chap's MTPLM is his own business, and no mistake.

Looking at the photograph I just can't see how that's going to work.
Surely it's going to be in contact either with the wheel arches or other parts of the body ?
Also I'm confident his insurers wouldn't be happy.
