Hi Guys,

SWMBO has gone and bought a 1992 Eriba Car that she intends to restore (for she read me!.

I'm going to do the more technical stuff and Laura will do the cosmetics.

I've started a blog with a bit more info but what I'd like to do is post any specific queries/problems we may have and hopefully you guys may be able to help or point us in the right direction for more info.

Right, query for today. There is a rather nice Eriba badged electrical switch/meter unit mounted above the wardrobe, trouble is that it is dead. I have taken it off and have found that + side (blue + brown -) of a twin cable is a disconnected. The cable has 12v on it. There are a number of unused connections but which one do I reconnect the cable to?

The disconnected cable is the one with the black sheath on it, doesn't look original.

Does anyone have a circuit diagram for this unit or can anyone suggest where I can get one? I have the original manual (French) and the english translation but no circuit diagrams, just how the unit is supposed to work.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris. Just a thought, that having the Eriba badge on it does not mean it's an Eriba part. It looks rather like a ZIG unit or one of the other proprietary made units. Also it would be worth checking out the Hymer users groups because there may be comparable parts in older Hymer motorhomes.
Can't wait to see it! Which model is it?

Hi Tony/Francis,

Yes I'm sure you're right, probably a re-badged unit. I'll try the other groups as you suggest.

It's a 580, with the documentation was the original sales brochure, I'll upload some photos of it tomorrow.

Chris
