Well spotted Colin...

Well we’ve just spent our first week in our New Eriba Troll 540 and are exceedingly disappointed with the build quality. Not a patch on our beautifully put together Coachman we’ve just sold that was faultless for 5 years

Smiles, I still think you need a couple more trips under your belt for the Eriba to work it's charm, then you can judge if it's worth getting all the faults sorted.

In our household the other half was the one most enamoured of the Eriba brand, I was less enthralled but now we have one I am the most enthusiastic, can't wait to retire and hit the road a lot more often, for myself I doubt a uk standard caravan from 1999 would be in as good condition as our triton, but we can all only speak from our own experience and on that basis we all have an equally valid point of view.

I'd say anyone with a name like "Smilesapart" has to turn into an Eribafan in the end- let's see what happens
