Bad News. There were only 4 entries in this catagory

See pages 52 to 60 in this month's Caravan and ********* Club Magazine ( no swearing on this forum either)

Don't understand the first statement made by Andrew Ditton however




Quote:- "The Club made a big change to its Caravan Design Awards for 2018. Whereas in previous years manufacturers weren't limited as to the number of models they could enter, this time around they were permitted to enter just a single caravan into each of the competition's seven price classes* ".

Class One is for Pop Tops over 1100Kgs.

Quote Lizzie Pope, Practical Caravan

"Special-edition Eriba caravans head into the 2018 season celebrating six decades of production with a classic look and extra kit across four models
The most distinctive feature of these special-edition vans is the retro-inspired two-tone paintwork
It is one of the most instantly recognisable tourers. And for the 2018-season, the smallest of all Hymer caravans is more eye-catching than ever.

To mark the Eriba Touring's 60th birthday, from September 2017, an '60 Edition' version will be available in four layouts: Familia 310, Triton 430, Troll 530 and 542 Touring. And all of these will be sold in the UK.

The most distinctive feature of these special-edition vans is the retro-inspired two-tone paintwork, Carrara White over Crystal Silver, teamed with smart-looking alloy wheels with a complimentary metallic finish.

A retro revival
Step inside one of these 60th-anniversary edition models and you'll see that the traditional interior receives a modern update with light-oak furniture and dark-brown upholstery – beige 'Cusco' is optionally available.

Other extras included in this special-edition offering are two extra reading lights, an externally accessed locker at the rear, a stone deflector, a pair of utensil bags, redesigned cushions, a mosquito net, a 30-litre water tank, a sink cover with a chopping board and a spare wheel with a bracket.

White, high-gloss overhead lockers with chrome handles also feature, while the worktop and table have an easy-care finish.

The fixed-rear-double-bed Familia 310, Triton 430 and Troll 530 models, and the fixed-rear-twin-single Troll 542 give customers a choice of four layouts.

Old meets new
Of course, this is in addition to the standard Eriba features that these diminutive Hymer caravans are well-known for.

This includes the traditional tubular-frame chassis and pop-up roof, but also more modern fittings such as LED, ambient lighting, a worktop extension flap, a pull-out entrance step, anti-sway coupling and automatic brake adjustment.

All models also come with mosquito netting and blackout blinds, cold-foam mattresses for the fixed beds and upholstery with stain guard.

Al-Ko Trailer Control, an underfloor storage tray, a bicycle rack and shower fittings are among the items on the options list".
