Speaking to a young lady on the Pro Tec stand at the show today, it would seem that they now do a front towing cover for the Eriba Touring, £199

"Please note that Towing Covers can not be purchased for Eriba caravans"

That was then, a young lady called Becky has just designed one.

Looking forward to hearing more on this one!!

Any idea how we order one and how easy is it to fit? It is not mentioned on the website.

Front towing cover: I e- mailed Pro-tec yesterday (info@proteccovers.com) and received the following this morning. 'We have just launched our new towing jacket which fits an Eriba Troll'. The launch price for a Troll is £175.00 until 2nd March, then £199.00. The nice lady on reception said they are making them for other models too but I didn't ask for details. I suggest a phone call to 01274 780088 for details or to order if interested. ( No connection to Pro-tec - just think it's probably a good idea.) And you can have one in blue or green.

I wonder how the sides and bottom edge attach?

Next they'll be selling Tow Cover covers to keep the tow cover clean

Have just spoken to Pro Tec. Suggested they get a number of pictures showing how the cover attaches to the van. The top is obvious but the sides and bottom aren't. They mentioned the word 'clip' saying it would be clipped in place. When asked were we expected to drill the bodywork to have attachments they said 'no. They are going to send me a sample of attachment clip.

Randa was right, the cover is in two halves zipped together - I am told the zip is well protected from touching the bodywork. The zip is two way so can be unzipped from the top or the bottom. Zips also provide access to the front handles.

They are sending me a sample of the 'clip', which is used on other products, and other items that may be of interest pictures etc. Whatever I get I will post it on this thread.

I have also been given the email address of the MD so that I can ask questions of him directly regarding the Eriba cover. So if anyone has a question send me a PM and I will batch them up and forward them. I'm sure there is a lot of interest in this product - be good if it had sides, a back and a lid we would then have a multipurpose cover for all occassions?

Randa - I think Admin should be the one to invite Pro Tec onto the Forum. I will PM you.

Colin - If you don't get a response to your dimple question I'll take it up. I don't like your description of how the press stub is attached to the vans side but was reliably told the process is used on other vans and leaves no marks - but thats probably on GDP caravan sides. I don't know about the dimpled Eriba finish but the smooth finish is I believe paint and lacquer and pouring hot water on the bodywork to remove !!!.
