New Eriba online configurator

There is a German/Austrian/Swiss Eriba configurator online, which includes ability to add all the options and it works out price and weight. German language only, but otherwise very easy to use.

Hope a UK version is coming.


Edit - I added a link. The site will translate with Chrome or a browser add-on.

Good idea and Google automatically translates but it doesn't seem to give you a total weight at the end, though it adds up the option prices. And if you tick the GT Pack it still allows you to order the items in the pack separately so you could double count stuff.

PS what does the 'PH' tag on the 540 stand for?

Thanks for the link. I couldn’t see the PH so not sure. When you go through in the original german language on a desktop, it remembers the GT package and adds up the weight - I guess it’s something that only happens in german.

It’ll be nice if they bring an english one to their site, shouldn’t be too hard for them as it just words and a price list.

Sorry, it says 540TH, not PH and it isn't there on the first page, only on the second page after you select 540.On checking all the other models, none seem to have letters after their model numbers.

One other thing the configurator has highlighted for me is that they say that having a silver exterior adds 30kg to the vans weight, but I can't believe it adds 30kg to a Familia and a Triton and a Troll. Surely there must be some variance between models?

How can paint add 30kg? Or is the silver exterior a different metal? Not being in the new Eriba bracket I have never paid any attention to these differences.

I don't think it's the paint.

It's more likely to be that the smooth sheet aluminium is heavier than the dimpled stuff - the textured sheet gets a lot of its strength from the dimples whereas the smooth skin relies more on its thickness, hence the extra weight.

It's a completely different metal skin, presumably a thicker gauge than the white bobbly stuff to add that much weight. I guess the bobbles in the white stuff imparts additional structural strength so it doesn't need to be so thick.

I own a new dimpled van. The aluminium is thinner. If you push on the front and rear curved corners it has more give in it than my previous smooth bodied Eribas.

I wonder how the drag co-efficients compare between the two exterior finishes. Maybe those nice folk at McLaren would run a wind tunnel comparison for us.

I've just tried it again Colin and it worked fine. I did have a bit of trouble accessing it at about 9pm though, so it might be a bit 'flaky'..

Try a direct link off the german eriba site. See if that works better?
www.eriba.com/de/modelle/caravans/eriba-touring/highlights/
Choose Konfigurator top right in the blue menu.

I've just noticed the footnote that says all weights are for an average vehicle, which is fair enough as we know actual empty weights and MIRO's can vary from the published figures due to manufacturing tolerances. So I wonder if the 30kg for the silver exterior is for, say, a Triton and would be a bit lower for a Familia and a bit higher for a Troll?
