Hi to all you Eriba folk. We have just purchased a 320GT Familia 1994 model - in great order throughout - been very well looked after and we are looking forward to our first try-out soon.
I'm sure I shall have many "newbie" questions - the first is coming up:

How is the swing-out step normally secured? Ours seems sound but would not stay in the "closed" position. I resorted to putting a couple of nuts/bolts through existing holes in the frame - this seems to have done the trick, but I could not fathom what should normally hold it in the closed position!

Otherwise most things seem very much as expected - I caravanned for about 15 years from the lat 80's - so much of most of the "systems" are familiar to me. In those days it was a 6 berth (shhh) Swift.

Thanks for your patience - we look forward to being active member of your Forum

Thanks Colin, a beam of light appears!.

I should have mentioned that we are Dave and Taka (my wife is Japanese), and we are based in the Kingdom of Fife.

Thank you to all of you with your kind welcome to Eribafolk, we look forward to contributing to your cosmopolitan community.

Hope you enjoy your Eriba, for sure you should have a spring in your step, ours is like Arkwrights till!!!

Thanks Eribee.

Any chance of measuring your spring ( closed length and outside diameter is probably enough) and I will try to hunt them down on the 'Bay - I presume there should be two springs in my step?
