I am searching for a Puck L, 225GT or 230GT and wondered if there are any known issues with these models. Rather than going for a purchase blindly it would be nice to know what to look out for. Does anyone have experience of these great looking vans.

Also I am thinking it would be nice to have a motor mover (for when I get even older) and wonder if people have any experience based opinions about these rather expensive options?

Thanks in advance.

3 different axles fitted to these depending on age and spec, 750, 790 & 850KG, the 850 is preferred if you want a mover as it gives a bit more payload and clearance

Hello Zippy,
Thanks for taking time to send me the information. I didn't have clue about the various axle. I'll certainly look into this in my search for the 'van. They are not plentiful secondhand or at bargain prices either.

Hello Randa,

Thank you for this tip. I will certainly examine the areas you highlighted. I recall seeing an excellent series on Youtube where a chap called Steve Bradfield literally rebuilds an Eriba including renewing parts of the frame. Having seen Youtube I am even more impressed with the Puck range. I think I am catching the Eriba bug. It's just finding the right one.......................


I'm also wondering if a motor mover is necessary. This was more an insurance against getting old versus being able to continue using/manoeuvring an Eriba.

I've looked at these Dom Fox photos several times, not least because I live very close to him and he has a 230GT for sale, and I never realised about the ground clearances until you pointed it out. His vans look well presented on the photographs and his prices don't seem quite as high as AL on the south coast.

I am still trying to get my head around what these cost and I have previously fallen into the trap of comparing them with "ordinary" caravans which on the face of it give you a lot more for your money. Of course I now realise the whole point of the Eriba and that a purchase is a sound long term investment financially, quite apart from the enjoyment of ownership as reflected by the members on this forum.

Thanks for the info.

I have owned 2 puck-L's at various stages and both increased a little in value during ownership. I think the puck-L was a particularly clever design and always had a healthy demand, with it now being out of production for 10 years, there is always going to be a demand for good examples. Also due to the size many have been kept in garages when not in use

I have a 2010 Eriba Puck L 230 GT which I wish to sell. Serviced annually. Motor mover. Good to very good condition. No known faults. Owned since 2013 but age catching up (with me). Viewing welcomed - I have yet to consider the price but will sell reasonably as soon as I have researched the market place. Would be willing to include air awning, wheel lock and awning ground sheet.
