The smallest Eriba Touring with a built in loo the Familia 320. (also known as a Pan Duo T). These first appeared in 1995 and are instantly recognisable by thier bold green stripes, then came the purple stripes and yellow stripes before the name change to a Familia 320 in around the year 2000.It is a 2 berth across van sleeper with a front kitchen.
None of the rest of the Familia range have a built in loo.
Roger - our 320 GT has one broad red stripe (the top one) and below that a number of thinner white stripes - I thought it was around '95?

Hi Dave. Yes, you're quite right.
As far as I can tell, the Pan (Duo) T was launched in 1993/4 which was about a year before the colour scheme change and, like most Eriba design changes, it took a while to fully "Filter" through if that's the correct expression to use.

Hi,
I am 6ft 2ins as well and I can recommend the Triton 420. However make sure you try the toilet area for size in the pre and post 2010 caravans. We had a 2007 Triton and I found the loo just a bit too small and also hit my shoulder when getting up "off the throne". It was the main reason we changed to a 2017 model. The 2007 did have a slightly better build quality however.
The 540 van was not an option for us as it is too long for our garage. The Triton has more than enough space for the two of us and the dog and has been comfortable for tours up to 7 weeks long. We use various awnings with it depending on the weather. These give space for more comfortable seating. We bought our 2007 Triton from Dom Fox and can thoroughly recommend him.

Hi Bill, thanks for sharing your experience of the Triton 420. Ill be taking your advice about checking out the throne! After having taken account of all the amazing and very knowledgeable advice we have been given so generously here, Judy and I have come to the conclusion that to satisfy our sleeping and bathroom requirements what we need is a 420! The plan would be to contact all the dealers listed here and the recommendations we have been given and see where it goes from there. If anybody within the forum knows of a 420 that might be available anywhere we would love to hear about it. Again, to all those that have given us their help we are most grateful and hope to see you one day soon!
Best wishes Neil
