Dave,
how do you get Windows 10's spell checker work on here?

Thanks for all who took the trouble to point out pros and cons of Eriba, a dedicated bunch to what seems to be a great caravan. However I am now reading posts by some members about water ingress around the centre joins ! How much of a problem is this and does it affect all models at some time. I guess a central seam is likely to move with time and the problem as I see it is you don't know its happened until you see the watermarks on the inside and by that time it has discoloured the wallcovering which by all accounts is difficult to replace. Is there a way of stopping this before it happens. I suppose the older the model the more likely it is to happen?

I don't use Edge, I use Firefox. Strange thing is I have "Check your spelling as you type" box ticked.

Paul, to answer your query re water ingress. The seal around the midline trim and the awning rail are considered to be good for about 10 years so factor that in and get in early. Something we didn’t know until after we had the issue ☹️.
Another weak point, not one we’ve suffered from, is the high level brake light apparently.
These are exceptions rather than the rule, there are old Eriba’s out there that have never had any water ingress issues. From what I hear of other marques of caravans they are far worse.

Thanks for that J & N. Can't help but be drawn towards the Freedom range. From what I hear not built so well but if they don't ever leak, or can't that has got to be a plus, As we will be moving from a Dandy I guess it would seem posher anyway. We will have to look objectively at all the pop tops and try to pick brains like yours on the way. Perhaps we can get out there soon.
