Hi Randa

They look quirky and interesting but it loses the point of why most of us (I guess) buy our Eriba Tourers - that is we use them as a luxury base that we park up on site whilst we explore the area with our cars & bikes.

These look heavier to drive around than a VW Campervan & probably are not as versatile. So other than quirky appeal I don't really get why anyone would want to go to all the bother of ruining a good Eriba caravan...............

I agree but from the point of view that attaching the Eriba to a vehicle runs the risk of parts for the base vehicle becoming a problem. It’s my biggest issue with motor homes. When we had our garage repair business we had a customer whose motor home failed it’s MOT because of a headlight. The vehicle was 15 years old and the headlight was no longer available. The motor home was off the road for months until we were able to track down a serviceable second hand unit. At least with an Eriba you can get get generic caravan parts as replacements.

I think lockdown has gone to your head, go and stand in the corner and give yourself a stern talking to.

Actually to be honest I can see the attraction too but only for a short break or even just a day out. Far too much hassle to drag the Eriba out for a quick trip to the seaside, even if we were allowed to.

Hi Randa

I take the point you are making to some extent. To have a small campervan type thingy to shoot off for a weekend has some limited attraction.

We still have a Berghaus Air Beam 4 man tent that I can put up the basics of on my own in about 10 minutes. I use it most years for me to camp for a night or two with some old college mates in the Lakes. Thee is a small caravan bit with EHU on the site we use but I would never take the Eriba - they would all try to sleep in it when it rains (and it nearly always rains)

I could see the attraction of a campervan for something like that but the tent only cost about £400 5 years ago and VW Campervans cost a smal fortune.

Also when we were in Angelsey this September I paid particular attention to T6 Campervans as a friend had ordered one. They seemed to be constantly moving stuff around in them unless they had one of those stand alone awnings. It looked a terrible fag and waste of time.

Plus the last time I was in aVW Campervan a lifetime ago on the Isle of Aran it was so underpowered and unreliable that we used to have to get out for it to get up hills. Four of us slept in it and the air was very ripe by the morning.

On reflection give me the Troll everytime.......
