Image-1.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)Eriba Puck 3.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)Hi everyone! Ive just purchased my first Eriba, Pattie the puck! So excited to get her on the road, any recommendations for my first voyage with her would be greatly appreciated (I am based in Nottingham). Also any tips for a newbie to caravanning are greatly appreciated too! The puck has a leisure battery so going off grid is an option where EHU isn't available. See below for a few pics of her!

Welcome Emily. Have a look on UK campsites website for ideas where to travel and read site reviews.
General advice would be get everything checked over so you know it works, pack the absolute minimum for your first trip, which should be only a short distance from home, and then see what you forgot. A good chair is however essential and if you buy a portable loo then get a high one. Don't jump in and buy an awning, go for a good sun canopy as this will cover most of your needs.

She looks lovely Emily and wherever you go you'll get a lot of admirers. What do you tow her with?

Islay - looks like Etsy is a possible source for the cushion...

Thank you so much! I’ll be towing her with a 2016 seat Ibiza FR, I know not the most powerful of cars but that’s why we opted for the puck with it being so lightweight, lots of adventures to come!

Thank you so much Colin, amazing advice! I don’t currently have an awning but do have a sunshade and matching windbreak that came with the puck so I’ll see how we go on my first trip with those. Thank you for the recommendation with UK campsites I’ll be sure to have a look!

Thank you so much! Unfortunately that is a photo from the listing we bought her from and so the cushion isn’t mine! However I do believe it’s from Etsy or you can find similar ones on there!
