We’re thinking about buying an Eriba Familia perhaps about 10years old

They seem pricey , are they worth it 🤔

Hello and welcome. It's a seller's market at the moment and the price of all caravans has risen. Eribas are pricey but as you already know there's nothing quite like them. They will always have a cult following and hence hold their value. Good luck in your search.

Hi Jennifer and welcome to the forum

Yes you are correct in they they are not cheap, and as Stan says prices of all caravans are very high at the moment. However most of us who get Eribas absolutely love them - they are addictive. Also as Colin says they do keep their price far better than run of the mill caravans.

The problem seems to be finding them at the moment and those in top condition go really quickly.

Hope you find what you want.

In total agreement with what has already been said. We are on our 3rd Eriba. The previous two increased in value in the time we owned them. On top of that they are fabulous vans so go for it.

A note of caution though, all used caravan prices have risen substantially over the last 18 months, whether that uptick lasts, or drops back is an unknown. If demand does drop and recent buyers decide to sell, then there could be a similar downward movement to the pricing of more normal times, which would mean current buyers seeing a big drop when they eventually crystallise by selling.

in 2015 we paid 7200E for a 1998 Triton. I reckon we could well her for the same today - except she turned out to be such a treasure she's not going anywhere without us

and good luck with your search my opinion for what it is worth is yes they are worth buying.

Good luck in your search.
