Has anyone tried one of these? Dometic club air pro DTK 261 D 61 (sorry don't know how to add link). Seems expensive but looks good. Would it fit?

With a minimum connection height of 2.35m I suspect not, even the later vans only have a connection height of 1.98m.

The one I looked at was for something like a VW camper with rail height between 180 and 225 cm.

Seems strange to me. An Air awning that is designed to look like a frame awning with the disadvantage of lost space on a connection tunnel and a high price. I'm sure it would suit somebody, but not me.

Looks quite a lot of bulk for simple eriba. Do wish someone would make decent quality relatively simple eriba awning but possibly better than the vango lightest stuff.
But something that can cope with uneven ground to some degree, possibly with carbon poles that can adjust. For the amount of eribas out there there has to be a market for a manufacturer !!

Have you seen these ? Vango AirHub Hexaway (low). We have one and we thinks it’s brilliant. Takes about 20mins to set up. Lots of space for us and the dog + kit inside. Light and airy and seams to withstand any storm. We’ve even had a Jolax carpet made to fit. Here is a link:

Hi Monoboard

I said something like that to the Outwell salesman at the NEC about four years ago (I felt that I knew him as I had watched him in so many Outwell videos)

Remembering that at the time they were just expanding from their great tents into awnings I tried to persuade him of the possibilities of the Eriba market in the UK (they were a Danish Co) but his response was that it was a tiny market in comparison to that for other vans. He thought it very unlikely that they would make one to fit the lower Eribas.

They now do a range of awnings for campervans and it might be that these fit our Eribas but I bet that they are not cheap...........

Look around an average caravan site and you'll see say 70 WWB's and 30 motorhomes/campers but no Eriba Touring/Feeling vans. That's the sorts of market proportions we're talking about. In that scenario you may see one Eriba, occasionally. We stayed on one 50 pitch site for two years in a WWB, though not all the time and we didn't see an Eriba on site once.

I also think the campervan market is way, way oversubscribed with awnings, but they keep rolling them out.

I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
But to settle down and write you a line

I thought the site at Corfe castle was small campervans, tent, no motorhomes, no caravans, due to access issues. Can you add a website link please.
