Did anyone catch this program last Friday on Channel 5 8pm? It was the first of 6 episodes.

Only my opinion and I'm sure others will disagree but the way this program was put together inspires normal people to go out there and purchase one of these lumps and cause havoc on the roads

Mr and Mrs Merton .paid over their £300 a day rental and proceeded on their way, bouncing between hedgerows, loosing a wingmirror in the process (many of these have been buried into the side corner on many an Eriba) and causing a jolly old traffic jam. they state that you can go anywhere and park up at your leisure. At one point they were able to park right on the promenade of an east Kent resort and take a stroll and also there was a clear parking area for them outside the Hythe/Dimchurch railway station. Oh, I hear potential owners saying, That's jolly good isn't it. Free parking anywhere you go.

At one point the pair looked over a £600,000 van. This is not camping and although I'm rather envious of that geezer's money I just can't come to terms with how they could possibly call it camping.

What caused this thread is that there's one just along from us that looks just like the £600,000 one. Unless the owner is headlining at the Brecon Jazz festival and this is their regular home, it's a very expensive hobby. (the push bikes dumped outside the door suggest the latter)

The one on the Merton show and the one at Brecon had remote controlled garage and ramps at the rear John. By the way program two is on tonight.

What we did notice this year (and not last year), was the incidence of large camper van owners also bringing their regular car with them which they then used for outing and abouting. These came from as far afield as the Midlands of England as well as the south coast of Wales. And we talk about burning fuel and saving the Planet.

I agree with what you say Pete but their regular cars are normal size 5 seaters. That why they stand out. There are of course the cart before the horse brigade who tow a tiddler behind their campers.

Anyone we know? This was spotted in the first few minutes of tonight's episode of the program.

This year at the C and M C Site Kendal.

Last night the duo were at Hardhurst Campsite in the Hope Valley and while interviewing one camper this Eriba was in the back ground.

Does it belong to anyone on here?
