Hi,
my recent new purchase, a 2021 GT550 was supplied to me with some of the wardrobe electrics exposed & some covered with a back box.(see pic)

I know that these are only 12v elecs but I feel they are prone to damage or shorting from belt buckles. zips etc.
Are Eribas always supplied in this state?, or do others have this problem.
I have researched various elecs suppliers but cannot find the pattern of grey backbox that Hymer use to fit myself as I'm pretty sure the Dealer will not be interested, any ideas?

It does look very untidy, though I can't see any exposed copper wire. Still not good as those loops of wire could easily get caught on something. It needs to go back to the dealer for repair, not of merchantable quality.

I have seen these covers on the Clearcut website

Worth a phone call.

Why should the buyer of a new van buy covers? It's the dealers responsibility and they'll be recompense by Hymer under warranty terms.

Mine is the same, it is a 2015 with exposed wires.

Our Familia and the Triton that replaced it (both 2016 models) were the same.
All 240 volt circuits have back boxes and are quite safe.

Another supplier of the back covers is Rainbow Conversions

Thanks to members advising of my wrong listing & where these matching, shallow grey back boxes can be found, unfortunately I cannot find them on their websites.
I have had so much bad service from my dealer (in Nottingham) that I really don't feel like contacting them or being involved with them in any way, in fear of yet more disappointment, but I'm pretty sure that a cover should have been fitted as it is on the 12v electrics above it, by the shelf.
Now that Becks has closed, there are no dealers in East Anglia that are nearer for my warranty or other work, surely that's an opening for someone to set one up, come on entrepreneurs, we're waiting to spend our money!

Our 2015 Triton 420 is fairly neat in respect of the wiring. Most of the switches are on panels where the rear is hidden from view or behind an access panel.
The exposed switches all have covers.
The rear of our main breaker and light switches on the wardrobe panel are covered with these.

I can't say if these were an original factory fit as we bought our Eriba 2nd hand, but it is a neat solution which would be an easy retrofit and cost very little.

This type of cover seems to be readily available on ebay and some dealers

for example....

Well, I stand corrected. I have just checked our Triton and all switches in the wardrobe have the plastic covers fitted.
Yet they definitely weren't on our original Familia, because I can remember routing out a little plywood cover for the light and 12V isolator switches on the wardrobe side and screwing it in place.
Should have checked first and not assumed what I thought I had seen. I'll go sit on the naughty step for an hour or two.

There's no room Jef, I'm permanently on the naughty step and claim squatters rights.

Thanks Stevejoyce, those covers will do if I can't find the correct ones, I have removed the one fitted above in the wardrobe to illustrate(see pic) 20210817_134255.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte), I really would like to match this if possible, it may be a type of cover that Hymer also use on their motorhomes etc, I would need three, fitted in a row to cover the collection of exposed elecs. in my caravan.

it looks like they still supply them from new with exposed wires, have a look at 5:14 on the video.

If you put it on English translate go to 3:53, he looks at the bed and it translates to "Here I would punish you, sit down and have a big one"
