Hi all,

Recently picked up an ERKA trailer tent off ebay. We're long-time campers who are looking to move into trailer tents, but wanted to give it a try before spending fortunes.
Anybody know where I can get any literature on the ERKA trailers?
Tried Googling, but not much came up!
Any help or advice much appreciated

Neil

Hi and welcome to the site - think tey're an older make not made now but still a good few about so someone might be able to help - was it anything in particular?? I'm sure you'll love it - makes all the difference having a bed off the floor to sleep on!!

Hello to you, and thanks for the response. Appears to be french. There's a plate on the side which gives the model as a Type 781, with the year of manufacture blank and the number 62629 stamped at the bottom. That, rather sadly, is all I have! Neil

Thanks for the response. Still no luck with documentation, but seems relatively OK on the water leakage front. Only had it up once so far though! Roll on a bit of decent weather. Neil

We bought an ERKA off e-bay too.

It seems to be a Chateau 4 and measures 4m x 4m. Built in 1986 (there is a dataplate on the bottom front right corner if that makes sense).

Only been up once in the staff car park on a Saturday morning to see what we got for £120 !

Already planning a French trip in it.

Excellent! Well at least there's a few of us out there with zero information on our rig! Enjoy France. I'm going to have a go at my local campsite first, to see how things are! Neil

Refurb going well! New Corner stands, canvas patched and proofed. Headed for Lake District at half-term with daughter. The wife doesn't want to risk it until we've tried!
Established we have a 1973 ERKA rig, which following minimal renovation appears absolutely fine. Bears out neil-erka's comments above. Neil.
