Can't afforde cigars 17

Like a kid with a new toy - come to think of it I am a kid with a new toy!

Probably won't be out in her until September as we are going to Eskdale in July which is tent only. First trip will be Dartmoor Barley Meadow in September then probably Ashbourne in late September when 60+ Eriba's will be turning up.

One advantage of using a GRP box is that we can extend our season well into winter and will probably only miss January and February

Very nice, dave 17

One time when I was camping last year a couple camped near me in a similar but much older Eriba were similarly very keen and proud to show off their baby to me. Neat, well designed and made vans.

Basically they have not changed much since they started making them in 1957 - just so happens the year I was born! The smallest - the Puck - is really nice and can be towed by anything.

This van is the ONLY one that I can live with. The white boxes simply do nothing for me.

Rumour has it that they are stopping making the 320GT - and possible the Puck will be no more in 2010. Looks like they are moving over to a white box type van - not bad looking but not the same 17

They are beautifully made and very neat, I would love one but when we looked at them about 4 years ago my OH who is quite tall (& clumsy I might add) was always bashing his head of banging into something, says he likes more room so we didnt get it 17 Hope you enjoy it. I would still love one as well as my tents of course.

Very impressed Dave.   Good to see you arent abandoning your tent either. Eskdale is a great site.

What berth is it?

This is a 2 berth. You can get one the same size which is 3 berth but you loose the bathroom.

Certainly not giving up the tent as we love Eskdale and other tent only sites. The van will allow us to camp throughout the year and allow us to tour easily. We have wanted to tour Scotland but it not practical in a tent 

We are not giving up camping - we just now have more flexibility

Well they have brought out a "special edition" called "forever young" which is 8cm taller but a bit more boxier. Rumour has it that this will become the "standard" next year
