Hello Folks what's your views on the Eriba Caravan range. more so. the Troll 55 Range hoping to hear from somebody who as one. It's quite a quirky van, i think i could adapt to this little wonder giving time and a few extra's Regards Conqueror.
They are of course small but you can buy an old one-knowing it will be dry--they are built on a steel frame & dont suffer water ingress probs associated with a 'conventional' caravan 10 yrs old or more--obviously if you are looking at an old one just check underneath to make sure the chassis members arnt rusted-they rarely are--many old Eribas are in fantastic condition as they fit into a garage so could have been stored undercover--also it will hold its price so you will always sell it ok--the small size dont bother us-we only want somewhere to sleep as we always tow it down to southern Europe in the summer--I wouldnt want to use one in winter 'cos its so small but they certainly are well insulated & ok for winter use--also they tow beautifuly-straight as a die-but you could guess that from their streamlined shape--
there is also a new model for 2008 called the Pontos 660 its under 6 metres and has an island double bed. they also offer this layout on the triton 430.
here's a used price guide for the puck CLICK HERE, beware these are only guide prices and demand out strips supply therefore prices tend to be higher, having spent months trying to find a second hand triton we had to bite the bullet and buy a new eriba !
We sold our beioved Puck and have been looking for a Triton 430 GT cos its got 3 beds and a loo. They are so hard to come by, especially within our budget. They are really well made and any Eriba on the market gets snapped up. So if anybody has one for sale, I would like to hear from them.

Thanks Michael, The one above is sold and the only other is 12,000+£ which is beyond budget. I am a regular visitor to automotiveleisure.co.uk. Thanks again

Excellent caravans, with a unique construction utilising a metal framework to which the non-bonded panels are attached.
Pricey - but they last, and last, and last, so inexpensive in the long run, and with excellent residuals.
If they did a model large enough for our needs we'd have one tomorrow.

Try Jandi Caravans in Lothian. They import new Eribas to order and take old ones as deposit. They aren't cheap, but at least you will know that you have bought from a good dealer. It's well worth the trip after an email or phone call of course.
