Hi there,

After loads of emails (around 30) we have managed to book a trip over the Whit weekend with our new (to us) Eriba Puck L; going with the two of us and our border terrier.  As this is our first trip - going tomorrow - any words of wisdom so that we can make it a memorable trip (for the right reason).   Have booked a lovely site in East Sussex between Hailsham and Polegate - will leave a review after the weekend.

Hope that everyone enjoys their weekend away (or at home) and lets pray for good (not raining) weather.

Hi there,

Thanks for the replies, guys.

Got back yesterday, had a lovely time but the journey there was a nightmare - it was bank holiday Friday - with congested roads and awful weather -  not good for first tow.  Took over 4 hours to get to campsite (took 2 hours and 40 minutes to get home) and Leo (the Honda Jazz) did several wheelspins - not good for a nervous passanger (me - poor OH)!

Once onsite had a lovely time (will be doing a campsite review soon) weather on Saturday - Monday fab (wished I had packed sun cream (for me - looking slightly pink) and cap for OH (looking VERY red!); poochetta had a fab time tied to her new 'stake' (she is now in 'respite' as she is sooo tired from all the comings and goings she need to have loads of sleep) 

All in all a great first time away with 'Lenny' the Eriba Puck L;  so looking forward to our next outing - will need to source an awning as kids (well daughter) wants to come too.

Hi Jax365,

Leo ( the Honda Jazz) was fine on the way back - no wheel spins at all - he did really well ; we think it was a combination of first time towing with stuff in boot and caravan and really wet weather (hubby said might have put foot his foot down a lightly too energetically!) .   

Are looking at a drive away awning - been recommended a Khyam Motordome Classic - we have a pop up tent but would be nice to have the extra room if weather not too good. 

Soo looking forward to our next trip out.

Thanks Guys for your posts,

Have been recommended an Khyam Motordome Classic from some Eriba owners on the Eriba forum.  Hubby wants something that we can erect quickly, is lightweight (and relatively cheap) and will fit two 'long' teenagers to sleep and have been told that the Khyam Classic fits the bill.  Have mentioned an Eriba specific awning to him but response is we could put the tent up (our Outwell Virginia 5) if we had 30/45 minutes to spare and they are really quite expensive!
