Whether you canvas camp or tin/glass fibre camp, depends a lot on size and what you want from camping.
We have had, in the past, tents, trailer tents, caravans, motorhomes, folding campers and we are now on a 4 berth caravan.
Each type of unit means different ways of camping and each brings with it advantages and disadvantages.
We started off with 2 man mountain tents and camped in the wilds of Glencoe, Cairngorms, etc but as our tents got bigger, we became more restricted to where we could pitch.
Then we took up Classic Car ownership and got ourselves a TT.
This introduced us to "joys & luxuries" proper cookers and beds and we Morris Minored and TTed our way all over England, Ireland and Scotland.
We then reversed the role and putting the cart before the horse, started A-framing the Morris behind a campervan and continued touring all over the UK.
Now, as our health is beginning to fail, we are in need of a more comfortable and less stressful form of camping and so we are embarking on our future years with a more practical caravan.
Every unit we have had has given us the pleasure of the type of holiday best suited to that type of accommodation.
We wouldn't use a mountain tent in a caravan park, but we could.
We wouldn't use a 4 berth caravan for wildcamping, but we could.
Get your Eriba and plan how best to use it and it will give you years of fantastic holidays.

Hello all, we're a family of tent campers but as our children grow we would eventually like a small eriba for when it's just us two, anyway we've started a saving plan. I put my plans as a question about changing to a van on the camping under canvas part of the forum, well I was surprised at all the negativity, the main saying stay away from vans, one said all the problems caravaners have outweigh the good. Any one on here changed from a tent and never looked back? Not looking for nothing huge, just a small east to tow eriba and a small awning, thanks, gaz
We enjoyed tent camping, but there were parts of it we just didn`t like. However, we also felt there were many parts of caravaning we didn't like too. We were offered the chance to buy an Esterel folding caravan, and haven't looked back. You have a quick set up time, fixed cooker, fridge & sink. As well as somewhere to eat and sleep. With the awning up it doubles the space. We call it posh camping as there is no loo/shower, but it has the comfort/refinement(?) of a caravan. I say go for it.
