Freedom has galvanised conventional caravan chassis, apart from that, it is a less quality product, particularly regarding interior build quality than Eriba, but like any caravan, if looked after it will last for 30yrs or more.
Eriba is galvanised chassis in central areas but the steel tube framework that makes up structure of caravan is not, it's just painted. When looking at any Eriba, you need to crawl underneath & carefully inspect the square steel tube chassis members, particularly those that run around bottom edge of body. Do not consider Eriba if there is bad rust as repairs are difficult.
Having said that, unless you find a bad one, most Eribas are rust free & you can often find 80s caravans in almost perfect condition. Prices now are stupid, imho. Look on French & German sales websites, prices are more sensible if you want to buy abroad & plenty of the Eribas on UK Ebay for stupid prices are on sale from traders who buy abroad & sell in UK on a regular basis.
If you just want a small caravan then a Freedom in good nick represents better value for money but Eriba is a bit of a cult thing with meetings in UK & abroad & Eriba owner specific websites in UK/France/Germany, google & you will find them.
