a number of months ago hubby spotted a lovely (not to big ) Eriba touring caravan in mint condition , he absolutely loved it , anyway  since then he has been all over the net doing research and they seem to be a bit of a collectors type van , we have been to most parts of the country and loads and loads is CC sites but can't remember seeing any 

Do anyone have one or knows someone who do would like to know what there thoughts are

Yes I have had an Eriba 420 for the last eight years - utterly basic and most people would hate it,  but they turn their heads as we fly by.

I assume that you mean the Eriba touring range?  To complicate matters on the continent Hymer caravans tend to be badged Eriba no matter what size, Hymer is reserved for Motorhomes. Our 2015 Hymer Nova has 2 Hymer badges and one Eriba on the back

For us at the moment the touring range would be too small. But they are a design classic very well built last a longtime, they are initially expensive in terms of price per area and relatively heavy but they hold there value.

Thank you eurotraveller very much, we know they are pretty basic although some more modern ones have washrooms and yes we very much agree we think they are eye catchers to 

Boff the link was great but alas long gone know but thank you anyway

Ruby, they don't actually have to be basic. Like all German vans you can specify whatever extras you want on top of the base vehicle. It's just that we didn't ask for many.

The main dealer in the south is Automotive Leisure at Poole - their website will show you dozens of different models, both new and second hand. But sit down with a stiff drink before you look at current prices!

We have a beautiful Eriba, it's a familia 310 without loo or hot water and we love it.  No worries about dragging water or emptying toilets. We can be set up within 10 minutes of arrival and having a brew. To tour with these delightful Eribas is so easy.

The Eriba Touring range is unique in the caravanning world.  My particular favourite is the layout of the 420. Beautifully finished, of high build quality and high resale value.

We have an Eriba dealership about 20 minutes drive from home. 

I really like them but my wife is not keen because of the limited space. So we will stick to our British built Caravan.

Here's a website that I was working on to show some history of the Eriba caravans. http://www.titan.nessworthy.co.uk/drerichbachem.html

Hope the link works to give you more information. I have had to sell that project as am unable to finish it due to health but I  have  bought à Troll from a dealer in Norfolk.
