We need these in America. I am especially impressed with the Eriba Feeling, with the pop-up bed. The quality on all these van's is of tremendous quality. The light weight also allows towing with a fuel efficient vehicle. This means as fuel prices rise, more North Americans will want the the quality and design benefits of these gorgeous caravan's. Send 'em over!

Hi Andrew. I have an Eriba Troll 530 and they are a fantastic caravan to own. The shower head/hose is an option and believe it or not, the plug situated on the front of the kitchen unit works really well. We use it for our electric kettle and when plugged it in the lead tucks away nice and flush under the kitchen work top, wraps around the corner towards the door and back up on to the work top and kettle stand. It's quite taught so no loose cable to snag. But more caution required if you have young children. A small but perfectly formed van that if looked after will last you 40 years. A couple of weeks ago whilst camping at black knowl in the new forest, we had 7 people in for dinner split between the two dinette areas (our version doesn't have the fixed bed). Amazing. Really enjoyed the vlogs and safe journey home

Hugs to both you and Dougal. As always, excellent video. I truly enjoy watching your videos and listening to your thorough walk throughs. I just turned 65. As of yesterday. I once again made another birthday wish, always the same every yr. Maybe my wish will come true before I get older and loose my eyesight. I have a super strong yearning to have a nice enough RV that I can drive it to places I've always dreamed of visiting. You made my day complete. Thank you very much!!! ❤ love to you and Dougal.

Not sure if you have ever been inside an Eriba Troll but they are a bit of a tardis. We had 7 adults around the front and rear dinette in ours (not a fixed bed version) and plenty of room. If they were any bigger, the metal skeleton frame would make the van to heavy. I changed from a fixed bed Swift Challenger and have no regrets. That being said, if our kids still toured with us, we would need the awning to ensure comfort

That's one aspect of an eriba that isn't so useful. I actually love the design and looks of the bathrooom but in all honesty. It's just a toilet / basin room. Mine does have a shower and curtain but wouldn't use it unless I had no onsite option. It is only a small area and the thought of a wet shower curtain........no thanks lol

You make a very good point about the placement of an electrical outlet (socket) for a kettle; if you catch yourself on a boiling kettle (e.g., belt buckle), it can spill hot water in you and give you a severe (third degree) burn that's VERY painful (I did that as a child). The shower concepts for the "Eriba" units seems like they ALMOST completed a good idea and then just stopped short of giving the consumer a basic functional wet room; a little extra effort on the hand-held faucet would have made a big difference. The "Concept Hymer Duo Van" makes a clever use of space-saving (fold-away) options. It's nice to see comparative concepts. Your opinions are very useful.

Thank you Mr D. for another great vlog. Since Hymer aquired Canadian campervan maker RoadTrek, they started selling the Eriba Touring this year in N. America; I've yet to see one, but from what Ive seen on KZitem, they look very similar to the European versions.

Hi Andrew and Dougal. Thanks for all your had at the Salon. It must have been exhausting! I have been disappointed with Hymer on this side of the pond. They have put all their efforts into their class b's and it looks like they mothballed the Hymer Touring (the name in NA). I waited and waited and finally bought a 1975 Trillium fiberglass 13' trailer called Bertie (before renovations called "Bert" so i can hit the road..times a wastin'!

I just want to say one thing. The Hymers Ayers Rock would be a perfect van if they would just add 2 reading lights in the pop up tent like Volkswagen California as an example. Also very important. The bathroom has a fold up sink in the shower which is a fantastic idea. How brilliant it would have been if the tiolet would have stored out of the way temporarily as well which is already implemented in 2017 Niesmann & Bischoff Smove Fiat Ducato. When that toilet folded away and opened up that shower more. I was ready to sign. But I am in the US. Oh well.

Hi Andrew, Watching your reviews of the new trailers from Europe its mind blowing how expensive these small units are, some more than twice the price for very similar units here in North America. I addition there must be government sales taxes on the selling price making it even more costly to purchase a unit. Also these bathrooms areas are extremely small, its a whole different RV industry in Europe. Thanks again keep up the good work,...

Better build quality is a factor, both inside, outside and in the systems.. You can take some of these to a skiing destination for example, the insulation is that good. In the US, such insulation isn't needed. And the US RV buyers are more concerend with price than having a water tank that cannot freeze, or under-floor storage. Another example, US buyers value real wood interiors even though those are heavier. EU buyers want something precise, high-tech and very light.

Cheers Tom! Yes, the 20% sales tax is included in the retail price. And even in Europe, there is difference between the different markets as, for example, the British and the Spanish use their caravans/RVs in quite different ways. All the best.
