Hymer Eriba Touring 420 GT : 2 Berth Caravan

[@anneshirley1748]

Great review Karina! Always clear and concise! I love the Eriba range especially the models that have a dinette one end and a bed the other, they are quite stylish for a small van! Looking forward to more reviews from yourself and Jules! Hope the refurb is going well! See you in the next one as you would say! xx

Thanks Anne and see you in the next one 😊 Karina

Great review, well done👍 You can also buy the little Familia 320 in the GT version with the smooth silver body and alloys for a bit extra money.

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you.. it would be silver sides all the way for me, I love them. Have a great weekend 😊 Karina

Thank you 😊

Bit small for me but agree about the build quality. Good review and nice to see you back.

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you 😊

Great presentation!

Thank you for watching

I like the look of that. Coming from a VW camper, this is a good comparison. It has everything my camper has plus a bathroom etc. It’s also stylish and cool and you have the advantage of using your car during the day while leaving the camping unit onsite.

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you for watching Mark, its a funky little think and well built. Enjoy your camper 😊👍

[@vgvlogs4182]

I really really want the rockabilly one, it is just gorgeous and I love how different it is. I didn’t want it before, simply because I had kids and needed sleeping space for them. Then I saw a inflatable swag and a external air heater, so the kids could sleep there no problem. And now i am back to wanting the Eriba more then anything, 😂

[@HereWeTow]

There is too much to choose from 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 Thank you for watching 😊

Always a great review Karina. Love these little Eriba caravans, they are the Vespa of the caravan world with heritage . Like a Vespa not for everyone but love it all the same. :-)

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you for watching…I love how you liken it to the Vespa.. as you know I like the 8ft vans so Im going Honda Goldwing 😆 Have a great week.. Karina

As an owner of an Adria Action, which has a 400kilo payload in Oz, I find this review very interesting. Pop tops are very common in Australia even on high-end vans. The 2 burner gas hob isn't a problem for us. We bought a cheap lightweight oven/grill from Aldi & combined with the external BBQ, ( I didn't see any external gas bayonet or external powerpoint on this van) & a cheap single plate induction hob from Ikea & we have an external cooking area. We use the bed as 2 singles. We leave the back cushions at home & use duvelays & scatter cushions in the Action that gives a bed 1.95m long x 700mm wide. & no setting up. I sleep as well there as at home. I'm 6'4" and 17 stone so on the large size. The washroom was a bit of a disappointment, Eriba should look at one in the Action with the folding washbasin. As a dog owner, I like a split entrance door. The fittings are all the common brands such as Thetford & Dometic & work well. The joinery looks to be of a higher quality than Adrias? It looks to be a great van. I don't know the current price of the Adria Action it appears to be similar possibly slightly cheaper, if it was over here & I was in the market I'd be giving both a good look. We could buy a larger van but this size caravan with an annex meets all our needs. It's cheaper, easier to tow, uses less fuel and leaves more cash in our pockets to spend on other goodies😎😎

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you Bernie..I love the Action, our payload here is nothing like yours but its still plenty for two people. The Action has gone up from £18k here to around £22-23k. The build on the Eriba is very solid but the Adria is also much better than its competitors such as Swift Basecamp and Bailey Discovery. Have a fantastic weekend 😊 Karina

[@berniebne8243]

@@HereWeTow Yep! the Oz Action & the UK one seem to have the same chassis but the Oz one is plated at 1400kg go figure? As we load it weighs about 60% of our tow vehicle leaving a couple of hundred kilos so we have plenty of wiggle room. We are loading up & doing the pre flight checks at the moment & then off to Glen Innes for the Celtic Festival. As the New England Tablelands are situated at over 1,000 metres we get to experience some real winter weather as well as the music & highland games etc. Plus the food of course.

Have a brilliant time 😊

Lovely to see you back doing these very informative, honest and helpful reviews Karina. 💕🐾

[@Worldwarone853]

It looks a great little Caravan for first timers or people that wish to use electric cars due to its light weight. The only things that l don’t really like is the pop up roof, they should of made it a solid roof and then they could of added some roof lights and ventilation installed into the roof as with cooking in such a small space with no proper ventilation the same with showering no ventilation for the stream other then opening a window were you would then lose your privacy. Due to not having these things in place l can see problems with mould etc. like l say l would like to see some kind of ventilation for when cooking and showering other than zip out panels in the roof curtain. But would not be for me if l was a first time buyer. But great review Karina. Paul and Linda

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you for watching..I think for me with the pop top I would be conscious that sound would escape through there quite easily, and equally come in and heat would disappear in cooler months. Have a lovely weekend, Karina 😊

[@paullawrence8572]

Astronomical price for that and net curtains! bit old fashion! But your very good at reviewing 👌

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you Paul.. Karina 😊

[@dom2556]

Good review but i think the roof in tissu is not good idea because he must be dirty very quickly because in camping you have often a lot of firs or trees who produce black duster and resin.

[@HitchUpAndTow]

£24,000, I almost spilt my beer. I must be out of touch with prices. Great review👍Mark & Coral

[@HereWeTow]

😂 Prices have rocketed..the bubble will burst I am sure.. we paid £21k for our new Adria in 2018 and that is now £29k so a huge increase across all manufacturers 😬 Have a great weekend 😊

[@graemeroberts5730]

Nice review. I suspect there is an Eriba to suit most people….😃

[@HereWeTow]

My favourite is the 820.. WOW 🤩

[@jazzgray3308]

is anyone getting an airstream vibe

[@HereWeTow]

You should have a look at the 820.. that absolutely is Airsteam vibe 😊

[@0n596]

Overpriced, get a used one ! And yes, get an electric car and pull this , especial when it is cold outside. How far you guess you make it? Old Eriba Puk had just 500 Kg !!!!

[@davidwoodford6894]

To be honest too many small cupboards. No cooker or microwave wash room small. I would not pay 24 thousand for one I could put up with the bed I like the shape but there is better more roomier vans out there

[@HereWeTow]

Thanks David.. yes, certainly not for everyone and quite niche, I agree with the points you make as what would also be less appealing to me. Have a lovely weekend 😊 Karina

[@andrewtucker3070]

Roomier certainly but better no. They hold their value far better than other caravans because they are far more solidly built than their rivals.

[@davidwoodford6894]

@@andrewtucker3070 ok for build but without a fridge and oven. That's just basic that's needed. Especially the price they want for one
