Just a little bit a rust, nothing to worry about

Believe it or not this was inspected by the VOSA chaps at a motorway service station.

I used to avoid them when towing the older Eriba’s as you assume they will just condemn it over a 8 year old tyre

Betty stopped by from Worcester for a service and a proper inspection of its chassis and floor.

This a late 1989 model and it must have been dry stored at some stage as the underneath has no holes or dodgy repairs like most of this era. It is in really good structural order with a solid floor as well.

Brakes had been a tad neglected, but after a good clean up, all ok with hardly any wear.

The only niggle is the hitch damper has given up, which will be replaced in a few weeks time, I have the earlier 120s one in stock, but not the 131r and they had to head back for work.

I like the look of it as the 80’s cream and brown stripe doesn’t really do it for me,

60’s, 70’s look great, real retro look, 90’s white and silver, love them, goldie silver can stain a be a bit difficult to buff up; but the 80’ colour scheme! not my fave, maybe I have had too many bad experiences with them, especially the ones with the red along the bottom, but still better than a eribelle

It’s not all vintage Eriba’s here in Suffolk.

We collected this 2014 Triton from a caravan storage facility near Stamford and took it back to our base for the following…

A top to bottom wash and detail, those poptop roofs do tend to get overlooked as you need to be ok on a tall step ladder and have long arms like Mr Tickle to reach in the middle 😂

After a day to recover we gave it a chassis service, habitation / health check to prep it to be sold on by the owners.

This has a fully galvanised chassis and it is a 2014, good to know… as some of the earlier noughties ones were only partially galvanised. Approx 20% at best.

This was lovely and clean to work on, no dustpans full of rust and crumbly floors.

Flushed everything out and then back on the road. As it’s fairly lightweight, we used the little caddy van, which was more than capable of towing it with ease.

This was serviced last year so the big question is what did he actually do as decades of old cobwebs and an inner bearing that required a blowtorch to remove tells me, that it had not been inspected for a good 20 years

Very local job today changing Alko Friction Pads & the bellows on a Eriba with the
AKS 2004/3004 stabiliser hitch

If you have a push down hitch and it makes a scary noise when you are towing simply replace your pads in the hitch then that’s ticked that box.

But, Don’t be tempted to buy the unbranded ones when comparing the price, as it’s like drinking your favourite brand of tea with coffee mate instead of milk, 🤮

Fit the Alko ones then forget

I know you can lightly sand them, but if yours look like this I wouldn’t go there

A customer asked me to prep his Eriba before he put it up for sale.

We gave it a service and hab check, changed all three tyres, fitted a new leisure battery, a new safety trip switch, a new chimney kit as they get a bit brittle with age.

Gave it a thorough wash and clean inside.

It’s a 2003 430 GT, a 3 berth triton, highly recommended as it has not seen a lot of use.

I like this size of Eriba as I find it easy to tow, next one up is a tad on the heavy side

If you are looking for a 3 berth I will pass on your details, but no doubt you will see it advertised with lots of pics shortly

Service time for this cracker in North Essex.

2021 Ocean Drive, couple of niggles with a brake overheating and DIY previous owner adding an extra socket with no earth as only used twin core flex wiring hacked into another socket wire. This customer was pleased that we pointed this out which I noticed once I took the hubcap off and when I used a socket tester to check for correct wiring polarity.

These have self adjusting brakes so when you pull on the handbrake and the caravan goes back a tad, ( slight slope on your driveway etc )then the handbrake goes higher, the little kicker as I call it rotates the adjuster one notch and makes the brake shoes closer to the drum and these were binding a bit more than the other side.

Slightly long winded description, but I am not a fan of this setup post 2015 and we are seeing more problems with brakes overheating due to it.

I would recommend just touching your wheel when you stop off at a services to make sure they are not red hot, if they are, let it cool down, then if you can jack it up and see if the wheel rotates freely,

If you don’t fancy messing about
2 options, 1). bangers and cash style, hit the drum with a hammer as they could just be sticking(older eriba)

Or if you are keen and want to get to your destination without any more headaches

With a flat screwdriver, back off the brake shoes a bit, it’s behind the wheel, on the backing plate look for a green rubber b**g, pull it out and you will see a cogged wheel like on a old clock, turn it a bit, one way will tighten it up, the other will move the shoes away from the drums, you’ll figure it out then your Eriba will be a happy camper…

On the road again East Suffolk bound, Cambs Eriba’s saved a puck L from a potential aluminium sheet wrap at the front.

So front window, two seals down and the caravan engineer, who certainly knows his stuff gave up as the window would not push in at the middle top and bottom and the generic seal would not pull back over the wall board. Trust me, if you can stick with the old seal do so.

They called an automotive window specialist, he said no chance and walked away, ao you guessed it they called me yesterday afternoon.

Got there after 10, was back on the A14 before 12, done and dusted, window and insert in, this is a large window being a Puck L and they can be a nightmare as the copy rubber seals are thicker than the original hymer ones, certainly not like for like, but after about 50 of the damn things and stupid hours wasted faffing about you eventually figure it out.
