It only takes 60 seconds for the French trailer to fully expand.

I looked at it about two years ago but since then the UK agent is no longer an agent which leaves me wondering where it will have to go when it needs servicing.

To me it was just more electro-mechanical and electro-hydraulic things to go wrong.I want simplicity in a caravan.

The cost was also prohibitive. I was being quoted something close to £40k.

Interesting space saving concept; I would be concerned about the lifespan/integrity of the seals between the modules. Not keen on the 'look'..... could be mistaken for a cable reel. That said, I have noticed smaller caravans are becoming more popular, particularly the 'tear drops', which a few manufacturers are now offering. If was to be in the market I would research the tear drops further using the Eriba as a 'base' to compare against . Also, I would look at the British made "Rocket".....

A Caravan and Motorhome Club warden would have a fit if they saw that, as they wouldn't know which way round to tell you to pitch it.

If it becomes unlocked when travelling on the motorway, you could take up all three lanes.

If it becomes unlocked when travelling on the motorway, you could wipe out all three lanes.

Fixed that for you.
