The Appeal
Eriba has been making caravans since 1957, and its products have a reputation for outstanding quality and longevity. There are Eribas still going strong after fifty-plus years, and they hold their value extremely well.
The Puck is the model that most people associate with Eriba, and is the most compact and space-efficient of the Touring range; it was in early versions of this caravan that German holiday-makers first began to travel around Germany and cross borders to their south. A two-person caravan, the Puck looks small on the outside, but is surprisingly spacious and well-designed on the inside.
This example is in fabulous condition, both inside and out, and is ready to be used and enjoyed.

Although it looks small from the outside, step inside the caravan and it’s surprisingly roomy – no doubt due to clever design, that makes the most of every square inch. Everything here is spotlessly clean and in fantastic condition – this is a caravan that has been cherished.
In ‘daytime’ mode there’s plenty of room to sit, either with or without the removable table, while when the bed is put together its size is remarkable, especially given the caravan’s compact exterior dimensions.
The ‘kitchen’ area has a fridge, a two-ring gas hob and a sink, plus a cupboard for water bottles and a neat cubby hole that contains a saucepan set on a non-slip mat. There’s a Trumatic heater, making this caravan usable for more than just the summer months.
We were not able to verify the operation of the appliances, but the vendor believes that everything works as it should.
The Exterior
- Bodywork in remarkably good condition
- Large windows
- Steps
- Motor mover (fitted in 2019)
- Winterhoff WS 3000 stabiliser
- Spare wheel, looks unused
- Wheelbrace
- Vango Kela air awning included
- Mains hook-up lead included
- Compartment for gas bottles
As with the interior, the caravan’s exterior is in superb condition. There are no visible dents or blemishes, the windows are all unmarked, and underneath everything looks to be in good order.
At the front of the caravan is a lockable compartment with room for two Calor gas bottles, while other lockable covers give access to the spare wheel and allow the waste-water container beneath the sink to be stored outside.
There’s a motor mover, fitted in 2019 at a cost of £1200, and while we couldn’t verify the operation of this the vendor believes that it works.
Also included is a Vango Kela air awning, that looks as though it has never been unpacked. This was also supplied new in 2019, at a cost of £465.
Summary
Weighing just 790kg, this is a compact caravan that nonetheless offers a remarkable level of comfort and space. It’s clearly been very carefully looked after by previous owners, and you would never guess that it’s fourteen years old, such is its condition.
With the market for caravans and motorhomes having been strong since the COVID-19 pandemic, this presents a great opportunity to own a high-quality and well-appointed caravan in time for the British summer.
