Thanks for the great review guys and nice to see an Eriba. What you have to understand with the Hymer/Eriba’s is the build quality and the long shelf life of these vans for the price. A caravan like this will last you 20 years plus. Our little Puck is 20 years old next year and most people really cannot believe its a 1999 model when they see it on sites. Thats really where the money goes in your investment. Rod x
Thanks for your comments Rod and yes we see people on site who have Eriba Trolls and they are still going strong and to be fair still look like new, it’s all relative to how they hold the value and what people get out of them. If your happy and they are well built then it’s got to be a win win all round. 👍👍
We look at all your comments and try to help as best we can. At the end of the day this is for the community and for you so thank you for pointing it out. 👍👍
I know where your coming from. I must say at first I thought it was quite plain but it did grow on me after a very short space of time. It did help that it all felt just so well made, solid and functional but must say I still prefer ours with the grey GRP sides as it looks different. 👍👍
Great video. Thanks for the review. Just a quick point. The number plate location point looks really small. Will it accommodate a UK number plate? Thanks
I must say this does have all the whistles and bells. Apart from underfloor heating it almost has it all. I think that it’s worth the money (because of the build quality and products used) but not necessarily that I would be happy parting with this amount for a caravan. However I must say that someone else has commented on this and stated that they have an Eriba and it will last for years and retain its value so like we say people do pay this amount for the likes of Airstreams. We just think it’s a really interesting discussion point. 👍👍👍
Hi guys great review and walk through and attention to detail not keen on van though door on wrong side can't believe they selling van in UK with door on wrong side at that price yes build quality is good but bathroom is a let down and sink in bedroom is a no go but apart from that it a nice van inside well done guys all the best .kev
Great review people! But my feelings are the same as Rob Forest, bathroom is cramped, £45k and no microwave!!! I'll stick with our Sprite EB. All the best, Black country Dave
Yeah nice van but a nice price also. 👍 Yes all being well with mummy tow we should be at the show Thursday and Friday. Hopefully can catch up with everyone then. 👍👍 Are you able to make it ?
A real German Tank!!! At that price and weight it puts it out of reach of 99% of the British Caravaning Public I would have thought. And where is the Microwave!?!?!? All you are really paying for is the NAME, and not much else. Jonathan.
Looks beautiful inside, love the lounge but I feel the van is a little quirky. Bathroom is very small (at this price bracket) washbasin in the bedroom not happy with that could see me banging my head whilst brushing my teeth. I don’t like having to remove toilet cassette through the awning. Build looks granite like, love the rear styling.
Thanks for your comments Colin, I do know what you mean with the bathroom but I must admit I don’t use our van facilities really so it is a little wasted space for me so do prefer it being smaller also you would have to remove any toilet tissue if you did have a shower as it’s like a wet room really. I also agree with the toilet cassette but also I wouldn’t be keen on the fridge exhaust gasses in the awning also. I must say it did feel premium all round but probably not really the exact layout we would be looking at. What do you think about a 40k van in the U.K. if it ticked all your boxes ? Yay or ney?
Bellisemo piece of equipment. 2 tons?? Even towing with a monster truck...it needs 2 axels/ four wheels. Im sure Hymer knew that, but cost prohibitive for buyers....
Sorry, I don't like it :-( Number of things for me: weight, cost, styling, door on wrong side, lol and electric in awning and terrible washroom/bedroom sink! At that price I'd want a fully lined shower too!
Great review but it doesn't seem as practical or as well thought out as the Isonzo, and for half the price!!. Not a fan of the shower / toilet layout at all. Keep up the good work guys.
Gasping price ,poor tutorial Please Please show the shower doors open and CLOSED this is one of the most important features.O and £1 for you for every time you said ABSOLUTLY BEAUTIFULL
Karina, your presentation style is great. Both you and Jules make a great team. You both work well together in front of the camera.
That’s really kind David thank you. 👍👍

Hi both, this is a great review, your getting quite good at this sort of thing lol, take care x
Thank you. 👍👍
My German friends advised when ask, which German caravan would you buy. He answered without doubt Knaus. Is he biased?
Great review frank and gritty ... Loving your work
Excellent review and thanks for taking on board my comments about the weights.
We look at all your comments and try to help as best we can. At the end of the day this is for the community and for you so thank you for pointing it out. 👍👍
I really like the interior of this van. Not quite so sure about the outside though. Looks well built...Thanks, Graham

Looks like a lovely quality van for those with deep pockets and a large tow car. Great detailed presentation, thank you for sharing 😀👍🏻
Thank you for commenting, I agree I think my arms are a little to small for my pockets on this one. 👍👍😂
Great video. Thanks for the review. Just a quick point. The number plate location point looks really small. Will it accommodate a UK number plate? Thanks
Hopefully you have seen the picture we shared on Twitter. Hope that helps. 👍👍
Nice vlog guys keep up the great work.😄
Thanks Gary, it’s nice to hear. We love bringing alternatives to the market for people to look at. 👍👍
I like the kitchen, but that's about it. Certainly can't see where they get that price tag. Does have a very nice usable max payload.

Thanks Kev. Really appreciate you sharing your thoughts. 👍👍
Great video guys.. Really interesting to see something different! Big old caravan for a single axle!!
Great review people! But my feelings are the same as Rob Forest, bathroom is cramped, £45k and no microwave!!!
I'll stick with our Sprite EB.
All the best,
Black country Dave
Have been waiting to see what you thought BCD. thanks for commenting. All the best J. 👍👍
Nice review guys, looking forward to having a look round one of these myself. Love the bed analogy :)
Lovely.
We looked at these the other day. Too heavy and Tad on the Pricey side. Lovely inside though. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah totally agree. It really narrows down your tow vehicle but nice to look at I must admit. 👍👍
Lovely van. Are you going to the nec this month?
Yeah nice van but a nice price also. 👍 Yes all being well with mummy tow we should be at the show Thursday and Friday. Hopefully can catch up with everyone then. 👍👍 Are you able to make it ?
@@HereWeTow only on the Saturday unfortunately.
That’s a shame would have been good to catch up.

Great review guys, lovely caravan Not sure I'm liking the wash basin in the bedroom not liking the 44k price tag.
Cheers
Jon and Karen

Ps your Adria beats it hands down on so many levels. The price difference equals an awful lot of holidays. Thanks for demonstrating the Hymer.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. 👍👍
I reviewed this caravan and did not like it. I though that £44000 is a bit much! For a caravan! Cheers Oliver
Awful van. Not a patch on my Swift Elegance. How can they justify the price? Good detailed review.
Bellisemo piece of equipment. 2 tons?? Even towing with a monster truck...it needs 2 axels/ four wheels. Im sure Hymer knew that, but cost prohibitive for buyers....
great review as usual but that shower room is a joke, not for me even at £30K.
Good review but poor bathroom no room what’s so ever I wouldn’t be paying that price seen nicer for half the price thanks for sharing 👍
Yep, lots of choice out there so there will be more vids from us. 👍👍
Sorry, I don't like it :-( Number of things for me: weight, cost, styling, door on wrong side, lol and electric in awning and terrible washroom/bedroom sink! At that price I'd want a fully lined shower too!
Rob Forrest I guess the door is on that side because in Germany they drive on the other side of the road, so it’s mirrored?
Yes
Great review but it doesn't seem as practical or as well thought out as the Isonzo, and for half the price!!. Not a fan of the shower / toilet layout at all. Keep up the good work guys.

Way over priced...blind door to shut off bedroom??? £43.000 for that i rather spend that on a van and 4x4 .
Really like it but the colour of the wood would be more nice and dark
