Thanks - unfortunately one of the stages you mentioned “you now need to make sure the damper is not compressed on the van which would show up as the rubber gater being compressed. “ currently means very little. So much to learn. First I need to find out about compressed dampers.

Thanks Colin. I’ve just been reading up on van braking systems and it’s starting to make sense. My old Campervan was certainly easier but my Eriba is going to be so much more fun I’m sure. Great forum and really appreciate the support. Tickets to watch my first attempt at unhitching and getting my van down the drive will be on sale soon. 😀

That’s very helpful thanks. It’s all becoming a little clearer 😀

That seems like a good idea and solution thanks

we have no hot water however we do have a super kettle airpot (believe superkettle website is no longer) amazon have airpots around same price point.
we fitting a mini dishwasher sometime, once get measured up, to save needing to stand awhile to wash and save time energy heating water to wash up. they around 800watts and 6litres of water poured in top, so no plumbing required only need a bucket to collect.
am thinking of getting a induction hob vango sizzle are 800watts reading reviews only work with pure sine wave inverters..
we have solar inverter and a battery. there lots of eriba options, they had a gt pack may wish to look into. that used to do blow air heating with the ultra heat.
congratulations on finding your eriba.

Thanks Colin I’m going to copy and paste your guide and print it off. Good man 👍🏻
