We've known about these for some years but there's not been much said about them. A couple of photos on Facebook earlier today reminded us that they used to be available. We believe that they were an optional extra when ordering. Perhaps someone can confirm this.

These are photos of Alan Hanks' Van with a high top (Eriba Owner's Club Treasurer):-

Useful for any giants amongst us but I wouldn't feel comfortable getting my head down in anything approaching a moderate wind and we won't even mention rain. It also seems to attract the dirt judging by those photographs.

When I go on holiday I like to pop my top!

They possibly did but you are so high up you couldn't hear them

It's the door that gets me !

I'm new to this and in the last two weeks I've scarred the top of my head and also my forehead more times than enough !

Only comment from the short**** who I'm married to is that 'it might knock some sense into me' !

Don't let her see this

Or, as a special friend of this forum once wrote "A Gentle Kiss on the Forehead" ERIBA LIVING (a gentle kiss on the forehead)

Like Chief, Steamdrivenandy is a big bloke , 6'-4" I think. Best tip, walk out backwards

According to my nearest and dearest that would not be a solution in my case .

I'd just finish up with bumps on the back of the head to match the front !

Exiting backwards means your head should still be in the van while your leading foot is on the step thus being lower and less likely to hit your head, my philosophy is if you drink enough falling down water even if you hit your head you are not likely to feel it

works for me ............. until the next morning ........................
