It's difficult to find a new price for a caravan window but the front windows for an Eriba are a bit special so I would think Brian (Aaron Calder) had a good deal.

I wonder if in view of this accident, we should bring up the subject of towing covers and whether folk who currently own a cover think that a cover would be stout enough to absorb an impact of such magnitude?

Brian also drives a low slung car so less of his van is sheilded by the car.

Filth!

The lovely Jean at Jandi has just contacted me with the price for a new replacement window. Brace yourselves:

Window: £394.77 + £78.95 VAT = £473.72

Carriage: £20 + £4 VAT = £24.00

Total: £497.72

If the one I've ordered from Wales for £150 (see, it was a bargain) is OK then my no claims bonus remains intact. If it isn't and I have to buy a new one it will have to be an insurance claim.

The reason for my question regarding protection from a towing cover was because before they became popular, I photographed this one on a Swiss owned van at the 2015 Eribafest.

By his own admission the owner stated that it was a bit of a prototype but it did have quite a good padding layer. We have though about it several times since and Brian's accident is starting to focus our minds.

That would be a minor drawback for us too as I am able to see a little through the van.

So, the thin blue line gets a bit wider?
