Do Eriba caravans hold their value? ›

The Freedom is a fairly basic caravan whereas the Eriba is an uplevel offering, very solid due to its metal frame construction and consequently not cheap, but it does hold its value very well because it's virtually indestructible (40 and even 50 year old examples are still to be found on the road).

Do Eriba caravans get damp? ›

Hi Tim welcome, Damp is also not a big issue for an Eriba because of the way it is constructed, however that doesn't mean they don't get damp. Ideally you will need a damp meter but failing that look for water marks and use your nose, if it smells musty it's probably got damp somewhere.

Many new RVers wonder whether it's really necessary to use RV toilet paper. The truth is yes. You do indeed need to use quick-dissolving RV toilet paper. If you don't have tissue that's safe for RV use, you shouldn't flush it into your RV's sewage system.

Can you Empty a Caravan Toilet at Home? Yes, you can absolutely empty your caravan toilet cassette at home. The contents are no different to what usually gets flushed down your toilet, with the addition of a little Napisan or toilet chemical.

How often you empty the toilet cassette depends on how much you use it. As a rough guide, for a family of four using the toilet regularly, at least every one-and-a-half days is probably to be expected. Thankfully, there's a handy indicator on the toilet that will show when the cassette needs emptying.
