As premium models from HYMER, ERIBA caravans combine reliable quality, exceptional comfort, and winter readiness—plus a cult following! In this comprehensive buying guide, we'll help you choose the ideal model based on your specific needs for size, weight, and sleeping capacity.
What factors should you consider when selecting the perfect caravan? Size, weight, and the number of sleeping spaces are key considerations. Below, we explore different needs and recommend the ERIBA models that best suit them. Whether you're looking for a compact, versatile trailer or a luxurious travel companion, your journey of discovery begins here.
The perfect caravan ensures comfort for everyone, from restful nights to enjoyable days spent exploring. The number of sleeping spaces and the size of your group will guide your decision. ERIBA caravans offer various layouts designed to meet the needs of different travel groups.
If you're seeking a compact and lightweight caravan for fewer passengers, we have just the solution. The ERIBA Touring is ideal for couples or small groups of up to three people, offering a comfortable and stylish travel experience.
Other great options for couples and small families include:
For those who need a bit more versatility, the ERIBA Feeling provides a perfect balance. Its pop-up roof offers extra space, and with the optional sleeping roof package, it can accommodate two additional people, making it an excellent choice for both couples and small families.
The dimensions of a trailer affect various aspects, such as interior space, number of sleeping places, required space on site, and driving behavior. You can find out here whether a small or large caravan suits you best.
We define small ERIBA caravans as those with a body length of up to 5 meters and a total length of approximately 6 meters. Buyers who opt for smaller models often prioritize maneuverability and ease of handling, and, as always, we ensure that comfort accompanies you wherever you go.
Did you know? When measuring caravans, we differentiate between body length and total length. The body length refers to the caravan itself, while the total length includes the towing hitch, typically around one meter in length.
Small caravans offer several advantages:
These compact models also require a smaller towing vehicle, which is ideal for those with a smaller car or who are not planning to invest in a new tow vehicle.
While small caravans have less interior space compared to larger models, they are still perfect for 2 people or families of up to four. If you're planning a romantic getaway for two or an adventure with young children, these models are excellent choices:
The weight of your caravan plays a critical role in various aspects, from fuel consumption to towing compatibility. A lighter caravan not only reduces fuel consumption but also allows for easier towing with a smaller vehicle. If you're not planning to purchase a new tow vehicle, the weight can be a deciding factor in your choice.
Thanks to our use of advanced PUAL technology and innovative furniture construction, we focus on lightweight designs without sacrificing comfort. Small caravans like the ERIBA Touring, ERIBA Feeling 425, and ERIBA Nova Light 425 are among the most fuel-efficient options in our range.
We express a caravan’s weight in several terms:
Example: The ERIBA Touring 310 has a ready-to-drive weight of approximately 810 kg in its base configuration. The technically permissible total weight for this model is 1,000 kg, meaning you can carry up to 190 kg of additional load (such as tents, tables, and other luggage), depending on the chosen equipment.
Lightweight trailers offer the freedom to travel without needing an additional driver’s license, while still providing ample space for your luggage. Our selection includes everything from mini caravans with built-in toilets to compact family models that are true lightweights.
The ERIBA Touring series includes models with a maximum weight of just one ton, making them ideal for smaller towing vehicles while still offering comfort and practicality despite their compact size.
Caution: Be sure to check the permissible total weight and payload based on your configuration (including any optional equipment) using our configurator.
Caravans up to 1.3 tons, such as the following models, provide plenty of room for luggage, even when paired with less powerful towing vehicles:
Caution: As always, verify the permissible total weight and payload in your chosen configuration, considering any optional equipment.
