Hi does anyone know of a small lightweight awning suitable for an Eriba Puck! The awning rail is set at 1.66 mtrs. I have a full awning but in winter a small nylon one for storage of boots etc would be ideal for weekends. Thanks for any info at all.

I've been having the same problem trying to find one for my Freedom, in my case the caravan ones are too tall and the ones designed for campervans are too short - but at 166 cms yours may fit a campervan one well.

Have a look here

The Nomad will fit:

161

I gave up looking and have bought a canopy:

142

And I'm going to put a windbreak at one end. It will give a bit of protection round the door if it's raining, and it's very quick to erect.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.

You could look at the new Sunncamp Handy utility tent.

There is a door front and back, you might be able to pitch it close to your Eriba and roll up the back door.

Sunncamp Handy

We used the old Sunncamp Handy with our Romahome Hylo for a season but it only had the front door, I considered putting zips in the back but decided it was too much bother. We would have liked the new one with the rear door but ended up with a lightweight awning specially designed for the Hylo.

Hi again, Thanks for the info so far. The suggestions are helpful but having once seen a small awning fitted to the Eriba I was hoping for perhaps a specific models details. I do appreciate the replies though.

These links may be handy if you don't already know about the sites.

This one may do the job.


Bear in mind that a lot of the sleeves that connect to the van can be held with a couple of guy ropes thrown over the roof of the van and pegged or tied the other side. You don't need to use the awning rail.

That one looks good and should fit the Eriba, but sadly too short for my Freedom.

The problem with guying over the van is that the pop top roof gets in the way, Derek.
