Here is a whole page of old Eribas on the German OldieCaravan site:

The weight of the small/early Pucks is impressive - under 300kg (660lb) for a standy.

I have slowly been making some progress. Tried a "rotisserie restoration" without the moving parts. Made a easy way to work on the bottom.



A new torsion suspension is now on. Someone in the past converted it to a leaf spring that made it about 5 inches taller and 3 inches narrower in track, seemed like a bad idea. The thing looked like a strong wind would blow it over. It scared me every time I looked at it. Now the width looks good and it is about 3 inches lower. The tires are oversize and it is now about a low as it can go with out changing the wheels. I like the size and ground clearance but its not nearly so frighting to look at any more.

All the rusted tubing is replaced and almost ready for paint. The front window frame still needed work when the picture was taken. If you look close you may notice some of the tube on the top of the opening (or bottom in the picture) is completely rusted away. I have the aluminum sheets now and looking forward to getting the skins back on.

Aside from the roof, are there any compound curves for you to deal with?
It appears they got an appealing over all shape without compound curves.

We, the dog Clyde and I have been making some progress. All the rusted steel has been replace and painted. New floor is cut and fitted but not screwed down yet.



One of the things important around here was sorting out a air conditioner install. There was a small bit of floor space across from the door. Added a tube frame to support a window AC at floor level. There will be aluminum duct added to bring air from under the floor into the sides and top to the condenser. Air discharge out the side of the trailer. Needed to do a bit of cutting on the cabinets which would be easier without the skin.

As long as I am adding weight also looking at doing the inside walls in Birch ply, it was a very light fabric. Also seems like it will be easier to fit the paneling before the skins. I think it is going to need a little hot water to fit the corners. After fitting and trimming they can be put aside of installation later. That the plan anyway. Clyde and I will see how the reality goes.

Great so far. I really think this is the cutest thing.

Now about that double post---you can delete your own if you catch it before a new post. Just click on the X at the right corner of the post.

Have you looked at Bendy Birch? It will bend those radii.
