The essentials: flamingos, gnomes and a washing machine drum

There are a few groups on Facebook for Eriba owners e.g. Eriba Puck, Eriba Touring and Eriba Folk.  There is also an Eribafolk forum.  I have joined as many groups as possible hoping to pick up advice.  Some of the posts can be quite technical but I ignore those and concentrate on the important things like paint spray colour.


I recently posted on the Eriba Puck Facebook group that I was about to own an Eriba Puck and asked what essentials I should buy.    

This is a summary of the important stuff and some much needed advice gratefully received. 

Kettle, toaster, pans , plates
There's storage under the seats but wouldn't put stuff under there that you need every day because you would be taking the seats off ever 5 minutes to get something
Full gas cylinders, electric hook up cable
Don't forget a euro adapted if your going into Europe
Fresh water carriers, waste water collectors
I always buy food when I get to where I am going
Beer. ..
Wine. Nothing else
Fairy lights and bunting
Flamingos
A Cobb - light it up, stick a whole chicken in it, a few potatoes and veg in the moat then a couple of hours later it's all ready 😄  You can literally cook anything - steam, smoke or roast - I've made cakes, curries, roast lunches
Good hitch lock and tyres not older then 5 years
Rear window box and wee pot
Memory foam topper for a decent nights sleep!
Collapsible bowls, collapsible tea pot, collapsible everything to save on space
Torch. Vital!! And crocs! Something you can slip on easily to get to shower room and wear after shower, as well as a gown. You learn the hard way! (I hate having to put on clothes when still damp from a shower)!
Make a master list so you remember it all for each trip. It's so annoying if an essential is left behind
Wine, wine glasses, t light candles, more wine oh and some wine plus a wee pot for the middle of the night as one leads to the other
The inside of a washing machine - doubles up as a BBQ and fire
A wee pot, definitely a wee pot, a big one too if you have to go several times in the night

Oh and yes - flamingos and gnomes essential. Especially gnomes as they are becoming extinct!
