Eriba familia restoration part 1
Ойын-сауық
Eriba Familia 310gt from 1992
Having discovered that I had a rust issue around the edge of the caravan I’ve set about to restore it over the coming weeks and months. I hope to take it apart enough that I replace the metal that needs replacing and put it back together to how it was originally.
Part1 shows how I took it apart taking all the cabinetry out to enable the floor to be removed so that I can refabricate the metal frame

Hi thanks for watching , the interior walls are a kind of hardboard with a wall paper on it which is stuck on at the time of manufacturing they are wipe clean but can damage if knocked to hard .
Nice work! I am wondering though, how this frame got so rusty? They say "fully galvanized frame" on new Eribas now. Were they also galvanized back in the early 90's and before? I am asking becouse I own a polish Predom N126N from '91which can be described as "socialistic/more primitive fiberglass copy of Eriba Familia 310" Not with the body looks but layout and most of the solutions inside are exactly the same (copied). Anyways I want to tell you that fully galvanized frame of my caravan looks like new after those 30 years. And nobody gets any problems with those Predom galvanised frames. I am planning to get myself Familia 310 and now you got me scared that they rust like hell 😳😁
Did you finish it?

Not yet , I don’t have the caravan at my home and it’s to far away to travel to under current circumstances but hopefully I can get back to it soon and finish it and dare I say use it this year 😊

I have just purchased a 1994 Eriba familia 310. Had a service today and it is very damp. Mainly around the windows. Would you be able to give a quote to rip out what’s needed and make good or is it not your line of work.

Sorry I’m only doing this as a bit of a hobby , if you have a lot of damp around the window you can take the panels off inside to see the damage it’s only a covered hardboard so you can replace that plus the polystyrene is easily replaced too, the window rubbers can be bought on line and put back in with a bit of silicone and care , alternatively try Kool classics eriba caravan restorers in the south of England they maybe able to help . Good luck I hope you get this sorted 🤓

@@stevebradfield5939 thanks Steve. I do want to look behind the wall. If I replaced that hardwood. Is that just plywood? What thickness do you think.? Also I have watched your video a few times but still can’t work out. What’s the walls made up from. There is the outer shell then is it just polysterine abd then plywood.
Why not built one from scratch. You seem to have the skills.
