Eriba at Lechlade closing

[Parksy]

Eriba Ltd who trade as Lechlade Caravans is unfortunately closing this coming Saturday. The announcement can be seen Here
I'd have thought that small lightweight caravans like Eriba's would have sought after with the high cost of fuel and the rise in caravan ownership.

It a pity because Eriba caravan are great to tow if you have a lightweight car they do have a big fan club out there is a advertisement in the Caravan Club Magazine wanted Eriba "s at Automotive Leisure (caravan Dealer ) .....

While regretting the loss of a dealership in that part of the country, it still leaves other Eriba agents in the UK, though.

I am confused. As I understand it Eriba is a continental make, owned by Hymer and sold and used all over Europe. So how can we have a company called Eriba Ltd in Lechlade? From the link it looks as though they are (were?) the UK agents. Does this mean Eriba are not now available in the UK or will somebody else supply them? What about Hymer dealers - will they not supply them, or will they have to be personally imported?
