Unfortunately we discovered damp in the ABI and so traded her in for an excellent
Hymer Swing 530. An extremely well built caravan from Germany. Very heavy but a pleasure
to own.
4 - HYMER SWING
6 - ADRIA ADIVA 552PH
Our current caravan is an Adria Adiva 552PH. With a fixed double bed up at the front,
a central lounge and an end kitchen. It has plenty of room and is very well made
but again quite heavy.
3 - ABI AWARD NIGHTSTAR
This was followed by a second hand ABI Award Nightstar. A larger and more luxurious
caravan with plenty of room for our two children to mess around in.
Before we decided to purchase our 1965 Eriba Titan we had owned 6 other caravans.
Here is a brief description of each of them:

2 - ABI SPRINTER 450D
As our two children grew so did our caravan requirements. The tiny pop-top caravan
was exchanged for a new ABI Sprinter 450D. A basic low cost four berth, still without
a proper toilet.
5 - ERIBA FEELING 430
Once our children had grown, holidaying in a caravan was the last thing on their
minds. So it was back to the pop-tops with an Eriba Feeling 430. I wanted an Eriba
Touring but Christine insisted we needed more space. The Feeling was a compromise.
In 1993 we bought our very first caravan, a Freedom Microlight. A lightweight all
fibreglass body with a galvanized chassis. She was a 3 berth, 6’ 6” wide by 9’ long
with a pop-top and she came with her own much needed awning.
