Okay I thought it looked pretty good but have not been around eriba pucks that much. Is there any other thing you can see from the pictures that look obvious to you or not right. _________________ 77 Westy p21

I thought they were but looking at the pictures it does not seem to look like they are. I'll have to text and ask her. Good eye _________________ 77 Westy p21

Seems fair, about what I quoted in my last message... $5K to $7K range.
Hope you enjoy it!
I miss mine but must admit, like my Meerkat now. It is very similar as it was designed from it but miss the back big tilt window. Meerkat has sliders. Also miss the table design of Puck versus Meerkat.
But I can't complain, it is close enough for me.

* oh I miss the door vent too. LOL. Would have been nice to have built-in stove but no biggie. We do all cooking outside. I have a small 1 burner portable I can use inside if need be. _________________ tj (the Amishman)

I've seen the meerkat on there website nice looking camper. Very similar to the eriba puck. I appreciate your feedback what do you think the best way is to fix the aluminum on the outside. _________________ 77 Westy p21

Wish I could answer that but I have zero body work knowledge. Maybe someone else here does.
My Eriba Puck had a nice rear dent (seems common as people must of been always backing into stuff) but I never fixed it.
Something tells me working with aluminum, which I think is the lower material on pucks, is different than normal metal work with bondo.
But maybe I am wrong.

Here are some pics of our Eriba restoration process. Its looking good after a few month of hard work.
We are looking for a missing part, the outside vent cover that goes above the front window. Anyone knows where to buy one as close as possible to the original?
Thanks!!!

I believe that I saw the vent cover you are looking for on Amazon. When looking for the Gravity Water Feed unit, I clicked on the catalog for the person listing that and saw it there. Good luck. Your Puck is looking great. _________________ 1968 Eriba Puck |

Any chance you remember the seller or have the link. I havenīt found any Gravity Water Feed unit matching in Amazon... any chance you meant Ebay?

You're right. I believe it was eBay. I went back, found the water gravity feed unit and searched the person offering it, but this time I could not find the louvers that I had seen the other night. They were just like the ones on my Puck, with an inside movable lever to open or close them. But it was really late at night and I was just surfing everything, so I don't know where I really found that one. Wish I could help more. If I can come across it again, I will get the website for it. Good luck. _________________ 1968 Eriba Puck |

Anyone has the measurements for the seats inside the Eriba puck?
Need to build them from scratch.

I'll get those for you tomorrow. (Unless someone beats me to it.) I would do it tonight but the Irma Storm rains have hit Knoxville and it's a little damp outside. My Puck closet door faces the camper door and the bench seat on the driver's side butts up against the closet. Is that the way yours is laid out? (I know that some have a space between that end of the bench and the closet.) _________________ 1968 Eriba Puck |

You may get this post twice. I answered it once and then hit a wrong key somehow and everything was erased. I'm doing this on my phone as my computer recently got zapped by a lightning strike and I haven't replaced it yet. But, here are the measurements from my Puck.
Seat, driver's side: 60" x 21" x 5" thick
Seat, curb side: 55 1/2" x 21" x 5" thick
Bolsters (seat backs): same length as seats x 8" vertical x 5" front-to-back
Rear cushion seat: 56 1/2" at front of cushion but begins curving immediately to fit the contour of the rear Puck corners. Cushion front-to-back: 10 3/4"
Cushion drop-down arm rest (by curb-side door: 21" x 7" this armrest has about 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch padding.
Hope this helps. Happy camping. _________________ 1968 Eriba Puck |

Recently had a graphic designer friend of mine make me a vinyl sticker reproduction of a German caravan dealer badge. I think it turned out great and adds a nice touch to the back of the puck. He also whipped up a few assorted Eriba stickers as well!
Pic of original dealer badge I found online:
