Do you have an Eriba caravan? What weight is it and how does it tow on the back of the jimny?

Hi, yes it is an Eriba Puck, it is very easy to tow due to its small size and its rounded front,they are also narrow so you can see down both sides with out towing mirrors. Acceleration and fuel consumption are very good with the Jimny. They are very well made using a tubular steel construction, and it is not unusual to see a 50 year old model still been used.
Below are its dimensions:
Shipping Length Eriba Puck : 425cm/14'0"
Body Length Eriba Puck : 320cm/10'6"
External width Eriba Puck : 165cm/5'5"
External Height (roof lowered) Eriba Puck : 198cm/6'6"
Maximum headroom (roof raised) Eriba Puck : 183cm/6'0"
Max laden weight Eriba Puck : 575KG (some vans vary slightly depending on its age)
Unladen weight Eriba Puck : 500KG
