Eriba Puck Price: $7900
I'm selling my 1989 Eriba Puck travel trailer since I also own a 1988 Eriba Triton and the wife doesn't really think we need two trailers.
The Puck is a very late model (1989) and is the newest one I'm aware of in the country. I'm basically the second owner – it was bought new in Germany and used to tour Europe before being brought back to the states by the first owner.He traded it in at a boat dealer in Pensacola, Florida early last year and I was able to outbid about six other people for it. It's 12' long and weighs about 800 lbs.
It tows like a dream and is so light that it's easier to drag the trailer over to the tow vehicle than to back the car up to the hutch. It takes a 50mm tow ball; 1-7/8 is too small and the 2” is too big.
One thing I really like about the Puck is that it's the same width as an old Land Rover (or VW bus) so standard rear view mirrors work fine. You can actually look through the front and rear windows of the trailer using the interior mirror too.
I've done a little work to the trailer in the past year – nothing major – just fixing a few things that needed attention. I looked for one of these for six years before finding one so I have a pretty good idea how hard they are to find. This one is in exceptional original condition.
It has what is basically a queen size bed and a small kitchen at the front of the trailer. The pop-up top gives me a couple of inches clearance over six feet. The previous owner removed the furnace and replaced it with a built in A/C unit. A small electric heater will easily keep the trailer warm if 110 power is available. There is no bathroom.
And then of course two weeks after I bought the Puck, the 16' Triton that I'd been chasing for years came back on the market…since I bought both of the trailers within three weeks of each other and hadn't sold my U-Haul fiberglass travel trailer yet the wife was a bit worried.
I've got several other projects waiting in the wings and I've just retired so I am reluctantly putting the Puck up for sale. Its really a great trailer and I've used it to attend the Overland Expo East in Asheville, NC and several Land Rover camping events in the southeast. It has also gathered big crowds at several car shows it has participated in.
I will include a Bus Depot 10 x 10 add a room with the trailer ( a $395 value). It is a free standing tent room with roll up sides and a floor that can be attached to the trailer.
