1. Attaching clotheslines
The Eriba has a beading channel all around, so a chord can be inserted anywhere. For example, sunshades.
It can also be handy to attach a clothesline. A small piece of tent chord with a few hooks will do.
2. Securing the door
To secure the door at a right angle, many people make a small stick approximately 45 cm long with right-angled ends. This is inserted into holes drilled in the door catches. It prevents rain coming in. We do this too, but we make it in two separate parts using M3 threaded rods. You can then unscrew it and store it in a door shelf.

3. Beading channel
Stoppers are handy for tensioning clotheslines and awnings. This prevents everything from shifting, even if a line runs diagonally towards the alu channel.
We also create an extra "entrance" in the beading channel, so that the awning does not have to be pulled all the way over the rounded corner. We screw a long M4 screw into one of those stoppers, place a spacer over it, and bend the rail open gently. Thanks to the extra entrance, attaching the awning is now quick and easy.

4. Seal gap at the exterior of the toilet
There was already criticism regarding this in earlier German reviews, but Eriba has not improved it. We seal the gap with self-adhesive foam. Why? Because the gap is an invitation for moisture and dirt.
5. Window stays. Two window stays with a click system were broken when the new caravan was delivered. Of course, we only discovered this when we were on our first trip. Replacing two of them will set you back sixty euros. So get the version with a rotary knob for fixing right away, as they are less likely to break than those clumsy click things. Pay attention to the correct length. To slide off the Polyfix attachment, you have to unlock the slider by pushing a small metal pin through the hole.
