This caravan review is available on our website: crazytroll.no/eriba-touring-t...
We purchased this caravan and actively traveled on it throughout the season until late autumn. We were looking for a compact, stylish, modern, and light caravan that would be suitable for traveling along narrow mountain roads and stopping overnight in wild places in Norway, outside of campsites, and was as autonomous as possible. Here are our impressions as is!
About us:
We are traveling across Norway with caravan Hymer Eriba Troll 530 Rockabilly. On our RUclips channel, we post videos from our road trips and drone videos from the most beautiful places in Norway.
You can write your comments under this video and we will try to answer as soon as possible.

The country looks beautiful too 🙂
Our pleasure! 😊 Glad about you, hope you will enjoy time spent traveling with caravan. 😊👍
And thank you for watching video from Norway!!! 🙂☀️🇳🇴
We bought a 530 GT Troll this year. Easy to tow, good for narrow roads, total freedom. Not as common in the UK. Lot's of people have commented with the word "beautiful".
The top pick in our opinion even after two summers. As you mentioned a lot of practical advantages and of course a pleasure to own an attractive caravan.
Thanks for this awesome video ! Happy travels !!!
Thank you too!
Thanks for a very complete presentation of your beautiful caravan
Our pleasure! Glad you found it complete, not much we can add after another year of owning!
Oh my God I love everything about this video!

We hope so too!🥰🥰🥰 Thank You very much, for your comment🤗😍
Mate, I have never thought about a caravan, just stumbled on your video because the thumbnail appeared randomly and cough my eye, and now here I am, looking for caravans to rent and thinking how to convince my girl that our next vacation is going to be with a caravan. About the review, looks honest, appears to have all the data that a newbie would need and the best thing is it comes from real life experiences with it, not just a glance. Really great job, chapeau.
Hi, Mate! Glad you enjoyed it! This is our first caravan, so we had a lot of questions ourselves and we tried to mention all our concerns we had with good info and visualize with a proper picture on the screen.
Hope it helped and you will enjoy your first trip with the caravan soon!
Much appreciate for watching!
Excellent video
Thank you very much!😊😊😊
What a fantastic video! I really enjoyed it, and it was so well produced. Thank you! I would *LOVE* to visit Norway some time. Best wishes :)
Thank you very much for your pleasant comment. This was our first long video and review and we are glad that you liked it and of course we highly recommend planning your trip to Norway and if you will have any question - will be glad to help! 👍🇳🇴 Best wishes! 😁
Great video really like this brand simple design but beautiful executed and quality
We totally agree!
Top quality review and i’m a sucker for red, stunning caravan.
Very pleased to hear it!🤗 Thank you!😊😊😊
Very cool caravan !!
Thank you, we enjoy it very much! Very happy with our choice of the caravan!
Great review. Thx.
Thanks for watching!
This is my dream caravan… ❤
Wish Your Dream Comes True!😍❤️✨
Great video, well done 🎉
Thank you! 😀🥰😇
Wow, this Caravan is beautifull..
Wish i could afford it, but i'm gonna buy a cheap Caravan, rebuild it a bit.. And wanna live in it!
Looking around a lot of information, Love your channel!
Glad you like our caravan!
Rebuilding might be a big challenge but hope you will succeed!!!
The person who is reading this comment , i wish you great success , health, love and happiness💕💕💕
Thank You💕
Beautiful rig.
Thank you, Mary!
Very nice video!
Thank you! Cheers!
Piękny zestaw dobrze że są napisy Polskie bo nie znam się na angielskim . Genialne wykonany filmik !
Dziękuję za pozytywny komentarz! Miło słyszeć, że polskie napisy pomogły!
wow, this is actually a very fantastic video. Great work and super impressions about the caravan. We are looking for a Eriba, maybe 430 in combination with BMW 1.
Glad it was helpful and impressive! This caravan looks great in combination with small powerful cars like BMW 1 and Mini.
Hi, i have Seen thus Video how. You make it very welll. We have an Ocean Drive and travel around in Mode warmer destinations. Maby we see us in the future. I wish you allways a good Journey. Best regards from Germany. Roland
Hi Roland! Thank you for visiting us! Good, you can enjoy warmer destinations. The weather in Norway is great now as well, but soon we hope to travel southwards. Both Eriba Ocean Drive and Rockabilly caravan are well noticeable on the roads, so will see each other from long range! 😂👍 ...or on one of Eriba Treffen events. 👌
Je l'adore ♥️
Merci Beaucoup♥️♥️♥️
Not bad. I have a Solifer Finlandia 620, and while it is obviously larger, I'm really impressed with the facilities of this little caravan. The bathroom is just as big (small) as the Finlandia. It's so small that you have to vacate it to change your opinion. How anyone is supposed to take a shower is beyond me.
Small caravans have their benefits and disadvantages, but since we do not plan to travel for long periods it has all we actually need and we are still very happy with Eriba Troll 530.
We call this shower - emergency shower and so far we were able to stop on camping sites once we were on a longer trip. ☺️
Excellent video ! It's the best video to know the capabilities of this beautiful caravan the Eriba Touring Troll 530. I hope to have this caravan in the future. The only thing your caravan is missing is the waste water tank, to make your caravan truly independent, it's my opinion, I don't like the external drain bucket, sorry for it
Glad you enjoyed it!
For sure it is not convenient to use bucket to carry additional cassette. Tiny caravan have their own disadvantages, but we got use to it. :)
Your English is perfect to understand :)))
Thx from Russia! :)
Спасибо, приятно слышать, что язык понятный, но если что у нас есть и обзор и на русском👍👍👍 Вообще все гайды и обзоры стараемся делать на двух языках 😉🙃

@@CrazyTroll Хаха ))) а я ещё думаю, откуда это у норвежцев такой топорррный русский акцент, ну не русские же они, в Норвегии-то. :)))
А вот ведь :)
Ну вот начал за здравие "Your English is perfect to understand"🙃🙃🙃 а закончил за упокой... "такой топорррный русский акцент" эх...😥😥😥
@@CrazyTroll :)))
потому и было понятно, что я сам так же говорю. Когда мямлят англичане - пьяного легче понять :)))
well done, superb review and very professionally done👍 The rear spot-lamps are dimmable if you keep your finger on the button..
We are getting ready for a new trip and were happy to find out that lamps are also dimmable!!! It was quite a big surprise after two years of owning Eriba.
Thanks for the tips! 👍 👍 👍
@@CrazyTroll hahaha, it took me two years as well.. 😆
Thank you for the video and information about interior heights. We've just ordered a troll 540 and your video was very informative.
Happy camping
Congratulations, hope you will enjoy time spent with caravan!
Glad video was helpful and hope it just made you more confident in you choice!
Happy camping!
Great summary! I have a question about the Eriba case. Where did you order it?
We ordered at local distributor of Eriba.
Хорошие)) но хочу добавить, что всё-таки, по личному опыту, караван хорош именно для выезда в какую-то конкретную локацию и зависания там на пару недель. Мы проехали со своим караваном почти всю Европу и на себе прочувствовали этот нюанс) Если режим путешествия то кемпер удобнее.
Спасибо за мнение!👍 На самом деле согласимся, кемпер еще и более маневренный, что точно важно на горных дорогах и серпантинах!👍 Но в Норвегии Кемпер это как еще один автомобиль и за него надо платить годовой налог и проходить EU контроль, а вот караван, это скорее как прицеп. В нашем случае это удобнее, хотя не раз уже задумывались о Кемпере🙃😉
Thank you..great info. Did you buy the solar panel or was it an optional extra? Have you found an interior solution to the showering?
We asked to install at once at the workshop of a local Eriba dealer.
So far we never used a shower inside. Probably will be forced to find a solution once we will take a tour southwards.
Love your Eriba and excellent videos. Thank you very much for sharing your experience with such a great quality video and narrative.
May I ask what's the engine/horse power of your Q3 and if you feel it's either overpowered or underpowered for pulling the Eriba around Norway' mountains?
I'm undecided between TSI or TDI also
Cheers and Thanks again 🤗
Thank you, Charlie!
We have 2.0 TDI, 150 HP and for such Eriba is probably a perfect match. This car was supposed for my Olga, since I often drive a service car and we bought it before we even started thinking about the caravan, so lucky we order it with hitch and Quattro. The last is mostly because we lived in a remote location with a lot of snow during the winter.
After the last two years, this car is enough for mountain drives (derived up to 20% incline), but wouldn't risk taking less or without Quattro. TFSI or TDI is a personal preference, doubt it will make a huge impact on the road trips.
Cheers, and thank you for watching! 🤗
@@CrazyTroll thanks for your kind and quick reply. Merry Christmas and best wishes!
You are very welcome! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!
Fabulous review how do you find cooking right next to the bed any issues ? Also did you consider the 530 with a rear dinette before deciding on th rockabilly thanks Alan from UK p lol
Hi Alan! Thank you for watching our review!
To be honest, the appearance of the Rockabilly model hooked us and we actually didn`t compare it to any other layouts, but we find it very practical. There is quick access from the dinette to the door, and in general, the cooking place itself is not the most used in our caravan and had no issues having a bed next to it.
Being inside we spend more time on couches and we find it most practicable layout for us - comfortable siting, great view from windows, that are both give more than 180 deg. view due to the shape of the caravan body.
Hello CrazyTroll team,
Thank you for the great and informative videos!
I live with my family in Germany, Lower Saxony and also bought a RockabillyTroll to travel.
I have a battery (original Eriba Autopack) on board. In the video I saw your solar panel on the lifting roof and I would like to ask if you can give me more information about it? Is there a panel glued, dude, how is it connected to the electroblock, do you have the original battery..... Photos....??? I would be very happy about any information. Warm greetings from Germany.
Hello Maik! Thank you for watching out videos!
Quite impressed with the amount of snow you got in Lower Saxony on your caravan.
About the solar panel, I had this question before and wrote a separate article. There are some photos as well, so should cover most of the questions, but if something is missing - let me know, and I’ll try to help.

Çok güzel bir video olmuş, teşekkür ederiz öncelikle. Bir sorum olacak. Bizde de bu karavandan var. (Türkiye deki tek Rockabilly) su seviyesi ve akü şarj göstergesi orjinalmi, yoksa sonradan mı takıldı? Bizdekinde bu göstergeler yok. Suyun bir göstergesi olması çok iyi olurdu mesela. Bir de pop-up tavan açıkken içten takılan yalıtımı nereden aldınız acaba? Teşekkür ederiz,
Norveç'te de pek çok Eriba Touring karavanı değil. Bayinize bağlı gibi görünüyor. Kararlarına göre isteğe bağlı ekstralar ile karavan sipariş ederler veya müşteriler konfigürasyonlarını bekleyeceklerdir. Karavanımızın tente ve bisiklet rafı yok, ancak seviye göstergelerimiz var. Elbette bayinin atölyesinde kurabilir ve yalıtım alabilirsiniz - bunların tümü Eriba-Hymer'ın orijinal parçalarıdır. 😊 👍 🇳🇴
(It is not so many Eriba Touring caravans in Norway as well. It appears that it depends on your dealer. They order caravan with optional extras on their decision, or customers will wait for their configuration. Our caravan has no awning and bike rack, but we got level indicators. Sure you can get installed at the dealer's workshop and get insulation - all these are original parts from Eriba-Hymer.)
@@CrazyTroll Teşekkür ederiz:)
Great video! Really great! I’m considering buying one of these and you’ve produced the best material that can be found on RUclips?
Glad it was helpful! We tried our best!
Just write if you have any questions left unanswered.
Thank you for watching and pleasant feedback! 😄👍
@@CrazyTroll Well, maybe one question: does the folding roof cause any condensation problems during colder days? I'm 186cm, so it would be open most of the time when I'm inside.
@@bartoszpajak2285 Yes, you will keep it open most of the time.
When it is cold outside, there is some condensation on aluminium bar inside, but we easily remove with paper towel. It never drips or leaks, so I won't say it is a problem for us.
I wish it had a Tab 400 caravan bathroom
It might be better to some extent, but I hardly believe any bathroom in that size caravans can be a game-challenger. It will always remain compact, tiny and insufficient.
Can I ask where you have run the cables for the solar panel?
The cable runs through the pop-top roof right above the wardrobe where all electrical stuff is installed. It has a slack of about 20 cm so we can open the roof. No problems with sealant. If you need pictures inside and outside, just write us an email, this questions was already discussed, since workshops in UK prefer to leave the cable outside. 😂😎
Love your video and am now the proud owner of an Eriba Rockabilly called Peggy Sue. I have sourced some cool cushions for her but I'd love to know what you think of them. How do I send you a photo to you?
Oh wow! Congratulations, and really really happy about you!!!
Very curious to see your cushions... you can send photos to email that you can find in the About section on RUclips or Instagram if it is more convenient for you.... Hope to hear from you soon!

What's your email address?
Kan se i har solceller på hævetaget, hvordan er ledningen trukket ind i vognen? Mvh Michael
Hei Michael! Vi har flere bilder lagt ut i artikkelen her - crazytroll.no/how-to-install-solar-panel-on-roof-of-pop-top-caravan/
Tak for svar 😊
hi, onbord waste water tank ?
Hi
There is no fixed grey water tank, so we use small cassette tank similar to black water tank that is fixed, of course and already mounted in the caravan.
did you take a shower in this caravan?
We still avoid using shower inside as mentioned in the review. Hose is long enough and we used it couple of time outside... or in camping, of course.
What about carrying bikes?
There might be a rack in front. We dont have it, but some Eriba caravans are delivered from manufacturer. Worth asking local dealer or looking for ones fitted with bike rack on aftermarket.
Hi is possible to rent Eriba Troll.
We have seen someone renting out Eriba Troll caravans in Norway. It was around 4000 Nok (abt 400$) for week. You should check Finn.no as a main (and actually the only one) private announcement service.
@@CrazyTroll I try book 1 15 March to 25 March 10day. Any website you can recommend me sir.
Hello Crazytrolls:-)
I'm waiting for my rockabilly (aprox Spring 2022) I'm very interested in your solar panel. Can you sned me Pictures, Model and cabeling??
Thanx and greetings from lucerne, Switzerland

Hello Richard!
Great and really happy about you and your choice! Not a single day we regret about our decision to buy Rockabilly caravan.
Regarding the solar panel... well... quite popular question, so I wrote short article with photos about it. crazytroll.no/how-to-install-solar-panel-on-roof-of-pop-top-caravan/
Let me know if something is unclear and I'll try to explain more detailed.
Warmest regard from Norway!

Popup roof is a deal killer
Small and tiny caravans have to sacrifice something and seem to us a pop-top roof is still a good solution, but not for very tall people, of course.
Something not well thougt-out with the pop-top roof...
На самом деле вполне удобно в эксплуатации. Два сезона пользуемся и нам нравится, много воздуха, света и пространства появляется, если поднять крышу😉
@@CrazyTroll ты русский или пишешь через переводчик?
Я хотел сказать, что они не до конца продумали, что поднимать. Например, поднимать можно было не часть крыши, а всю крышу! И поднимать не на пару сантиметров, а на полезную большую высоту!
подняли - как украли...
Да, всегда и во всем есть моменты, которые можно додумать и переделать, тут согласна... Но мне, как человеку ростом 163 см вполне комфортно и с закрытой крышей, а уж с открытой так вообще🙃 И часть крыши которая не поднимается, это как раз над кроватью и над столиком в зоне гостиной, то есть в этих зонах либо сидишь, либо лежишь...😂 На самом деле хорошо, что караваны в мире существуют разные, под разные потребности, рост людей и тд 😉 Мы Оля и Дима, живем в Норвегии, но оба говорим по русски😉 Так что никаких переводчиков 😂
@@CrazyTroll а как вы туда пробрались на ПМЖ? :) Я тоже хочу...
К сожалению какого-то секрета, как пробраться не существует😂😂😂 Все скучно и банально... Учить норвежский язык и искать работу по специальности😉 Работаем, живем и путешествуем по стране на караване, о чем собственно и наш канал....🙃
Мне русскому их язык даже режет))
На канале выходят обзоры и гайды на русском языке. Если режет, то смотрите на русском - ruclips.net/video/9FRgeN0BD8o/видео.html
Tusen takk for en veldig bra review. Fruen og jeg har nå bestilt en 530 "60yrs edition", får den levert til 1.april 2022. Har plusset på det meste av tilgjengelig tilbehør. Ser at vognen Deres har montert solcellepanel på taket. Fikk dere det levert påmontert når Dere kjøpte vognen? Hva kostet det sånn ca? Bør vi etterbestille det? MVH Dag-Håkon, Trondheim (e-post: daghaakon@yahoo.com)
Hei! Gratulerer med bestillingen din og veldig glad for deg! Sikker på at du vil ha mange flotte og minneverdige øyeblikk på reise med campingvognen din!
Vi ba om å installere et solcellepanel med en gang, og prisen var ca 10 t. kr. og var inkludert i kjøpsavtalen. Jeg tror megleren din kan ordne montering når Eriba er levert til Norge. Solcellepanelet er et "must" hvis du planlegger å stoppe unna campingplasser.
Mvh, Dmitry
@@CrazyTroll Tusen takk for svar :-). Da blir det solcelle. Vi har bestilt på Kroken avd Åndalsnes, skal høre med dem. Hvor kjøpte dere vogna? Ser at dere ikke bruker «ekstra speil». Går det bra uten?
