Eriba as garden haven

By Beckyboo Date 10-05-2025 11:09

Hi there! I'm chronically sleep-deprived, so a bit unusual maybe, but I'm looking to buy an old late 80's/early 90's Puck to go in the garden for use when I just can't sleep in my house.
Just me and my dog. We live rurally with no street lights in the village and it's very peaceful.
I've read up on buying advice here, so thanks for that, but I was wondering about tips for siting it in a permanent position (on paving slabs?) on the grass.
Any help gratefully received.

Hi and welcome Beckboo!

If it were me I would:

1) Position on slabs to keep grass & weeds etc. growing up underneath. This will also help with air-ration underneath the caravan and help protect against damp etc.

2) Consider removing the wheels and using storage stands. Alternatively you can get tyre savers - https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSA-TYRE-WHEEL-SAVERS-HANDLES/dp/B07KMGY255

3) Electric supply. I think you will appreciate a mains feed. Some form of heat may be required in winter. You may want a cuppa (of something), some lighting, phone charging etc.

4) Prepare for bad weather. Might be fine and dry when you go out but horribly wet / cold when you go back indoors. If nothing else a simple large umbrella :)
