The beautiful story of Teresa and Colin from Southern Germany, and the amazing little Eriba Caravan that they grew very attached to.
After looking for a cheap caravan to take to music festivals, this young couple found an old unloved Eriba hundreds of miles away in Hamburg, but they brought it home and patched it up. Teresa had the idea to go away for an extended tour, so she quit her job, Colin took a sabbatical, and they made a phenomenal 23,000km tour of Northern Europe over the course of six months. Once they got home, they felt indebted to the reliable little caravan that had been their little sanctuary all along, and hadn't let them down once. They wanted to renovate the caravan properly, but when they stripped it down they were in for a shock, and neither Teresa nor Colin had any mechanical skills. The only option, they felt, would be to cut it up and put it in a skip... but their love of this cute little caravan won the day.

This video is therefore self-financed.
