Ken:

It does. The shape (not slab sided), and the rake of the front window.

There’s only so many ways to make a big box aerodynamic, and I think that’s why Airstream, Avion and Barth all looked about the same (common construction techniques, too), and the Eriba with the belt line does look like a GMC.

Lots of very interesting touches. I really like the center cutout of the "double" bed to give easier access. I can't find the recent copy of Family RVing that had the review of a deluxe Airstream with a horrendous price tag. I'm sure the price of the Eriba could make it a hot seller here in the USA!

I once owned a 1967 Chevy van. It's an earlier versions of this same body style. It would make a cool looking towd for a GMC.
