Gibber is certainly mentioned in Swallowdale, chapter 2.

There is a passage about Gibber and Bridget being on the ship's papers although not full members of the crew. Then it continues "Roger himself, when asked if he would really like to share his tent with the monkey at night, had agreed that perhaps it would be as well if the monkey had his summer holidays at the same time as the rest of the Walkers had theirs. So the monkey had been packed off to spend a happy month, staying with relations, at the Zoo."

I cannot remember if there are references in any of the books, other than PD and ML. I suspect it was difficult to work him into the other stories and he was quietly forgotten.
