Classic motorhome

[DOC]

This is my seventh and probably last motorhome, a 1991 Mercedes Hymer 555. My son persuaded me to change my modern Autocruise for a classic and join the Hymer Owners Club. I haven’t looked back since. They are an awesomely friendly bunch of people and very helpful. I hope to be in Morocco for my 80th birthday in 2021.

Welcome to the club, we have a 1994 Hymer 694 tag axle and wouldn't change it for anything.

Done a lot of restoration work including rebuilding the dashboard and making a new drivers door.
Converted all the lighting to LED, fitted a fully automatic satellite system and solar panels on the roof.
Always something to do with a classic motorhome to keep it road worthy and looking nice.

Getting parts for any wagon or car over 10 years old is a nightmare esp over here.

bumped into a German lass a few years ago on a stelleplatz, her VW LT had just blown it's engine (it was a real shitbox )...she was in tears.
"what will I do ?" she wailed . she just loved the Hymer S520 I was driving at the time.
"I'd love a Hymer" she said. I asked how much she could afford.
"well my grandmother left me some gold bars for emergencies"..........
I had visions of chunky big bars stampted with a swastika !!!!!!
next day she showed up with a bunch of small cute gold bars , probably 5 ozs each & we met up with a rather dodgy looking geezer
on a street corner who cashed them in for her....weird !!!!
I checked out mobile de. & found her a 555S about 30 km away...... been totally rebuilt by a Mercedes mechanic in his workshop.
it was a beaut. think she got it for €9500........
the 555S really is a great classic Hymer......she's still driving it trouble free 10 years later.
hope you enjoy yours as much as she has hers.

I read on a forum that the best thing that you can do for your kids is get them interested in classic Citroens.
That way they’ll never have any money for booze or drugs

Based on the Citroen c15 765 kg chassis cab , I supplied a couple to romahome before the factory supplied direct the main supplier was free borne motors down south Southampton from memory . The c15 itself was a derivative from the Citroen visa ..petrol 1124 cc but mainly the 1769 cc cud series

I think booze and drugs would be the safest option
