How many w members own a Hymer?

Has anyone switched to an electric compressor fridge run off their leisure batteries?

So, as this is the Home of the Hymer. Do any of you folk have problems with slow re-fueling and what solutions have you found?

Someone asked about this a few weeks back ,check the breather pipe ,check on top of fuel tank ,some have a pipe with a vent on the end that chokes up over the years with dirt etc and (under seal) worth a check.
On the fiat ducatto under the mat I between the driver and passenger seat there's a inspection plate you can remove for tank top access.
Hope this helps
 
We have a Hymer B574 called Rosie. We're based in West Yorkshire.

Re fuelled for the first time last week and diesel poured out all over me. Thought the guage was knackered, but then tried dribbling it in and it worked. Not ideal though.

No mine does the same but I think 'The Laird' might be giving good advice there, I am looking forward to visiting the farm (I keep it there) and checking it out, following his great advice.

Don't know yet, try again next week, going to try an ML-I 280 and then???????????????? the deposit goes down and they get it ready but say three weeks for a PDI??? then hand over the rest, I reckon a week is pushing it, as they already have the registrations allocated for new vehicles, set of plates made, four screws and off I go into the distance. However I might even get my cherished number on it as it is not dated and might stop jealous people scratching down the side with something, which might happen if you look like a rich(ex) person.

Getting close the bungalow has been exchanged today and the completion on the Friday next week. So I might be getting it soon.

I'm glad you like your new upholstery. Jan's been busy and has made some nice fitted covers to protect the seats from further wear and tear. Nine metres at £3.57/m on ebay. We used fitted sheets last year! We are also doing without the big table this year, finding my home made fold down table perfectly adequate, and I've now been able to put the Lafumas behind the seats instead of in the shower!
Hugo is 55 reg and doesn't look half bad. We will probably sell it next year when I'm 70...
