How many w members own a Hymer?

Does it make sense to keep the van on the scottish mainland, or on Orkney mainland, to reduce the cost of a trip away, or have the newer ferry fares made life easier?

Unfortunately Orkney has not enjoyed any new ferry fares. Everywhere else yes, but Orkney no. Go figure!

As for keeping the van on Scottish Mainland, it is quite costly and doesn't really work out. We used to have a caravan stored on a pitch in Inverness but at the end of the year we totted up and realised we hadn't saved anything.
 
Hymer travel van

Well we made the decision and downsized to a hymer 527 travel van ,now looking forward to getting it in a weeks time
Got mods we want to do ,first is to remove a wardrobe to open up the interior ,then stamp our mark on the vans interior for our satisfaction
WHAT MODS IF ANY HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR VAN

Good decision Mr Laird sticking with a Hymer.Did you sell your Older Hymer or did you part exchange?Are you buying a brand new van or one some years old.If bought new what was your buying experience like.Is the one your buying a 527 or a 572?

10 years old on a Hymer is nothing.The 572 has that got a fixed rear bed or two rear singles?Ford Transit front or Fiat? Just asking as we are looking to upgrade and I feel sticking to the Hymer brand has gotta be a very wise move.And 40k miles surely that is low for a ten years old motorhome?I really hope the guy collects your older Hymer cant see why he wouldnt as you have cared for her in your ownership doing many upgrades etc gotta be a no brainer and a great buy for someone.I imagine one gets a better price selling private than part exing but gotta be careful who you deal with.

anyway wish you all the best and I bet you and Mrs Laird is it Fiona? are sooo excited and cant wait to take possession of your new Motorhome

Thank you very much for your kind words etc,we looked at many many vans and to be honest we have been spoilt by hymer build and qaulity,every van we saw we said but hymer is better here or there,so we kept coming back to hymer ,seen some nice other brands and some dogs but every one to there own,
Single /infill double bed , large garage and six metres was my instructions ,to be honest it’s the first I’ve really looked at the travel vans and was really impressed ,transit 2*2 tdci plenty oomph.but still would not have a bad thing said against my old girl ,great servant ,happy times in her

Make sure it’s had the timing chain recall and oil pump done. Both issues with your model of transit.

We are now (6 months) happy owners of a B678DL having had a very unfortunate year with a Burstner, Build quality is of a different order, worth every penny.

Had issues with works 2.2 transits and all works done under warranty so thought I would mention it. Hope you enjoy your new van. 👍😎
