Bigusdickus said:
We have recently bought an Exsis-t 588 and are very pleased with the build quality. Not as frugal as our previous Renault base, but it has a bigger motor, so I'm considering an enging re-map - any advice on this please?

You hear about folk finding clutch slip after remapping others never experience anything but glowing reports I'm sure replies will come along ,might be worth starting a new post asking for tips,outcome since done etc.
 
What would you replace the hymer with?

What would you change to if you were replacing your hymer?
 
just bought a Rapido 987M as I have to downsize to 3500kg.
will really miss my 1999 S700 after 7 great years.
she'll be up for sale at the end of the month if anyone's interested.
call me on 07876553185.
 
Another Scottie Here

We do. Same as yours! 1995, B544 2.5TD. He's called Hunky Hymer. Taking him to St. Andrews at the weekend and looking for a spot where I won't be bothered with boy racers or police moving us on.

I was not a Hymer owner when this thread started.
But I am now...

Like Phil (Admin) we were not Hymer owners at the start of the thread but now have a 2018 Mli 570. We live just outside Banchory on the infamous Cairn o’Mount road (but the low level bit).

We've joined the Hymer family now, an older one, 1991 Hymer S660. Having just sorted out insurance we're only picking it up this weekend and will have the fun of trying to drive home from Cork up the country to the northwest, the last section of the journey on a single track boreen with steep hills and sharp corners :scared:

It's all ahead of us... except for the overhang :lol-053:

Just to update we had a Mercedes Starline 640 1997 bought in October 2015 which let us down badly on the way to Isle of Skye two days into a two weeks holiday.The dealer did eventually fix the vehicle after two months in their custody but after taking it back we had lost confidence in her and sold her early 2017 and went back to a campervan being a lwb Hiace.But after a few months we so missed the Hymer and its quirks so we sold the Toyota campervan which turned out to be freezing inside in the winter(no insulation etc),when wildcamping no heater mmm.Then after a search we bought in April this year another Hymer being a Mercedes S560 ON A 1993 Plate which cost us the same as what we sold the 1997 Starline for but this Hymer I feel is better made in better condition than the Starline and it has air suspension three solar panels three leisure batteries built I feel like a brick out house .The merc is slow due to non turbo going up hills which after six months use I feel can be a problem.My wife who sits in the suicide seat says dont worry about the vehicles behind lol but I have my foot flat to the floor on hills willing the beast up the hills and can see the frustration of the vehicles behind but it is as it is.So far though we love the new Hymer and get many looks because of its condition at 25 years old.

Boy is this an older posting,, I was at the start saying I was looking at my MLI 580. I bought it and is coming on three now. and 22000 miles up on the clock.
 
Hymer owners.....?

Well I'm three months in to the ownership of my new (to me) LHD 2005 B674.

It's got no over cab bed so lots of cupboards and fixed twin beds in the rear, which suits me as I'm solo. I'm not sure if they can be made into a single big bed; no evidence of anything to fix in between them.

Bought it from a Dutch guy who'd owned it from new. 50k miles on the clock and loving it so far.
