As many of you will know I have been looking to change motorhome for a while now, and I have just placed the order and paid the deposit.

I haven't slept properly for a week and I am still not feeling comfortable getting into debt for a motorhome, but I do spend a third of my life in the motorhome and I want my family to be happy and comfortable when we use the motorhome together.

I will be collecting the van on 26th September just in time for the Elm Cottage meet. Now I need to get my van stripped and ready for sale. I may even try it on eBay for a week before I take it to trade in. I have rejigged the deal so I can now sell my van for £25,500 and still be £500 better off. This does, unfortunately, mean I cannot attend the Greywell meet so I am going to have to get someone to take over for me, however, it is pretty easy as it is only the food order that needs sorting.

So the new van...

It is a 2013 Hymer B598 UK Line 5 Star. It is the first van I have found that fits my needs. The original owner had the van built to a high spec, it has nearly all options fitted but thankfully not leather seats. It is a 150BHP 2.3 6 speed auto Ducatto that has covered a little over 10,000 miles. It is plated at 3850kgs which is the top weight it can be (I checked with SV Tech). Highbridge Caravans are getting the towbar fitted for me and doing some snags I have spotted.

Now I just need to work hard to pay off the finance!

Great choice, now can you ban members who say derogatory comments about Hymer owners:wacko:
 
Nice. And, funnily enough, almost exactly the same as what I paid for my first house 17 years ago...

Pleased for you mate :)
 
Great choice Phil . As for the finance thing I think most of us have been there and got through it, and never looked back....
 
Looks really nice. It's always scary committing to so much money, but as has already been said, most of us have been there and come through the other side.

Hope you really enjoy your new van .......... and can then get some decent sleep :drive: :sleep-040:
 
Fabulous but if we are comparing to houses my first house cost just £1,600 it was a 1 bedroomed back to back repossession I think your MH is bigger lol though that shower looks a bit tight chick but you can always shower in Haamsters huge shower 😂🤣😂🤣
 
Can we just get it straight from the start ... is that grey or blue? :goodluck:
 
Dont worry about money or costs as we are all a long time dead,but do enjoy it and health to wear.:wave:

4 years old and only done 10k ?
Obviously a great deal for you but original owners would surely have been cheaper renting ?
 
Lovely looking van.
I'm sure you and the family find it more comfortable and have some great tomes in the future.
