One thing Phil.
I would double check that 3850kg is the maximum as ours is plated at 4500kg and similar size.
Obviously it depends on chassis!
I know SV Tech are usually correct, but what about checking with Hymer in Germany!
You may need the payload as ours is just under 3500kg empty. I know they have lightened the vans since ours.
Just a thought!

It is the light chassis, you need the maxi chassis for 4250kgs. The funny thing is that the Maxi 150bhp (4250kgs) upgrade is a cheaper option than the 150bhp (3850kgs) upgrade. The van still has over 700kgs load available.
 
Oh wow! That's one gorgeous van. Huge congratulations Phil and no more stressing eh... now the decision's made, just enjoy the ride icon_cheers.png
 
welcome to hymer corner phil now stonedaddy can't ignore us , agree with comments decision made just relax and enjoy it, as you know had mine just over a year same vintage as yours & wouldn't change a thing only had couple of niggles shower waste came apart under floor fixed on warranty & we tend to overload the sliding cupboards under the sink pots pans and 20ltrs of drinking water so have smashed the catches only plastic have fitted half moon cabinet bolts to them now no problems, pity we probably won't see it until we're back in the spring for hereford and you will be well used to it by then
 
Glad you took my advice , it's ok don't thank me.:sleep-027::sleep-027::sleep-027:
 
Congratulations, it looks a nice van, I hope you have some great adventures in it - you certainly deserve it refereeing this site.

Phil, not trying to teach grandmother to suck eggs, but did you check the payload your self, bearing in mind that recent payload is worked out on just 20 litres water (which is not enough for wilding) and less gas and less fuel than older figures were.
Then extras need to be deducted.
I would either get your new van weighed, or contact Hymer in Germany for clarification!
As I said, our 3 Litre B654S/L Star Edition is 3480kg empty, but with a gross of 4500kg
This includes lots of fitted extras

It will be going straight on a weighbridge once I have filled all the tanks and fitted the gas system.
 
Ticking the boxes

Hi Phil, (only met you once at Bugswater) congrats on new van...looks great and if it ticks all them boxes 📦 then good for you. Will be interesting what you do and don't transfer from your other van. Hymers seem to be the choice van for the dedicated....which seems appropriate for you as admin 👨*💼 Look forward to hearing how you "pimp it up" with all the gizmos/electronics etc..... Maja

Tom's probably not ignoring you Ken, he just rushes past in case he misses last orders. :cheers:
