Pilote v Hymer A class which would you chose?

[Siimplyloco]

Hi John yes Ian and Sue who I bought it from put a little mirror on top of the big RHS wing mirror that helps and curtains are well tied back

Can I ask have you got any instructions on how to use all the things inside like... the panel above the door..12volt switch ...and what is that big shoe horn thing inside the wardrobe?? is it a shoe horn??

o dear here I go again sorry :help:

Yes it really does shift, but it slowed down a bit once Jan had put all her 'bits' on board!

It is a shoe horn but it's main reason is to close the roof light above the hob, the thin end has a hook on it so that short people can reach the handle of the roof light (it is very high when pushed to the top) and pull it back down

Well, what do you know! We've had our new Hymer for nearly a year now and I never spotted the hook thing on the end. I thought it was a bit useless to have a shoe horn when I spend most of my time in the motorhome in sandals or flip-flops! My wife is 5 feet 4 inches and always gets me to close the roof lights - now she can do it herself :cheers:

PS In answer to the original question, I have never owned a Pilote but when we were looking at vans at last years' Peterborough Show I quickly dismissed most other makes in favour of Hymer because the build quality was so much superior in the price range.

I have changed my roof lights to wind up/down type, a Fiamma Turbo Vent above the cooker and fitted a Fiamma above the bed, I looked at the price of the original one fitted by Hymer and spent less on the Turbo Vent, I still carry the shoe horn though

Well I am really impressed that they bothered to include a shoe horn and with such a long handle they are really useful if you can't bend down
