Who says hymers are not built to last.

lovely old van. There is an old hymer that enters the Vintage rallies. You should do the same, it will be a free weekend camping for you as an exhibitor.

BTW, if anyone is interested, I have a Rutland 504 wind turbine for sale, complete with regulator.

Hi John.... each are 155ah but 6v, they have been connected in series and parralel to give 2x 12v 310ah, these are solely for the 240v electrics and the cd radio in the rear, I also have a 110ah up front for the rest of the 12v electrics at the back.. Ive now just finished fitting the blue LED's in the rear at ground level.. These pics show the first three pics are 12v and the rest are a mixture of 240v with 12v, all on seperate switches, the 240 lights are also LED, the middle upper one in pic 5/6/7 showing warm light was the most expensive @ £49 but a not very common bulb and came from Germany, the two corner ones were off ebay and are cool white.. I know Im showing the lighting at great depth but it may give someone ideas and they can see what it would look like rather the imagine what it would look like, the blue leds were off ebay from a vee dub specialist in devon.. Also this hymer has been updated in the toilet/showeroom, long gone is the porta potty and fold up sink, it now has the bathroom from the later 550 with 12v flushing toilet and led lights of course. So all in all... old she is on the outside but very modern on the inside.. Value, well one cant put a value on something unique and very rare.

I keep updating her, she has LED's all over, I'm currently fitting 12v Blue dot led's at floor level and may also fit the same at ceiling level, now at 37 going on 40 shes definately not going anywhere for a while, and with the 40yr historic rolling tax scheme that definately gives me the incentive to keep her. :banana: One life live it....

I thought the thieves, sorry government, had stopped the rolling tax thing, has it changed ?

Yes its changed but have kept it quiet... its no longer pre 72 its a rollin, but having said that they can at the budget change it again, but I hope not..
