rolandrat Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Apart from van conversions the only two motorhomes that I never had a problem with, either build quality or base chassis were "A" class Hymers built on Mercs. Never once did I have to return to the supplying dealers with any problem. If anyone is contemplating buying a bomb proof design then a Hymer is the one to go for.

Know what you mean, built in 1993, No leaks, can't rot and the tin worm is still dormant, better still it is better featured than many new vans, and will run in the winter with nil battery drain. on the other hand you could say that about Hymers built in 1985!

Your test report should read " Solid, well equipped, furnished in traditional taste". They can then cut and paste 5 column inch on the Fiat Ducato 2.3, 130cv from last weeks edition and a few photos out of the Caravan Club press pack.

Last four vans UK built and guess what, not a single leak, great px prices. The only problem I have had was a fridge not working on gas after two years, blocked jet.

Brian Kirby Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 It seems the OP may be a bit of a "hit and run" as he seems not to have returned.

Guest peter Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Ah well that's another thread sabotaged by extreme nastiness from the usual suspects , sadly. I hope he gets it sorted, as it's a bloody disgrace to expect people to pay a lot of money for a product that seems to have been designed by a complete idiot with no basic knowledge of good engineering practice at all. Unbelievable and supremely arrogant to expect no-one to notice it eventually. Well spotted Brian. I wouldn't fix it myself as it's clearly unfit for purpose, if I did I'd send the supplying dealer a bill for my labours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
