PhilKathryn Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 How do I replace a kitchen tap on my Hymer 544c 2004 with an oven located under the sink? Any suggestions where to buy tap etc. apart from Hymer direct. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Welcome to the Out&AboutLive forums, Kathryn. There’s a good chance your Hymer’s tap is from the “Reich” range and you may be able to spot it from the photos here http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=reich+taps&hl=en-GB&gbv=2&oq=&gs_l= If you can’t reach the underside of the tap because the oven prevents access, logically you’ll need to remove the oven to replace the tap. Suggest you discuss this with Hambilton Engineering as they specialise in older Hymers and may know of some crafty technique to avoid oven removal. http://www.friendlyhippo.co.uk/hymerdirect/aboutus.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartO Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Peter Hambildon is only working Tuesdays to Thursday nowadays and if you telephone for advice you might struggle to talk to him because Rosie, the Receptionist/Administrator lady, seems to guard him quite protectively. But removing an oven and replacing a tap is probably well within the scope of most motorhome dealers' workshops. Mine is a 2006 Hymer B674 and the tap may be the same type. And I can access the underneath of the tap because we have a drawer below the sink so I'll try to photograph it to give you and idea of the layout..

Keithl Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Do you need to remove the entire tap or is it a model where you can just change the cartridge and if so can this be done from above and will it fix your problem? Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallii Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 When I did mine I removed the sink. I think your sink is square mine is round (522 Van). However the tap looks the same, mine is held by a nut underneath, removing the sink gave me access. The sink is probably siliconed in so a sharp knife to cut all round is useful. By the way, the switch and/or the wire to the switch do fail, these can be replaced separately. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartO Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 On my tap I think you can change the cartridge without removing the tap. Unscrew the lever, then you can dismantle the tap. And this photo shows the underneath: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
