UPDATE - Gone and pulled the trigger on an old lady named HELGA the Hymer B544!
www.motorhomefun.co.uk
The age and mileage were initially an issue for us but the layout and size was exactly what we are wanted. Cosmetically she is okay for a 23 year old but the spec, OMG! can live like at home off grid all year ! I got a feeling there and then enough to get up at 3am to meet the owner at dawn the next day to meet the owner before any one else could view it. Fair play to the owner to agree to this on a bank holiday weekend. Within seconds I had come to the conclusion that the owner Dawsey (late of this parish's threads) is a top bloke of high intellect who has ingeniously created a rare solution to upgrade his 2002 B544 into a full timer MOHO. That ideal diode was very clever. He should really write a book, but can't sit still enough I expect. He patiently took me through the operation of all systems explaining why and how they function. His reasoning for the choice of shower head was hilarious! We wish him and his lady well in their new venture in Cumbria and can't wait to return to their planned glamping/aire/spa business in the near future.
I'm under no illusions that she will have bits break at her age and I'm confident that with Dawsey on the end of the phone and this communities guidance, we can keep HELGA going for a decent while yet. I hope to learn quickly. Collecting this week. Exciting times!
