Too long
Interior looks good but outside needs TLC. Best Hymers ever made.

Morning all thanks for the help . The s740 in Battle is on the merc 416 chassis. I am looking for the 616 merc chassis for more payload, thanks Stuart

First motorhome May 2021
I have an S820 which is very similar. Mechanically it's been reliable, but it's 20 years old and plastic bits inside are getting brittle and are expensive if they are available, for example I just had to replace the kitchen light diffuser, £114 and I had to go to Brownhills to get it as they wouldn't ship it due to it being fragile and them not having suitable packing to ensure it wouldn't get damaged in transit. Other then that it's a lovely motorhome if a bit slow up hills. The 416 auto may have the sprintshift gearbox which isn't as good as the full auto on the 616 chassis in my opinion.
