I agree. Our boiler is mounted in rear corner. If it was switched with the Sargent unit it would be amidships and give more even heat distribution. I can only suppose that, with our layout, that would have created much longer pipe runs to the kitchen sink and this was considered the lesser of two evils. Still love the motorhome though.How well Truma Combi's work is down to the installation. Installed properly they work very well no complaints on ours.
Our van is 7.5m the boiler is mounted centrally under the lounge seat, 4 vents in the lounge front and aft of captain seats, heating outlets along the dash between roller blind & screen, outlets in shower & toilet. Also heating outlets along the sides of the bed and one in the garage. Works really well.

Doesn't happen in our LHD.
This surprises me Lenny, I find our Exsis excellent. The ground clearance is why I wouldn’t go near a Bailey.Poor ground clearance, lightweight cabinet construction.
I must confess it took a while for the penny to drop.like why has the passenger got a door and the driver hasn'tHymer's were never meant to be RHD

Poor ground clearance is one of my annoyances on our PVC - the under-slung electric step is way too low and close to the ground.Poor ground clearance, lightweight cabinet construction.
Ours is the same. To make matters worse, the coach style sun blind feels like it's about 2 metres away. So you end up doing the forwards-backwards nodding dance while blinded by the rays for at least half a mile.Seat belt tensioners!
Once we’re belted up we can hardly move!!
Can they be adjusted?
Just to clarify- You switch it on/off by twisting (indicated by light on dash) then set it to current speed by moving up or down. Each subsequent Up or Down tap increases or decreases the speed by 1mphAnd for some reason to switch it on and off with the button on the end. But also switch it on by twisting it.
Wouldn't it be a good idea if there was some sort of indicator to tell you that it's actually active? Or something to tell you what speed it is set to? I've driven several cars that can manage to show you the target speed on the dials with a colour change to say when it's active. Or even using text in the display would be better than the very ambiguous green is-it-or-isn't-it lamp.Just to clarify- You switch it on/off by twisting (indicated by light on dash) then set it to current speed by moving up or down.

If it is On, and you brake or change gear, it switches OFF, but by pressing the button on the end, it resumes the previous set speed.
Next one go bigger Lenny? Nice 12tForgot to mention lack of storage space in the double floor.
Our current 3.5 tonne van has the biggest shower area of all our previous vans, most of which were bigger/heavier.Piddling little shower area but that's the compromise you have to make when going down to 3.5 tonne
Ah hang on a cotton picking minute, on our first Hymer a S520, the Seat used to strike the centrally mounted hand brake surround. It was of course avoidable, but not after a few vino tinto’s.Hymer's were never meant to be RHD

We have a Ford so don't have any of those problems. Lights & wipers are auto, cruise control is on the steering wheel, fogs are a fingertip away. Nice heated windscreen too. All standard spec.On a more serious note, the Ducato's controls are not good. Windscreen wipers, you click down to make them go faster which is odd, except when you adjust the intermittent wipe, where it's you twist up to go faster. The cruise control stalk should not be the same size and shape as the indicators above it. And for some reason to switch it on and off with the button on the end. But also switch it on by twisting it. And then the fog light buttons are hidden behind the steering wheel. It's a usability nightmare.
One of the reasons we px'd our ElddisRattles, rattles, rattles, rattles, rattles, rattles.
Ps - I own an Elddis
