That’s amazing to hear, I would love to get one to renovate

My grandparents (mothers side) had a 644 Mercedes Hymer with a dually in the rear (dont remember model precisely). We used to go fishing in Sweden alot in my younger years with it. Then later when my grandparents wanted to buy a new one, my parents offered to buy it and got it. My parents drove it for about 4 summers, one time I got to follow them on a roadtrip around Åland (largest island between Sweden & Finland). That was the last time I saw it driving on the roads. Now it's our little summerhome at my grandparents (fathers side) villa/cottage. 2 major problems we had with it on the road where: - Hydraulic pump for the clutch gave way and was very difficult to fix, it's now fixed. - Handbrakes dont work no matter how much time we've put into it. Which is why it is now in "hybernation".

I love these old retro campers, there’s something about them thats just so comforting and relaxing than the modern day ones, hope you’re ok will mate 🙏🍻

A smart person owns this camper they labeled the switches. It's a nice camper for its age that I wouldn't mind owning. I am just not a fan of the bed over the cab I am 6'2" and will be hitting my head on it. it will be annoying to have to duck every time I want to drive. But it is a neat feature. Remember every one be kind to your Neighbors treat others how you want to be treated and not show up at 4:30 in the morning being loud. poor will needs his beauty sleep. And thank God this vehicle had a indoor shower especially with others around.

I’ve recently found your channel & it has become my favorite. I love your sense of humor & I can’t wait for the next video.

LHD in the UK really isn’t an issue. I drive a RHD Land Rover camper around Europe and it really isn’t a issue, the odd junction can be difficult but you just position the vehicle so you can see or use your passenger as a spotter.

I’ve never heard someone say “actually” so much within 17 minutes.

It’s certainly a place I’m not going back to 😂

A great look round from a modern perspective. A good learning experience for you too, from a driving point of view. It probably didn’t start first time because you didn’t cycle the glow plugs - you need to switch the key to ‘run’ and then wait for the yellow glow plug light to go out, and only then try to start. It’s an old diesel thing. And I found it funny that you noticed it wouldn’t go into 1st while rolling - this is also an old vehicle thing, I’ve never had a car or van that would do it, and it’s due to a weaker/less effective synchromesh on 1st

Loved this Will, keep up the good work. Really enjoy watching you review these quirky vans. Hope you've caught up on your beauty sleep 😅

I love this set up. Other than the bathroom that needs a better set up for the shower. And noisy neighbours. But, with the number of people now living off grid it will be awhile yet before the noise dies down. Some people are off grid for economic reasons. However a large number are off grid because it is currently trendy. It was the same in the 50’s&60’s. Men coming back from overseas starting families. It was a more economically way to have a vacation.

We live in Norway and had the slightly newer version of this, a 2003 model and the setup was still the same just updated and we loved it! I've now changed to boats now but if we go back it will be another Hymer

Love these Hymers, there's so much usable space and brilliant that you don't have to make the bed up if you are just 2 up. I currently have a deposit on a 2005 version which is a bit more modern, but before all of the emissions nonsense started on the engines. Hopefully it will be serviceable for a good few years!
