Hi

Has anyone got one of these - we have seen a B644 today which we really liked the layout of - the one with the end lounge so that you have 2 sitting areas. Can anyone tell me what the layout is for the B594, and also what does anyone think if they own either?

Many thanks

Thanks for the reply - we have seen a b644 1998 model with lots of extras, but just feeling nervous about all that money I guess!! We really like the end lounge rather than the fixed bed but they do seem quite rare. Deepcar have a 1997 one but it is LHD with 59000 miles on it - was yours LHD? Do you have any strong feelings about LHD motorhomes?

Have you had any luck in getting the Hymer?

I have a 1996 B594 with a rather rare Hymer drop down bunk over the rear (corner) dinette making it a full 6 berth in a motorhome only 6 metres long. It will fit in most carparks where the back can over hang the verge or suchlike making it very pratical for going into towns. I would have prefered a B644 with the rear u-shaped seating but couldn't find a good one,The B594 came along and was in such good condition with low miles that we bought it on the spot and haven't looked back! The downside is the lack of storage space, though we do carry all the clobber for skiing (x 6!). There is plenty of cupboard space but not much room for the bulkier items. A top box has solved the space side of the problem, the weight problem has been solved with a GVW uprate to 3700kg from 3200kg, so we now have an extra 500kg payload- excellent for the homeward stockup on duty free!

I have only seen 1 other "3 wiper" B594 but several older brown and white ones, and I've never seen another Hymer of any type with the drop down bed.

I suppose to sum up, if I was offered a swap for a B644 with the right layout I would be very temped, but it would have to be a really nice one.

Hi,  The 644 appears not to be made anymore with a rear lounge,  I asked about one at the Excel Show on the Hymer stand and was told they only make the 644 with a fixed bed and garage now,  if you are interested in a LHD try the www.mobile.de web site it is a German site but you can select english at the bottom of the page then just enter the details you are looking for.  If you do think about importing as they are a lot cheaper in Germany,  i would suggest you look into the insurance problems of bringing back to the UK,  the German Transit Plates can be purchased with insurance but this is only basic third party no fire and theft,  so be careful on the return journey ? once you arrive on UK soil most insurance companies will cover you on the VIN number until you register it,   if you want any more info on importing i will let you know all that i found out,  albeit i lost my nerve over the insurance ?? 30k and only basic insurance ??? my nerves couldn't stand it
