Second hand prices for Hymers are still reasonable.   What we have found is that even older models can hold their price better as they are still is good condition when 10+ years old.  The prices for brand new vans are higher than for UK models but then again, you get what you pay for.   If you are wanting to buy something to keep for a good number of years, it's definitely worth the investment.

Buying our German van, which was about 6 years old when we bought it, is not a decision we have ever regretted.   From the build quality of the bodywork to the internal fixtures, it is streets ahead of anything else we looked at.  As has been said, the "more modern" design features are not everyone's cup of tea but after all this is a holiday home on wheels, not a new frock.   I want it to look crisp, modern and functional and this is what it delivers, in spades. 

Incidentally, on both private and club sites (C&CC, we are not in the CC) we have been asked to pitch the van both ways, to suit us and the site requirements, and also to avoid directly facing the neighbours awnings.   Either way suits us and no one has ever refused to have our van on site because of the door on the other side.  After all, UK sites have visitors from the continent and have to accommodate them so why should this be any different?
