Lucky you - your Hymer looks lovely! I'd love a Hymer too but too heavy for our car, which we've only had a year and won't be changing it - we love it! We love our current van, Addy, but next week going to look at Geist in North East! October half term will be the first time our eldest won't be coming with us and we're beginning to think about a fixed bed van 'ac' (after children)! We did want a Hymer first choice, have looked at the Adria Adora and Adiva and want to see the Geist range. Have never had an urge to buy British (unfortunately).

I bet you can't wait to go away!

No, that's not my towcar...the Freelander pulls it just fine, even in that awful windy weather on Saturday.  The pictures were taken by the previous owner.  Just have to be a bit more careful now when loading everything and not take too much stuff.  We put the heavier things in the car anyway e.g. awnings, aqua rolls etc. and find this helps.

Yes Lassie, can't wait to go away at half term.  The Hymer is such luxury for us.... heavier I know but not too excessive.

We looked at the Geist vans and were impressed but just couldn't find a good used one in the layout we wanted. The Adrias look nice too.  Friend of mine had an old Adria and even after 12 years, it was dry as a bone.  The dealer went over it with a fine toothcomb when she traded it in and found no damp at all. 

It looks very very nice patches, very impressed, I am sure you will have many lovely out in it

I am very jealous, Lovely van

Ta much.  We are more than pleased.  Seller threw eveything in as well, including awnings, trolley jack, and a tele.  

Hours of endless fun sorting through the stuff, putting our things in etc.  (OH is being very strict with me on this score...keeping the weight down) but I am determined to keep it clutter free and just to pack the essentials.

We would have bought a Geist if we had found one and you weren't selling yours Gaz!

T  Do you know if my 2004 Hymer is built on the aluminium framework?  When did Hymer start doing this?
