Is there anyone out there, that has bought a Hymer caravan direcly from Germany? As before I take that daring step, I would appreciate talking to someone who has.
There was a thread on here a few weeks ago and it did highlight some of the problems, principally connected with specification differences. (wiring/plug scockets being one that I remember)
Good luck...but lack of UK support would put me off.

There used to be a firm (German Caravans?) who handled the whole process for you, including delivery. However, a quick Google has failed to come with a current web address.
If you haven't already done so, you might find it useful to read http://www.practicalcaravan.com/features/buyingabroad.html
As germancaravans are local to me I naturally tried them. They say that as the had a dispute with Hymer, they no longer import Hymer Caravans. Which is why I eventually found this web site.
However, via other chat rooms, I have been directed to www.campirama.be maybe they can help?
Lowdhams are the main dealer in uk, unfortunately they don't import the layout I prefer, twin fixed beds with bathroom behind, alla Hymer (Eriba) Nova 580. Also Hymers are cheaper in Europe. However, it takes a certain amount of courage to buy direct from Europe, as you are on your own over there!!!
