Well, we dillied and dallied around for a long time as we thought about which camper to go for. We went to the big motorhome exhibition at the NEC in 2015, we visited numerous dealers and crawled over countless motorhomes, we did heaps of analysis on what we liked, what we disliked, what we could compromise on and then finally made up our minds to go for a Hymer B544 after seeing one at Premier in Sussex.
We liked the ample living accommodation, the spacious kitchen and washroom and the large double bed all within a length of 6.5 metres from nose to tail. We compromised on not being able to store bikes within the van, instead they will be secured on the tail mounted bike rack but be protected by the alarm system.
We have yet to drive it on the road as we are waiting for final DVLA approval and registration as we had it imported for us by Bundesvan.co.uk, and we are both really excited.
Here is a selection of my photos of the van, click on any of the photos for a bigger version:
