I am splashing out on a new van and this model seems to tick all the boxes.

I would welcome and appreciate any advice or comments before I buy.

Thanks, Val

Good choice of both(Hymer and merc)

But all vans can be ruined if they have not been cared for.

Careful checks required.

Hi
There is a download on here i think for things to check, if you go to the dropdown resources section.

Obviously main things are exterior bodywork, damp,tyres(age/condition), any repaired accident damage, engine condition(miles FSH etc), whats the payload? condition of interior(which includes loads of things, shower+ tray, taps, fixtures and fittings, windows(open and close them), blinds+flyscreens , water system.

There are probably loads i have forgotten.

Take your time and have a good long look around, preferably take someone with you who knows motorhomes, check everythings works.

Have a long test drive in it.

Paul.

Looking at the history they were first introduced in 1972 on the merc L 508D.(not SL though)

Must admit i thought they stopped doing that model in the 1990's

Nice motorhome, of a handy size regrettably not found much these days in A-class form.
If you want to look at the details in the Hymer catalogue for the 2002 model year, it can be got from the following link - in German only, but you can translate the key facts using Google. It may be helpful as on page 34/35 it gives technical data for the Starline range.
http://www.hymer.ag/cms/DE/Service/Kataloge/Archiv.html#form

On the web page, you need to select the category, and required catalogue from the drop-down menu as shown in the attached picture. Then click the blue lozenge containing the words "Suchergebnisse anzeigen lassen" and the catalogue will download as a pdf.
