Hi,
We pick up our 2005 Hymer B544L on Saturday, besides the normal checks, is there anythink specific you can think that we should check?

Hi Steve

Well, you shouldn't have much in the way of problems on a Hymer of that vintage, just have a look at the UK conversion bits. I know you're all clued up on the speedo front now (worth trying for a bit of discount there I think Cool ).
Also check that they've adjusted the headlight beams to RHD, it can be an awkward job turning them round. Check the rear fogs too, you should have one on the RHS, although one on each side is fine. I would pull the dipstick out whilst the salesman is looking and make a comment on the dirty oil - might be worth a free service voucher or similar. Wink

Looking forward to seeing your new aquisition at Brinton, let's hope you don't have to get any mud on it eh? Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

Check the engine warranty start dates tally with the date you register it not the date the chasis was made.

Ours was 6 months difference but nearly sorted that out after 6 months.

Hi Steve
We hope that everything goes well on Saturday mate.
Just a thought, why not stop in at the Bubble Car Meet, it is close to Newark, just along the A17. You will be able to shake it down and have some experienced guys strip it (sorry I meant look over it Laughing Laughing ), then if there are any problems you can just pop it back to Brownhills on Sunday Wink Wink
I will PM my number, so please give us a call later

Check that the habitation service book is stamped. Hymer give a 6(?) year integrity warranty but demand that that your book is fully stamped.
