Hi all

Looking to buy my first motorhome and have seen some pics of a 2004 544 classic which looks exactly what I'm looking for. However i seem to remember reading somewhere that the Classic is a lower spec / quality vehicle. Before arranging to view and travelling some 200 miles to view I would welcome any feedback.

Many thanks

Mart

Hi
It depends what you mean by lower spec. What dealer is it so I/we can see. the 544 has a 3750kg and a 3500kg is that what you mean?
The best advise I could give to you is pay the Ģ10 subscription and get asking as many questions as you can. The more info you have the better.
To help we need
Price
Dealer
Layout
your needs
your price range
And
And..........

Steve

Hi Mart,
I am unable to show you links to searches as you are not subscribed, I see you intend to join.
When you have joined do a search for Deepcar in Forums and Dealers. I have had no dealings with them myself.
Looking at the van you have shown I would say it is a 3500kg, I also believe you are unable to upgrade to a 3850. This information was given to me from a B544 owner. They have smaller wheels and a different chassis. The inside is slightly different in some areas. More classy if you know what I mean.
31,800 miles for a 2004 model is high for a motorhome. You can look at it in 2 way's. The van has been broken in and all faults should have been found. Was it a Hire Vehicle? With low mileage the van is left standing for long periods. If you ignore the habitation side, what was the van made for, low or high mileage?
They are a very nice van i think that model is winterised the same as mine.
For all information give Deepcar a ring and ask them.
Get back to me/us if we can be of anymore help.

Steve

for B Classic

Now what the difference is I forget. It was actually written out in the brochure we had for our 2001 model, but when we sold that, we passed on the brochure as well....

I always forgot which was which...and I see now they are calling them CL and SL - SL being superior....why they don't just give them different names is beyond me, as it causes confusion when buying second hand...

Sorry not a lot of help

Carol

If I find the info I will post it for you

I dunno what 'lower spec' actually means . . at the risk of P**ing off those who have other makes - my opinion is that Hymer is more towards to 'higher' end not lower . .
At under 32,000 its hardly run in !
we luv ours

Hymer B544 classic is the lower end of the B544 range compared to say a B544L or SL.
