1991 Hymer 544 carpeted dashboard Forums

Our "new" 544 has had some pretty grotty carpet fitted to the dashboard.

I am considering replacing this with something close to the original. The problem is ............. I don't know what the original looked like!

If anyone has any photo's I would appreciate it if you could send me a copy or info on retailers.

To recap it is a 1991 544 on a Fiat chassis.

The original Hymer carpet was the same as the floor - a sort of textured, nylon based type - typical of the era. I don't expect it is possible to buy an identical piece of carpet nowadays.

Ours has been replaced with a good quality wool twist in a plain light colour - cut to size and "whipped" by a local company. Any carpet shop should be able to arrange this too. Very smart it looks too - just a hoover occasionally to keep it dust free!

Suggest you contact Hymer in Germany.

I had a problem with my Hymer 644 1992 and they came back in a couple of days with the details.

When you do replace the carpet, I suggest you install some sound proofing. It cost next to nothing and makes alot of difference.

We also replaced the wood type material the seprarted the engine from the cab at the same time, as after 16 years it was looking old.

You may like to try one of the Hymer owners clubs I can provide contact details on all of the above if you wish.

Try looking on the websites of dealers for internal photos e.g.
