Just a quick update.
We had our Turbo inter-cooler fitted on 4/5/6 Aug at TB Turbos.
What a fantastic place, full of polite knowledgeable people.
Workmanship is awesome and very neat.
They put our Hymie on the Dyno and got 64 BHP at rear wheels.
2 days later the Dyno showed 95 bhp
Nearly a 50% increase in power !!!
We carried on up to Skye, well you gotta give them a good test haven't you towing my BMW on the trailer the engine sounded smoother and pulled like a train:D
We stopped at Tebay services and upon pulling back on to M6 we were in 5th pulling 55 on the slip road !!! We crested the Shap summit @ 60 mph, could have gone faster but over 55mph mpg drops down
The Hymie pulls from 55 kph[30 mph] in top gear with no hesitation except on noticeable hills, a GREAT improvement..
Through Dumbarton and on up to Loch Lomond the drive was effortless using around 20% of the gear-changes pre Turbo..
From Loch Lomond to Fort William and over to Kyle Lochalsh we caused no hold ups and flew up the hills.
Downside is I'm cruising at 60 - 65 and mpg is down to 20 mpg.
Had a great time on Skye being Midge bait
On the way back to Devon I religiously held 90 kph [55/56 mph] staying with the trucks, RESULT Fuel back up to 24 mpg
Even up Gordano hill we lost no speed whatsoever.
According to the GPS actual driving time diff between up to Skye and back down to Devon was 30 minutes longer and 1 less fuel stop [curse the 60 liter tank ]
Around £25 less fuel on return journey.
Are we Happy.
you bet yer ass we are !!!!
There's a dealer selling Hymers [got a yard full of near new & older models] on the A41 between the M54 & Whitchurch [about 12 mile from Whitchurch] [not 'Lazydays' dealership] - it might be worth you going for a look to see the various models & layouts.
- as for LHD . . we have no problem wit it here in UK and its a bonus when we go over the channel

If you are still looking for the layouts available on the Hymer range - the Deepcar Motorhomes website (Google it!) have a history of Hymer and the various layouts. A very useful site.

We love our LHD, bar version, fixed bed, B694 and travel miles - the van has now done 236,000kms! There will be one machine out there to suit you, too.
