Wow what a job, we keep ours in storage but lucky enough it's in an Enclosed car park (no trees) but still gets dirty obviously, however we are definitely getting a cover this year (full or half) most of the muck comes off the roof and runs down! We usually wash it fully (roof as well) every couple of months to keep on top of it (2 aqua rolls and a cordless pressure washer brilliant) Your van looks fab now, is it ceramic coated?
@BellasBigAdventures7 күн бұрын
It’s not ceramic coated no but I wish we had done that when we bought it. We were advised not to use a jet wash on it though because the paintwork is not up to high pressure. So be careful.
@chrissey6637 күн бұрын
@BellasBigAdventures thanks for your reply Sue, I can say the pressure isn't very harsh at all nothing like a proper one! We had ours coated about a year ago unfortunately doesn't stop it getting dirty (i wish ) but it is easier to clean dirt off, look forward to your next adventure take care both x

$200k? This life style is for the poor, not the rich It looks cool. Just who is this for?
@BellasBigAdventures7 күн бұрын
I’m afraid given the cost of most motorhomes and campervan these days it’s far from a lifestyle for the poor! I’d also like to think this was the top end of the market but there are many more in excess of this price bracket. Thanks for watching.
@milantiquestudios74607 күн бұрын
@@BellasBigAdventures You remember when parents would be like “if you don’t get your act together, you are gona be living in a van down by the river”? Meaning those without money, ambition etc would living in their car and camping. This lifestyle turned from being down on your luck to taking advantage of a cheap lifestyle to this popularity, money squeezing thing. The convience tax is massive. The smaller and more easy to use, the more money it costs. The only conclusion I have come to for the super expensive RVs like this one is, it’s probably easier to sell 1 $250,000 than 5 $50,000. You just gotta show it to the right rich buyer. I’m more annoyed about the system as a whole than anyone in particular

Hello 😊 we have just bought a Hymer 880 too, a 2021 model. Your videos are very good and very helpful ❤ We have been on the journey with camping car for 14 years now and we love it. We are from Norway 🇳🇴 and also have a dog with us, Tiko is his name. He is quite small in size, a Yorkshire terrier. He loves being on camping. I just would ask you if you could film an evening inside the camping car and outside while it is dark, so I can see the lightning? We still have to wait 2 more weeks before we get our Hymer, that is 3 weeks too long 😅😂 will be following you 😊🤩😍 Best regards Siv ( or Snoopy, as they call me)
@BellasBigAdventures14 күн бұрын
Congratulations Snoopy I’m sure you’ll love the hymer. Those 2 weeks wait will seem very long I’m sure 😂 Thank you for watching and I’ll do my best to get some evening shots. The lighting inside is excellent as you can dim the lights and turn different areas on as needed, not just overhead bright ones. It’s one of the many great features in the 880. Enjoy it when it comes.

No storage or garage for any kind of decent sized equipment like bikes or surfboards. Chances are if you are going off grid then you will be doing stuff like that so for many this won’t appeal.

Yes it is indeed limited on large storage but there is a bike rack or storage box option that can be fitted to the rear rails and a smaller one on the roof.

BBQ? Outside table and chairs? Sorry whilst this looks a fantastic vehicle it’s missing the point. We have the MLT 570 crossover. Much cheaper, much better all round even if it doesn’t look as swish!
@BellasBigAdventures17 күн бұрын
I’m not disagreeing just pointing out some things I may have missed. The table fits to the bottom of the back door. I’m a big fan of the 570 and 580. They’re very practical and in the case of the new 580 it has many of the venture s finishes at a more affordable price. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi. I have the same Motorhome as you, but in the B class version. I noticed the damage to your habitation door and panel on your latest video. Can I ask how it happened and your plans for repair? Just in case I experience the same problem.
@BellasBigAdventuresАй бұрын
We hit a bollard which was painted grey the same colour as the tarmac at the entrance to an aire in France! It was virtually invisible. 😩 Haven’t quite worked out how to fix it yet. It’s just a scuff thankfully not a dent so that should polish out but the door catch might be more of an issue as it ripped the screws out and I suspect another might not fit back in the same holes. Maybe some Sikaflex?! I’ll let you know when we get around to fixing it! Thanks for watching and enjoy your Hymer. If you’re not already a member it’s worth joining the Hymer owners group on Facebook they’re a friendly bunch full of practical tips.

Hi your videos are so informative and useful! We are planning on buying the same vehicle and I was wondering if you were thinking of making a video on what it’s like to drive and manoeuvre? Also how quiet is the interior on the move? Most reviewers don’t own them so they treat it like a house viewing. Would love to see more on what they are like on the road. You do it quite a lot and even more detail would be great. Many thanks
@BellasBigAdventures7 күн бұрын
Next time we’re out and about I will video some maneuvering for you. I can confirm though it’s a very smooth drive and really comfortable. The rattles are minimal especially if you line your cupboards or equipment. I did an anti rattle video or two sometime ago. If you search on our page you should find them. Thanks for watching and good look with your purchase.
