One of my favourite motorhomes! Hymer B Class Modern Comfort.

[@petec1387]

Hi Alan, thank you so much for sharing your views on MLT 560 and this hymer. (Happy Tesla here). Yes, we will rent + rent + buy used motorhome. Because we are not from EU (from Australia), we are limited to 3.5ton of vehicle. After carefully calculate everything we need to bring to a motorhome (after we buy one of our own), we realised 400+ kg of payload is a-must for us. And if we occasionally bring our parents to travel around Europe, it means we need at least 520+ kg of payload. For 3.5ton that is almost impossible! And that is just 20 litre of fresh water! Anyway, MBC and MLT are great options. We did the configuration, there are a very long list of options! Thank you for showing the driving assistance feature, now we understand the cross-wind assistance's value and collision-avoidance feature, etc. Payload wise, we keep changing our mind.... Hyper is a good option if we only go with 2 sleepers (but 4 seats). If we want 4 sleepers for the "rare" occasion we are interested in Dethleffs' Trend I 6757 .... we are curious if they are as good?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Dethleffs is also a Hymer brand but it is a cheaper Hymer brand so therefore it has not go so many expensive items inside! Many of the parts are the same but the overall design and durability in a Hymer is superior in my opinion. I think rather than drag around an extra bed on the offchance that someone might use it, better to use campbeds or similar which are light, easy to carry, there is space for them in the aisle and you don't bang your head on them every time you stand up!

I love Alan's honesty! people take his advice.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Thanks Apple!

Your views are what interests me the most. I compare your views with my son’s class c US motor home and my mini van. As always. John. USA

Thats a nice one! -I like the freshwater tanksize. Dont know how motorhome-designers think when there is a freshwatertank under 100liters and 4-to 6 beds or seats? Not everybody will be able too take a shower?! I found the shower to be a little small in this one. When i try out motorhomes i do the: -"Drop the soapTest". -Get in the shower, close the doors, and then simulate: try to reach a dropped soap. (without opening the doors)..

ALAN THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CLASS B!❤

I didn't skip adds on your channals because i love your work love from Pakistan

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Thank you!

[@pauloinavan1336]

I agree with your comments on buying a vehicle,Alan,I bought my current van with 1000kms on the speedometer and 6 months old,the previous owner having lost at least 12000 euros on the purchase price,a lot of money to decide you don't like motorhome life

[@sebastiangeorge7714]

Wow the next-door trader seems to ask list prices for used vehicles

[@pauloinavan1336]

Sebastian George this was in 2017,I believe since the pandemic of covid the prices of many motor home has gone up due to demand,I've been told that my van would now make the same price as I paid for it

[@sebastiangeorge7714]

@@pauloinavan1336 i keep waiting until Cruise ships can sail again, maybe there are nicer deals then.

[@philipellis7039]

Very nice but transverse bed 😕 I wasn’t quite sure why there is one of those rugby tackle training pads in the wardrobe.

[@markbaker53]

Hi Alan, we are flying over to attend the RV show in Düsseldorf it would be great to get together and discuss the Hymer and possibly Malibu. We will be in Düsseldorf for the entire show and in Germany for the month

[@kellycarson6717]

[@AvantionTour]

We bought a 550 T coming late this year. Hopefully you are doing well. Düsseldorf 2021? Dirk

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I shall be there Dirk! As always. I shall also be passing in Hagen - although after Caravan Salon!

[@johnbarclay88]

Good stuff.

[@markbaker53]

Hi Alan, this was the Motorhome I had spoken to you about earlier. You had mentioned you might know of a company who could be selling slightly used with German layout. I’m very interested in we will be in Düsseldorf this September and would enjoy meeting you and share our stories as full timers as well. Cheers Mark & Peggy Baker

[@terryhere3889]

Love it ❤

[@kozay9067]

very nice

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Very nice indeed

[@stevemills376]

Thanks Alan, hope you're doing ok?. Can you please tell me how this series differs from the ML-T series? thanks again.

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I agree that it looks very similar but the style is different, the B Class is more of a 'comfort' model whilst the MLT I think, is more of a hard case. The chassis is also different. I have an MLT coming tonight by the way!

[@michaelshankin6320]

Beautiful. Are Hymer motor homes available in United Ststes?

[@VanlifewithAlan]

In theory yes Michael, I don't know what the answer is in practice!

[@rogerr2796]

For anyone who might be curious: Since Alan brought it up at 9:15, here’s Scotty talking about why keyless start buttons are a bad idea. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpPLeZauqMioarM

[@markbaker53]

10:51 US. Hi Alan we are full timers in our 2004 Class A Motorhome and want to buy a smaller semi integrated Motorhome for Europe. Like you I am impressed with this Hymer and definitely want to purchase used. My question is how do you find this vehicle l? Website etc? We will be coming over May 2024

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Mark, I will probably be able to get you fitted up with an ex rental model at the beginning of next summer, so it will be almost new, properly serviced and at a considerable discount. Alternatively, it may be possible to get a new model then, if I know in advance. This is the Hymer website : www.hymer.com/gb/en/models/hymer-b-class-moderncomfort-t

[@Greysonsgrandma]

I’m Canadian plan on coming over once I sell my house I’ve been trying to get an idea of how much a rental would be fir approx 6 months I’m looking for a van 2 beds and a/c I’m not picking about bathroom kitchen set up

[@Greysonsgrandma]

I wsnt to outright buy and insure myself but I can’t seem to without a European address

[@VanlifewithAlan]

@@Greysonsgrandma Shirley, you are in a position to negotiate a price, so you might want to try several rental agencies.

[@gelatoridersroadtrips4084]

Wouldn't this model be more a Class C motorhome? I tought class B were more like campervans like Sprinter, Ducato, etc

[@VanlifewithAlan]

Class C in the US yes, but Hymer calls it a Class B!

[@dygvssfdrgbxa8024]

Why do you want a 7m over 6m ? Parking has to be alot harder to find in small towns etc

[@VanlifewithAlan]

I agree, it is more difficult but I feel with seven metres I have more room for my mess.

[@dnguyen9747]

Doesn't matter how good it looks or how good the layout is. Bottom line is that Hymer is now wholly owned by US Thor Industries. Thor has the lowest customer satisfaction in the US. Considering that American RV customers are ALREADY resigned to low quality and low workmanship, the fact that Thor has a bad reputation should be a warning to European buyers. Thor is "famous" for speed of production, this is their marketing spin, for built it as fast as you can and let the warranty folks take care of the shoddy workmanship. American companies are not ashamed of building low quality products if they can sell them at a high price. High profit margins is supreme.

[@Manglob]

Different continents different policy. EU client buy Hymer r expecting only for the best. I'm sorry for US clients

[@ukgroucho]

Hmm Fully support the rent to try for size idea but the whole "DON'T BUY NEW" rant is unwarranted Putting aside folks that have figured out exactly what they want and maybe done a factory order you have to accept that the way the 'van' ecosystem gets populated is by people buying new units. May not be their perfect fit so they move it on and get something else but then you have a second hand van market. Ranting about not buying new is not helpful
