Our 1996 Hymer B544 Van Tour

We've had Nessie Pebble our 1996 Hymer B 544 for over 20 years so thought it was about time we did a van tour to show why for us, it's the perfect motorhome!

Fantastic, thank you for that. I'm going to see a 2006 3 berth model next week and quite excited after this video. They seem to be very well designed and spacious. This one is the 2.8 TD, and if its anything like the old 2.0hdi that i used to have, it should be smashing.

They are amazing. Good luck with your hunt.

@@vintagevantics Thank you!

Hymer do make good campers.

Hi, thank you for the video! Have you had any problems finding spare parts, for the engine or the rest of the van ?

[@vintagevantics]

@@bobsmith369 no problems so far. So many Hymer’s are still on the road that there are many sources for spares.

Very nice review of the Van. How is your experiance with it mechanically ? Engine gearbox clutch breaks, etc and how reliable is it on longer journies ? What is the maximum speed you have driven this van ?

@@sohailzafar4340 we’ve had it 20 years and travelled 120k across UK, France, Spain, Germany and it hasn’t missed a beat mechanically. Clutch and gearbox smooth as silk. Cruises on motorway at 100k. Climbs hills with ease too. Just done cam belt every 5 years and serviced every year. It’s been amazing.
