The Hymer Club

Wow I love the JC but gotta be doing some serious trips to justify the expense - one for retirement maybe.!!

It is intended to be a van that takes us into (early) retirement when we have the ability to travel for a couple of months at a time.

Really fancy this.
But I’d never find the time in all honesty.
Also, what’s the van worth post conversion…?
Hymer has a value 3 years down the line. That was another issue with a conversion from a UK team.
Can’t believe New Wave shut up shop last week. Their builds were quality.

Fair enough, I couldn't justify spending that much on a posh camper myself. The price per night's use camping must be horrific.

Found a cheaper option that seems to tick all boxes except the 4x4 option.....

That one is quirky, gimmicky and wastes a lot of space, the stairs for instance, and the fold away bed at the back, but if your happy with a fiat and no 4wd you open up everything and everyone else, and then you are spoilt for choice!

Need living floor space (for dogs) and two beds, and storage for a few months away at a time. Love the pop top in the VW and was drawn to the Venture because of the pop top and the AWD ........... AWD is not the issue, its more clearance / ramp over for off the beaten trails. Not worried about a Fiat

So a GC700 van conversion would be too small and something 8 to 9m long would be too big. Open to suggestions
