We have been looking for a new motorhome to replace our current Hymer B544. This is primarily because of the 'old' 2.8 engine and gearbox combination. We love the vehicle and its layout but when towing the poor gear ratios are not only apparent but down right frustration and makes driving a real effort.
We have looked at many motorhomes over the last few weeks but cannot find anything within our budget, and to be honest have been very disappointed with the standard of vehicles we have looked at.
Therefore does anyone know if it is possible to swap out the 2.8 TD engine and replace it with a 2.8 JTD engine. I know it sounds a drastic step to take but it will alleviate the breaking 5th gear problem experienced on the earlier 'add' on 5th gear on my 2000 model.
Thanks
