Looked at this model on Friday, its on a Merc. chassis with a 2.7cdi sprint shift, 6 gear automatic gearbox.
Its slightly older than we wanted, but its provenance is good, as is its interior and exterior, and with 31K miles on the clock, its just run in, or so I'm told! This all with one owner from new.
Now, my knowedge of Merc's is nil, so are there any weak points we should look for when we revist next week? I have to say it ran smoothly, and had loads of power, the automatic gear shift was impressive, but any advice, good or adverse, would be appreciated.
We found two leisure batteries, looked to be 100amp each, and we also noticed that the control panel, over the habitation door, indicated it had a solar panel. Allas, this was not the case, it was however suggested that it was prewired for a solar panel. (from panel to batteries, leaving only the solar panel to be connected to the control panel) So if anyone can confirm/advise if this could be correct, again, we would be grateful. I do wonder, if correct, how do Hymer know which grade of wire to use for carrying the load!
Once again, thanks in anticipation:thumb:
