What are these Hymer bits? (1 Viewer)

[WhiteCheyenneMan]

Found in the box of goodies that came with our s/h Hymer Van 562 Silverline. Does anyone know what they are?

 

[MC 55 FUN]

Dunno but the '' unten '' marked on them is German for '' under '' or '' below ''

 

[jessthedog]

.Not part of the bed are they? Lift up the mattress.

How big are they.
Might give some idea.

Yes I do! They push onto the little sky light window handle. If you give me a few hours I'll take a pic of ours

Thanks for the confirmation that the German ' O ' level I passed in 1975 wasn't a complete waste of time & effort . .

 

[jessthedog]

Sorry, thought they were part of the bed system like below.

I wasn't doubting you, just gives a few more options rather than simply 'below'
It may mean ' this side down' rather than under something..

 

[WhiteCheyenneMan]

Ahah! Sounds promising. 3 clips for the 3 skylights makes sense. Yes, a photo would enable me to get my brain to understand Mousy!

I feel cheated that I don't have those!

Saves getting mildew under the mattress as happens with a solid board.

To be honest, the Ikea bed slats are just as good and around a £100 cheaper!

Lots of boat owners use them to get air under the mattress and prevent mildew.

Yes def for sky light ,it locks them in place

 

[BobtheBass]

They clip together to make a 3D representation of the Manx symbol, the 3 Legs of Man. This confirms that your motorhome was actually made at the Hymer factory in Douglas, where skilled local craftsmen can still be hired for eleven shillings a day.....

In the same vein, I found this packed away in the garage of our s/h Motorhome (Hymer B654 2007).
It was next to the silver screens but I can't find anywhere it fits.
Any ideas please anyone?

Could it be a 'grille muffler', fitting to the bottom of the sliver screen and intended to cover the radiator grille? I know that they exist, but I've never seen one.

As others have said they are definitely locking pieces for the small skylights. I guess you have 3 small skylights. We never bother with them, can't even remember where I put them.

I think that that is what Hymer call an insulation mat for the drivers cabin footwell. You screw 4 poppers (that come with it) onto the bottom of the dash and then popper it on. It is designed to stop drafts coming up from below the dashboard from cab heater vents and pedals and covers both drivers and passengers sides. It came as part of their Arktis Package that included other things such as uprated heaters, external screen cover etc.

Be careful though. When I collected my motorhome Becks said that I couldn't take it with me because they had discovered it was only suitable for LHD (had a few others like it they said). They sent it away somewhere to be altered and then posted it to me. Never used it yet.

Edit. It should have its own storage bag, and the instructions are in a plastic pouch on the bottom of the bag.

These were in a box and don't look as though they have ever been used either!

Arh!, thanks, that's a possibility - will check if it fits.

Blimey, both of your suggestions are possibilities!
The van is LHD and the 'thing' is made by Wigo (www.wigo-zelte.de) but I couldn't find anything similar on their website - even sent them an email before Christmas to enquire but never had a response. It also has a velcro strip along it's longest side.
I must say, whatever it is I've never missed it...just curious to know what it may be!
PS - Apologies for highjacking this thread!

They do not appear to be on the Hymer options list other than as a component of the Arktis pack. It it is not snowing tomorrow I may just go out and have a look at mine in the motorhome.

Does it also have 3 or 4 little metal poppers along one long side? It may be that the velcro replaces them. How old is your Hymer?

Thanks for your help.
No, there are no poppers along any side. Just (unused/as new) velcro strip along two sides as shown in the photo:
