Hi,
We stupidly sat in the wrong motorhome at the Peterborough show so now are the proud owners of a Hymer B614SL Star Edition without the Front bed but factory fitted cupboards instead. It's four years old but most bits have never been used.
So.... Having never had anything to do with the Hymer clan I need to come up to speed with all things Hymer good and bad. If you have any good sources of info and links to translated handbooks for the various bits it would be appreciated.
Also explanations or links to find out about things like exploding headlights that I have heard about, or is that just another uban myth like gas atacks?
The Daytime Running Lights are just ordinary bulbs which appear to be silvering a bit as they are obviously on all the time. Can these be swapped for LED bulbs without the computer saying NO, if so any good sources?
I have been used to a Mercedes Chassis but now have a Fiat Euro5 2.2 with 4.5tonne Alko Chassis and while driving it home to the South of France got the engine management light come on, then go off, and now just before home come on again. Is this a common thing?
I will be fitting Solar panels but will ask pertinent questions on the appropriate part of the forum later.
Hopefully we haven't made a mistake moving from our LeVoyageur (which we love and have yet to sell) to a Hymer, probably only time will tell.
Thanks for reading.
Steve
