Able to travel - not

[pandas]

Just a moan; picked up our Hymer up from storage after 7 months of not being able to use it and one of the headlight indicators/daylight strips doesn't work. Potential delay for a replacement 4 months? How can that be right. The season will almost be over then, potential trips postponed, potential 3rd lock down on the horizon blimey we are hacked off. It's 2 year warranty also run out whilst in lock down so potentially a problem there. Only 7k miles on the clock. I wonder if my motorhome insurance would cover non use due to parts not being available (silly thought), what would we have done if we were a couple of months into an 8 week trip in Europe which we would normally be on now? Frustrated, bit too early to open a bottle of wine right now.

There is likely to be a specialist business able to repair the faulty part - you just need to find them.

Hymer Duomobile Indicator Woes

Two years ago, we bought a Hymer Duomobile. The thinking was that with an almost new van (2017), we would have trouble free motoring. We’ve spent happy times touring in northern Spain and stayed in provence for five weeks last year. But..... We SORNed it this spring due to COVID, and when the...

Personally I would carry on as normal but in daylight hours and taking extra care turning when indicator is required, but then I sometimes run close to the wind.
If pulled say you checked them before leaving home as you always do

I think it is time to start kicking the supplying dealers who you have your contract with. They will need to kick Hymer if they want to, not you. If you read post#27 you will see I have done so in the first week of ownership of brand new van as far as I can see the dealers are aware they just...

You're not alone pandas . We've got the same problem. Ordered the part 3 weeks ago from Travelworld, who said delivery would be 6-8 weeks, but we're hoping it'll be no more than 10.
Have a look in the Hymer Owners Group on Facebook. There's a lot of info about it on there, and a discount at TW if you're member of the group.
We've ordered 2 new looms, just in case.

In most towns there is an auto electrical specialist. Try them.
As previously mentioned I would use it and drive it in the daytime.
I drove home from Nottingham on Monday with a smart toad and forgot to put on the number plate. What you don’t know can’t hurt you.
