Hi @lamyj , you must be really disappointed, I would be and in fact I was.
Unusually I actually wanted a LHD because I believe that it is easier driving a LHD in a country I'm familiar with than it is to drive a RHD on unfamiliar roads. I ordered mine from the main (sole) concessionaire in the UK almost exactly 12 months ago at the NEC.
When the delivery date kept slipping I was able to source a brand new one with exactly my specification in Germany and did a little battle to get my £10,000 deposit back.
I will admit I saved many thousands and in fact tens of thousands but the reason I went for it was that my health at the time was less than 100% and a short delivery time was more important to me than anything else.
I would go there again but wouldn't try to tell you to do the same, each to his own and rightly so.
I worked for a Ford dealer in the early 80's and watched the imported XR3's coming into this country via Ebbeca International Ltd and cursed the early importers so I can see it from both perspectives.
In a nut-shell go with your instincts and don't let anyone influence that instinct without you desire them to give advice and the very best of luck in your search.
Hopefully we can have a laugh about all this over a beer in a field somewhere soon.

My advice would be to try and negotiate and get the higher spec van at the price already agreedJust a quick update - no joy yet from TravelWorld
All 2016 vans allocated to dealers - non available in TCL Automatic. Will have to wait until August for new one to our spec
TravelWorld offered alternative van coming in April, higher spec BUT at a cost to us of a further £6,000.00 - Afraid I do not have that sort of money laying around in my knicker drawer.
No offer yet of deposit back with interest or compensation for loss of holidays and deposits lost
I think will have to seek advice on TravelWorld negating contract
Await events !!

My 2005 RHD Hymer has LHD wipers. I don't know when they started to fit the correct 'hand' wipers but on older ones they didn't and on newer ones they do. Not really an issue for me but some owners find it annoying.Calm down ... calm down.
Have a look at the 2 photos I linked to. You will see that the RHD and LHD wipers are exactly handed. In both the drivers side wiper sweep up to vertically on the drivers side by the same amount. Not only is the sweep in the opposite direction, but the position of the bottom of the wiper has been moved. The sweep area has changed and the one on the drivers side of the LHD is the same as the RHD only handed. The effect is therefore exactly the same for the driver (and the passenger).
Now compare the way the RHD one sweeps with the way that the one on the photo of the RHD car/van (can't tell) does. They are the same. The only difference is that Hymer has 3 blades rather than two.
BTW I am perfectly happy with the wipers on my RHD Hymer A class, especially after having to drive through an absolute deluge a couple of weeks ago. Don't know about others. Maybe Hymer occasionally make a mistake and fit the wrong wipers (and windscreen) to RHD models? Or maybe other makers?
Naw - just Park it.Somebody should have given it the once over.
