No fatties can buy a Hymer Duomobile! (1 Viewer)

[BobtheBass]

We have been casting envious glances at the smaller Hymer Duomobile model for a while now and thinking that we might splash out on a pimped up model, but have just seen a photo showing a sticker on a bed saying that the single bed weight limit is only 100kg! That might be ok for all you racing snakes out there but at 18 and a half stone that puts me way over the limit and my dear Mrs Bass is perilously close as well. What's that all about Hymer? You have lost a sale and I doubt if every German motorhomer in a land of gorgeous ( but highly fattening) food and beer would scrape under.

Wouldn't that weight limit make it useless for practically any couple having a little "together" time

 

[CazPaul]

I,m surprised as our Hymer S820 which we have now sold was designed I think by 2 great big fat Germans who had all meals delivered to the van.

The rear transverse double could have fit at least 5 adults up there, then a tiny kitchen area with absolutely no worktop whatsoever.

There was plenty of''Together time'' passing each other in that tiny kitchen, I swear she got pregnant once in passing.

I think they calculate the MIRO using a driver weight of 75kg, so and 100 bed limit seams generous

 

[BobtheBass]

I assumed that 101kg would rip the fittings off the wall and the bed would collapse!

11 stone something? I thought most Germans (and I'm 25% German so am allowed to say this) were born bigger than that?

There is probably some wobble room in that figure

To hell with it, put your towel on it. Sorry couldn't resist that one.

I love the windscreen cover on your MH. Saw them at Malvern but hubby wouldn't let me get one

If you're over the 11 stone you can still drive them just can't carry any food.

Everyone stares at it and giggles when they see it! We absolutely love it to bits. Get hubby to change his mind!

Think you be ok...

The 100 kg bit refers to the single bed extension part, and is the same on all DL Hymer with the single bed "foot" bits .

So if you are over 100kg, as long as you don't climb into the bed by putting all your weight on the extension piece all would be well. Frankly if your over 100 kg you'd probably not be flexible enough to climb in that way anyway, it's certainly not the natural way to get in!

Probably more of an issue for the ahem larger person would be the bathroom. You'd not be able to sit on the toilet and have the door shut in the full privacy position as you'd not have room (I'm 65 kg and 5 foot 9' and can only just do it).

By not having the door shut in the full privacy position, your partner would be exposed to your fumes as they lie in bed as there's no separation....

I'm only 65kgs and that is 10 stone so I think you calculation of 11stone something is a bit off 100 kilo is a lot more than that More like 15 3/4 stones anyway those the beds have a pullout and that is the limited bit, the main bed is not marked up with a limit but they are a long way apart anyway, you climb up in between like twin beds.

I meant the 75kg calculation for the average drivers weight they use when establishing the carrying capacity, but I think the toilet size has put me off totally now!

I had a look at the Duomobile, looks like an excellent excersize in form over function, I mean that pedestal sink, water would go everywhere especially from the raised tap, wouldn't it ???

Of course, the toilet is bigger in the bigger Duomobile Just to help you spend you hard earned

Oh here we go 5 adults oh!.....pampas grass thread coming up ?

Are you inferring that hydraulic steadies might be needed to stop the rocking????

Becoming a sex god is all part of the Duomobile experience @GWAYGWAY
