Hi
My name is Tony drury, my wife's name is Jeannette. We are new members to Motorhome Fun. We became motorhome people three years ago after travelling to Germany to buy a fairly new motorhome. We were a little dissapointed when we saw the motorhome we thought we were bringing home to spain as the build quality and condition of this motorhome in general was not good . Not to be put off we hired a car and set of to find a motorhome. We stayed in a lovely little hotel north of Hanover, this was in late october, snow was falling. In the morning after breakfast and set off not really nowing where we were going! We found a couple of motorhome dealers. The third dealer we had a chat with the owner who told us 'dont be put off by age'. He gave us a key to look at a Hymer 550S age 1992, 93.000 kilometers 2.9 mercedes diesel engine, having full history from day one, We opened the door and got inside, we both looked at each other and said this is it . I took it for a test drive ... loved it , we gave the man his money he sorted all the paper work out. We stayed one more night in the hotel and drove the hymer 3.100 kilometers home to Spain.
Sorry to have gone on a bit about us .
We intend to do more wild camping . Can anyone help us, which is better Solar Panels or a small 2 kva generator?
Tony and Jeannette :thanks:
