Would a Hymer B584 be good for medium to long term living? If not, which MH? [Tiny Budget]

[alittlerock]

Hi,

Looking at getting a second hand B584 for some medium to long term living!
Read a top 10 list and these scored quite high, and are the only thing that is in any way affordable for me [well, when I get the money together!]
Ideally for me but would like it to be comfy for 2 of us as well.

Is there a better option for a second hand buy?

I am 6'4'' so really need a little more space than the average bear.

Thank you for your wisdom!

Your budget is going to br the deciding factor. The more you have to spend the more you will have to choose from.

I have fulltimed for over 11 years now in a few different vehicles.

If budget allowed and my requirements meant a coachbuilt was required then the Hymer 584 would be at the top of my list.

I like it because the little table with seat would make a perfect office area for me to work from. The drop down bed mean I have the space during the day without having to make a bed up each day.
The lounge seat is perfect for relaxing and watching a film on my computer from the table. The separate shower is an essential for a fulltimer in my opinion.

As it happens I moved from a Euramobil 770HS to self builds to get the layout I wanted exactly at a budget I could afford. The 584 still sits as the only coachbuilt I do still think about though.

There is a very nice 2001 LHD B584 at the moment on Ebay priced at £17950. Plenty of history too.

Your thoughts have really helped.

Thanks!

Thank you! My budget will be more around 10k, given the amount of time it's going to take to squirrel it away - ans I do mean squirrely it away!! will have a look tho!

I don't think you will get a 584 for 10K in good enough condition to last you as a full timer. I was looking at the £15-£20K price mark when I last looked which is why I went the self build route.

I would also suggest one more thing. Your van will eventually shuffle off this mortal coil and need replacing. Estimate how long this will take then religiously put enough money into a savings account each week/month to cover the replacement. I didn't do this and regretted it big time.

But thx for info, just going to have to work damn well harder!! [don't really believe in loans etc.

Thank you!!
