Hymer motorhomes - I want one!
Rather than paying £650+ per week to hire a camper van this summer I've persuaded a mate, who was also separately planning to hire a camper van for a week or two, that we should invest in one!From what I've been told they don't really depreciate so we should be able to keep it for a year and sell it for about what we paid. Saving ourselves at least £2600 in fees that we would have paid for renting!
So I'm on the look out for a Hymer 5 berth motorhome (which really means 2 berth) and my budget is £6000. This one on ebay looks great and finished at £5000 - perfect! The only thing is that the dealer had a reserve of £13500 on it!
Can anyone offer any tips or advice to us as first time camper van buyers?
Please note that this is related to Mobile Tech in some ways...if you think about it. Hehe. Also with two geeks owning it I'm sure it will have plenty of toys in it before long.

Great idea. I've though about doing a UMPC-tour in one of those and trying to blog from as many cities in one week as possible!

Hi Steve,
Yeah! Unfortunately we missed out on another one yesterday which had a reserve just above our budget. I spoke to the guy to make him an offer but alas he'd already been offered more!
Damn and blast!

Hi. Found your blog by pure fluke, We have owned the Hymer in your picture for just over a year. We are away in it at least every third week and have traveled around 12,000 km in the UK and France. Now looking for a newer and bigger one. Check the story at http://mikanni.vox.com/
