My grandparents (mothers side) had a 644 Mercedes Hymer with a dually in the rear (dont remember model precisely). We used to go fishing in Sweden alot in my younger years with it. Then later when my grandparents wanted to buy a new one, my parents offered to buy it and got it. My parents drove it for about 4 summers, one time I got to follow them on a roadtrip around Åland (largest island between Sweden & Finland). That was the last time I saw it driving on the roads. Now it's our little summerhome at my grandparents (fathers side) villa/cottage. 2 major problems we had with it on the road where: - Hydraulic pump for the clutch gave way and was very difficult to fix, it's now fixed. - Handbrakes dont work no matter how much time we've put into it. Which is why it is now in "hybernation".

LHD in the UK really isn’t an issue. I drive a RHD Land Rover camper around Europe and it really isn’t a issue, the odd junction can be difficult but you just position the vehicle so you can see or use your passenger as a spotter.

@axwomble8776 5 ай бұрын

A great look round from a modern perspective. A good learning experience for you too, from a driving point of view. It probably didn’t start first time because you didn’t cycle the glow plugs - you need to switch the key to ‘run’ and then wait for the yellow glow plug light to go out, and only then try to start. It’s an old diesel thing. And I found it funny that you noticed it wouldn’t go into 1st while rolling - this is also an old vehicle thing, I’ve never had a car or van that would do it, and it’s due to a weaker/less effective synchromesh on 1st

A smart person owns this camper they labeled the switches. It's a nice camper for its age that I wouldn't mind owning. I am just not a fan of the bed over the cab I am 6'2" and will be hitting my head on it. it will be annoying to have to duck every time I want to drive. But it is a neat feature. Remember every one be kind to your Neighbors treat others how you want to be treated and not show up at 4:30 in the morning being loud. poor will needs his beauty sleep. And thank God this vehicle had a indoor shower especially with others around.

I love this set up. Other than the bathroom that needs a better set up for the shower. And noisy neighbours. But, with the number of people now living off grid it will be awhile yet before the noise dies down. Some people are off grid for economic reasons. However a large number are off grid because it is currently trendy. It was the same in the 50’s&60’s. Men coming back from overseas starting families. It was a more economically way to have a vacation.

I really hope you can give it another try sometime soon. Anyway thanks for a great video. 👍🏻
