As I write, I am about to move into this Hymer B514 from 2006. The Hymer B514 is a fully integrated, short motorhome - only 639cm in length and 235cm in width. What I found particularly exciting about the Hymer B514 is the large garage, widthwise bed, spacious lounge with large table and compact shape. This vehicle has the optional arctic package which included electrical as well as gas heating, additional gas heating in the cockpit and probably some other features which I have not worked out yet!
I live in a motorhome full time and travel around Europe in it. I spend most of my time in Poland, Germany and Italy. Vanlife is my life.
In my KZfaq channel, I present reviews of recreational vehicles. Here you will find campervans and motorhomes from the cheapest camper vans to the most expensive luxury liners, from various companies including Hobby, Hymer, Carthago, Westfalia, Wingamm, La Strada, Frankia, Wavecamper, Maurer, Dreamer, Itineo, Rapido, Clever Vans, Pössl, Bürstner, Niesmann Bischoff, Action Mobil, Reisemobil Manufaktur, Robeta, Trigano, Challenger, EuraMobil, Karmann Mobil, Laika, Forster, Mobilvetta Design, Affinity, Globe Traveller, Benimar, Roller Team, Adria, Bocklet, Woelcke,Tourne, Megamobil, VW, Mercedes, CS, Renault, Ford, Fiat, Carado, Sunlight, Baileys, Chausson, Balcamp, Knaus, Weinsberg, Murvi, Bliss, Mitsubishi, Woelcke, Reisemobile Bürow, Holzmobil, Giotti Line, Florium, Fleurette, Ahorn, Westfalia, Space Camper, Orange Work, Concorde, Womondo, Protec, Auto Sleeper, Dethleffs, Ilusion, Gehocab, Malibu, Pilote, Wild Ax, Vantage, Bresler, Tom's Fahrzeugtechnik, Morelo, Swift, Carado and others.
I do this by regularly attending trade events such as CMT Stuttgart, Abenteuer und Allrad, Caravan Salon Dusseldorf, Warsaw Caravan and Camping Show and sometimes others.
I cover equipment, including 12v electrical equipment and talk a lot about lithium batteries.
I also show some of the places I have visited in Europe in my own motorhome, as well as the places you can stay at! I try to give as much coverage as I can to official campsites and free places which I use for overnighting. Therefore you can find here the aire or stellplatz that you are possibly looking for.

The last TV I bought was in the 80s and it developed a fault in the early 90s. I kept procrastinating about fixing it and then gradually came to realise that I wasn't missing it. So I threw it out and I've never had a TV since. Instead now I watch your videos Mr. Heath about motorhomes and obviously my life is very much better for it.

I love looking at myself naked too in the shower 🚿 or when having a wee, i was always told that if you think you have a small willy, It is probably because you are looking down at it, make sure you ALWAYS look at it in the mirror to get a much truer picture of size. And they were 💯 percent right! Looks like a different willy in the mirror, much larger because of the angles. Remember guys, never judge your willy size just from looking down on it as unfortunately many men are STILL doing sadly

Hello Alan,lovely well cared for van.im the one one who mentioned the A and E steps.Couple of words of advice.We had similar dropdown bed in Rapido A class,dropped down on M6,obscured my view in centre lane and nearly killed me and my wife and thats with just a duvet on bed.Be careful what weight you put in it.Also Hymer use the moving shower door in toilet,sounds great idea,but constant moving puts pressure on plastic pipe under sink and in mycase ripped the bottom of the sink out.Check the bottom of the sink for cracks and any cracks put twinpack glue around it and if the feel the pipe is putting pressure on the sink unit fit a small pipe extension to take the pressure off.

That is indeed an exciting video for me Mr. Heath. That motorhome you have bought is absolutely the kind of one I will be looking for when my search for a motorhome begins at last possibly towards the end of this year. I want one of roughly the same age with a large garage. Hymer is the manufacturer I'm most interested in because of the quality but also there is an excellent owners club in the UK full of people with a lot of knowledge and a resource like that is very useful There is a lot I like about your B514. That skylight in the shoilet ("shoilet" is a word I am trying to introduce for shower/toilet room) is really good in that one and I really like a skylight there. Personally I would keep the bed over the cab because although I don't have any grandchildren I do have friends foolish enough to think that going on holiday with me in a motorhome is a good idea. Lovely lovely motorhome Mr. Heath!
@VanlifewithAlan
@VanlifewithAlan Жыл бұрын
I think the word shoilet already exists, I just did a quick search and found it from 2006 - and it is used in this sense. As for any friends who may want to travel with you, then I can recommend the sleeping arrangements for any mates of mine who think they want to turn up : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNyEotlnu7ezpnk.html

Alan regarding your fridge sliding lock latch. We had the same issue on our former Swift caravan. The locking sliding latch is made of plastic and over time suffers fatigue which is expected. Actually the latch should only be used whilst travelling not regularly in and out the fridge. The plastic mechanism can be repaired which will last as long as it is not forced or as I were told by a caravan engineer readily replaceable for a few quid. Great van by the way!..enjoy!

Lovely van considering its age. Didn't know folding toilet existed in 2006! I don't think you are supposed to load the front bed while driving. You probably can't lock it in place with the ikea boxes in there.

These toilets existed long before 2006! I will remove the mattress before putting in the boxes and I suspect that even when packed with my clothes, it will weigh less than it did with the mattress!

It's never been used has it? I have a B584, 2004 what a wagon, so much better than the modern plastic ones. But I prefer my layout with a rear kitchen and sofa, more space

Great motorhome. Have you a video about how to buy a second hand motorhome, tips and advice about what to look for, avoid scams and payment?
@VanlifewithAlan
@VanlifewithAlan Жыл бұрын
I am going to do that as this was the second attempt in one week at buying a used vehicle. I possibly cannot help much with the scams as I don't know them all but I can of course mention them.

Congratulations Alan - it’s pristine. Would you have a view on the integrated transit Exsis I from roughly the same era? I’ve noticed they are quite competitively priced and wondered if this is because of shortcomings?
@VanlifewithAlan
@VanlifewithAlan Жыл бұрын
There is a problem with the Transit (which I also owned) which was due to condensation I later found out which shut the engine down. Of the two, I think this is much better but that is just my opinion.

I really like your motor home!! I like the blue and white seats and the blue floor matching. Did the blue floor come with the rv, or was that added afterwards? I’ll tell you one thing it doesn’t look like a 17 yr old rv, it looks way newer!

@VanlifewithAlan Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately it does not look so good after six months of me living inside. The seats are just as good although that is probably because I put towels over them to protect them. The blue floor is original I think.

Have a look a technique called retro brite - it’s a method of using UV light and hydrogen peroxide (I think) to restore yellowed plastic back to its original colour. It’s mainly used in the retro computer world for restoring yellowed computers and consoles.

That is really curious Glenn, I will mention that to others. The website is here : retro-brite.com/ . If anyone has any experience, I would be interested to know of it.

My apologies , I have just been out and measured it and it is just under 6.5m with the tow bar. I have been overpaying on the Interislander Ferry!

I hope you get a refund on the ferry Peter. Mind you, I got the width wrong. I said it was 226cm wide when in fact it is 235cm!
