Our Hymer 4×4 motorhome is for sale…
After many adventures and amazing times, so much so that I haven’t had time to write here, it is time to move on and therefore the ‘Nomad Explorer’, Hymer 4×4 motorhome is for sale.
Precisely it is a Mercedes Hymer MLT580 4×4.
It is a rare 4×4 Mercedes Sprinter based motor home with full winter spec.
As readers of my blog will have seen we bought it new Jan 2018 and immediately vinyl wrapped in satin black by S6 Wraps in UK, wrap can be removed and van restored to pristine white body, original graphics and grey cab.
The Hymer 4×4 motorhome is UK registered but left hand drive for European touring. Having spent much of our time, as many do in Europe, this has made it much more practical and comfortable for our driving adventures.
The Mercedes 3.0 V6 engine and automatic/triptronic gearbox has been invaluable. No worries or slow downs up hill and you can have such fun watching people’s faces as the ‘slow motorhome’ some speeding past them in the fast lane!
The raised suspension, 4×4 and Hymer’s full winter package have worked perfectly for our winters in the alps.
The Hymer motorhome winterised pack includes Alde underfloor heating plus 2 additional Webasto diesel heaters (one cab & one for engine). We’ve spent two full winters in the Hymer in the French Alps and we can confirm it is super cosy and perfect for winter conditions…
Key highlights include:
Rear wheel drive Mercedes drive train with switchable and very capable 4×4, essential for mud, ice, snow and sand.
Truma Duo Control CS gas system (the system switches automatically to the full bottle when one runs out so no need to go out in the cold to manually switch over).
3 leisure batteries; 1800W 240V inverter perfect for charging all phones, laptops and even TV and coffee machine.
Reversing camera – critical for driving and parking in towns and villages.
Huge heated garage – perfect for storing summer and winter kit. Works really well for drying and keeping kit warm in winter too.
Large (2.1×1.95m) and comfortable longitudinal bed so no climbing over each other to get in and out of bed. The bed is the full width of the van so very luxurious and cosy.
It can be set up as two single beds too. You can see how the mattresses split in this photo…
We could not have lived the winter in our Hymer motorhome without the generous bathroom with shower. Lots os storage space in there and the water heats up in a few minutes for a lovely hot shower.
Of course we also cooked, a lot, during our winters and summer. The tall fridge freezer, three burner hob and lots of cupboard space in the kitchen work really well.
Hymer fitted blinds and fly screens on all windows;
3 large roof windows;
External gas appliance attachment;
Scorpion tracker;
Preparation for tow bar;
Back mounted spare wheel, air compressor, hydraulic jack;
Rear air suspension.
We have also fitted and include in the sale:
2 Thule canopies (one on each side);
Thule drop down awning; 150W
solar panel and controller;
Sony tv;
Apple play Sony audio system (used for navigation);
External windscreen cover, great for keeping the warmth in and snow off the windscreen in winter.
If you know motorhomes and you know Hymer you know that this 4×4 Hymer motorhome was not cheap when we bought it two years ago.
We have had some great adventures, travelled many miles (38,600 miles, 61,800km) and it was worth every penny.
We think you will find yourselves doing the same!
Our Hymer 4×4 motorhome is for sale for £69,900 , 78,000€.
