Had one of these for 12 months, and spent 4 months touring Europe in her in 2019. One of the best designs, builds, and vans I have ever owned. Would love to have another!
That’s amazing to hear, I would love to get one to renovate
You should do an international version of this. A season in the U.S. A season in Australia. A season in Japan, etc. The U.S and Japan would probably have the strangest vehicles and locations for you.
Will I am sorry I am behind on your video you need some sukozies black blackout curtains they are sold in Canada but they cover the windows to the T
An international series coming soon 👀
@@WillsWhereaboutsHow About Do A Wild Test Internationally Aswell!
Hang a Leg Of Meat Inside.
Place In A Large Secure Enclosure.
Place Various Species Of Animals, 1 SPECIES AT A TIME, Inside Enclosure With The RV!
SEE IF THE SECURITY OF THE RV HOLDS UP!!
SLAG OF THOSE THAT ARE SHITE!
EXAMPLE;- SOMEONE OFF GRID CAMPING, ALONE/COUPLE/FAMILY, IN USA, AFRIKA, SIBERIA.
"HELLO BEAR, IM YOUR TAKEAWAY MEAL, WANNA COME INSIDE THROUGH THE DOOR"??!
"BEAR REPLIES, NO THANKS, I'LL USE, THOSE MASSIVE WINDOWS, INSTEAD, IF THATS OK"!
😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I love these old retro campers, there’s something about them thats just so comforting and relaxing than the modern day ones, hope you’re ok will mate 🙏🍻
I honestly think they will be worth a fortune soon
@@NotaHuskywolf some of them are worth a fortune now , especially the VWs
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".
Ive got the 660 had it 21years been to quite a few European countries with it ,wouldn't be without it
That is such a cool motorhome! Brilliant for the age. Perfect for a few weekends and short breaks away. Proper retro
100%, absolutely loved it
Love this motor home. Looks cosy and good for it's age 😍
It really is!
Lovely retro motor home.
All it needed was Will wearing some 10 inch flares and a flowery shirt to get the ambience right.
😂😂😂
Enjoyable as always.
😂 next time
I'm 'retro' 😂 and you're around 10 years out with the flares and flowery shirt..Will should have had some stone- washed ripped jeans and a bomber jacket on 😉😄
These old Hymers are great. I have one of the bigger ones, a tag axle, from that era. Great thing to tour about in.
I’ve recently found your channel & it has become my favorite. I love your sense of humor & I can’t wait for the next video.
Hi Will, I love the vintage camper van , so much space, it’s a lovely home on wheels. I would rate it at 4/5 for everything. It’s got pretty much everything you need on board, thank you Will for another cracking video. All the best 🤟🏼✌️👍❤️
Thanks Catherine and I definitely agree, it’s got everything you need and super practical
Im so happy i found you ive never laught so much with all your antics my family had blue n white vw campervan in the 60s 70s traveled all over England from the north east Scotland one year down Devon n Cornwall where my dads sister lived all we needed was a river and our blow up boat happy days ❤
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.
It’s a great classic camper for sure that I found to be super practical and easy to use
The led light on the ceiling really rock it
Love the Hymer, nice and wide, plenty of space to walk around. Plus loads of storeage😊
7:05 - you forgot to pre-heat, it's an old Diesel and he likes his Rudolf-Diesel minute-of-silence.
I thought I recognised the roads. Portsdown Hill if I’m not mistaken. Knowing it as I do, the idea of sleeping there, let alone cooking there was incredibly brave of you 👏🏻
It’s certainly a place I’m not going back to 😂
Love this series, love your enthusiasm.
Thanks Gill
Love it! Great way to end my birthday.. winding down watching this cheers will! 💙
Thanks Sarah and happy birthday
@@WillsWhereabouts thank you! X
We had a Commer Caravanette in the early 80’s - that was probably 15 years old when we got it and as a kid - I loved it. If you can get one of those that would be a great experience
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
Loved this Will, keep up the good work. Really enjoy watching you review these quirky vans. Hope you've caught up on your beauty sleep 😅
Haha thanks Kathy
omg I love the colone gear shift... I learnt to drive in a pick up truck with these gears, they are so the best....love it.
It was so much fun to drive a vehicle with gears like this
Hi Will I've only just discovered your channel and have seen about 3_= of your programs so far you come across as someone with a great sence of humour with a passion for Motorhomes and Caravans I enjoyed watching the programs I did see hope to see some more of these videos
God dam I’m loving this series Will. Bring on more and more please.
More to come mate
I've a Hymer 1991 B644 on a fiat base, 2.5td and only had it 18 years , always wild camp in it sometimes a campsite. Amazing vans. You should check out Classic Hymer group the most friendly group you'll ever meet. I did smile at your driving it's just a sideways gear stick. Mine will cruse along on the factory fitted cruise control on the motorway all day long , only just back last month from a 1200 mile trip from Europe one way. Quite good for long road works in Germany at 50 km an hour, gives the engine a breather I always think.😊
What a beautiful old motorhome it has more in that than the new one ,most enjoyable,nice one WILL
Cheers John
I own exacte the same and also 1989! And everthing is stil original and works. Love it and pure quality
The quality is amazing on these
You taking that shot was so funny 😂😂😂 I must of watched it over a 100 times lol
😂😂
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.
Another classic video from ya Will, when you have a classic to show its guaranteed. cheers
Cheers 🍻
Just saw your Citroen camper video, and had to subscribe.... Looking forward to watching all the previous videos 👍🏾🫶🏾
Do an overnight in a truck/lorry :))
I’ll see what I can do 😊
Staying in same model 18mth now love it great van faultless
Brilliant, well done! I got very confused with the left driving on the wrong side of the road, or whatever, uhh... hihi.
I had never seen a retro Hymer like this, thanks for showing us the perks, the bathroom is a gem for sure 🤓😀
Thanks, it’s an amazing classic vehicle for sure
Oh Will, I was so excited about this week’s video after reading your weekly email and spotting from the picture you were finally in Portsmouth! (I only live 5mins from the park up and would have been great to meet you) I’ve been longing for you to come and park up on Portsdown Hill for a while and I was really excited that you could experience the view up there, but was ever so disappointed that it let you down, it’s such a shame you didn’t get a great night sleep. I really hope you can give it another try sometime soon. Anyway thanks for a great video. 👍🏻
Thanks Chris, I’m sure I’ll be back soon enough for another visit
Always enjoy your vids, right from your car camping days, must be honest i do love the shorts 😍
Great video as always, great to see this end of the country
Thanks Gary
nice meeting you at the Italian bistro at the nec on Monday,keep up the good word
Thanks John, great to meet you too
Great video Will love the retro Hymer.
Cheers Nigel
I owned a hymer b544 for 3 years left hooker and column change, great solid vans it never let us down, sold it and bought a swift which was nothing but trouble
Hi Will nice motor home,awesome scenic views ,sorry your rest got interrupted some people have no consideration for others ,thanks for sharing stay safe
No worries Sonia, all part of van life
Ive just got back from Romania. I hired a car out there. 1st time in a left hand drive, it was ok until i had to change gear. Then i nearly opened my door. Took a bit of geeting used. 😂
😂😂
The drone shots with that music will always give me antiques road trip show vibes i love it haha
Love that!
Great video! 👍 Love the Hymer. As an aside I think I may have been parked next to you in the NEC car park Wednesday last week!? I was in a grey Fifer Touring while my other half was in the motorhome show. Had to do it in relay as we had our dog in the van 😂
You finally got me Will,,I have never seen this RV before ,,But what a cool one ! The Germans have always built such cool vehicles ! My dad was a senior Process engineer for VW And he always talked about the super builds they did ! Very cool sir ! Thanks for sharing .
Really is a very good quality build
I’ve never heard someone say “actually” so much within 17 minutes.
I actually agree 😂
😅
Basically a 3 on the tree old school manual transmission that’s awesome. What a neat motorhome the bathroom is really interesting considering the age of the unit.
It was a great Motorhome and even more fun to drive
Bloody Brilliant !!!!!
Happy to see a new video from U,kinda love that old Motor home.😎😎😎😎
You and me both!
That gear stick was normal in a 1980's Fiat Ducato/Peugeot or Citroën Van.
Brings back memories when I drove a 1991 Fiat Ducato,that was the way to shift gears.
I really enjoyed driving this I just say
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.
A lovely classic retro camper 😎😎
🔥🔥🔥
Good old wagons. Very well built unlike some lesser makes.
Cheers Will...you ARE THE Renaissance Man!!! I love the addition of some good old fashion T&A in your vlogs...love when you channel your "On the Continent" inner-self, you sexy man....Austin Powers...eat your heart out! (I hope Ben can control himself!) PS...this Hymermobil is the BEST vehicle you have ever reviewed to date! OMG, that parking spot has got to be the best dogging spot in Home counties!!! I am retired with zero fucks and zero money, but I became a Patreon because you are the most fun of all the 86 RUclipsrs I follow!
The camper looked great and did everything it should do.apart from the knob neighbours that made noise at 4am in the morning 🤣🤣
this is what I used to go on vacation with!!!
great Vvlog will love the 80's van
Thanks
Will, I can't believe you came to Portsmouth!! You were only about 10 minutes away from me, if I'd have known it would have been great to meet you. Love the videos, keep up the great work man!
Next time matey 😊
It had a cool retro look to it, I quite like the shape of it 😎👍
It’s a very quirky looking vehicle
I’d love something like this in my life. 😍 it’s amazing!
Really enjoyed this 1 well put together can't wait for the nxt 1
Glad you enjoyed it
You certainly know how to put on a nice spread. It looks good enough to eat.
It was delightful
Willllll, my man, you are such a hottie! I love your videos! only one a week is not enough! we need more Will in his shorts!! Keep them coming! :)
Hey Will love watching your channel. Saw your trip in the VW T2 which broke down and would love to offer you the use of our T3. Which is reliable but being 35 yrs old who knows. It is quirky as it has been build to be very different from the outside. It does have a heater to keep you warm at night. It's called Moose Piwss. Also known as Puple Moose. We are based in beautiful South Wales 🏴
Thanks so much Karen, your van sounds amazing! Send me an email or message to will@willswhereabouts.com please
loved this one Will..and the icing on the cake was you overlooking Pompey! ..shame you didn't show the beautiful night view though x
Certainly a great view but very popular and noisy
Very nice older camper. Nice working that commercial into the video too. :)
Thanks 👍
Looking good 🙂
Good review LOVELY MOTORHOME. Nicer inside than outside bigger than expected it has everything I need
It really is!
Lovely classic retro vehicle
Love these vans . Great video buddy . I’d have been out that van in me boxers holding spoons . Yerrrr spooks can you imagine what they would think
i want one will. great vid pal,, 80's rock !!!!
It’s such a cool van
I'm showing my age now, but in New Zealand we called the gear arrangement. Column change.
We had the exact same cup holders in our 2020 Georgetown Motorhome :)
Such a good little touch
Loving this motor home
Looks as comfy as hell.
watching van videos before sleep is my favorite activity😂 you being funny and s3xy is another + 🤪
Brilliant! Older than you i think Will! Like my 24 year old Swift 490 SE caravan. Old but solid lol. All the best always look forward to Sunday night upload. David & Orla🐶
Old but gold so they say and this one certainly fits the bill
Good to see you in my home town. Hope you weren't disturbed by doggers! That hill is renowned for it 😂
Hah I’m sure there were plenty knocking around
13:04 It’s hugh Hefner! 😂
😂😂😂
You didn’t see his other half dressing gown still hanging at the door
One of my neighbors up here in Scotland has this and it's really cool. Their's name is Bertha lol
I loved the beds location. Proper space saver 😏😄
It really is
The joys of portsdown hill at night
Won’t be going there again 😂
U are so funny . Love watching you. . Looking forward to to your next one
Cheers Betty, plenty more to come
They kept it in good nick. Gfeat stuff!
The left-hand drive had to be fun on those tight roads
It really was hah, I got used to it quickly
@0:58 The one piece curved windshield ...will make a grown Man Cry when it cracks and must be replaced !!!
Seen them replaced in the field with like 5 Technicians ...
We called that kind of shifter in 🇺🇸 three on the tree.
Great video as always 🎉
Thank you 🤗
Ah you're overlooking my hometown, I live just by the beach. It's a right of passage for every Pompey teenager/young adult going up the hill for a Mick's monster burger sitting in your car with a silly loud exhaust 😂
If you come back, Port Solent will probably be a better park up for peace, although you wouldn't get the views! In the winter its free to park overnight along the seafront 😉
Thanks for the info Amy, I’ll give the other park up a try next time for a better nights sleep hah
11:14 beef 😳😳 😂 sorry mate. I love your show it’s really good 👍
Hah thanks
In the UK the gear leaver was called a "Colum change"
Great vid ! Great Van X I've got an old vivaro but it's great !! Old isn't always bad lol
Definitely, the older ones are some of my favourites
Fab camper love the big plush driving seat 😂. Your videos are super good now just wish they were longer. Xx
😊 thank you
Neat camper, glad you got to try LHD. But if you're going to be laying like that, fluff up the, uh, pillows a bit first.
Loving these videos and loving the reviews.
Thanks mate
Nice video mate , as always awesome Will Best Regards from Andrew from Downunder
Thanks 👍
12:51 brushing teeth and sitting on the loo 👌 that's handy Jonghù
It’s the new done thing now days
So much space. Love it, better then that cramped VW BUZZ, that was about 80.000.
Certainly a big money saving
