Not been a huge fan of front bed arrangements. But they seem to have evolved, now look much more private than before and very close to same feeling as normal rear bed. This opens a lot of new space to the rear. Travelling with a labrador this would work fine. It looks like overall insulation of front area is better now. I like the small one a lot. Still I would prefer styling would come from the era of our grand parents. Thank you for the video!
Alan, the main difference between the two models is the smaller has a third travel seat and the longer has also a fourth one more comfortable, both covered in the rear setties, thus the difference in length also.This year the offer at the Duesseldorf Caravan salon has a much wider options area!Between this two Duos, I'd choose the smaller one, though 7 meters long is already a bad choice for ferries and parking lots in towns... :)Many thanks for all your vids and useful reviews!
At first glance, it looked like the title said Hymen Douchemobile. Not to mention you never showed the driving compartment either. But thank you so much for putting up a free video! ...hope that is better...
BTW Justin I have uploaded an article on the B704SL and B708SL as well as its chassis which should answer your questions about it! www.motorhomefulltime.com/vehicle/hymermobile-b-sl-launched www.motorhomefulltime.com/equipment/hymer-introduces-new-chassis
I would choose the smaller as it has less shiny bling , the lack of prep space is über annoying as there are many design solutions to increase prep space. Using the lower table will strain the lower back muscles.Van conversion, Murvi ,Shire have far better kitchens Agree with you about designing for four when only used by two.Again two versions of a Van could be made .
this is MY fav too. i like it i like the headroom in the sitting area and the privacy built in in the drop down. this Duo mobile seems like more floor space too for people with dogs. I dont like the steps not when ive got tiny dogs. I like the flat all throughout on floor. Its super nice i would go for bigger one your going to spend 100 grand id get the bigger one :P
Another great review, Thanks. Was last year that certain manufacturers were offering 10 yr. warranty for moisture intrusion and is that still offered? Can one buy motorhomes at a discount from the Dusseldorf RV show?
There are some ten year warranties but it is not standard. Manufacturers claim to offer a show discount but I would think you would get that outside the show too!
Well as you have asked, should I have the money then it'd be the shorter one. Why? As you pointed out a darn sight more practical than the longer one plus does everything that you could want in any case. Regarding getting about after you have parked up, I'm guessing that both have a reasonable row weight? In which case a small car on a dummy axle might be the answer, probably something like a Panda or even a (not so) Smart.
Pity Hymer don't build a daily run about van - 7 foot wide, 2 metres high (able to enter underground parking) etc Double floor is an excellent idea, I must use it.
I think one can only tell how good build quality is after a couple of years of use. Having however seen the the Hymer test track, I suspect it is pretty good!
Slightly biased here as we have a Frankia i740 Plus 50 but I think the Frankia is a far better take on this layout - also I beleive Frankia build a better motorhome TBH - Hymer groupies are a little bit like the BMW groupies back in the 80/90's while all the clever people bought Audi's (Frankias) hahahah - just joking but I do beleive Frankia have made a better job of this layout
Very bad camera work, I did not understand what you are showing. Try to see the view from the viewer. Beautiful ds you know what you want to do there ....
Pourriez vous recommencer votre présentation ? Le film est si mauvais que je ne comprends rien à la disposition intérieur, j'ai cru comprendre que la chambre se trouvait en cabine, mais où sont passés les fauteuils? Filmez un plan... , celà durera moins longtemps et l'on comprendra beaucoup mieux. Merci
Absolute top Fahrzeuge-so wünscht man sich ein Wohnmobil

I'd pick the smaller as well.

Always great to put films up free of charge for people and get called a twit as thanks.
Alan Heath what is your location and where can I see it
super design idea to invert the usual layout . works perfectly as a long term tourer Id take the longer one of course !! lol

The shorter version was the van I was aiming to buy for a while. Really like both of them tbh - but not cheap :)
And you won't find a second hand one!

Sodding spell checker! That was tow not row!
Annoying the spell checkers. My phone only allows four languages which means that when I get to the fifth it comes out all funny!
I don't know what the tow length is but would you really want to tow a car behind this?
Good video, Alan. Thanks for sharing. It's a shame there is no MB chassis option.
Also the sitting arrangement should accommodate a bad for two guests...
You mean by putting the table down to make a bed?
Fiat will do me!
Yes.
I was thinking of importing into the US market, so Fiat would be a no no.

Hymercar is a daily run around - for example here : th-cam.com/video/y5WN9oJh_AY/w-d-xo.html
yeah, that's just a VW T5 cross-over . plus poor use of space.
Great Video, thanks, I'd go for the smaller.
How good is the build quality on these?
I think one can only tell how good build quality is after a couple of years of use. Having however seen the the Hymer test track, I suspect it is pretty good!
Thats true. Thanks for the response.
Its German i believe and usually German made things are high quality.
Hymer the best,

Always nice to hear a second opinion Terry! I do like Frankias by the way! I shall be posting a couple of films with them this autumn!
bigger one for me with the price of the smaller one of course
When you're 82, how do you get up into the bed?
There are pull out steps!
Great vid Alan , like both of the Hymers but not the price 😬
I can do anything about that David!
How many price in india
No idea.
I wish I could hear you better your voice is being drowned out. Otherwise the campers are great. Second video like this. 🤷🏾♀️
What can I do if they won't let me in when there is no noise?
Big Al
You missed the steps that slide out to get onto bed!
both are nice but too expensive.
Camerawork is too close
Very bad camera work, I did not understand what you are showing.

Les fauteuils sont au dessous du lit dans la position de nuit. OK je le ferai a nouveau quand j'aurai l'occasion.
Talking to much!!!!
dont be rude!!!!
poor camera
