Following on from my previous post about the Hymer outside temperature showing —°C, after extensive research on the internet and various forums the problem has been fixed. The problem was the external temperature sensor, the sensor had failed, that problem was not really difficult to diagnose. The bigger problem was finding the location of the
Our Hymer B544 PL, which is built on a Fiat Ducato chassis, has had a strange problem recently, the external temperature shown on the instrument panel has been erratic. Erratic in the sense that the temperature shown was 86°C, that tells you something is not right. I suspect the external temperature sensor. When I collected
Finally found the problem with the Thetford fridge freezer in out Hymer motorhome – a ‘hidden’ fuse that is VERY difficult to access. In all I spent almost 3 days reading about motorhome fridges, watching videos and reading detailed information to fix this problem. Here’s a photo of the actual fuse that was causing the
Hymer motorhome Thetford fridge N3142 not working on 12v. Last time we were out in our Hymer I noticed that when the engine was running the Thetford fridge freezer was not running off the 12 volts from the engine. The fridge freezer can work off gas, mains electricity or 12 volts; it will only work

We are drinking the wine that we purchased and looking at photos, adding pages to the website and planning what to do next. Looking ahead to warmer weather there are some long
Another memorable motorhome tour through the northern part of France; our intention was to cross to France via Le Shuttle then make a fast journey to the Languedoc area to view Roman sites in France, then wine tasting and purchase of red wines, over the border into Spain with a call in Andorra, heading back
Working on the web pages to show our route I thought it would be interesting to make a T-shirt of our route, so here it is. I don’t normally wear anything except plain T-shirts so no doubt I will have to endure a certain amount of comments from other members of the family. Not a
Another long trek around Europe, calling off at Colsterworth in the UK for an American Square Dance campout weekend with flyovers by a Lancaster and Hurricane aircraft, through the tunnel to Calais then to Lake Annecy via Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. On the way we sampled wines in the Alsace and filled our lockers with
I am sorry to report that our Reich water pump has failed AGAIN! To recap the story of our water problems . . . our Hymer B544 came equipped with a Reich Twin motor pump; that pump worked until August 2022, 6 years, so we had no real complaints about how long it worked. We
