    New amazing Hymer Camper!

    Apparently pricing is Euro 220,000. Almost at par with the US$. This means that the Revel is roughly the same pricing. Now let that sink in and realize how much you get ripped off by the RV industry in North America...

    The roof is load baering and can easily handle a A/C unit. Although, I could see running into space issues if you also like lots of Solar and skylights. Cheers,

    Composite Door Jamb Material (Now Custom Entry Door)

    the warping comes from the temperature differences ( inside of camper-outside temps). I can’t give away our secret sauce but you need something in the door to stiffen it up.
