Hi folks, I wonder if members would be able to help me out I am unfortunately having to sell my Motorhome and wanted a bit of advice as to how much you thought I would be able to sell it for.
I have owned it for almost 3 years.
I paid £65000 and I have added over £5000 pounds of upgrades.
It is a Hymer ML i 580. It’s an A class Motorhome built on the Mercedes sprinter chassis. It has the Mercedes 2.2 L diesel engine with an automatic six speed gearbox.
It has now covered just over 29,200 miles.
It is a four berth. With four seatbelt seats.
This is a left-hand drive model so great for travelling through Europe it has up rated air suspension, (4200KG )which gives it a huge payload.
Under 7metres long (ferry companies class it as a Small MH)
It has a rear garage with a motorcycle ramp. It easily takes My Honda 125 scooter.
It has two single beds at the rear over the garage and a double motorised drop-down bed in the cab area.
It has a gas fired Truma combination boiler supplying hot water and warm air heating.
It has a three ring gas hob and a full height Thetford three-way fridge with a freezer section. There is a separate shower, basin and bench toilet with electric flush and large Cassette.
It has 110 L freshwater tank and 100 L grey water tank.
It has a two tank Gaslow LPG system with external refillable connector.
On the roof there are three large solar panels given a total of 750 W output into two Victron MPPT controllers which feed a 300ah Fogstar drift lithium battery. There is a Victron multiplus 1600W inverter supplying the 240 V Sockets in the MH there is a Victron XS B2B battery charger which adds about 50a to The battery while driving.
I fitted a Netgear Nighthawk router to give Wi-Fi inside the Motorhome
It has twin reversing cameras and a dash cam .
I have fitted a blink outdoor security system with three cameras.
It has a scorpion tracker system and a Sigma alarm.
It has a Tyre pal tyre pressure monitoring system.
On the outside. There is a full length Thule Omnistore awning which comes with three detachable side panels and aluminium supports to create an outside room.
External gas barbecue point.
A fiamma rear mounted bike rack for two bikes.

It had the major Mercedes service June last year (over £650).

The MOT is due on 5th July…So I will get it renewed after the 6th June so it will come with over 12 months MOT.

I would be really grateful for any feedback on price and best way to sell.

Thanks in advance. Ray

lovely van do you use hymer owners group on facebook because they have a sister page hymer’s for sale all free and people who already know the brand, eg there are presently two 2015 models for sale one 580 low profile for £46000 and a beautiful 704 premium line for £63000

As we are friends, I will save you all the bother of having to sell it, and I will take it off your hands. I will come and collect it to save you the hassle. I will even throw a couple of bottles of wine into the deal.
 
I will go 4 bottles of wine and help you drink them just to be sure to be sure.
Good luck selling and hope you get a fair price.
 
As has been suggested, have a look on the Hymer owners group sister page, aside from that it is just a slog through the web to see what is available that kind of fits your model.
The old take it to a dealer for valuation at least gives you a jumping off point.
I have a 2016 B598 premium line with 57,000 miles on. According to the website howmanyleft.co.uk there are only 3 of my model in the UK, so definitely difficult to price.

Search results for 'Hymer B mli580' - How Many Left?

Search results for 'Hymer B mli580'. See how many cars of any make and model are left on Britain's roads.

I have owned mine from new and so over a period of years I have built up a feeling of value from this site,


However only one much older model of your variant is currently listed. You need to monitor it over time, which I don't think you have available.

Surprisingly my Fiat based van with solar, 2 gasit and awning as extras show mine at around €65,000 which ties in with long term checking. Anyway, hope these links help a little.

Can't advise but just so sorry you're having to sell your lovely van, I'm guessing you won't be replacing her. Good luck and thanks for the memories
 
I Have now been told by a couple of dealers in the MH trade that the retail price for my MH is £55000.
so on that Basis I am going to advertise it for £49999. as a private sale
So if any members know of anyone who might be interested Please message me.
Thanks Ray.
