New Hymer motorhome for 2.75 million kroner found to be assembled from spare parts
Original source: Motor.no

In Brief

A couple from Sunnmøre bought a 2023 Hymer motorhome in 2024 for 2.75 million kroner. Within weeks, multiple defects emerged, including engine issues. An independent inspection by Viking Kontroll found faults in 12 out of 13 main points.

The Rødli family from Norway purchased a 2023 Hymer motorhome from dealer Kroken Caravan in 2024 for 2.75 million kroner. Just four weeks after purchase, the motorhome entered service for the first time due to engine and transmission problems.

An independent technical inspection by Viking Kontroll revealed defects in 12 out of 13 main points, including porous metal in the engine block. The court established that the motorhome had previously been used as a parts donor, which the dealer did not disclose to the buyers. According to Motor, the motorhome may have been assembled from spare parts and sold as new.

The buyers filed a lawsuit to cancel the deal but lost in the first-instance court, which ruled that the dealer should be given the opportunity to fix the defects. Later, the parties reached a settlement, and the motorhome was returned to the dealer.

A couple from the Bergen area rented out their 16-year-old motorhome for a week and a half. The tenant complained about several issues, most of which were unfounded, except for a gas system fault that the owners repaired. After the rental period ended, the tenant refused to return the keys and registration documents, keeping the motorhome, and demanded a full refund of the rental fee and deposit. Police helped retrieve the motorhome, and the court dismissed the tenant's claims, ordering only a partial return of 1,500 NOK from the deposit.

A motorhome ran off the road and overturned on its side on Storfjordvegen, near the intersection with Bygdevegen. According to operations leader Espen Andrésen, there are traffic difficulties at the scene, as heavy transport cannot pass the motorhome blocking part of the road. Smaller vehicles can pass. A tow truck is on the way, and a police patrol is directing traffic in the meantime. No injuries are apparent, and there is no suspicion of intoxication, Andrésen said.
