Re: Gas Bottles for Bimobil Husky?

Thanks a lot - I guess I'll end up doing the same then - super frustrating though! Would be such an easy fix if they changed the compartment by a couple of centimetres. And Bimobil pretending the problem doesn't exist...
Anyway - small problems to have I guess!

Gas Bottles for Bimobil Husky?

We just bought a new Husky 230 from Bimobil and spent 10 days on empty beaches in Brittany in January, which was amazing - until we ran out of gas and realised that french gas bottles don't fit into the compartment and we couldn't get our German bottles refilled anywhere. Back in the UK now and here...

Re: Bimobil Import??

Thanks for the advice with the hinges @horacebat! Did you manage to find a solution for yours? I actually did it - picked up the Ranger in November and then the cabin in December - super excited! We even managed to spend Christmas in Germany with it and tour some empty beaches in Normandy on the way...

Re: Insurance & where to get it

I never thought getting cover would be such an issue. I'm getting an ex-demo Ford Ranger Bimobil from Germany - for now I'm just driving the truck over with the pickup bed and wanted to get it registered here before getting the cabin. I tried about 6 insurers so far (Camptons, Adrian Flux and a few ...

However I am trying to find out what options and recommendations there for adding an additional suspension package on top of the air suspension upgrade to 3.5t. I am very close to getting a Ford Ranger Bimobil and would like to g...

Re: Bimobil Import??

Thanks for your toughts Horacebat - that's really good to know! Sorry for the delay in replying - I just spent some time in Germany and also visited the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf to have a look at both, Bimobil and Burow. They are both really amazing vehicles, but I'm leaning a little bit towards ...

Re: Bimobil Import??

That will involve DVLA most likely, you might speak to an advisor there and ask for 'case studies' Dpt they always appeared the less dopy there, failing that, there are a couple of outfits nationally who for a price will take your vehicle & logbook, liase with DVLA and raise your GVW (or whatever i...

Oh god - that's an epic thread... Some good insights to be gained from it - alas, no conclusion :lol:

Re: Bimobil Import??

Hey Zildjian, thanks so much for the super quick reply:-) Those are all the type of answers I was hoping for;-) And then I should probably just register the uprated gross weight for the Ranger? Basically I want to make sure that I'm not gonna void my insurance... How much of an issue is the emission...
