Hymer Motorhomes - ovens too high?

[katetaylor1]

Is everyone in Germany six foot plus? What do people think about the Ovens in some of the Hymer Motorhomes set at the top of their TEC stack. Several people commented on how dangerous it would be to try and trake something out of an oven so high and the door is VERY stiff and hard to open.
I went to the NEC this week very interested in a Hymer but came away disappointed as they only had a few models with ovens and they were at or above shoulder height. Apart from that the build quality was very good but an oven in the clouds or no oven does not impress.
Come on Hymer UK speak to the Germans, they can put ovens in the Budget Carado's so why not the Hymers, all the same manufacturer!

Carado Motor homes are made in the plany at Capron GmbH in Neustadt, near Dresden which also produces the Sunlight range. They are not badge engineered Hymers which are made in Bad Waldsee
Hymer Group also has manufacturing plants elsewhere in Germany and Italy, to serve their range of individual Brands ie
TEC
Burstner
Laika
Neisman+Bischoff
Eriba

Hi, This is interesting. I'd definitely struggle if the oven was that high...

Back to the 1.88m problem

, The oven placing is a problem common to all Continental motorhomes fitted with the 170l frige/freezer and 'tech tower'
With our differing motor home needs it is rare that an oven /grill will figure highly in our 'must haves' We tend to eat out or out of doors a lot more The larger Frige/freezer is much more of a USP so that we can keep lots of beer etc cold.
I suppose you could specify or research a model with a smaller Frige and have the oven in lieu of the freezer?
