Used Caravan of the Week: Hymer Nova 530K

by Holly Tribe

Our Used Caravan of the Week feature gives us an excuse to scan the classifieds and daydream about which caravans we’d add to our dream fleet if money were no object. This week we take a look at this reasonably priced family ‘van from Hymer. Being of European provenance, Hymer Caravans have wider dimensions than their British equivalents. This often affords greater scope when it comes to designing floorplans, and the Hymer Nova 530K is no exception.

The 530K has the main living area towards the rear with a U-shaped shaped seating configuration seldom seen in British made vans. The central table can be removed to convert the settees into an enormous double bed.

Up front, a side dinette is located next to two fixed double bunks, each with its own window. The beds are a generous 6 feet 6 inches in length making this a great option for families with growing teens.

It’s well catered for in the storage department with overhead lockers running the perimeter of the living area and a large storage space under the bunks has an external hatch for easy access when you’re outside.

Another nifty design feature enables the toilet cassette and the waste water from the kitchen to be accessed from outside, avoiding messy spills within the caravan.

The kitchen is neat and well proportioned and comes equipped with a fridge/ freezer and combination oven grill. The sleek exterior features high gloss GRP, with striking grey gas locker and sidewalls and white front and back ends.

History:
The van was first registered in 2007 with one previous owner. A small indentation on the work surface by the sink and a small crack on the rear bumper are noted in the listing. All documents can be provided since new.

Kit & Caboodle:
The kitchen comes equipped with a 93 litre capacity fridge, an oven with 3 gas burning hobs. Heating is provided by a Truma branded heater which can run on gas or electric and it also has a 45litre on-board water tank. The sellers are offering the van with a host of extras including a Powertouch motor mover, full Sunncamp awning with a grass friendly groundsheet and curtains, refill water container and pump.
