In this exceptional situation, our top priority is the health and well-being of our employees, trade partners and, of course, our customers, for whom we will continue to use all the means at our disposal to assist. Naturally, we have already taken comprehensive precautions in the course of the first public reports, which we have continuously adapted.

The health of our employees, customers and trading partners is our top priority. The requirements that will continue to be imposed by the coronavirus pandemic in the coming months will make a relaxed atmosphere and in-depth conversations between people impossible. This will also have an impact on the high standards that HYMER has always placed on the advice and services provided by our company. That’s why HYMER will be cancelling trade fairs and major events until further notice. Of course we will continue offering our customers a reliable service and a product experience that is as emotional as it is informative in a safe environment thanks to our strong network of dealers and our wide-reaching digital services and platforms.

If you have a B-Class driving licence from 1999 onwards, you are allowed to drive vehicles with a technically permissible maximum laden mass of 3.5 t. Most HYMER motorhomes fulfil this condition.
