Camping is clearly in vogue and has undergone a fundamental change in image in recent years: young people and newcomers to camping are also becoming increasingly enthusiastic about this way of travelling.

At this year's Caravan Salon Duesseldorf, Hymer GmbH & Co. KG will be presenting its new products and bringing its successful Vision Venture concept car to the road.

When the Hymer Vision Venture concept car was unveiled at the Caravan Salon 2019, the traditional motorhome manufacturer from Bad Waldsee presented a bold response to current and future trends in the industry and revealed how motorhomes might look in 2025. That vision is now becoming reality as Hymer celebrates the market launch of the new Venture S.

The Eriba brand has been synonymous with quality and functionality and shaping the world of travel with its innovative caravans since 1957. When it comes to design, aerodynamics and driving comfort, the Eriba Touring has been setting new standards ever since the construction of the original “Troll”. The cult caravan is the brand’s only model that has remained in continuous production for 65 years, and its distinctiveness makes it the company’s most successful model range.

With the Hymer Free S Blue Evolution, the traditional company based in Bad Waldsee has once again managed to combine its premium standards with the adventurous character of a camper van.

The Eriba Feeling and Nova Light models now feature new 515 layouts. The two family-friendly caravans guarantee the level of comfort you would expect from Eriba and feel like a home from home.

Following roughly two years of construction work, the time has come. Hymer is opening the newly built Super Light Chassis (SLC) production hall at its Bad Waldsee site, making it the first bodywork manufacturer to start mass-producing its very own chassis. As a result, the company will not only represent virtually every crucial part of the value creation chain, but the centralised production will also enable it to respond even more flexibly to the current market situation and the needs of its customers in future.

The Eriba brand has been synonymous with quality and functionality and shaping the world of travel with innovative caravans since 1957. When it comes to design, aerodynamics and ride comfort, the Eriba Touring has been setting new standards ever since the construction of the original “Troll”. The cult caravan is the brand’s only model that has remained in continuous production for 65 years – its distinctiveness makes it the company’s most successful model range.

Camping has become a fashionable topic in recent years, with a growing appeal to a younger target group. To take account of this development – and to present Eriba as an open and modern brand in an industry that was previously perceived as rather traditional – the Munich-based “Hirschfänger” agency began revamping the caravan manufacturer’s brand message in 2020. This transformation has now been systematically continued via the relaunch of the company’s website.

Hymer GmbH & Co. KG is delighted to present its new products for the upcoming 2022 model year from the Hymer Motor Caravans, Eriba Caravans and Hymer Original Parts divisions.

With the semi-integrated T-Class S, Hymer GmbH & Co. KG has redefined the standards for those starting out in the world of motorhoming on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis.

The Erwin Hymer Group and thus also Hymer GmbH & Co. KG with its HYMER and ERIBA brands is increasing its emphasis on new digital and live formats in place of appearances at traditional trade fairs. For the two key shows in particular - Caravan Salon Düsseldorf and CMT Stuttgart - this means the whole Erwin Hymer Group will aim for representation there every two years from now on.

For many years, Hymer GmbH & Co. KG has relied on an optional four-wheel drive system to make driving off-road in its vehicles an exhilarating experience. The long-established manufacturer is now offering two of its popular leisure vehicles as “CrossOver” edition models to keep up with the growing demand from customers. As a result, the semi-integrated Hymer ML-T 570 and the Hymer Grand Canyon S camper van on a Mercedes-Benz chassis are getting an off-road upgrade featuring a high-traction four-wheel drive system as standard. An extremely comprehensive standard equipment package including a solar installation help to increase self-sufficiency to up to 10 days. Several visual highlights, such as the all-terrain tyres, further emphasise the striking look of the vehicle. Combined with the customary level of Hymer comfort, the “CrossOver” editions of the Hymer ML-T 570 and Grand Canyon S ensure a truly magical travel experience – even when off-roading and far away from luxurious camping grounds.

Hymer GmbH & Co. KG is taking a huge leap forwards in terms of networking within the motorhome industry. With a new, smart ecosystem, the premium manufacturer from Bad Waldsee is combining the controls for numerous vehicle components as well as the display of vehicle information in one single digital platform. The Hymer Connect App in conjunction with a central control unit inside the vehicle is currently the first connectivity solution of its kind for the connected motorhome. It will be available as standard in all Hymer B-Class MasterLine models from the 2022 model year onwards and, from February 2021 onwards, it can be retrofitted in selected B-ML models from the 2020 model year onwards as well. Complementary connected components and smart features for the app will follow.

Hymer GmbH & Co. KG has taken the decision to cancel trade fairs and major events until further notice. In the view of the long-standing company, the current infection rate and the health risks associated do not allow for participation. However, to ensure that the company is still able to engage with its customers in a meaningful yet safe manner, Hymer is relying on digital solutions, such as new and innovative forms of online presentation in conjunction with expert advice provided on site at the dealerships. Both of these initiatives have proven to be extremely successful in recent months.

Markus Dorner became the Commercial Director of Hymer GmbH & Co. KG at the beginning of the month. In this role, he is responsible for the Finance & Accounting, Controlling, IT and HR departments. Together with the President Christian Bauer (Sales) and Hans-Georg Rauh (Technology), he will be steering the business activities of the long-standing company based in Bad Waldsee. Markus Dorner already has 15 years of experience working within the Erwin Hymer Group – his most recent post was Commercial Director in the Entry Segment (Capron, Carado and Sunlight).

Hymer impressed everyone with its models once again this year, right across the board: in the readers’ polls conducted by the two trade magazines “AutoZeitung” and “AUTO BILD Reisemobil”, the motorhome manufacturer from Bad Waldsee came out on top more than once with the B-Class ModernComfort and the new tandem-axle B-Class MasterLine I 880. The E-Scooter from Hymer Original Parts was also a winner. Beyond the readers’ polls, the Eriba Nova 545 wowed the jury in the “Excellent Product Design” category of the German Design Award 2021.

Hymer is adding yet another edition model to its range of camper vans, the Free 540 "Blue Evolution", in response to the huge success of the last "Blue Evolution" model. With its sporty and modern bicolour design in Storm Blue Metallic and black pop-top roof, the limited edition camper van on a Fiat chassis is not only eye-catching, it also boasts a range of features that meet the latest market requirements with the new Fiat multimedia system including a 7-inch navigation device and the integrated ISOFIX child seat mount.

The Eriba Nova 590 in the two model lines "Trend" and "Ambience" is now available in retail. As part of the popular Nova series it is characterised by an innovative CLIMADUR body shell design with outstanding insulation values as well as the Nova characteristic curves. Layout 590 also offers plenty of storage space, a large kitchen unit, a spacious rear bathroom with convenient separate shower and a comfortable seating area.

In April 2019, Hymer GmbH & Co. KG presented its flagship B-Class MasterLine to the public for the first time, setting new standards in the premium segment in the process. Now available in four different layouts – including two tandem axle vehicles – the integrated motorhomes boast a state-of-the-art body shell design, exclusive design features, premium interior furnishings and a particularly generous feeling of space. To satisfy the market demand and the needs of its customers, the long-established vehicle manufacturer based in Upper Swabia is now introducing a semi-integrated version of its MasterLine for the first time

Hymer GmbH & Co.KG presents its new products for the coming model year 2021 from the business divisions Hymer motorhomes and camper vans as well as Eriba caravans.

The winners of this year’s German Innovation Award have been announced and Hymer is delighted to be taking home not one, but two awards. Both the Hymer VisionVenture concept vehicle and the B-Class MasterLine I 880 have been selected as winners by the jury in the “Excellence in Business to Consumer – Transportation” category. Every year, the prestigious accolade honours highly innovative new products as well as solutions and services with outstanding added value for users.

Even after the announced postponement of Caravan Salon 2020 in Düsseldorf, Hymer GmbH & Co. KG has taken the decision to cancel its participation at the world’s largest caravanning trade fair this year. Aside from Caravan Salon, this decision also affects all the other large events being held throughout the rest of Europe this year. The health risks associated with the coronavirus pandemic have fundamentally changed the conditions for participation in events this year.

Hymer GmbH & Co. KG is delighted to have won its very first award in the Automotive Brand Contest held by the German Design Council – and not just any award, but the highest accolade of “Best of Best”. The Hymer VisionVenture concept vehicle impressed the jury in the “Concepts” category with its outstanding product design, and this is already the second award that it has won this year following the European Innovation Award. Where brand communication and design is concerned, the Automotive Brand Contest is one of the most important competitions in the industry.

Hans-Georg Rauh became the Technical Director (Vice President of Operations) of Hymer GmbH & Co. KG at the beginning of the month. In this role, in future he will be responsible for the Development and Design, Quality and Supply Chain Management, as well as the Production and Human Resources departments. In close collaboration with Christian Bauer and Jörg Mayer, he will coordinate the business activities of the premium manufacturer of leisure vehicles at the Bad Waldsee site. Hans-Georg Rauh is taking on the role from Jochen Hein, who is now the Technical Director of the newly established THOR subsidiary “Hymer USA”. Just like his predecessor, Hans-Georg Rauh will report to Jan Francke, COO of the Erwin Hymer Group.

Hymer GmbH & Co. KG has been known as a pioneer in the motorhome and caravanning industry for more than 60 years. The company, based in Upper Swabia, is now preparing for the challenges it will face in future by developing comprehensive plans for the structure of its factories. By building its very own chassis production hall in Bad Waldsee, the company will not only represent virtually every part of the value creation chain, but the centralised production will also enable it to respond more flexibly to the current market situation and the needs of its customers in future. The hall is due to be completed in summer 2020, and series production is planned to start in 2021. In addition to the new production facility, there are also plans for the assembly of motorhomes, camper vans and the ERIBA Touring to be consolidated, which will help Hymer to further synchronise and standardise its processes, as well as further consolidate its warehouses and factories. By taking these steps, Hymer is making a clear commitment to its base in Bad Waldsee as well as its “Made in Germany” seal of quality.

Hymer GmbH & Co. KG is continuing its collaboration with Mercedes-Benz in the semi-integrated motorhome sector. The Hymer T-Class S provides the perfect introduction to the world of motorhoming on a whole new level: the bodywork of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with front-wheel drive and original frame has a marked impact on payload reserves and the headroom within the vehicle, while numerous driver assistance systems are also included on board. The most impressive features of the new 680 layout of the Hymer T-Class S include its two generous twin beds, the spacious en-suite bathroom that can be partitioned off from the living area, and the optional fold-down bed above the L-shaped seating area, which is also an optional extra.

Last year, Hymer GmbH & Co. KG set new standards in the premium segment with the Hymermobil B-Class MasterLine, an integrated vehicle combining state-of-the-art body shell design and high-quality equipment with unique design highlights in the three layouts 780, 790 and 880. With the B-ML I 890, the company has come up with a fourth layout for its flagship model range: measuring an impressive 8.99 metres long by 2.35 metres wide, the B-ML I 890 is the second tandem-axle vehicle on an SLC chassis made by Hymer. The size of the vehicle gives it a whole new feeling of space without compromising on driving comfort, which is guaranteed by the stabilising action of the tandem axle.

3D-printing, infrared-reflective paint, roof and rear patio with BBQ and pneumatic pop-top roof: developed in collaboration with BASF, the Mercedes-Benz-based concept vehicle VisionVenture breaks new ground in terms of design, self-sufficiency and lightweight construction. The concept car offers a foretaste of what modern travel could be like in 2025. It combines the pioneering spirit and innovation of Hymer with more than 20 innovative materials from BASF in order to offer a forward-looking response to current and future industry trends.

This year has already seen Hymer GmbH & Co. KG set new standards in the premium segment with layouts 780 and 790 of the Hymermobil B-Class MasterLine, an integrated vehicle combining state-of-the-art body shell design and high-quality equipment with unique design highlights. With the B-ML 880, the company has come up with a unique new layout: measuring an impressive 8.89 metres long by 2.35 metres wide, it is the first tandem-axle vehicle on an SLC chassis from the house of Hymer. The size of the vehicle gives it a whole new feeling of space without compromising on driving comfort, which is guaranteed by the stabilising action of the tandem axle.

With the Exsis 580 “Pure”, Hymer customers can look forward to a new edition model of this popular range. Built on a Citroën chassis, the special edition offers a comprehensive equipment package that leaves nothing to be desired in terms of driving and living comfort. The model is available now in an integrated or semi-integrated version, and features a modern, linear interior design with a generous feeling of space.

As part of this year's Caravan Salon Duesseldorf, Hymer GmbH & Co. KG will be presenting its new products and also provide exciting insights into the near future of mobile travelling.

Two comfortable twin beds – each over 2 meters in length – provide maximum comfort in the sleeping area. As an option, the vehicle can be complemented with a power-operated fold-down bed with a headroom of 1.90 metres.

For Caravan Salon 2019, Hymer GmbH & Co. KG is adding a special model to its popular Free camper van model range. The Hymer Free 600 “Campus” on a Fiat chassis boasts a sporty bicolour paint finish and features numerous other equipment highlights.

For even more flexible mobility when you reach your destination, Hymer Original Parts offers the Hymer E-Bike by FLYER and the Hymer E-Scooter. With its 500 Wh battery and 3rd generation Bosch motor, the E-Bike is a powerful piece of kit. The components are elegantly and discreetly integrated in the white frame of the E-Bike.

Streamlined, agile and comfortable: Hymer GmbH & Co. KG presents the latest generation of the popular Exsis model range at the Annual Press Conference in Bad Waldsee. To start with, the new integrated and semi-integrated models of the Exsis will be available in the 580 layout. The new generation is built on the Fiat original frame, which provides the per-fect basis in terms of driving comfort.

Hymer GmbH & Co. KG is continuing its collaboration with Mercedes-Benz in the semi-integrated motorhome sector as well. The Hymer Tramp S provides the perfect introduction to the world of motorhoming on a whole new level: the bodywork of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with front-wheel drive and original frame has a marked impact on payload reserves.

In the run-up to Caravan Salon 2019, Hymer GmbH & Co. KG is presenting at their annual press conference the latest Hymer Motor Caravans and Camper Vans, Eriba Caravans and the latest accessories.

Hymer GmbH & Co. KG is presenting the sporty Free model range of camper vans on a new chassis at the 2019 Annual Press Conference. For the first time, the Hymer Free S 600 will be built on the latest Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis with front-wheel drive, meaning that it will offer a particularly high level of driving comfort and traction. Thanks to its modern interior design, the panel van ensures that your travel adventures will not have to compromise on the exclusive charm of Hymer.

Hymer GmbH & Co. KG presented the DuoCar prototype to the public for the very first time at Caravan Salon 2017. The former concept car, built on the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis, is now ready to go into production. Thanks to its generously designed layout, the camper van offers ample living space for two people and is ideally suited to all manner of holidays due to its compact dimensions – from city breaks to adventure holidays. From the very beginning, the focus has been on the needs of the target group. Motorhome enthusiasts were able to voice their requests and suggestions in an online survey, which were taken into consideration during the vehicle design process.

The popular Premium model range from Eriba is being completely overhauled for the coming model year. In future, all layouts will be available in two new styles – the “Trend” and “Ambience” models. The caravans are characterised by their innovative CLIMADUR body shell design with outstanding insulation properties as well as their characteristic curves, and they also boast plenty of storage space and a comfortable seating area. All of the main functions can be easily controlled using the Eriba Smart-Home-System, which is integrated as standard.

The B-MC "WhiteLine" edition model built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis with front-wheel drive and exclusively developed chassis cowl and the tried-and-tested SLC chassis combines maximum safety and modernity with driving dynamics and comfort.

For almost 50 years, the Hymermobil has symbolised motorhomes in general as the embodiment of innovation and “Made in Germany” quality. Hymer GmbH & Co. KG has now taken its offerings in the premium segment to a new level with the Hymermobil B-Class MasterLine – an integrated motorhome that is truly in a class of its own. The combination of Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis cowl and HYMER’s award-winning and internally developed SLC chassis has resulted in a state-of-the-art design with a width of 2.35 metres and a generous headroom of 1.98 metres. The exterior of the new flagship from Bad Waldsee boasts a new design element that is also a unique distinguishing feature – the HYMER Iconic Signature. Together with an absolutely premium interior and a particularly generous sense of space, the Hymermobil B-Class MasterLine in the 780 and 790 layouts clearly stands out from the pack of integrated motorhomes up to 4.5 tonnes.

At the CMT in 2018, Hymer GmbH & Co. KG launched the HYMERCAR Free 600, a new camper van that’s perfect for newcomers to the world of motorhoming. Based on this vehicle, the company from Bad Waldsee will present the Blue Evolution special edition this year. The special edition models have a particularly sporty design and are jam-packed with features and equipment.

In 2019, Hymer GmbH & Co. KG will continue to collaborate closely with Mercedes-Benz Vans and will present two new layouts for the B-Class ModernComfort at the CMT tourism exhibition in Stuttgart. The premium motorhomes which combine a Sprinter chassis cowl with the SLC chassis – an industry first – are available with immediate effect in the 550 and 600 layouts as both integrated and semi-integrated models. They boast a clear and elegant design, a generous feeling of space, as well as ample storage space on board – and all of this in the 3.5 t class.

ERIBA presents the new flagship of the popular Touring model range: the Touring 820. The model boasts a unique design and a completely new feeling of space. Despite its length of around 8.50 metres, the new ERIBA Touring model still features the tried-and-tested steel cage design, which has provided the model range with its distinctive shape for over 60 years. ERIBA is taking another step towards the future with the ERIBA Smart Home control system, which is integrated as standard and can be operated using a digital control panel and app.

And now the Ocean Drive has won one of the Industry’s top awards – the UK’s best pop top caravan, according to the Caravan and Motorhome Club.

The new dual-lens reversing camera 2.0 from HYMER Original Parts & Accessories combines sophisticated camera technology and the third brake light in one housing, and also features a new design and improved functionality. Thanks to the high-resolution sensors, the two cameras don’t miss a thing, whether in the distance or right behind the vehicle – a clear bonus when it comes to safety.

Whether you’re taking a holiday off the beaten track or going on a camping trip in winter along snow-covered roads – motorhomes and camper vans with four-wheel drive are hugely popular. That’s why Hymer GmbH & Co. KG is presenting the new HYMERCAR Grand Canyon S and HYMER ML-T as off-road show cars at Caravan Salon 2018. The first models made by the leisure vehicle manufacturer from Bad Waldsee based on the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and featuring the optional drive system are available to order now.

It was only in May that Hymer GmbH & Co. KG presented the B-Class Modern-Comfort and the facelift for the HYMER ML-T on the new Mercedes-Benz Sprint-er chassis.

Each vehicle has a limited edition of 150 units and, after placing your order, they will be available from the autumn.

Hymer GmbH & Co. KG unveiled the latest result of its intensive collaboration with Mercedes-Benz Vans in May at the Annual Press Conference in Bad Waldsee: the integrated and semi-integrated versions of the Hymermobil B-Class ModernComfort in the 580 and 680 layouts. At the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, the new 690 layout is being launched for the premium motorhomes that combine the Sprinter chassis cowl with the SLC chassis, which is a first for the industry. This layout boasts an abundance of storage space on board and echoes the clean and elegant lines of the B-MC in both its interior and exterior design. A height-adjustable queen-size bed is also included as standard. In addition, one other highlight of the semi-integrated model is the optional fold-down bed, which ensures a headroom of 1.90 metres under the bed, despite a vehicle height of under three metres.

In the past, the Family special models of the ERIBA Exciting have already provided many families with fond memories of their holidays, which will last them a lifetime. With a comprehensive equipment package for both the 505 and 560 layouts, the spacious caravan will continue to be the perfect companion for the whole family in future as well. The modern, redesigned interior of the vehicles is one particular highlight. What’s more, the design of the vehicles can now be customised in countless different ways, and they can even sleep up to nine people.

Early this year, Hymer GmbH & Co. KG presented its latest camper van model range HYMERCAR Free, available in the two layouts 540 and 600. In response to the high demand, the long-established manufacturer from Bad Waldsee, Germany, is now extending its product line with the HYMERCAR Free 602. Like its predecessors, the new model is notable for its intelligent use of space, compact dimensions.

Hymer GmbH & Co. KG is presenting the latest result of its intensive collaboration with Mercedes-Benz Vans: the Hymermobil B-Class ModernComfort.

Building on this, the motorhome manufacturer from Bad Waldsee in southern Germany is now launching a version of its popular HYMER ML-T and HYMERCAR Grand Canyon S models based on the new Mercedes-Benz-Sprinter. Both vehicles have been accordingly redesigned inside and out and enhanced with a wealth of equipment details.

Renowned German brands, Hymer and Eriba, are voted best in UK for Customer Satisfaction by owners of pre-owned leisure vehicles and scoop Gold Awards for new vehicles.

With eight podium finishes in the readers’ poll conducted by the trade magazines promobil and CARAVANING, Hymer GmbH & Co. KG has got the new year off to a flying start. The premium manufacturer has secured first place not once, but twice, with the Exsis-t and the ERIBA Touring. Hymer GmbH & Co. KG has also come out on top twice in the European Innovation Award: with the B-Class SupremeLine and its innovative SLC chassis in the Technology category, and with the HYMER DuoCar in the Overall Concept Van category. What’s more, the new B-Class SupremeLine has also received the Safety Award from the Deutscher Camping-Club (DCC). The award ceremonies are held every year at the CMT trade show in Stuttgart.

At the last Caravan Salon, HYMER presented a new model from the premium motorhome range in the form of the B-Class SupremeLine. The motorhome manufacturer from Bad Waldsee is presenting its latest flagship in the 674 layout at the 2018 Exhibition for Caravanning, Motoring and Tourism. With an overall length of under seven-and-a-half metres, the new body design offers a high degree of quality, flexibility and comfort.

At CMT 2018 in Stuttgart, the manufacturer of premium motorhomes and caravans from Bad Waldsee will be presenting a unique solution for supplying leisure vehicles with power. The system stores energy in both lithium and lead batteries, and their charge status is controlled in an intelligent way. As a result of this, motorhome enthusiasts will be able to take significantly longer self-sufficient trips in future.

The ERIBA Touring model range is starting the new year with two colourful special models at the 2018 Exhibition for Caravanning, Motoring and Tourism: the ERIBA Touring Troll cult caravan will gain the colourful models, Rockabilly and Ocean Drive. The colour scheme pervades both the exterior and interior of the two caravans and, together with the retro design, it is reviving the American way of life of the 1950s.

Hymer GmbH & Co. KG is presenting the HYMERCAR Sydney GT60 special model at the 2018 Exhibition for Caravan-ning, Motoring and Tourism.

At the 2018 Exhibition for Caravanning, Motoring and Tourism in Stuttgart, Hymer GmbH & Co. KG will be presenting the new HYMERCAR Free model range: a camper van that stands for freedom and independence, but also exclusivity.

Hymer GmbH & Co. KG will be presenting two layouts of the Hymermobil B-Class SupremeLine to the public for the very first time at the Caravan Salon 2017 in Düsseldorf. The long-established company has specially developed a new and one-of-a-kind SLC chassis for this vehicle featuring a high double floor. Thanks to its low dead weight, large payload reserves are guaranteed and the vehicle has a lower centre of gravity, resulting in excellent handling characteristics. As a result, HYMER has laid an important foundation for the chassis technology of the future.

The ERIBA Touring model range, the renowned and iconic caravan range from HYMER, will be getting a new layout at the end of the anniversary year. The caravan, which was already supplemented with a “60 Edition” at the beginning of the year, once laid the foundation for the huge success of the premium manufacturer from Bad Waldsee.

The market for motorhomes and caravans in Europe is booming: by 2025, a total sales volume of 200,000 units is expected. According to the findings of a recent, Europe-wide market survey carried out by Hymer GmbH & Co. KG and the Center of Automotive Management as part of the Erwin Hymer Group Research Programme, in addition to rising sales figures, turnover in the area of vehicle connectivity will triple from around 100 million euros at present to just under 300 million euros. A poll of motorhome enthusiasts and potential customers also revealed that there’s a considerable amount of interest in operating concepts and driver assistance systems, and people would accept one-off payments and monthly fees for such features.

With the new HYMERCAR Grand Canyon S model, HYMER is presenting the first pop-top roof for camper vans on this base vehicle. As a result, the company has a vehicle among its ranks that offers even more comfort and flexibility with two extra berths – despite its compact dimensions – and which can be used in even more versatile ways.

Hymer GmbH & Co. KG regularly demonstrates its spirit of innovation in the form of new products. That’s why the Swabian manufacturer of premium motorhomes and caravans will be presenting the HYMER DuoCar on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf. It’s the result of a comprehensive customer survey. The aim of the prototype was to develop a compact layout, which is perfect for holidays for two and offers plenty of living space at the same time.

HYMER is crowning the motorhome model range that’s enjoyed industry-wide success with a new generation of its B-Class: the Hymermobil B-Class SupremeLine combines the benefits of all its predecessors with all the experience from 60 years of building leisure vehicles. Hymer GmbH & Co. KG will be presenting the Hymermobil B-SL to the public for the very first time at the Caravan Salon 2017 in Düsseldorf. The long-established company has specially developed a new and one-of-a-kind SLC chassis for this vehicle featuring a high double floor. Thanks to its low dead weight, large payload reserves are guaranteed and the vehicle has a lower centre of gravity, resulting in excellent handling characteristics. The new, luxury-class Hymermobil also boasts outstanding credentials in terms of comfort, quality and design.
