Hymer motorhomes - 2023 Essential Guide

About Hymer

Hymer is a German motorhome brand that has been represented in the UK longer than any of its compatriots. Famous for its B-Class models (which, confusingly, are usually A-class, or fully integrated, motorhomes), the latest range includes three categories of models (as well as a separate campervan range, which used to be known as HymerCar).

The Comfort Plus Class models are Exsis-t and Exsis-i, plus the Mercedes-based T-Class S low-profiles. Next up is the Superior Class of ML-T (rear-wheel drive Merc low-profiles) and B-Class ModernComfort (B-MC, for short). Then, at the top of the tree, are the Luxury Class motorhomes – B-Class SupremeLine (B-SL) and the latest addition, the MasterLine (B-ML). There's the new Venture S campervan coachbuilt hybrid, too.

Hymer is just one marque within the huge Erwin Hymer Group, which in turn is now owned by the USA’s Thor Industries.

The vehicle’s main sleeping area is at the rear. Whether you choose the twin or island bed option, the beds are designed for comfort, at more than 2m long. On the 790 model, the double bed can be height-adjusted to create more storage in the garage below or allow easier access to the bed once on site.

The washroom boasts a chic design that would not look out of place in a luxury hotel, featuring a stylish washbasin, separate shower cubicle with real glass doors and plenty of storage space.

Further forward, the kitchen features a three-burner stove, a large work surface and cleverly designed larder drawers. The spacious 153-litre fridge has a double hinge door, which allows you to open it from either side. In the L-shaped living area, the Duo-Core seating upholstery uses two different types of foam and provides comfort whether driving, dining or simply chilling out.

As you might expect, there are numerous driver assistance systems providing reassuring levels of safety and perfect handling for a stress-free journey. The panoramic windscreen gives the motorhome a stylish appearance, but the design also ensures great visibility from the front seats, both of the road and your surroundings.

The special edition four-berth campervan is based on the 3,500kg 5.93m-long Sprinter. In addition to the fold-up double in the rear, the black pop-top roof houses a maxi double bed equipped with Hymer’s Sleeping Comfort system.

Downstairs, the layout includes a rear lounge, featuring an Infinity Screen which surrounds all three sides of the seating area and offers incredible views while flooding the interior with daylight. In fine weather, the open tailgate of the Venture S has a yacht-style sun deck with 350kg load capacity.

The washroom can be quickly transformed into an even larger washroom with a shower flush with the floor. For working on the move, the Venture S has a desk integrated into the side wall that can be set up as a work station in seconds.
