Hymer launches ultra compact motorhome
Hymer has reintroduced the legendary 'Van' for 2016. Brought to the marketplace by Hymer in 2006, the Van was unique for being high-quality but compact and competitively priced – the model for 2016 is no different and goes a stage further by offering the first ever low-profile motorhome to measure 5.45m!
Based on Fiat chassis, there is an Al-Ko lightweight frame which gives the Hymer Van a shorter wheelbase of 3,150 mm. This reduces the length of the vehicle as well as the turning circle, for the first time (in this class of low profile motorhome) keeping the mass in running order under 2.5 tons.
It features efficient storage, such as an underfloor storage compartment or the drawers under the seating group as well as the garage which is accessible via flaps attached on both sides, from the interior or from the optionally attached rear flap. The rear transverse bed can be folded upwards and offers easy access to the wardrobe underneath. The compact kitchen is equipped with numerous drawers and a worktop extension.
The interior of the Hymer Van is completed by the premium bathroom with the elegant Cool Glass folding washbasin.
Hymer has also used the patented PUAL body, which not only ensures stability but also increases thermal insulation. This means that the motorhome can be used for extensive camping adventures all year round, and its compact nature and easy maneuverability means it can be used for city trips without any problems.
Features include:
Price: from £42,250 (OTR)
Base vehicle: Fiat Ducato Al-Ko 130bhp
Layout: Transverse double bed
Berths: 2 (optional 3)
Travel seats: 2 (optional 4)
Gross weight: 3,500kg (optional 3,850kg)
Payload: 1,005kg (optional 1,355kg)
