Dear
Motorhome Owner,
For us, the term “living room on wheels” is not just an empty
phrase. HYMER motorhomes deliver exactly what our customers
expect from us: excellent quality, a high level of comfort, superior
furnishings and optimal safety − and it all comes as standard! After
all, we want you to enjoy all the comforts you have at home when
you’re on holiday too. That’s why – all rational considerations aside
– buying the right motorhome is always an emotional decision too,
based on your gut feeling. Erwin Hymer was well aware of this when
he launched the first series-produced motorhome in 1971.
And it’s still true today! Across all classes, from the compact
semi-integrated to the premium integrated models, HYMER does
its utmost not just to satisfy its customers’ wishes and expectations,
but to surpass them. As a pioneer in this sector, this is part of our
self-image and a debt we owe to the brand’s long tradition. Why
not see for yourself and discover the advantages of our wide range
of models. This brochure will help you do just that.

grey water tank emptying system is also very
practical.

a 15-litre freezer compartment, and is fitted
as standard.
Luxuriously equipped with a sink and draining
board in superior solid-surface material, pullout shelf for kitchen appliances and window

corner kitchen design with six drawers and additional kitchen shelf.

group typify the exclusive interior.

Smart driving and travel aids plus comprehensive safety equipment provide the basis for an
enjoyable, trouble-free holiday trip. With the new HYMER PremiumLine, you know you’re
in good hands.
Tailor-made undercarriage
Multi-purpose double floor
Spiral spring for front axle
Optimal leak-tightness
Lasting protection from below
Handy multi-taskers
The specially developed AL-KO lightweight
frame with independent suspension forms the
perfect basis for the motorhome body. Its optimally positioned wheelbase ensures equal
weight distribution, even when the vehicle is
fully loaded.
Underfloor heating, a frost-protected service
cavity and an additional heated storage compartment are all-inclusive thanks to the proven,
12.5 cm thick multi-purpose double floor with
hot-air nozzles between the upper floor surface
(3 cm) and underfloor (3.5 cm).
In vehicles with a high front axle load, the front
axle springs are often overloaded, which can
cause the vehicle to sink. With Goldschmittspiral springs for the front axle, the vehicle
front is propped up while increasing the axle
load.
The vehicle roof is made from robust aluminium and has no longitudinal seams for water to
penetrate through from above. The GRP coating provides additional weather and hail protection, preventing mechanical damage to the
roof surface.
The indestructible GRP underbody makes the
vehicles practically immune to weather damage. Stone damage, grit and dirt are likewise
kept at bay – a solid foundation for the entire
service life of your motorhome.
The height and angle-adjustable swivel lounge
seats in the cab are fully upholstered in the
same fabric as the living area. The high seating comfort of the Aguti Ergoflex pilot seats
is ideal for settling down to watch TV and for
relaxed driving.
Optimal loading convenience
Easy access
Great view, no thermal bridges
Economical endurance runner
Pleasant climate
Comfort cruise control
The HYMER PremiumLine has two large garage
doors on the left and right. The garage doors
are equipped with high-quality gas pressure
springs which hold the doors open reliably for
loading and unloading.
The average motorhome door is 55 cm wide.
The HYMER PremiumLine door, by contrast, is
a full 70 cm wide. This extra width, together
with the step, makes it much easier to enter
and exit the vehicle.
The high-quality Seitz S7 framed windows are
equipped with double acrylic glazing for optimal thermal insulation. The powder-coated aluminium frame is lightweight and sturdy and
has an insulating layer to protect against thermal bridging. Also included are Remiflair interior roller blinds.
The 96 kW / 130 hp Fiat Multijet II engine is the
epitome of sustained economical driving pleasure thanks to its low average consumption. The
nippy and robust 4-cylinder turbo-diesel engine complies with the Euro 5+ and EEV exhaust
emissions standards.
The automatic front AC unit with pollen filter
in the central console of the dashboard ensures
a pleasant temperature while driving. It can be
switched on both automatically and manually.
Comfortable and safe at a steady, controlled
speed – courtesy of the onboard cruise control system.
