1 Benchmark of mobile holidaying.

2 One brand, one promise Leading from the start. HYMER epitomises mobile holidaying. There is a good reason for this: Since the invention of the first motorhome by Erwin Hymer in 1961, the company, based in Bad Waldsee, has spurred on the development of motorhomes like no other. To this day, HYMER is passionate about this. Both the brand and every single Hymermobil stand for the highest level of quality and extraordinary value. After all, the Made in Germany tag sells itself. Comfort at the highest level. HYMER shines not just through the equipment. The way the interior is designed, the layout and decoration, also provides the greatest freedom of movement. Especially frugal, particularly good value retention. At HYMER, this is the result of combining price, performance, service, quality and efficiency. Maximum safety as standard. This is what distinguishes Hymermobil vehicles. Vehicle construction or electronic aids only the highest standards are good enough for HYMER. Setting new standards. Typical HYMER. For over 50 years, standards are being set for the development of the whole industry. Motorhomes of the future are already in preparation. The HYMER vehicle programme The new 2013 model series ranges from compact semi-integrated models to the premium integrated models of the B-Class.

3 We have a commitment towards HYMER s important past. In combination with motorhomes, we want people to always remember the original in future. Bernhard Kibler, Head of Division HYMER Motorhomes The first manufacturer, the most renowned brand, the most favoured motorhome model series for HYMER and the Hymermobil vehicles, many superlatives can be found. This also applies in the day-to-day activities of the company where no amount of work is too great to offer our customers the best at all times. Construction, comfort, safety, economy, innovative flair and product selection are just a few areas in which HYMER is consistently setting standards. We work every day on keeping it this way. Join us on a journey through the world of HYMER. HYMER world & HYMER service. Availability and proximity are our maxima not just as a service provider. But also as people who share a passion: HYMER.

4 Comfort at the highest level Better living. With a HYMER motorhome, the holiday starts as soon as you step inside. All of the details have been harmonised towards a common aim: to make you feel good without compromise. This holistic approach requires passion and a lot of experience. Both have been attributes of ours for over 50 years. And this is noticeable. More light, more space, more luxury. HYMER living spaces are characterised by their warm, inviting atmosphere. Equipped to a high standard, bright and airy, they create a comfortable home at any time of the day or year. The right type of bed. The beds form the perfect basis for a good and healthy night s sleep. Not only do they offer spacious dimensions and the highest level of comfort but they can also be reached very conveniently. Plenty of room for pleasure. First class fittings, a large and ergonomically laid out working area and a particularly generous amount of stowage space for provisions and cutlery make any culinary desires possible in the HYMER kitchen. Refreshingly spacious. Whether the flexible variable washroom, variable premium washroom or open washroom with separate shower: every one of the versions offers you remarkable freedom of movement. On the road with all the comforts of home. The stowage spaces in the HYMER motorhomes combine class and dimension in a unique way. From the huge garages to the exterior, interior and underfloor stowage compartments and roof storage cupboards every bit of space is utilised optimally.

5 Technology must serve us as humans and not the other way around. For every new or further development, the vehicle user s comfort is an absolute prerequisite for us. Hansi Wiest, Technical Development Interiors Holidaying with high demand has characterised HYMER and its customers for as long as we can remember. It will come as no surprise then that many higher class comfort features can be found even in the standard equipment of the vehicles. Not to mention the large selection of high quality extras. But comfort does not begin with a list of equipment. There are fundamental properties that determine whether one feels good in a motorhome or not, like the effect of space and the proportions, the freedom of movement and also the operating friendliness and functionality of the control elements. HYMER s class can be felt in every one of these aspects. From the open living area to the enclosed shower cubicle, from the high level of driving comfort to the interior temperature: Wherever you go and stand, there is no trace of restricted space. Every handle and every switch is located precisely where it is needed and makes operation intuitive. Doors and cupboards close flush and securely, the whole stowage area can be accessed and utilised comfortably. Perfectly distributed heat and lighting provide a real sense of comfort and make complete self-sufficiency possible. Experience this HYMER feeling once and you will never want to miss it again. The HYMER parts service has more than 350 different materials in stock even for models that are up to 15 years old.

6 Especially frugal, particularly good value retention More value for everyone. A motorhome is a long term investment. Economy and value retention, in particular, play an important role when making a purchase. Not only do HYMER motorhomes have the advantage of having especially low consumption and running costs but also exemplary value retention. Investing in mobile property from HYMER is one of the safest things that you can rely on these days.

7 Price Performance Service Optimal price-performance ratio. With a HYMER motorhome, this is the case in all vehicle categories and model series. After all, a value for money vehicle is a vehicle that is worth every penny. Standard equipment: Exemplary! HYMER motorhomes meet every practical requirement and, even with the standard equipment, offer a high level of basic comfort. Cuts in performance to make an attractive price is not a HYMER practice. First class and reliable service. This is especially important to HYMER. The international dealer and service network with qualified workshops throughout Europe is unparalleled. Value retention Efficiency Quality Always at a high level. How HYMER motorhomes hold their value is legendary. Even after many years, the high quality vehicles are still trusty travelling partners and their appreciation on the market is accordingly high. Cost advantage in consumption. Savings in gas and electricity mean lower maintenance costs and more miles. In this way, first class installation, a clever lighting concept and heat insulation render real dividends. Best materials, perfect finish. From the drive system to the body and to the smallest accessory: Every component in a Hymermobil is subjected to the strictest of material tests and quality controls. Hymermobil vehicles have a significant advantage: Not only can they be used by different generations at the same time, the next generation can also benefit from them. Jörg Reithmeier, Head of Marketing and Sales As a HYMER customer, not only can more time be spent with the vehicle but also more can be gained from it. For example, high heating comfort at low heating costs thanks to best insulation. Or advantages with toll charges and similar: Thanks to the innovative lightweight construction of the Hymermobil vehicles, a saving is made not just with weight but also with high expenditure on longer journeys. Moreover, there is the security of a European service network that assures a comprehensive supply of parts and thereby trouble-free mobility. Use the services of the HymerCard as well and extra added value can be secured for the journey. In summary, every Hymermobil is a worthy investment and the return gained from it is beyond anything a speculative venture can offer: unforgettable holiday experiences, anywhere you like.

8 Maximum safety as standard Prepared for every eventuality. Driving safety and driving comfort have reached an extremely high standard in the automotive sector. This benchmark is also set by HYMER for its motorhomes: The highest standards of safety are defined and implemented during development from the construction of the vehicle to the intelligent electronic safety systems. In this way, HYMER already complies with all of the safety requirements that are due to be enforced in Detecting danger in good time. The high panoramic window at the front, the large side windows of the cab and the standard daytime running lights provide allround visibility on the road. Clear view in any weather. Thanks to the three windscreen wipers on the panoramic windscreen and the large coverage of the wipers, the edges of roads and crossroads are clear to see. Good view to the rear. With electrically adjustable and heated exterior mirrors, optimal positioning and the integrated wide angle mirror, there is no blind spot. Crash safety. Airbags on the driver and front passenger side are standard in all HYMER mobile homes. Avoid hazards with antilock braking system (ABS): Now somewhat of a classic among electronic control systems, this system prevents the wheels from locking during emergency braking and, in this way, keeps the vehicle steerable.

9 Not until we have reached the highest level of safety in a HYMER can we be sure that we have done a good job. And we have done a good job. Thomas Buschle, Technical Development Exteriors Always on track thanks to the electronic stability program (ESP): In critical situations, skidding or drifting is prevented. The ESP trailer stabilisation also brakes the towing vehicle in the event of weaving. Safe drive-off with antiskid control (ASR): If traction is lost at a wheel (wheel slip), this is braked automatically by the electronics. Driving-off and accelerating on loose ground is made much easier in this way. Controlled braking thanks to electronic brake pressure distribution (EBD) and brake assist system (BAS): The braking power is distributed optimally to both axles depending on the situation. In emergency braking situations, the brake pressure is increased in a targeted manner. Simplified hill-start with drive-off assist (AAS): On gradients, the brake pressure remains intact for a short while after the brake pedal has been released. In this way, undesired roll back is prevented and the vehicle can be driven off with particular ease. Excellent road holding: made possible by the special AL-KO frame with independent suspension and wide track. Wheelbase and weight distribution are adapted optimally to each vehicle body respectively. In matters of safety, HYMER is years ahead two in fact.

10 Setting new standards Always one HYMER length ahead. Mobile holidaying is a lifestyle that is steadily being developed and changed. This results in a consistent flow of new challenges that spurs HYMER on time and again to delivering innovation. An example from recent times: Thanks to ultra-modern production techniques and internally developed materials, the company can proudly call itself the inventor of the 3t class. Tradition is about passing on the flame and not worshipping the ashes. We follow this guiding principle by combining innovation and continuity. Anton Steigmiller, Technical Development Furniture Environmentally friendlier travel. This is no longer a problem with the world s first functional hybrid motorhome from Bad Waldsee: As an alternative to the diesel engine, it can be switched over to pure electric drive thus becoming a zero emissions vehicle. The luxury of not having to sacrifice a thing. This is the standard of the 3 ton class. The new Exsis-i, for example, stays under the important kg maximum weight and still gives an extensive payload Among integrated models, this makes the HYMER a leader in terms of weight. Less weight, more comfort. Whether furniture made with an extremely sturdy honeycomb structure or full foam PUAL wall design taking to the road is now even easier with the innovative lightweight construction method used in every HYMER. Everything sits perfectly. Building high quality furniture has a long tradition at HYMER. 90 percent of all furniture items are made in-house using state-ofthe-art technologies, materials and fittings of the best household quality. All-round safe mobility. Never rest on your laurels when it comes to safety. For this reason, every HYMER with its standard safety package already meets all of the safety requirements that are due to be enforced in 2014.

11 Best results. Not a problem for a Hymermobil: Every HYMER is subjected to a variety of endurance tests, such as extreme cold temperatures. We then personally check every vehicle. Guaranteed water-tight. The closed-pore polyurethane foam means that exterior parts are absolutely impervious to water. This is underpinned by HYMER s six year leak-tightness guarantee. This prevents unwelcome water from ruining a holiday. As a pioneer of the motorhome industry, HYMER has developed a whole range of revolutionary new features over the years that have made their mark on mobile holidaying with lasting effect. The crankhandle skylights, the wheel housing refrigerator and the drop-down bed are just a few classic examples. Unparalleled to this day is the innovative body of the Bad Waldsee vehicles with its full foam PUAL walls, heated area under the floor and the unique HYMER bonding technology. It provides comfort in every setting: Seasonal restrictions on holiday enjoyment are a thing of the past. On the agenda for the future, more so than ever, are ecological aspects. And the need for the highest level of energy efficiency is of particular importance. For many years now, HYMER has favoured state-of-the-art LED lighting for this purpose. The world s first motorhome with hybrid drive technology a Hymermobil B-Class already exists as a prototype. Regardless of the journey that you will embark on in future, with its developments HYMER will continue to lead the way. Another milestone: About 80% of the HYMER floor layouts from the current model series weigh less than 3.5 tons.

12 HYMER vehicle programme 2012/2013 Uniquely diverse. HYMER motorhomes will be presented in ten model series for model year 2013: From the compact Low Profile vehicles to the premium integrated B-Class they are all covered. The individual profile of the model series, its diverse range of floor layouts and the equipment options create the perfect foundation for finding just the right vehicle that meets all desires and needs.
