The perfect living environment The innovation of HYMER is reflected in a variety of useful details, e.g. in the quality of upholstery. This is made from high-grade cellular material and has a high elasticity which ensures that the original shape is maintained even after constant use. Everything in its place and readily to hand: the functional bottle holder in the luxury seating arrangement of the Hymermobil-B-Class and B- Star-Line. The luxury seating arrangement offers the perfect place to relax in comfort. The upholstery cushions lend softness as well as support. The free-standing table is individually adjustable and the storage space in the seat frames can be fully utilised thanks to a smooth-running drawer system. Telescopic tables can be continuously lowered via a simple release system. In the Hymer C-Class models, the multifunctional table can be converted to a bed in no time using the swing lever on the wall. The front of the seat frame is diagonally positioned to ensure maximum legroom, and an optimised opening system allows easy access to the bench storage space. The adjustable back cushions provide individual comfort for sitting, relaxing and reclining. You ll find useful details wherever you look: roller-mounted drawers illuminated wardrobes doors with high-quality, sturdy fittings individually positioned reading spotlights, some with built-in adjustability double-glazed HYMER panoramic rooflight with combined cassette blind and lighting in living area You can choose from a range of fabric combinations to give your HYMER motorhome an individual touch. And hanging curtains or stores couldn t be easier with the new click gliders simply click in place at any point on the curtain rail. 49
Sleep in comfort The use of a high-quality cellar material gives the upholstery lasting elasticity and resilience so that it keeps its original shape. A place to sleep, relax and dream. Whether an alcove bed, single bed, twin bed, double bed or pull-down front double bed all are equipped with comfortable mattresses for a good night s rest, e.g. the well finished inner spring and micro pocket spring mattresses. The alcove models offer a permanent bedroom above the driver s cab. This space is particularly generous in the HYMER models, and has side windows for individual air circulation plus a hot-air circulation system under the mattress. The mattresses in the Hymer C-Class are made of high-quality cellular material and are covered in a stretch towelling fabric. The micro pocket spring mattresses in the C-Class GT are covered with lounge-style upholstery. The permanent beds rest on wooden slats encased in an aluminium frame. The front double bed, which is easily lowered via a handle, is equipped with an integrated lath floor to ensure a healthy circulation of air. When the bed is lowered, the three-sided partition curtain is closed. A further curtain closing off the living area turns the room into a separate, cosy bedroom. The other beds and convertible seats are also designed for maximum comfort when seated or reclining. The beds have inner spring mattresses with inner springs made from well-tempered steel which offers firm support for the body. The high-quality covering is removable for easy cleaning. The micro pocket spring mattress offers breathable, healthy climate control, excellent spot elasticity and a long lifetime. Practical pockets in the sleeping area provide additional functional storage space for small utensils. The pockets with wood appliqué at the Velcro fastener blend in harmoniously with the room. Additional small pockets for storing spectacles are located in the wardrobe and in the vicinity of the lift-up bed. Optimal privacy and isolation are afforded by the attractive and easy-to-use folding blind in the cab area. 50

A kitchen for connoisseurs This concept features a variety of practical details and a range of equipment catering to every need. Take the integrated 3-flame hob with automatic ignition and elegant Ceran-look glass cover. Everywhere you look, you ll find drawers, storage cupboards and cunning receptacles for various utensils. And in a design which is not only practical and functional but also attractive to look at. The natural look of fine wood combined with robust work surfaces creates a highly pleasing effect. The HYMER kitchen is a triumph of design right down to the last detail. In the new B-Class kitchens, a central locking system specially developed for the purpose secures kitchen drawers on both sides to prevent them rolling out accidentally. Some of the drawers automatically retract to the locked position from a fixed point onwards, while roller-mounted drawers and pull-out units ensure easy handling. The gas taps are located at easily accessible points and the kitchen cupboards in the HYMER-C-Class have a handy swivel tray with a high-quality utensil compartment. Especially designed edges in the roof storage boxes serve to prevent stowed utensils from falling out. All doors are equipped with crash-tested hook fasteners guaranteeing secure closure. The lever-type mixer taps have a ceramic household-type washer, and the 97L refrigerators are equipped with lighting. 53
A fresh new look for the bathroom Generous washrooms are a characteristic feature of HYMER motorhomes. The new shower/washroom concept allows an optimal use of space, achieving extraordinary versatility through easily operated sliding and swivelling elements and the flexible positioning of the washbasin. High-quality wooden panelling creates a warm, inviting look. Circular washbasins also contribute to the overall elegance of the design. New in the Hymer C-Class is the functional washroom with double side wall which not only provides better insulation, but also reduces condensation and offers the possibility of covering the large mirror with a protective blind when showering. High-quality ceramic seals in the taps ensure a long lifetime. The innovations introduced as part of the B-Class facelift are particularly evident in the shower area of the Hymermobil B 654 and B 655 models: here the new arrangement of toilet and washbasin not only creates more space but also allows the option of a window in the washbasin area. Practical utensil cupboards, a range of mirrors, generous lighting and ample storage surfaces complete the picture. All models are equipped with a fresh-water flushing toilet with ventilation. The fresh water is drawn - depending on the model from 90 to 135L fresh-water tanks. All pipes are laid in well insulated areas. The 100L waste-water tank is insulated and heatable. HYMER uses superior fabric hoses of lasting quality, durability and reliability to maximise the security of the water supply. The waste-water tap has a Teflon-coated valve and is housed in a frost-free environment. 54

Trend-setting design The HYMER double-floor concept of the Hymer C- Class GT and Hymermobil B-Class models is the essence of forward-looking innovation. This system is based on a special AL-CO low-frame chassis with an insulated and heated underfloor storage space. Generous storage space openings at the side with long-cargo channel behind the fresh water tank. The inboard technology is housed in the double floor to protect it from frost. Enlarged rear stowage spaces and storage thanks to a new axle suspension. Low tank installation positions to ensure a low centre of gravity and excellent driving stability. The overall height ranges between 285 and 300 cm depending on the model. The interior including driver s cab is laid out on the same plane. AL-CO special low-frame chassis with a maximum permitted laden mass in Germany of 3500 kg or 3900 kg for higher payloads. The underfloor stowage spaces are 20.4 cm high and heatable via a frost-protected hot-air duct for the fresh-water and waste-water tank and pipework. The waste-water valves are housed in a frostfree environment in the rear stowage space. The cleaning holes of the tanks and water pump are easily accessible from the interior via trapdoors. The doors to the stowage spaces are mounted in maintenance-free rubber hinges and doubly secured with a one-hand lock. HYMER body shells are based on the patented HYMER-PUAL technology. PUAL body components such as walls and roofs are cast in one piece and are therefore extremely tough and resistant. They are 100% water-impermeable thanks to the use of closed-pore PU foam. The excellent insulation properties of this material make the motorhome pleasantly cool in summer and cosily warm in winter. The outer skin in stoveenamelled aluminium is not only fully UV-resistant but also has an easy-to-care-for, mirror-finish surface. The innovative HYMER adhesive technology system The floor is glued to the chassis. This elastic connection between bodywork and chassis reduces the force acting on the interior fittings. It also reduces the noise level and allows an aerodynamic body shape. The heat insulation corresponds to an approx. 44 cm solid brick wall This design conforms to the highest DIN standards, including the necessary winter protection. 57
