One of Europe's leading mobile leisure companies, Hymer, manufacture caravans and motorhomes from their headquarters near Munich in Germany.
With a longstanding reputation for producing unique, high quality vehicles, the firm has become a linchpin in German leisure vehicle manufacturing. Hymer is synonymous with quality and with over fifty years of design, build and distribution experience, the company now supply vehicles to outlets across Europe and the UK.
Where it all began
Of their current five ranges, two have been in production for over half a century. The Eriba Touring series began life in 1957, followed three years later by the ever popular Hymer Nova series.
Construction methods have changed dramatically over the decades but the company's commitment to comfort and quality remain a stalwart design principle.
Celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2007, Hymer continue to promote the mobile leisure industry and build motorhomes and caravans that are suited to the higher end of the market.
Body construction
Developed in 1978, Hymer developed the PUAL superstructure which uses a special bonding technology to seal the bodyshell. A closed cell PU foam is used to line the walls, making them impervious to water and helps to resist decay. The structure is protected with Hymers' unique bonding technology which connects the outer shell to the chassis. The company offer a 6 year water ingress warranty on all models made after 1985.
Hymer Eriba-Touring
The long standing Eriba-Touring range has developed somewhat of a cult status for their compact, lightweight designs that are easy to manoeuvre on and off the road. The body lengths range from 3.20 - 4.96 metres. 'Practical comfort on a small footprint' the most recent tourers are fitted out with elegant furniture and well kitted out kitchens.
