HYMER is one of the most traditional and innovative brands for motorhomes and camper vans in Europe. The history of HYMER began in 1957 in Bad Waldsee, when Erwin Hymer developed the first model, the legendary Eriba-Troll Caravan, together with Erich Bachem. The first HYMER motorhome was the „Caravano“ (1961). Since then, HYMER has stood for German engineering, pioneering vehicle concepts and the highest quality workmanship.

Specialization & brand philosophy
HYMER offers a diverse range of models tailored to different travel styles and needs - from compact camper vans to semi-integrated and fully integrated motorhomes. Particularly noteworthy are the panel vans such as the HYMER Free or Grand Canyon S, which impress with their compact design and high flexibility and are ideal for beginners and for traveling in the city. HYMER attaches great importance to clever and well thought-out use of space, creating a comfortable living space with practical storage solutions even in smaller vehicles.
The semi-integrated and fully integrated models offer a balanced combination of comfort, functionality and high-quality equipment. Many vehicles are also suitable for winter use and have powerful heating systems and excellent insulation, making HYMER particularly attractive for year-round travel. One example of this is the HYMER ML-T 570 CrossOver model, which is equipped with an extensive self-sufficiency package as standard and therefore offers maximum freedom and independence.
HYMER's brand philosophy is based on the pillars of quality, innovation and comfort. The aim is to offer travelers - from beginners to discerning luxury travelers - a motorhome that provides a distinctive travel experience thanks to state-of-the-art technology, high-quality materials and a functional yet aesthetic design. With models such as the HYMER Venture S, which combines off-road capabilities with luxurious comfort, HYMER also appeals to adventurers and the vanlife community who are looking for flexible and robust vehicles for individual journeys of discovery.
