Launched in the autumn of 2018, here we can see the Hymer B Class, Modern Comfort in both integrated and semi integrated forms. The integrated and semi integrated models in the lay-outs 580 and 680 were the first motorhomes to date in which the chassis cowl specially developed by Mercedes Benz Vans for the new Sprinter is coupled with a chassis made by a motorhome manufacturer. The new generation of motorhomes offers a light and stable body together with improved safety and driving comfort.

It has an extremely light body. This is due partly to the GRP lightweight floor and HYMER’s proven PUAL technology,but most of all to the weight -optimised SLC chassis. The chassis also has a 36cm high double floor which ensures a level surface throughout the motorhome without affecting either the overall height or headroom of the vehicle. It has all the plumbing, electronics and heating. as well as the fresh and waste water tanks, which have a capacity of 180 and 150 litres respectively. The double floor is easy to load from both the out-side and inside.

Power, agility and comfort are hallmarks of the new Mercedes Benz Sprinter engines, especially the 177 hp diesel engine which is available exclusively for motorhomes. In conjunction with the new 6 - speed manual gearbox or the newly available 9 speed automatic transmission, this allows high cruising speeds with maximum, low noise engine smoothness and optimised fuel consumption.

Assistance systems include DISTRONIC Active Distance Control, Crosswind Assist and Active Brake Assist.

The exterior of the integrated Hymermobil B Class ModernComfort echoes the lines of the Mercedes Benz Sprinter, featuring optimally designed exposed edges. This lends an automotive look to the whole exterior design which is further accentuated by the wide, central radiator grille element. The high uality black gloss grille with its optional chrome plated fins is a real eye catcher.

The LED fog lights with integrated cornering light are mounted in matching plastic elements and blend seamlessly into the front design. The visible garage casing with black diffuser look below the rear light moulding echoes the front design for a harmonious, overall look of sporty elegance. In terms of the interior, HYMER breaks new ground with a central design concept of strong lines in which everything is arranged at a slight, six degree angle, from the orientation of the furniture elements through their geometry to the comfort bathroom. The resulting alignment extends from the cab through the living area to the sleeping area at the rear, allowing a clear view through
the entire vehicle with no disruptive contours. This clean look is underlined by the
continuous living area floor, which can be suitably enhanced throughout the vehicle
by indirect lighting in the plinth area. The slightly angled effect is also reflected in
individual details such as the overhead locker doors or the washbasin in the bathroom,
resulting in an individual and highly distinctive design. The twin beds in the rear main-
tain the same lines in a trapezoidal shape tapering towards the foot end. A special
highlight is the geometrically identical extra cushion with storage shelf which can
beremoved and inserted exactly into the gap between the mattresses.
That way the single beds can be turned readily into a large, comfy sleeping surface
for two. Directly beneath is the newly developed folding ladder up to the beds. The
generous comfort steps are equipped with a non-slip coating to match the floor.

Even the smaller lay out 580, measuring 6.99 metres by 2.29 metres, offers plenty of room thanks to an intelligent division of space. The side kitchen has a 142 litre refrigerator with freezer compartment. More or less facing this is a seating area upholstered in a special water repellent fabric. An integrated upholstery concept with dual foam core ensures optimal stability combined with excellent seating comfort. Thanks to a recess in the rear wall of the washroom, an up to 32 inch LED TV can be incorporated harmoniously into the overall design. The new comfort bathroom is optically divided into two sections, one side containing the generous shower with 1.94 metre headroom and the other the bench toilet plus integrated washbasin and side shelf.

The inclusion of a HYMER Smart Battery System gives motorhomers even more independence. This innovative energy system combines lithium and lead batteries and ensures intelligent regulation of the charge level for even greater self sufficiency. For added privacy, new, optional roller blinds are fitted to the front windscreen which can be operated from the bottom up or the top down. This prevents outsiders from looking in without impairing the view from inside.
