Since 1957, Hymer has been designing premium motorhomes and campervans. The brand stands out for its proprietary technologies, historical expertise, and a wide range of vehicles.

A pioneering brand internationally

Founded in 1957 by Erwin Hymer, who gave the company his name, the German brand has gradually established itself as a reference in the leisure vehicle industry in Europe. From its historic site in Bad Waldsee, in southern Germany, Hymer designs and develops motorhomes and campervans known for their quality of construction. Originally part of the group, now integrated into the American group THOR Industries, the company has built its reputation on solid industrial know-how. It develops its own technologies to offer vehicles with efficient insulation, robust carpentry, and technical solutions suitable for use in all seasons.

An extensive range driven by innovation

The Hymer range covers a wide range of leisure vehicles, from a compact campervan of 5.40 meters to a motorhome that can reach nine meters. This diversity allows for different uses, from traveling to extended stays, while maintaining the brand’s premium DNA. At the top of this range is the Venture S, an iconic model that concentrates several innovations developed by the German manufacturer. This 4×4 motorhome stands out for its original architecture, with a deployable rear wall forming a terrace and an inflatable pop-up roof offering two beds. Designed to promote autonomy and connectivity with the environment, it also includes energy solutions and connected functionalities to control certain vehicle commands remotely. Several of these technologies are then adapted to other models in the range.

Grand Canyon S and ML-T: two iconic models

Among the models that embody this expertise is the ML-T, a profiled motorhome developed on a Mercedes-Benz chassis. Available in a 4×4 version, it combines off-road capabilities and travel comfort, while integrating several technologies specific to the brand. Offered in different layouts and particularly well-equipped special series, this model illustrates the balance sought by Hymer between robustness, autonomy, and finishing quality. In the campervan world, the Grand Canyon S also holds a central place. This camper van, also available in a 4×4 version, incorporates the technical principles and design requirements specific to the manufacturer. Configurable according to users’ needs, it stands out for its level of equipment and the integration of technologies aimed at improving comfort and autonomy during trips. These two models reflect Hymer’s commitment to offering vehicles capable of adapting to different travel styles while maintaining a high-end approach.
