Hymer: A Pioneer in Premium Motorhomes
Hymer is a name that resonates with quality and innovation in the world of recreational vehicles, tracing its roots back to the mid-20th century in Germany. The brand's journey began in 1957 when Erwin Hymer collaborated with Erich Bachem to produce the first ERIBA caravan, the "Ur-Troll" prototype. This early success quickly led to the development of the company's first motorhome, the "Caravano," in 1961, establishing Hymer as a pioneer in the segment.
The company truly cemented its reputation in 1971 with the launch of the first Hymermobil, a fully integrated recreational vehicle that helped define the modern A-class motorhome. This continuous pursuit of excellence is a hallmark of the brand, exemplified by the development of its patented PUAL body technology in 1978. This lightweight, wood-free aluminum sandwich panel construction, with its foamed insulation, provides superior durability, insulation, and stability—a core reason Hymer offers an industry-leading water ingress warranty on its vehicles.
Hymer’s product portfolio caters to the premium end of the market, offering a variety of motorhome classes and designs:
Today, Hymer operates under the umbrella of the Erwin Hymer Group (itself a subsidiary of the global RV giant, Thor Industries). It remains the leading manufacturer of residential vehicles in Europe, synonymous with "Made in Germany" precision, cutting-edge technology, and sophisticated comfort. For discerning buyers, Hymer represents an investment in a high-specification, reliable, and luxuriously appointed home-on-wheels built for year-round touring.
