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.
After two years enjoing an integrated exsis, we are changing and waiting for a new bmc 580 integrated again. If you can afford it, INTEGRATED forever. It’s a really different driving and living experience and pleasure.
We have the same kitchen’s cupboard shelf in the exsis and after two years we are still trying to understand it’s purpose on hymer designer’s mind :) We use it to have things handly like keys, glasses, mobile phones when not charging..
Great Video Review. My favourite Is the Semi Integrated
Thanks Jamie!
Goodnight Alan,
I follow your work and I like it a lot.
Congratulations for the contest.
Best regards,

With a 30k saving, it has to be the semi intergrated . Good video and thanks for sharing
Didn’t know Mercedes did a 318. Thanks for showing.
Thank you for another great video of your favorites motorhomes. I'd go for the semi-integrated.
Ok.. I’d go crazy to own that here in the USA!
If I see on RUclips videos of Winnebago or leisure travel vans i think they are much better?
Ronny Op de Beeck im not keen on their duelly rear wheels, I like the hymer in 4X4 config.
Good use of space with having those electrics stored in the floor. My one worry would be if for some reason you had a flood from the bathroom or kitchen sink! How water proof would be the hatches?
Definitely Integrated👍...
I liked the second one. This competition I have to opt out as I don’t have a camper van yet.
Integrated!👍🖖🏴🏴🏴
Great Van
Nice van.
The first one where you can sleep 4... just have to figure out how to get it to San Francisco CA
What is that space for in the lockers, can you have a word with the Hymer designers as they must have had a reason for it that is not evident to a single other person 😂 anyway I’m awaiting the arrival of my hot of the production line MLI 790 so if I find a use for it I will let you know
Love your videos. your passion and effort you put in to these content is highly appreciated. I just want to know your opinion on the best luxurious motorhome under 6m that money can buy in 2019. Thanks.
Under six metres, I would go for a Hymer similar to this one!
I like the small wingamm or Hymer 560 4x4
Tricky competition rules Alan does it apply to the live chats as well ?
The problem with live chats is access - so it just the comments under the videos! Although one can make as many as one wants!
@@VanlifewithAlan will do, I am a sucker for a competition ☺
Semi integrated
Prefer the semi integrated but with an island bed. Alan is there any models that cater for shorties. Or do the skylights all electrically close and open. A lot of the storage space tends to be high up and deep, which renders them impractical for us shorties unless we carry a ladder with us all the time
👍
Semi-Integrated, allready ordered....
Grand oak or noce cognac? Which upholstery?
🎉👍👍
😎🤙👍
