Innovation and Heritage
Hymer’s story began in 1957 with the original “Troll” caravan, followed by the first Hymermobil motorhome in 1961. Key milestones include:
- 1978 – Introduction of the PUAL body shell for superior insulation and durability.
- 2019 – Launch of the futuristic Venture S concept, blending off-road ability with luxury living.
Today, Hymer continues to lead in both motorhome and campervan design, combining tradition with cutting-edge technology to inspire travel across the UK and Europe.
