A wide range of features, a comfortable ride and built on the chassis of renowned brands – that’s what HYMER camper vans are all about! Also known as panel vans or campers (and campervan is also an alternative spelling), the motorhomes can comfortably accommodate two to four people and their compact size means that they can also be used as your daily runaround. If you want to buy a camper van, you don’t have to miss out on a bathroom or kitchen either. Our buyer’s guide will help you to make your choice.
Are you looking for a unique travel experience with plenty of freedom to make spontaneous decisions? And do you want it to be easy to find a parking space whenever you’re heading into town? If that’s the case, then a camper van or panel van is the perfect choice for you! But what are the things that need to be considered when buying a camper van? This guide will help you to find your perfect vehicle.
A panel van is probably the most compact option for anyone looking for a holiday home on wheels. HYMER camper van models are built on tried-and-tested Fiat and Mercedes vans, the interior of which has been converted.
Externally, some of them have the same dimensions as a conventional car, and these are usually smaller than motorhomes. This often makes camper vans more manoeuvrable and flexible in traffic, making them the perfect companions on city trips. What’s more, the speed limits for a panel van with a gross vehicle weight of up to 3.5 tonnes are the same as those for a car, so you can often drive faster in a camper van than in a large motorhome.
Camper vans also use less fuel due to their smaller size. Highly manoeuvrable, they are usually cheaper to buy as well. And as an extra bonus, the cost of overnight stays at camping grounds is often lower if you arrive in a camper van.
HYMER camper vans are ideal for both inexperienced and experienced campers who have been enjoying the freedom of van life for many years already. Aside from solo travellers and couples, small families who are completely happy with having less space can also travel in comfort in camper vans, which can also be used as a daily runaround.
