Current motorhome trends: discover where the journey is taking you

Flexible, smarter, more compact, more relaxed, more sustainable, more self-sufficient, more stylish, more season-independent: the world of mobile travel is becoming increasingly diverse and individual. Be inspired by the latest trends.

New possibilities:
Mobile travel becomes more flexible

With kitesurfing gear and bikes to Lake Garda, a weekend BBQ getaway with friends in the countryside, or a family trip to the seaside with plenty of luggage … today’s motorhomes have to meet a wide range of demands. Active holidaymakers in particular have high expectations when it comes to space efficiency and flexibility. HYMER motorhomes – such as the HYMER Grand Canyon S 700 – offer plenty of cleverly designed storage for everything you need on your adventures. For HYMER camper vans based on the Fiat chassis, the HYMER Backrack+ is the perfect solution: whether it’s bikes, e-bikes, skis, extra luggage, or a spare wheel – thanks to its modular components, everything can be transported comfortably and securely.

New Connections:
Mobile travel is becoming smarter

Using an app, you can easily read the mileage, electricity and water levels, control the light and the temperature, preheat the motorhome from afar in winter: digitization and connectivity are opening up more and more possibilities in terms of comfort and functionality on the go. HYMER is leading the way here - and the HYMER Connect app offers the first smart ecosystem for the networked camping vehicle. 

It gets even smarter with the HYMER Smart Connect sensors. They ensure that you can monitor your gas supply, windows, roof vents, temperature, humidity, and tire pressure anytime and from anywhere.

New Freedom:
Mobile travel is getting younger

Also increasingly on trend: compact camper vans – often with additional sleeping space under a pop-top roof. In recent years, the camping scene has noticeably become younger. For many young singles, couples, and families, compact vans are the perfect entry point into the world of independent travel.

The HYMER Camper Vans Fiat are especially popular in this segment. With powerful engines, high self-sufficiency, a comfortable interior, and many clever features, they’re versatile all-rounders – ideal for extended road trips, everyday use, and spontaneous weekend getaways.

New deceleration:
Mobile travel is becoming more relaxed

FOMO? JOMO! The fear of missing out turns into the joy of missing out. More and more people want to truly disconnect while traveling, slow down, and take things at a more deliberate pace. JOMO is closely linked to another trend: slow travel stands for the desire for simplicity, genuine enjoyment, and quality experiences beyond mass tourism and all-inclusive holidays.

 

Motorhomes and camper vans offer the ideal conditions to meet these needs. This is where another trend comes into play: microcamping. It’s ultra-relaxed camping on small, idyllic pitches, often offered by private individuals.

Our vehicle recommendation for this unique travel experience: the HYMER B-Class ModernComfort T BlackLine edition model, combining style, comfort, and a comprehensive ready-to-go package. This is how deceleration can be enjoyed in a particularly exclusive way.

New claim:
Mobile travel is becoming more stylish

More and more campers want to travel not only functionally, but also in style and comfort. Camping is becoming more than just a particularly flexible way of traveling – it’s evolving into a statement of an individual and sophisticated lifestyle.

With attractive vehicle designs and high-quality interiors, HYMER has long been setting style-conscious standards. But with the visionary appearance of the HYMER Venture S, the developers and designers have entered a new dimension.

New responsibility:
Mobile travel is becoming more sustainable

Campers are usually very close to nature. Consideration for the environment is a matter of course for them. However, especially in recent years, it has become increasingly important for many people to keep their ecological footprint as small as possible when travelling.

With water filter systems to reduce the number of PET bottles, energy management systems for saving up to 75% electricity, solar systems and much more, HYMER supports you in planning your travel adventures responsibly.

The HYMER clearliQ travel water filter not only removes 99.99 % of the bacteria from the water (e.g. E.coli) and coarse dirt particles such as sand and suspended matter, but also the chlorine that is added to drinking water as a disinfectant. The result is drinking water that is not only safer, but also has a more pleasant taste – and a clear conscience as you no longer need to stockpile plastic bottles.

HYMER energy management system

Our system combines the latest LED technology with an intelligent energy management system, which detects how much power the multimedia/navigation system is currently using and automatically switches to the optimal power source. This reduces your power consumption by up to 75%.

Solar systems for retrofitting

With solar systems, intelligent and powerful battery storage systems and much more, HYMER supports you in planning your travel adventures responsibly.

New Independence:
Mobile travel is becoming more self-sufficient

People want to travel, learn new things and discover the world. But fewer and fewer want to get lost in the crowd of tourists. They want to enjoy their adventures undisturbed by others. Keywords for this: "low touch" or "no touch".

Exactly this independence has always characterized caravanning. Today more than ever, innovative technology and well thought-out concepts make it possible to delve deep into the deserted wilderness and enjoy the freedom completely self-sufficient for many days. The requirements for this are, for example: all-wheel drive, self-sufficient power supply (e.g. through solar systems or a smart battery system), economical and reliable heating, large fresh water tanks or water filters.

With perfectly designed vehicles and many ideas, HYMER is consistently driving the concept of autonomous travel forward. A particularly popular example is the HYMER ML-T. Style and freedom come together here to create a true icon among motorhomes.

New freedom:
Mobile travel becomes more independent of seasons

Camping only from April to September? That’s a thing of the past. Many motorhome enthusiasts now want to enjoy the freedom of mobile travel year-round. Many regions also offer a pleasantly mild climate in winter. Winter sports enthusiasts, on the other hand, have long discovered how comfortable it can be to overnight directly by the slopes or to explore adventures in the magical winter landscapes. The key requirements for this are a winter-proof motorhome and the right equipment – such as a powerful heating system, off-grid features, and comfortable interior concepts. In our edition model, the HYMER ML-T Xperience, these are already included as standard.
