Mercedes motorhomes are known for their performance and quality. You can choose from various engine versions and different drive types (front-, rear- or all-wheel-drive) of the smooth-running and reliable Mercedes Sprinter power unit.
The high-quality equipment, including comfort and multimedia features as well as assistance systems from renowned manufacturers, provide the feeling of luxury and safety on board of a Mercedes RVs.
Fun fact: The Fiat chassis in form of the Fiat Ducato is the most widespread base vehicle in RV construction! You will unavoidably see it when searching for an affordable motorhome for sale.
It provides a solid base for Fiat motorhomes and Fiat camper vans with good workmanship and excellent value for the money. Innovative design, high-quality handling and advanced connectivity are among the benefits of HYMER's Fiat Camper Vans.
Travel needs are just as diverse as the travel destinations are. This is why motorhome models come in a wide range of sizes. Here is what you need to consider when choosing the right one:
Find out more about the key questions when it comes to length, height and width.
Whether your vehicle is a large or a small RV depends on three factors: length, width and height. Each of them has an impact on driving performance and travel comfort, which is why you should work out your own preferences in advance. Not every RV for sale is the best fit for you. So, make sure you take your time to compare and explore.
The clear advantages of motorhomes with more length and width are the increased freedom of movement as well as greater living comfort and storage space in the vehicle. At the same time, the bulky size can impair manoeuvrability and make it difficult or even impossible to use in parking garages, on parking lots, or in narrow spaces.
However, large motorhomes may be too high for underpasses, and you might have to find alternative routes and solutions in advance. Furthermore, having a longer motorhome can also mean a higher expenses on ferries and campsites.
A small RV usually does not exceed a length of around 6.5 to 7 metres. There are even compact camper van models under 6 metres. This makes the vehicle pleasantly agile and easy to handle. Looking for a parking space, crossing on ferries or navigating through narrow passages are all much easier in a smaller vehicle.
Another argument in favour of a smaller size is, of course, the price, because these vehicles are usually cheaper than their larger counterparts. Keep in mind that small motorhomes or camper vans with a fully equipped bathroom (i.e. a shower and toilet), are usually more expensive than those without.
In general, a motorhome that is rather short and compact is well suited for singles, couples and families with at most one small child. However, if you opt for a small model, you will have to make some sacrifices in terms of travel comfort and space. This can be especially noticeable on longer trips or during winter camping with a lot of luggage.
You can find small RVs in the HYMER model ranges:
An RV can be considered large when it exceeds a length of abpout 7 metres. More sleeping space and more comfort due to the increased space for movement is one clear advantage.
In addition, large motorhome models won’t make you sacrifice travel provisions and luggage. Thanks to the larger storage space provided by storage compartments, flaps and cupboards, they are well suited for families and longer trips. If you want an opulent seating area with plenty of room for spacious living that incorporates exciting trends around RVs, it is worth taking a look at a larger camper.
The disadvantage of a large motorhome is that it is somewhat less flexible and correspondingly more challenging to drive. Finding a parking space is not always easy and trips into city traffic should be carefully considered. You should also know that owners of large vehicles often must pay higher fees on ferries and campsites.
Generally, large motorhomes are suitable for families and groups of between three and six people. Couples who wish for more living comfort, sports enthusiasts with lots of equipment and long-term travellers may also benefit from a spacious model.
You can find large RVs in the HYMER model ranges:
Depending on the layout, your motorhome is tailored to the needs of different travelling groups. So, consider what you want or need and what you can do without first. The following overview serves as a guide:
A motorhome for 2 people or small families with one child is not necessarily a small vehicle. This is because the layout determines how many people can comfortably sleep and live in the motorhome. The good news is, every model can be configured exactly according to your needs (e.g., concerning payload, equipment or storage space).
The following motorhomes are perfectly suited for 2-3 people:
Small families and travelling groups feel at home in a motorhome for 4 people. The layout of these models provides enough seats and offers enough storage space for all the passengers' luggage. Of course, there are 4 sleeping berths in those RVs, so you don't have to improvise. This size can also be ideal if you are travelling in an RV with a dog.
The following motorhomes are perfectly suited for up to 4 people:
It is important to know that the
also offer up to four places to sleep and sit but have a rather limited amount of space. They are therefore suitable for anyone who has no problem with being cosy and making small compromises when it comes to comfort.
The weight of your motorhome determines whether you can drive it with your current driver’s license, the maximum speed you can travel in certain countries, and the tolls you have to pay. It also affects the configuration and loading of your motorhome.
Every motorhome is designed for a certain weight, which must not be exceeded when driving. This raises the question: How should you configure your vehicle to offer enough space for the passengers, luggage and accessories without exceeding this maximum weight?
Lightweight motorhomes under 3.500 kg are similar to cars in terms of requirements and regulations. In many countries, it means the same limit and a class B driving licence as for the passenger car. However, stay informed about the regulations in the country in which you are travelling. The amount to be paid for motorway tolls and tolls is usually based on the vehicle weight, so that an RV up to 3.5 tonnes is usually on par with a car.
The disadvantage compared to motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes is that lighter models tend to have a lower payload. Overloading the vehicle means a driving safety risk as well as high fines loss of driving points.
Weight also plays a decisive role when it comes to the selection and installation of any optional extras. You may have to “weigh up” the needs for the extras or a certain number of seats. Our configurator offers you the appropriate guidance: if you exceed the manufacturer's specified weight for optional equipment, you must decide to increase the weight of the vehicle, deselect some of the extras or the permitted number of seats/passengers will be automatically reduced.
To drive a heavier motorhome over 3.5 t, you need a driver's license for trucks. A vehicle over 7.5 tonnes may even need a driving licence of a different category depending on the country, but HYMER does not offer any of these models.
More weight means you can treat yourself to more optional extras and additional seating. This means: sufficient sleeping spaces for your travel group, enough storage space for gear and sports equipment, as well as space for a larger shower, kitchen or queen-size bed.
Since heavyweight motorhomes are also larger than lightweight motorhomes, which can make them more difficult to drive. You should also be prepared to pay higher tolls and fees.
Bathrooms also come in wide variety of design options: The space-saving Compact bathroom offers everything you need for thorough personal hygiene in the smallest of spaces. Split designs bathrooms offer a little more space. If you are looking for even more space, luxury and comfort in terms of hygiene, the Spacious and Salon bathroom are interesting options.
Your motorhome's kitchen is your culinary hub on the road, and choosing the right layout can make a big difference in your travel experience. Here are two popular options to consider: You will find more work surface and storage space in an L-shaped kitchen, also known as an angled kitchen, while a compact kitchen is a more practical choice.

By the way: Consider additional security measures, especially for more luxurious mobile homes with expensive equipment. Protective measures against burglary and can include burglar alarms or high-security door locks. You can find out more about this in our guide to motorhome security. |
When it comes to heating and hot water, ask yourself whether you want to heat with diesel or gas. It is also important to ensure that the motorhome or camper van is sufficiently insulated so that you do not lose energy unnecessarily, especially in winter. If you are only travelling in the warm summer season, this point is less important, although good insulation also helps to prevent the vehicle from heating up too much.
Depending on your travel behaviour, we also recommend considering the terrain in which you are planning to travel. Adventure and nature campers are well advised to consider off-road suitability. A suitable vehicle should then offer a certain amount of ground clearance and appropriate tyres. The right angle of repose also allows travelling on rough terrain with steep inclines. A 4x4 motorhome usually is a good choice here.
