New Mercedes model for Hymer - Practical Motorhome

Hymer is introducing a new 7.09m-long model to its Mercedes-based T Class S range for the 2022 season, as well as expanding its remote control Hymer Connect app system and introducing an innovative bike rack to its range of official accessories.

The T-Class S 585 features fixed single beds at the rear, a floor to ceiling wardrobe and a Vario washroom with a swivelling partition. Up front you get parallel facing settees as standard, but with an L-shaped dinette seat with travel seats as a cost option.

The low chassis means that you get a flat floor throughout and 2.04m of headroom, although this reduces to 1.88m under the optional drop down bed if you go for it. Diesel heating and a 152-litre compressor fridge come as standard, although you can opt for gas-powered blown air heating with an absorption fridge.

For the first time, Hymer is also offering to replace the steel double leaf spring on the rear axle with a GRP spring as an option. This saves 16kg in weight. As an option you can also have sporty Tenorite graphics on the outside.

From this season the Hymer Connect platform, which allows you to control vehicle components and monitor information on one app, will come as standard on all B-MC models. It is already a feature in the B-ML range.

The company has also launched the Backrack+, a rack that can be fitted and retrofitted to all its Fiat-based van conversions. A range of modular units can be fitted to this including two different bike racks, both of which leave one door free to access when the bikes are in position.

Peter Baber is Reviews Editor of both Practical Motorhome and Practical Caravan. He has been reviewing motorhomes for the best part of a decade now. His first caravan reviews date back to the early 1990s when he first worked on Practical Caravan, before he embarked on a 20-year career in business journalism which saw him edit a wide variety of magazines, and launch a few too, including one that won an award. Although he enjoyed that, he always knew he wanted to come back. Peter reports on all the new models that make it to dealer forecourts each season, giving his judgement online and in magazine reviews. He has twice been shortlisted for a Caravan Writers Guild award. When he is not working, apart from going on motorhome trips himself (mostly local to where he lives in West Yorkshire, but also last year right across France) he likes trying to write novels, cooking, throwing the odd pot, and has just taken up tennis.
