2.4 Hymer C-Class<br />
The innovative concept of the Hymer C-Class on a Fiat Ducato chassis was introduced<br />
for the first time two years ago and the model has positioned itself successfully in the<br />
market. Therefore only minor updating modifications have been made for the new<br />
season.<br />
The family-friendly alcove vehicle, which is often used only by two persons, is<br />
coming to market in the 2005 season with five models (C-Class 494, C-Class 524,<br />
C-Class 544 K, C-Class 544, C-Class 644). New in the Hymer C-Class 494 is an<br />
internal, extra storage space at the rear, which can be used for camping furniture. Last<br />
season’s C-Class 594 is discontinued.<br />
The chassis used in this range is the Fiat Ducato 15/18 with the 2.3 litre JTD or 2.8 litre<br />
JTD engine and, from October 2005, the new, more powerful engine (only for manual<br />
transmission) with 2.8 litres and 146 HP. All Ducato 15/18 chassis come with ABS as<br />
standard for enhanced safety. A Camping Car Special package means all vehicles with<br />
manual transmission and 2.3 or 2.8 litre engines can be provided with TCS, a rear axle<br />
reinforced from 1,900 kilograms to 2,000 kilograms and wide tyres. For all vehicles with<br />
Ducato 15 a maximum permitted laden mass of 3.5 tons is standard.<br />
The attractive outer design is unchanged. The splash water seals in the locker door<br />
area and the rubber lip replacing the brush element used so far, increase the water<br />
proofing so as to prevent the ingress of water as a result of high pressure when the<br />
vehicle is washed or in extreme weather conditions.<br />
Hymer guarantees enhanced safety by using special stainless steel guard plates in the<br />
wheel arches to prevent them or the vehicle floor from being penetrated in the event of<br />
a tyre burst.<br />
The living area has Hymer-produced furniture in Ligurian alder wood finish in a self-<br />
supporting design that has proven to be stable and uses high-quality plywood.<br />
