2.2 Exsis
The Exsis, which made its world debut last year as the first motorhome with compact
dimensions, driver-friendly features and all the advantages of a fully equipped
motorhome, has successfully established itself in the market.
For model year 2005 more powerful engine versions are offered. From October (only
for manual transmission) a 146 HP engine, 2.8 litre with Ducato chassis 15/18 will be
available. This new engine applies universally to all Hymer motorhomes with Ducato
15/18 chassis. In addition, a 2.0 litre engine is available for the Exsis with Ducato 11,
and a 2.3 or 2.8 litre JTD (also with automatic transmission) with Ducato 15 or 18.

Exsis SG presents a new layout meeting customers’ requests for a larger bed on the
“ground floor”. This version now has a seating group convertible to form a bed. The
standard bed dimensions are then approx. 1.20/0.90 metres x 1.89 metres or with
widening element 1.40/1.10 metres x 1.89 metres.
The new Exsis SG features a (two-burner) hob/sink combination sunk into a laminated
top in the kitchen area. In all the other models a completely new kitchen is integrated,
this being the kitchen version from the Hymer C-Class including a three-burner hob
and sink as well as a convenient working surface.
The centre table design in the living area of the Exsis SK has been optimised. The
tabletop now has two folding sides, permitting more freedom of movement. The table
leg mount is sunk into the floor.
The sleeping area in the roof region has also undergone basic change. The lifting bed
is about 15 centimetres longer and has a comfortable length of about 2.05 metres.
The washroom has a new 2-part wooden door for more convenient partitioning. A
swivelling washbasin, rotating toilet and a curtain for splash protection when having a
