The sporty companionHymer CompactIn a manner of speaking, being mobile and free is the original need that helped to create camping. The newCompact from Hymer combines the advantages of the panel van extended into a motorhome with the comfortand the generosity of a semi-integrated motorhome in order to fulfil your desire for independence.Fans of the extended panel vans mainlyappreciate the manoeuvrability of thevehicle compared to larger motorhomes.As an owner, you will remain flexible andin a position to spontaneously decidewhat to do next thanks to its dual usability;both as a motorhome as well as asimple means of transport. The panel vanhas only one disadvantage: it is not amotorhome but an extended van, whichis why it does not boast some of theproperties that make a semi-integratedmotorhome so comfortable – the livingroom feeling and the better insulation.As a true Hymer, the new Compactprovides exactly that: you are driving asemi-integrated motorhome completewith insulated bodywork and a GRP rearbut do have to do without anything thatmakes the panel van so practical – fromthe large boot flap to the overall size thatis suitable for city use.It is the unique feeling of spaciousnessthat clearly distinguishes the HymerCompact from extended vans. This is area as well as to the right and left abovebecause the Hymer Compact offers more the rear bed. This bed, equipped with aliving and storage space than extended premium cold-foam mattress upon thevans. The generous headroom above the slatted frame, can also be folded away indriver seats stands out as soon as you set order to ensure that the huge storageeyes on the interior. Here, the driver’s space complete with loading entrance thatcabin section placed upon the panel van is customary for a panel van is retained.“It was quite a challenge to accommodatethe typical Hymer comfort and the sophisticatedequipment into such a compact space.However, the concept is right and will help manypanel van fans to enjoy a little bit moreluxury when travelling.”Melanie Rothacher, Product Managementensures a comfortable standing height, Thanks to a tall clothing cupboard completewhereby the front seats already formwith shelves, your clothes can bepart of the overall living space. Further more carefully stored than is possible inadvantages of the bodywork that was just half-sized clothing cupboards.designed to be a motorhome right from More space in the wet area is alsothe very start are the larger cupboards an important comfort advantage of thelocated above the kitchen and seating Hymer Compact bodywork shape. The6

comparatively generous compact bathroomprovides the decisive extra bit ofspace compared to panel vans when itcomes to personal hygiene. The kitchen isequipped with a large sink unit insteadjust a cooker / sink combination completewith folding tap. Furthermore, arefrigerator with a 104 litre capacity anda large freezer compartment are alsostandard in the Hymer Compact.It is the comfort, as far as the seatingarea goes, that lifts the Compact from thepanel van equipment that is usuallylimited to only the most necessary items.Thanks to a fixed table complete withswivel plate, the small Hymer also integratesthe passenger’s seat into the groupand the perceived makeshift feeling ofa folding table without a swivel plate isreplaced with a comfortable solidity.Furthermore, the height-adjustable seats7

Two windows in the rearon the left and right hand sides bringlight into the multi-functional motorhomeand a normal body door completewith electrical step allow people to comfortablyenter the vehicle without havingto loudly move a cumbersome slidingdoor back and forth. On frosty days,the sandwich structure complete withStyrofoam insulation and GRP sandwichflooring ensure warmth and a sense ofwellbeing – whereby the Compact displaysmuch better insulating propertiesin cold and hot conditions compared toa panel van made of sheet metal.Further practical properties such asa gas locker for 2 x 11 kg gas cylindersand the preparation for radio and TVinstallations as standard offer furtherproof of the sophistication of the HymerCompact concept. As a result, the interioris almost entirely designed usingenergy-saving LEDs and there are plentyof sockets for 3x230 Volt and 2 x 12 Voltdevices. The exterior of the Compact alsolooks impressive thanks to the strikingGRP rear, the large boot flap for comfortablerear loading and the paintedfront spoiler. The mudflaps located onthe rear axle that are not usually presenton panel vans ensure that this also staysthe case, even following long days oftravelling.The utmost safety is offered by theHymer Compact with its sophisticatedtechnology such as ESP, ASR, hillholdersto ensure trouble-free hill-starting aswell as driver and passenger airbags.

Hymer Compact – Road safetyEverything in view, everything under controlThe premium travelling comfort of the Hymer Compact also includes a range of safety equipment that isunrivalled in this class. Thanks to the best possible view in the driver’s cabin and electronic safety systems, youwill always remain in charge of the situation – even in critical situations.Driver and front passenger airbag:Both seats in the cab are equipped asstandard with Fiat airbags. In the eventof an accident they are triggered in a fractionof a second and prevent severe head injuries.If an airbag is triggered, the seat beltis tensioned at the same time.Anti-skid regulation (ASR):If traction is lost at a wheel (wheel slip),this is detected by the electronics and thewheel is braked automatically. This makesit much easier to drive off and accelerateon slippery surfaces and the vehicle isprevented from sliding sideways at the rear.Electronic stability program (ESP):In critical situations, skidding or breakingout of the vehicle is prevented by enginespeed adjustment and by targeted brakingof individual wheels.When doing this, “Adaptive ESP” takesaccount of the respective load status.Traction Plus:In conjunction with ESP, this system ensuresgreater traction on difficult terrain bydistributing the torque to the front wheelsin a targeted manner. This makes it easierto drive-off on wet grass, for example, ormanoeuvre over muddy ground.Hill holder:On gradients of about 5 % and steeper,this drive-off assistant maintains the brakepressure briefly after the brake pedal hasbeen released. In this way, rolling back ofthe vehicle is prevented and comfortabledrive-off is enabled – even in reverse.Anti-lock braking system (ABS):Now somewhat of a classic among electroniccontrol systems, this system prevents thewheels from blocking during emergency brakingand, in this way, keeps the vehicle steerable.Familiar, light pulsation at the brake pedalcan be detected during ABS intervention.20

Hymer Compact – Road safety4 xElectronic brake pressure distribution (EBD):This system apportions the brake forceoptimally to both axles depending on thesituation. In this way, the greatest possiblebraking force is achieved and, at the sametime, the vehicle is prevented from breakingout through “overbraking” at the rear.Good view behind:The large, heated exterior mirrors are positionedoptimally and can be adjusted comfortablyby electrical means from the driver’s seat.Thanks to the wide angle mirrors on bothsides there is no blind spot next to the vehicle.Safety on the road:Four seats complete with 3-point seatbeltsin the direction of travel ensure the utmostsafety whilst travelling.Statistically, the 3-point seatbelt savesa human life every seven seconds.Secure cab:The driver’s door can be locked and unlockedconveniently at the press of a button via thecentral locking in the centre console of theinstrument panel. In this way, unauthorisedaccess into the cab is prevented when themotorhome is parked up.Good visibility in any weather:The reliable 2-blade windscreen washer systemat the front assures a maximum field ofview thanks to its large radius.
