Just wondering what the Hymerites thought of the new B Class.

Looks nice but the usual boring small lounge around a huge table does absolutely nothing for us.
The reason we fancy a B544 is the huge amount of living space even compared to our B694.
About time they came up with something new.

here you go
lounge not maybe as big as this makes it look, but a new take on layout, (or revisiting old fashions maybe)

We are now on our second B544 following 3 RVs . We like lounge space and the 544 does the trick for us and even us old uns manage the drop down bed, easy

The dynamic line is another in the Hymer / Mercedes stable. Looks pretty but not really sure about the front end, could be a trust re future Hymer fronts.

I like the look of them, lots of clever ideas (remote waste and camera, drop down singles for example) and love the curved units.
I do wonder where the weight savings have come from, will be interesting to view one in the flesh...
Have to agree about the lounging space, our's has the l-lounge and very large table, worst part of the van imo, the new ones appear to be even more cramped. Large garage and open space at the rear seems to be a common theme for the moment.
Agreed, a really sensible ideaOne of the excellent design features on the new Hymer I was not aware of are the heating vents from the truma below every window including the windscreen which in our case eliminates condensation on the glass.

I love Hymers, I love American RVs. I'm really looking forward to seeing What Hymer America eventually come up with.

most of our extended holidays (life....) away from home are for 3 or 4 months and we go to places where we can sit outside in the warm, not inside the van.Just don't get the obsession with small lounge and large tables not enough room to swing a bloody cat. Do people really spend so much time sat at a table? We normally go on extended trips and appreciate lounging space far more than a huge table. Getting more and more difficult to find a decent lounge in the modern vans available at anything under 8 metres. The reason the B544 is so successful and hold their price so well I think.

the reason many Brit vans have larger lounges (and hopless bed sizes) is because the weather is not suited to spending relaxing time outside...
our lounge is fine for feet up lounging (tv, reading etc) and the smallish fixed table is perfect for meals or using a pc etc....
having had a twin sofa uk van previously, i thought we might not like the lounge but its fine....and we have a massive garage for leccy bikes which the 544 (lovely as it is) doesnt have.

Lenny, might be more aimed at C-Compactline as narrower body and also looks like you can sleep east/west too as the cabinets appear to drop with the bed.....
many new ideas (from loads of manufactureres) now putting 'spaces' other than beds above the garage (wardrobes....Chausson, Burstner) making a roomy short 'one-box' design with garage a possibility.
i was hoping Hymer were going to make an Exsis-i version of the B544, ie a little narrower, but i gues they were scared of it twking away sales from the more expensive B class.
the 6m DL looks interesting and will try to get a peep as soon as poss....
