Hymer B-Class Specifications and Layouts
The Hymer B-Class is a premium German-engineered motorhome range offering between 2 and 6 berths. Built on chassis such as the Mercedes-Benz SLC or Fiat Ducato, these vehicles feature PUAL 2.0 insulation and a Super Light Chassis (SLC) for improved weight distribution. With a length of 7.39m and a significant 1120kg payload, the range accommodates diverse layouts including rear garages and A-Class drop-down beds.

- Maximum technical permissible laden mass (MTPLM) of 4500kg.
- Generous payload capacity of 1120kg for equipment and supplies.
- External dimensions of 7.39m in length and 2.96m in height.
- Layout options including Island Bed, Twin Fixed Beds, and L-shaped Lounge.
Worth knowing: A C1 driving licence is required for models exceeding 3500kg. Maintenance costs may be higher due to the use of premium parts.
Buying a Hymer B-Class
Who it suits
- Year-round tourers requiring superior winterisation and insulation.
- Drivers who prioritise stability and aerodynamic efficiency on long journeys.

Reasons to consider it
- Exceptional resale value within the UK leisure vehicle market.
- Advanced safety systems and driver assistance technologies.
- Heated garage spaces and ergonomic interiors with high-end finishes.
What to check
- Confirm the specific chassis type, as options include Mercedes-Benz SLC and Fiat Ducato.

Worth knowing: Initial investment costs are significant compared to market rivals. The 4500kg MTPLM necessitates specific driving licence entitlements in the UK.
Compare the Hymer B-Class with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hymer B-Class | 6 | 4500 kg | 7.39 m | £45,000 to £185,000 |
| Hymer B-Class ModernComfort T 550 WhiteLine | 4 | 4430 kg | 6.99 m | £85,000 to £115,000 |
| Swift Trekker Xl | 6 | 3500 kg | 6.50 m | £35,000 to £65,000 |
The Hymer B-Class occupies a distinct position in the market, offering a high 4500kg MTPLM and 1120kg payload that exceeds the 3500kg limit found on alternatives like the Swift Trekker XL or Ford Transit. While the B-Class provides a longer 7.39m platform and specialised SLC engineering, it requires a C1 licence, whereas the 3500kg alternatives offer 6 berths in a more compact footprint. The choice between them depends on whether the priority is Hymer's German build quality and winterisation or the licence-friendly weight of the smaller alternatives.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Hymer B-Class Ownership Advice
- Utilise the 1120kg payload to make full use of the heated rear garage for heavy gear.
- Take advantage of the PUAL 2.0 insulation for touring during winter months.
- Monitor the weight distribution across the SLC chassis to maintain driving stability.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Underestimating the 2.96m height when navigating restricted routes.
- Assuming all drivers can legally operate the vehicle without checking for a C1 licence.
Worth knowing: Ensure the vehicle is weighed when fully loaded to stay within the 4500kg MTPLM.
Alternatives to the Hymer B-Class
- Hymer B-Class ModernComfort T 550 WhiteLine - For buyers seeking a 4 berth model with a lower MTPLM of 4430kg and a shorter 6.99m length, this specific WhiteLine variant offers a focused alternative.
- Swift Trekker Xl - If a 6 berth capacity is required within a 3500kg MTPLM and a shorter 6.5m length, the Trekker XL provides a different weight-to-berth ratio.
- Mercedes-Benz Sprinter - A similarly sized model worth comparing on layout, weight and price.
