Founded in 1957 in the Upper Swabian town of Bad Waldsee, Hymer is one of the leading brands for motorhomes and caravans. The company has made a name for itself over the decades with innovative vehicle concepts and high product quality. Hymer is best known for its iconic caravan models such as the Eriba Touring, which has been in production since 1958 and is extremely popular for its timeless design and high functionality.
The Eriba Touring Caravan presented at Caravan Salon 2024 embodies the shared vision of combining sustainability and functionality with modern, timeless design. In addition to design, this innovative concept car emphasises the use of sustainable and low-carbon materials. These materials, innovative technologies and tradition aim to harmonise the travel experience with responsible environmental management.
For the caravan, karuun® was used in various areas of the interior, among many other natural materials, to create a natural and welcoming atmosphere. By integrating karuun® stripe, karuun® edge and karuun® panel, the classic caravan becomes a real eye-catcher, not only visually but also functionally, setting new standards in sustainability and energy efficiency.
