Design-wise, the camper rvan boasts a Tenorite grey metallic finish on the exterior that is complimented by a contemporary interior available in two style options: Ivy Green, which includes cozy felt details, and Pearl Grey, featuring a warm oak finish. A standout feature across both decor options is the ‘multi-level’ ambient lighting system. This includes hanging lights, position-adjustable wall-track lighting, direct overhead lighting, and indirect mood lighting, all adjustable in color and contrast via the Hymer Connect app.
Akin to other models coming from the foundry of Hymer, the van’s layout features a four-seat dinette and wet bathroom on the driver’s side, with a kitchen block on the passenger side.
