Hymer Free S Campus: a large premium camper based on Mercedes-Benz

From the collaboration between Hymer and Mercedes-Benz some of the most aspirational models in the world of caravanning emerge. The resulting leisure vehicles combine the best of both worlds, with the star's signature sportiness and the elegance that characterizes the Bad Waldsee manufacturer. Furthermore, both companies are leaders in safety, reliability and technological equipment, as they have once again demonstrated with the Hymer Free S Campus.

This special edition once again takes the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as its base vehicle, recognized for its ride comfort, dynamic behavior and innovations in the digitalization section such as the 10.25-inch rear camera. Recognizing it will be easy thanks to the bluish gray finish on the exterior along with the black decorative elements and the Free S600 name with youthful and irregular letters.

This combination, inspired by the most performance-oriented Mercedes models, advances a capable large-volume camper, both for its driving qualities and driving sensations. To do this, they use the 317 CDI block from the front-wheel drive Sprinter, with 170 HP and its 9G-Tronic automatic transmission with hill start system. The diesel tank has 92 liters, so autonomy is more than assured.

If you want to travel with your family, the Hymer Free Campus S 600 has the necessary Isofix anchors in the living area. In addition, throughout the cabin you will find sockets to connect the devices that will make your trip a more entertaining and enjoyable journey.

Logically, you will have the arsenal of driving and safety assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control (Distronic Plus), electric handbrake, blind spot warning with lane steering and the renowned MBUX from Mercedes-Benz. .

The Hymer Free S Campus exudes free spirit and a desire for adventure, so it must also be practical and pleasant on the inside. Added to the youthful aesthetics of its body is an excellent finish of the white and gray furniture, called “Jandia”, which raises the perceived quality and improves the feeling of space. Thanks to the pop-up roof, they can sleep up to four adults by installing a second double bed in the pop-up roof area.

This innovative space for a large-volume camper serves as a second bedroom during camping, with a 122 cm x 200 cm bed, USB connections, LED reading lights and a 12 V socket. This comfort element increases the weight of this model Free S 600 up to 3,500 kilograms in weight, so we will hardly see many units in Spain. Here we tell you why: mandatory driving with a truck license.

Its size is also considerable, measuring 5.93 meters long by 1.06 wide and 2.78 high (without the roof open). These dimensions ensure a spacious and functional interior in which you can feel at home and enjoy it with maximum independence. If we look at the equipment of other Free Campuses of lower power, the refrigerator is 90 liters, with two stoves in the kitchen and a 100-liter clean water tank (100 l for the gray ones).
