LIVING AND
KITCHEN COMFORT
A perfectly coordinated living space.
SNUG LIVING AREA
The elegantly designed seating area with the Palatino Apple
­furniture finish and Castello fabric combination makes for a
cosy living environment inside the ML-I 580. Pictured here is the

Up to 5 people can be accommodated in the standard semi-dinette of
the HYMER ML-I 580 thanks to a table with swivel extension. Our illustration shows the smart comfort seating area in the pear wood furniture
finish and Santorin fabric combination.
The modern kitchen of the ML-I with its large drawers and numerous
overhead storage cupboards allows plenty of space for a range of kitchen utensils. The work surface can be extended at a stroke, creating ­extra
storage space.
Despite its narrow design, the standard Smart-Tower refrigerator has an
impressive 142-litre capacity, plus a 15-litre freezer compartment, and
always looks tidy thanks to a well-organised interior.

SLEEPING COMFORT
For a luxurious night’s rest.
COMFORTABLE LOUNGING AREA
The comfortable single beds in the ML-I 580 also comes in a
low-level version with easier access to the sleeping area. As an

The ML-I has a 150 cm wide, highly convenient and comfortable folddown bed above the cab, which lowers right down and is firmly ­supported,
ensuring much easier access to the bed area.
The ML-I 580 not only has a practical clothes cupboard under the single
beds, but also an attractive full-length wardrobe with enough space for
several people to keep their holiday wear.

BATHROOM COMFORT

STANDARD HIGHLIGHTS
The vehicle inventory will amaze you with its remarkable
variety of practical components. Travelling has never been
so free and easy!
STATE-OF-THE-ART ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL
The ML-I on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter base comes with an extensive
safety package as standard. The electronic stability control system includes an anti-lock braking system (ABS), traction control system (TCS),
electronic brake force distribution (EBD) and hydraulic brake assist system
(BAS). Also included are the latest generation of the adaptive electronic
stability program (ESP), load adaptive control (LACS), roll-over mitigation
and roll movement intervention (ROM/RMI), enhanced understeering
control (EUC) and trailer stability assist (TSA). Even greater driving safety
in wet and rainy conditions is ensured by the automatic brake disc ­wiping
and electronic brake prefill systems.

LEVEL LIVING AREA
The 6,000 W Truma Combi 6 heater, installed as standard, can be
relied on to keep you warm and
cosy inside the vehicle. Its central
location under the seating area
means that the heat is distributed
throughout the vehicle.
The high-quality Seitz S7 framed
windows are fitted with double
acrylic glazing for optimal thermal
insulation. The powder-­coated
­aluminium frame, lightweight and
sturdy has an insulating layer to
protect against thermal bridging.
The interior lighting throughout
the vehicle features LED technology as standard, thus reducing power consumption and prolonging
the life of the battery. Since LEDs
don’t get hot, this also improves
fire and accident safety.
Six loudspeakers in the sleeping
and living area, wiring and sockets
and a radio aerial are factory-fitted in every vehicle. All you need
to do is plug in your radio or TV.
The swivelling and height-adjustable Aguti Ergoflex driver seats
are fully upholstered in the same
­fabric as the living area, offering
exceptional seating comfort and
large, tiltable arm rests for lounging and relaxed driving.
Often available as an add-on only,
the flexible flat screen mount is
included here as standard. Thanks
to the movable bracket, you can
adjust the LED flat screen to the
ideal viewing position.
The grey water tank can be
drained at the touch of a ­button. It
is equipped with an electric valve
which can be instantly opened
and closed via a switch in the rear
­garage.
The interior of the vehicle has
a level floor from the cab right
through to the rear – a big advantage for older motorhome users,
who no longer need worry about
trip hazards.

The large crank skylight in the
­living area lets in plenty of direct
daylight to create a pleasant, natural ambience in the interior of the
vehicle. When it gets dark, uniform lighting is provided by the
integrated LED spotlights.
The high-power LED awning light
with rain deflector comes as
standard. It lights up a wide area
outside the entrance door so you
can exit the vehicle safely in the
dark.
The indestructible GRP underbody
makes the vehicles practically immune to weather damage, stone
chips, grit and dirt, guaranteeing a
long lifetime for your motorhome.
The large-capacity garage with a
headroom of 121 cm comes with
a left and right-hand door plus
high-quality gas pressure shock
absorbers as standard. The garage
loading capacity is 350 kilos or
­optionally 450 kilos.
The high standards of comfort and
functionality of the ML-I are evident from the moment you enter the vehicle. The entrance door
has a window and inner shell, and
there is an electric step for ­easier
access.
The comfortable seating area in
the front of the new Hymermobil
ML-I is fitted with two integrated
three-point seat belts – part of a
wide range of safety features.
The floor conceals the fresh water (A) and grey water tank (B) in ­insulated
trays (C) which have hot air flowing through them (D). All the plumbing
and wiring (E) is accommodated in the heated living space, safe from
frost. The numerous, optimally distributed hot air outlets guarantee perfect climate control throughout the whole vehicle. These excellent insulation and heating facilities make the ML-I winterproof and ideal for
year-round use.

clean.
The modern ambient lighting
lends the living area a tasteful,
cosy atmosphere just like at home,
thanks to indirect LED lamps.
The 1.50-metre-wide fold-down
bed above the cab can be raised
and lowered electrically. The
switch for the electric drive is integrated in the front of the bed and
can be reached with ease from the
living area.
The aluminium vehicle roof has
no longitudinal seams for water
to penetrate through from above.
The GRP coating provides additional weather and hail protection, preventing mechanical damage to the roof surface.
The electric windscreen ­r oller
blind effectively shuts out the
light from the cab area. As an additional shield against cold and direct sunlight, it also helps ensure
a comfortable temperature in the
interior.
The heated front windscreen consists of two panes with almost invisible wire heating elements, ensuring a clear view within minutes
of switching on the engine.

The modern seat heating systems
for the driver and passenger seat
ensure added comfort in winter,
with several settings for individual adjustment.
The HYMER comfort sleeping system with high-quality disk-spring
bed frames maximises the benefits
of the multi-zone cold foam mattresses. Each area of the body is
supported with the ideal counter-­
pressure.
The L-shaped seating with its comfy lounge upholstery lends a warm
and snug atmosphere to the entire living area. Four people can
be easily accommodated around
a vertically and horizontally adjustable table with a real ­wooden
frame.
The wheel arch does not impinge
on the shower in the Hymermobil
ML-I, so that none of the standing area is compromised. The
smart wooden slatted frame gives
a nice visual finishing touch to the
­shower.
The optionally available 7G-­Tronic
automatic transmission guarantees a smooth drive. The ­seven
forward gears prevent abrupt
speed changes when shifting up
and down to keep the engine
within the ideal rpm range.
As an alternative to hot-air heating, the ALDE hot water heating
system with its numerous convectors provides a pleasant warmth.
The system is also available with
an energy-saving heat exchanger
on request.
The Hymermobil ML-I is equipped with an extremely useful and highly efficient power package comprising two additional, easily accessible batteries including an extra charger in the exterior locker door. It also contains
a powerful inverter which delivers a constant, reliable 1,800 watt supply
for the 230-V on-board electrical system, along with several additional
230V/12V sockets and a USB connection.
