So the big news is that all models are 19cm longer as they are built on I think a Knott chassis. New factory fit mover at a better price, no stain resistant fabrics, no sprung seating, new lighting clusters, new ambient lighting around the pop top. Proper room for a bike rack now, and a huge boot door as an option underneath the rear of a fixed bed

Admittedly I only ran through a configurator on a 540 and a 560 but I didn't notice it offering a fixed bed option on the 560, which I would've thought would be an option as the lounge area is 530 size. Maybe as there's nowhere else to sit as there's bunks up front they aren't offering a fixed bed.

I can't remember the old internal body lengths, for comparison, but is the extra length in the A frame and the body's are the same as before? Certainly on a 540 the front bed width is the same and the rear bench length looks the same. So if the body is longer it's either a wider door or kitchen.

It looks like they have dropped the Familia 320 model??

I like the new clean lines and the chrome bumpers, some of the accessories are a bit expensive, the radio package is £1070....

I configured the 310 to what I have got now (320) without the toilet and it came to £28k

I anyone is unsure about the new chassis, download the 2023 brochure at the foot of the webpage and you can enlarge several pictures of the hitch. It’s more obvious that it’s a Knott hitch and handbrake

Looks like the body length is the same as old models,the tow hitch is longer

Look at at 530, it’s gone from 5.80 to 5.99, bodies are identical it’s just the A frame.

My order for 2023 has gone up by £2230

Did they just add in the date?

Apart from all the updated specs etc I would hope that Hymer have addressed all the criticisms of the quality of the fittings on new vans - Hinges, screws, furniture collapsing, plastics etc etc.
We are tempted but the configurator is baffling and I would be hesitant to order from it and I suspect the dealers will be as confused as the rest of us. I think we will be waiting until we see actual models in the flesh.

I often wonder about the claimed " Unique design principle based on aircraft engineering ". Steel frame with screwed on alu panels, and bits dropping off from time to time. Sounds a bit like MIG fighter principles to me!

Don't forget that Erwin Hymer's aircraft design experience was during WW2 and the first Eribas were built in the 50's. So nothing like aircraft design now, some 70 years later.
