For the fourth consecutive summer, the Finnish city of Borgå (Porvoo) lacks a dedicated campsite for motorhomes and caravans.

Hymer has introduced the B-ML 790 BlackLine version based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The model is positioned as a fully integrated premium motorhome, combining the driving characteristics of the Mercedes-Benz chassis with Hymer's finishing.
