At the start of 2026, NRW had 211,800 registered motorhomes (+7% year-on-year). Density is below the national average; Coesfeld leads.
The German caravanning industry is recovering after a downturn: last year, German campsites recorded around 44.7 million guest overnight stays — a new all-time high. Motorhomes are becoming more technically sophisticated, all-wheel drive is a trend, and classic caravans are making a comeback.
German campgrounds are increasingly replacing traditional pitches for caravans and motorhomes with permanent rental accommodations such as tiny houses and mobile homes. For instance, a former campsite in Duxbachtal, Lower Saxony, has been converted into a tiny-house village with 52 plots since 2023, with over half already sold. According to the Federal Statistical Office, Germany recorded a record 44.7 million overnight stays at campsites in 2025, indicating that classic camping remains popular, but there is a growing demand for comfortable lodging.
A German motorist parked a caravan in front of a mobile speed camera, temporarily blocking its view of the road. The incident went viral on social media. According to Spanish outlet Noticias Trabajo, the parking was legal and the driver did not touch the equipment, so police found no grounds for a fine. Experts note that such actions are not always legal and depend on circumstances.
At the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will unveil two world premieres: the fully electric ID.

The company will also showcase updated California models with new options, including an electric tailgate and improved climate control, as well as the California Ocean 'Generation', an ABT Sportsline aero kit, the Caddy California, and the Grand California with new features for the 2027 model year.
In Bühl, Germany, a new motorhome parking area opened two years ago, replacing an old one that was in poor condition. Now tourists from across Europe stop there, satisfied with the facilities. The reason for stopping is the convenience and quality of the new site.
On August 23, 2026, campers at a motorhome parking area along the Kiel Canal in Rendsburg, Germany, cheered as the cruise ship MS Europa passed by. They also shared their opinions on Rendsburg as a holiday destination, with mixed reviews.
German manufacturer Ari Motors has introduced the compact motorhome Ari 458 Pro Camper based on the Ari 458 Pro model. The vehicle measures 3.82 meters in length, 1.49 meters in width, and 1.85 meters in height, with a usable area of 2.8 square meters. An electric motor with 5 kW (20 hp) powers the vehicle to a top speed of 70 km/h. Battery options include 15 kWh (120 km range) and 23.5 kWh (230 km range). Solar panels are available as an option. The price in Germany starts at 25,000 euros.
The article discusses ways to improve the ride quality of motorhomes, particularly through comfort springs, air suspension, and shock absorbers. Unlike passenger cars, where tuning focuses on sportiness, the main goal for motorhomes is increased comfort. Although models based on Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, Renault Master, and VW Crafter (MAN TGE) are ahead of Stellantis chassis in comfort, the Fiat Ducato and its siblings Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Jumper remain the dominant base vehicles, whose road behavior can be improved in many areas.
