In Brief

The CMT trade fair in Stuttgart (until Jan 25) showcases over 1,200 motorhomes and caravans. Highlights include a Fiat Ducato-based camper from €40,000 and caravans under €20,000. A new pavilion for DIY van conversions opens for the first time.

The CMT trade fair in Stuttgart, running from January 17 to 25, has turned the exhibition complex into Europe's largest motorhome parking lot. It features 1,660 exhibitors, including 1,200 motorhomes and caravans.

Among more than 120 new products are budget models for beginners: a camper based on the Fiat Ducatoⓘ from €40,000 and caravans under €20,000. For the first time, a separate pavilion offers equipment for DIY van conversions. Solutions for off-grid energy supply are also presented.

Visitors can not only view and purchase vehicles but also donate biological waste from toilets for a scientific project to create bio-concrete. The popularity of caravanning in Germany is growing: in the first ten months of 2025, the number of overnight stays at campsites rose by 4% to 44 million.

Fire at rest area: motorhome of couple from Westerwald goes up in flames

Firefighters extinguished the blaze, but the vehicle was completely burned out. Two propane cylinders were removed and emptied, and highway lanes were temporarily closed, causing a multi-kilometer traffic jam.

Burning motorhome triggers forest fire on A3

On Wednesday evening, a motorhome caught fire on the A3 near Niedernhausen, causing a full closure of the southbound lanes for several hours. The fire spread to an adjacent forest area, igniting a wildfire. The 66-year-old driver noticed smoke from the right front wheel and stopped on the hard shoulder. Two propane cylinders exploded, and about 2,500 square meters of forest burned. Damage to the motorhome is estimated at 25,000 euros; forest damage is yet to be quantified.
