Pössl showed recipe for cheap motorhome in the 1990s: bathroom, kitchen and fixed bed at the price of an empty van

In 1996, the Pössl Duo Van cost 45,885 marks — exactly the same as an empty panel van at a German dealership. The company bought Peugeot chassis in Slovenia at wholesale prices and outsourced series production of the living module to Adria, a Slovenian caravan manufacturer with lower costs. Today, this model is used by many brands: Carado, Adria, Weinsberg and Pössl offer six-metre campervans with a bathroom and fixed bed from €47,499 to €63,379. A production campervan is significantly cheaper than a custom conversion, but the base price often excludes essential options.
