Changes are underway at the Erwin Hymer Group. After Bürstner announced it would cease caravan production in 2027, Dethleffs now also faces cuts. The company, considered the inventor of the caravan, is not exiting the trailer segment entirely but is discontinuing the Camper, Nomad, and Beduin Scandinavia lines. Dethleffs plans to return to the market in the 2028 model year with completely revamped models, a surprise given the comprehensive update of all three series in 2025.
Weinsberg has unveiled the updated CaraBus Edition Fire for the 2027 model year. Key changes include a one-piece sandwich roof panel for improved thermal and noise insulation, making the camper suitable for winter travel. The previous compact wet bathroom is replaced by a swivel shower, and the interior features wooden profiles, extendable seats, and a new kitchen countertop. The model retains the Fiat Ducato base and is available in seven floor plans starting at €59,490.
Dethleffs, part of the Erwin Hymer Group, has announced the discontinuation of its Camper, Nomad, and Beduin Scandinavia caravan ranges. Production will halt until 2028, when the company plans to launch completely redesigned models. The decision comes amid a decline in caravan sales: in April 2026, the market fell 18% year-on-year. Another factor is the growing number of electric vehicles, which are less suitable for towing trailers.
