Bürstner to stop caravan production from 2027
Original source: t-online

In Brief

Traditional German manufacturer Bürstner is exiting the caravan segment to focus on campers and motorhomes. The decision follows a drop in caravan sales across Europe and Germany.

German manufacturer Bürstner has announced it will cease caravan production from the 2027 season. The company is refocusing on campers and motorhomes, continuing to produce a compact camper, a six-meter van, and a partially integrated motorhome. Spare parts for previously sold caravans will still be supplied.

The decision comes amid declining caravan sales: according to the Caravan-Verband, around 54,200 new caravans were registered in Europe in 2025 (down 11% from 2024), and 18,766 in Germany (down 13.4%). The motorhome market remained stable, with 161,000 registrations in Europe (+0.6%) and 75,368 in Germany (+0.9%). German caravan sales approached the historic low of 2010.
