In Brief

German manufacturer Bürstner (Hymer Group) will completely cease caravan production from the 2027 season, focusing on motorhomes and campervans. The decision follows a drop in demand for towable trailers.

Bürstner, based in Kehl, announced it will end production of caravans (towed trailers) from the 2027 season as part of its 'Bürstner Reloaded' strategy. The move is driven by declining demand: in 2025, European caravan sales fell by 11%, and in Germany by 13.4%, while the motorhome market grew by 0.6%.

Caravan production was historic for Bürstner — it began with them in the 1950s. The last model was the B66, released for the brand's 66th anniversary. The company will focus on motorhomes and campervans, reducing its lineup to three series: Papillon, Habiton, and Signature. The Signature SFT 7.0 was named ANWB/NKC 'Camper of the Year 2026'.

Service and spare parts for existing caravans will continue. Restructuring at plants in Kehl and Wissembourg led to about 40 job cuts, but no layoffs are planned. CEO Hubert Brandl stated this is not a final exit from the caravan segment but a reallocation of resources. Within the Erwin Hymer Group, caravan production continues at Dethleffs, LMC, and Eriba.
