German manufacturer Bürstner (Hymer Group) will completely stop caravan production from the 2027 season as part of its 'Bürstner Reloaded' strategy. The company will focus on motorhomes and camper vans, while maintaining service and spare parts for existing caravan owners.

Bürstner, based in Kehl and part of the Erwin Hymer Group, has announced the complete cessation of caravan development and production starting with the 2027 model year. The decision is part of the 'Bürstner Reloaded' strategy, which previously led to the discontinuation of all previous motorhome lines and the launch of three new models: Papillon, Habiton, and Signature.

The move is attributed to changing consumer demand and a sustained decline in caravan registrations. In 2025, European caravan sales fell by 11%, and by 13.4% in Germany, while the motorhome segment is recovering (+0.6% in Europe). In 2026, only one of 15 caravan lines remained — the B66, which has now also been discontinued.

CEO Hubert Brandl stated that this is not a final exit from the segment but a reallocation of resources. Service and spare parts for previously sold caravans will be fully maintained. Within the Erwin Hymer Group, caravan production continues at Dethleffs, LMC, and Eriba.
