Bürstner to end caravan production from 2027
Original source: Die heutigen Nachrichten

In Brief

German manufacturer Bürstner, part of the Hymer Group, will completely stop caravan production from the 2027 season. The company will focus on motorhomes and camper vans, while continuing service and spare parts for existing customers.

Bürstner, founded in 1958 and based in Kehl, Germany, has announced it will cease production of caravans (trailers) from model year 2027. The decision is part of the 'Bürstner Reloaded' strategy, driven by declining demand for towable caravans in Europe.

According to the company, 18,766 new caravans were registered in Germany in 2025 — a 13.4% drop year-on-year. Across Europe, caravan sales fell by 11% to 54,200 units. The motorhome segment, in contrast, remains more stable.

Production facilities in Kehl and Wissembourg will be refocused on motorhomes and camper vans. No job cuts are planned, though around 40 positions were previously eliminated at the two plants. Service and spare parts for existing Bürstner caravans will continue in full.
