Bürstner to Stop Caravan Production by 2027
Original source: bild.de

In Brief

German manufacturer Bürstner will cease caravan production from the 2027 season, focusing on motorhomes and camper vans. The decision follows declining demand in Europe and Germany.

Bürstner, part of the Hymer Group, has announced it will stop producing caravans (trailers) from the 2027 season. Production capacity will be redirected to motorhomes and camper vans. The decision is part of the "Bürstner Reloaded" strategy amid a 11% drop in European caravan sales in 2025.

In Germany, 18,766 new caravans were registered in 2025, down 13.4% year-on-year. Earlier, about 40 jobs were cut at two plants. Some sources say no further job cuts are planned, while others mention the previous reductions.

Service and spare parts for existing caravans will continue in full. Motorhome and camper production will continue at the Kehl and Wissembourg plants.

German manufacturers produced about 99,000 motorhomes and caravans in 2025, a 17% decline year-on-year. Reasons cited vary: temporary overproduction and high dealer inventories according to some, while others point to high inflation and falling demand.

German manufacturer Frankia from Oberhaid is radically restructuring its range: classic F-Line, Titan and Platin series are being discontinued, replaced by new models on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. The new Noctra Liner (from €157,900) and Neo Liner (from €124,900) are built on Sprinter, while the Together Edition anniversary model (from €119,900 for alcove, from €143,900 for integrated) and Final Edition F-Line/Titan (from €139,990) remain on Fiat Ducato. From 2027, all Frankia motorhomes will be front-wheel drive only, with rear-wheel drive dropped from the program.

Campingparadies Kellenhusen on the Baltic Sea has created 57 new paved motorhome pitches. The pitches are divided into four categories for vehicle lengths from 5 to 10 metres, all with electricity and water connections. A new disposal station, four washing stations and a dog shower complete the offer. In the 2026 season, the campsite recorded 35% more arrivals than in the same period in 2025. The season is to be extended in future: a new check-in machine will allow bookings for self-caterers over the New Year period, initially without a water connection outside the regular season. Winter operation may become possible depending on weather conditions. A new reception building with storage areas and an operator flat is planned for the future. The campsite has existed since 27 March 1999 and currently offers around 280 pitches for permanent campers, caravans, tents and motorhomes. A generational change is due next year.
